CHOREOGRAPHER #1: SIENNA LALAU
SIENNA: What's up everyone! I'm Sienna Lalau,
and I currently dance on The Lab.
I have danced AND choreographed for BTS,
J-Lo,
and Ciara.
My general thought process for choreographing this piece
was more performance-based.
I'm a very performance-based dancer.
Every time I dance or whenever I choreograph,
I like to think of myself and the artist themself!
Choreographing off of the words that they're saying
or having a- the demeanor that THEY have behind their music,
I really like to speak through all of that
and make it very conversational.
She was even talking about like- Tahiti..
I gave a little Tahitian- butt roll.
She was saying she's from the Bronx-
I thought about the BK Step.
She was literally just talking as if she's–
the s**t, and so I wanted to-
embody everything that she was saying.
The fun/favorite moments were just-
in ME literally just–
sticking my tongue out or like-
pretending to be her!
Knowing that-
the OTHER two Andrew's were also gonna be choreographing to the same song,
was-
me just knowing that I had to pull up..
I'm very inspired by who they are,
as movers and as dancers
and also as people.
I just felt like I needed to give something different and kinda elevate-
who I was a little bit more.
DREW: My hands are sweaty..
ANDREW: Ohhh LORD, here we go!
Eww! She said "eyebrow.."
DAH!
Gee, gee, gee, gee..
[yells in excitement]
Eww bee bee..
Not Tahiti!
Eeeuh!
Eeuh!
AAAHHHH!
[mimics the move]
Eww!
Ughh!
She tryna fight..
She's REALLY tryna fight..
She's really tryna fight out here-
SIENNA NO!!
She's crazy- oh my God..
what the heck is that..
That's not okay..
That's what I call illegal..
That's illegal.
She should get a ticket for that.
DREW: This is my initial reaction to her..
How?
ANDREW: From what I'm hearing to what I'm watching,
there's just an ultimate, like-
MATCH- it's almost I-
it- it's almost like I watch it and I see like there's-
there was no other better option.
DREW: I'm always scared to see what she comes out with because I'm like,
[ ♪ Harry Potter theme song plays ♪ ]
I feel like I'm getting blown back.
ANDREW: I think my favorite moment was Tahiti.
That- [demonstrates]
Ooo- Sienna, you're crazy!
DREW: Definitely the gee, gee, gee, KA, KA!
That part.. that was-
that was my favorite.
Gee, gee, gee..
That was nasty.
I mean, I didn't do it like her but, you know..
CHOREOGRAPHER #2: ANDREW VENEGAS
DREW: Hi, my name is Andrew Venegas.
I currently dance with @inthelab.
I have also danced for Dinah Jane
and Ciara.
I think my typical style when it comes to dance
would be, very flow-y.
Expression-ate.
Yeah just very feely.
I think that's the word, very feely.
She says she steps in the club or something or she walks in-
and- she has a bunch of people just staring at her.
it cut into a-
such a nasty like- little walk,
and I feel like every time I hit that, like I feel like-
a bad–
you know- I'm not gonna say the word, but-
you know.. DEVIN: You can say it.
[laughs] DREW: I feel like a badass- you know.
You know what I'm talkin' about.
KENNY: Watch your profanity..
DREW: I definitely had to take the time to process-
in my head, WHAT I wanted to see-
moment-wise,
rather than just going from start to bottom.
So I- hit the parts that I was feeling the most,
and then after I got those,
I filled in the transition parts that needed to be filled in.
This one was a little bit more difficult because it also had that, um-
old school, like-
you know, that GUITAR- like everything that kinda gave me this like-
not overwhelming to a sense, but-
you had a lot to play with.
I'm more of a words person,
so I couldn't not just pay attention to all those-
different beats and-
everything that was going on.
SIENNA: Let's get it Venegas, come on...
OHH everybody with the intro!
Aahh!
ANDREW: Ah!
OhhHHHhhhh the hips–
don't lie!
Come on!
Uh huh!
Aye!
What, what..
[singing along]–
OHH- Oh!
Come on face!
Ah!
Uh huh..
uh huh..
Ughhhh!
Go!
AHHHH! Look at me, I'm like this.
[giggles]
Ughh! Come on!
Come on!!
COME ON!!
Ewwwww BYE.
OH my GOODNESS..
Venegas.. what?
SIENNA: I feel like he definitely captured the artist's flow very, very well.
ANDREW: Those choices in what HE would choose and HE would create,
totally made sense in my imagination.
SIENNA: One moment that I really, really loved in his piece was a lot of the grooves.
ANDREW: All his like "THROWS, and a- THROWS, and-"
or if he's getting like all those heels-
with the knees.
SIENNA: Every time when he was dancing, like-
his flow was just constantly being, like-
what is the word- ridden? I don't know.
ANDREW: Even like his "downs, HA.. HA-"
SIENNA: He was going with them hips!
He gave that little..
that little swivel.
ANDREW: His hips go- for days.
SIENNA: THIS boy got HIPS for DAYS..
ANDREW: He always does 'em..
SIENNA: Shakira-hips don't LIE, okay?
ANDREW: Watch 'em.
Be aware.
SIENNA: I'm trying to do it in the chair- it's not really working out..
ANDREW: Drew's hips for days..
[laughs] DEVIN: That was great!
That was great dude..!
CHOREOGRAPHER #3: ANDREW ELAM
ANDREW: What's up guys!
My name's Andrew Elam,
and I represent The Lab Creative Arts Studio.
I've been a part of that studio since about 2015.
I've done multiple gigs for things like BTS,
Ciara,
just training, teaching, choreographing almost every student
that has been within the studio.
My general thought-process while creating this piece was definitely like-
"Where do I wanna make moments?"
"What is he or she saying?"
I think my biggest inspiration comes from my imagination-
on how it would look like in a music video.
If someone told me, "You have to say exactly what they're saying in the song,"
"like you can't use your mouth,"
that's where I use my imagination to plug in the moves.
In the beginning I was like, "Wait, how am I gonna start this?"
It's always the rolling the ball for me-
getting the- the ball rolling.
It's this-
sequence of like, "Oh okay okay okay, it's this, this, and that."
Sienna's just- crazy illegal, out of this world,
and Drew has this straight-up fun factor that makes you just wanna like-
wile up and party.
I didn't even wanna stress like, "Oh, I have to look so different.."
I kinda had to just think of like, how can I have more fun with it
and not make it so..
so serious..?
SIENNA: Ahhhh! I'm so excited!
Let's go!
Ohh the intro- come on!
DREW: Hey!
Ughhh!
Eww..
the guitar..
Ahhhhhhh!
[singing along]–
AUGHH!
Musicality.
Ugh!
See, I need to hit that guitar more..
We all- it's crazy to see the difference,
I swear!
Bye Trell, BYEEE- WHAT?
Unh, unh..
What else.. WHAT ELSE?
AHHHHH his musicality..!
Finish it!
Come on, come on!
[laughs]
OHHH my gosh, Trell!!
I'm stuck. [laughs]
I don't know what to say..!
DREW: It's- it's fricken.. cool to see, like-
how he- lets the music marinate on HIS body
'cause naturally I would've went a different way.
There's no right or wrong way to go so it's-
it's tight to see that.
SIENNA: I feel like he was very smart with a lot of like
his choices and the way he was-
executing his movement to the different musicality that was in it.
Chef's kiss.
[snaps]
Period.
DREW: That was a lot!
Like I feel like my piece was full out but-
he's very intricate as well, so being able to-
add that and still go off, like-
I give him- props 'cause,
I probably wouldn't have been able to do that.
SIENNA: My favorite moment in this piece was definitely
either the guitar that he pretended to strum
with that musicality-
DUN-DUN-DUN-DUN-DUN!
oHHhh!
The other part in the ending, where he's kind of just like, isolating his legs
and his arms.
And he goes into the "ka, KA–"
the snares after-
oh my gosh..
I'm telling you, this musicality that he had in this piece..
Geez, I don't know what else to say.
You killed it.
Love you so much.
