She's that person that's going to sit in the middle of a thunderstorm
and go, "God, it's just so great for this rain, and this lightning, and this thunder."
Everyone around her is like, "well, I hate the rain, you know?"
Welcome back to Three Choreographers One Song
For today we have three amazing dancers: Amari Marshall, Alexa Nof, SHE Street AKA The Councilwoman.
They'll be dancing to "Throw It Back" by Missy Elliott.
Choreographer number one: Amari Marshall
Hey everyone my name is Amari Marshall.
You've probably seen me work with Janet Jackson, Beyonce, Rihanna with Savage Fenty, Pharrell.
Yes, we're in here. How long did it take for me to make this piece?
It took me 30 to 40 minutes a night going live.
What was going through my mind is I got to go hard because my girls go hard.
So, i need to make sure I match their energy and flow.
So, it's definitely very hard hitting and very attacky, but at the same time
I was like, crap i gotta do this by myself. So i need to add some parts where i can breathe.
Let's go Amari!
Oh my gosh! That was stank. She slapped on that. That was crazy - okay Amari, bravo!
Initial thoughts, holy, it's Amari, okay here we go, here we go. This is kind of like straight
out the gate because i know she's about to come at the camera. She's nasty, she's groovy,
she's technical, she's everything, literally, she's everything. For her it's like a release
and so it's just so high energy I feel like it was everything that I expected it to be and more
and I could probably watch that again. That's I could, let's do it, again let's do it again.
Something I love about Amari's movement is she's depicting the music.
She did something like ting, ting.
There's never been a moment for me in my time of knowing Amari where she isn't
giving you every single piece of her always give a hundred percent even if you aren't
feeling your best aren't in a particular space that you feel like you can give a hundred.
Choreographer Number Two: Alexa Nof
Hello, my name is Alexa Nof and I've worked with Kanye West, Becky G, Khalid, Imagine Dragons.
So, it used to take me maybe half a day to choreograph. So now it's up to an hour hour and a half.
Definitely sat with the music for a while, wanted to really soak in the lyrics.
A lot of it was just groovy, I feel like I'm super groovy, and hype yeah.
Alexa is always giving some popping and then in some with some flowy. Oh, can I curse?
Okay, I was like. I know she's going to be swaggy with it I know she's going to give
us the grooves roof queen. She lives her best life there.
She does this a lot, yeah she'll just be like,
and then oh, she's she's activated good luck.
When I first met Alexa I feel like she like anyone has fears opening a new door.
Alexa really teaches people how to stay in a positive mind frame.
She teaches me that she's that person that's going to sit in the middle of a thunderstorm and go,
"God, it's just so great for this rain, and this lightning, and this thunder.
Everyone around her is like, "well i hate the rain you know?" And she's gonna find that positive thing
and so I think that even helps with dance. When you're learning something new or you're opening up to something
new really honestly you can do anything it's really about the perspective and the mindset
behind it and she's just a great example of it.
Choreographer Number Three: SHE Street
Yo, what's up my name is Sheopatra.
I've danced with the likes of people like Chris Brown, Missy Elliot, Pharrell, Kanye, just to name a few,
and yeah I'm happy you're here with me. Let's do this!
While choreographing this piece I thought to myself, I can't slack in any way because this
is Amari and alexa we're talking about here who are like two people that i look up to.
I think most of the time, I was just trying not to fail like not not be enough energy because yeah they're amazing.
So I had them in my head a lot which I don't know if that's a good thing.
She's straight the queen.
No, that was crazy. She is crazy. SHE you are crazy - wow!
That was good. I can't stand her it's just so annoying.
It's my friends, it's my friends.
She really brings you in when you're watching her.
I can't take my eyes off of her, it's like glue.
My initial reaction is I can't stand her. She's straight no I bag over her.
It's the footwork for me, she just has a way of just making things do some crazy stuff.
Definitely from Memphis, joking, but that part where she's like sliding back and she's pointing side to side,
I would say that's my favorite part. A lot of the street styles underground styles is super male dominated.
It's like you have to be a certain type of woman to take a lot of that energy you know and to be in it.
People can really learn a lot from SHE Street. She's taught me almost everything I know.
When it comes to street styles, she's all across the board, an amazing phenomenal teacher.
Not only is she phenomenal in the style but she's actually you know creating more ways and helping other
female freestylers out there. You know, just really make a career out of it as well.
