This is how it starts.
Hold on, there it is. It's on you.
Ah. Welcome to Next Big Dance Move.
I'm Emmanuel Hudson.
I'm Dana Alexa.
I'm Darren "Big Baby" Brand.
And we're going to have three contestants come to the stage
to show us what they really got.
We're just here to figure out which dance move
is going to become viral.
And the winner will be blasted on MTV's Tik Tok page.
Wait, on what? Tik Tok.
Oh.
That's what we called it back in my day,
when you tick and then you tock.
I'm tired of waiting. Y'all ready to start?
Let's do it. Let's go.
Hey, pull up!
All right. Okay, what's happening?
What's going on, my boy?
Here we go.
My name is Deshawn "MJ 2" Davis,
and my dance move is called "Nope."
I created this dance move after
I watched Michael Jackson's music video Smooth Criminal.
Hehe.
And he did this move where it was so precise,
that I thought it would be dope to bring it
into the reality of things.
I'm ready to see it.
I want to see this.
Let's do it. Let's go, now.
Oh, okay, that's [inaudible 00:00:53] slide. Nope.
Nope. Hey!
Slide. Nope.
Okay. One more. Slide. Nope. Nope.
[inaudible 00:00:59]. Hey! Okay. [crosstalk 00:00:59]
We had to put a little flavor on that
[crosstalk 00:01:04]
[crosstalk 00:01:04] a little bit.
Yeah, okay, cool, cool, cool, cool.
I like that. Y'all good? We solid on that?
I like that.
Yeah, we solid. It was quick. Short, sweet, and simple.
Got the amenities for a nice little dance.
All right, my boy.
All right, man.
I kind of like that first one, right?
It was- It was a good start.
Next dancer, you are summoned.
Okay. Okay.
Step into the light.
I'm Kristen. I'm 20 years old. I do break dancing and litefeet.
What is litefeet?
You know showtime on the subway? Get lite-
Oh, that ... Oh! [crosstalk 00:01:32].
Chicken noodle soup with a soda on the side.
Right. That, yeah.
I don't like soda. It's bad for your skin.
Shut up.
But ... With water on the side.
So this move is like a litefeet breaking move
that would make sense in that community.
What's it called?
Yeah, what's it called?
The Cook Up. I'm intrigued.
Okay. Let's see it.
All right.
Drop the beat. Uh. Uh. Okay. Uh.
Drop. Spin. With a pop!
Let me ... now pass it here. Pass it here.
Pass it, pass it here. Pass it here.
Lend me some.
Let me try ... get some. Get some. Get some.
Missing some seasoning.
I like it! I like it. I like it.
I do. She has good knees.
That's what I was thinking. [crosstalk 00:02:20]
[crosstalk 00:02:20] pop off the knees twice like that.
I was thinking, like I think about it if my dad had to do it,
and he would never get back up. Because ... you know?
Look. It ain't for the people that's almost dead.
No offense. No offense to your dad.
You going to say her daddy almost dead?
My daddy is not almost dead!
I don't know, I'm just saying. Don't talk about knee prob ...
I like it.
Thank you. I like it.
Great job. Amazing. All right. Thank you so much.
Highlighter.
Thank you. That'll be all right. That'll be it.
All right, little cordon bleu! Little Cook Up.
You killed it.
All right, so let's see
what number three brings to the table, yeah?
Yeah, let's do it.
All right, contestant three, let's go. Hey.
Now, see, that's how you come out the curtain.
He revealed himself.
Let's go, [O'Dell 00:02:54].
How you guys doing? My name is Omari Brown.
I'm 28 years old.
The name of my next big dance move is called "Juice."
The way this move came up, simply, is coming from a vibe.
You got to feel it. You ever been to a party,
and had people want to do a move with you and vibe out with you?
This is that move. So do I have the opportunity to show you?
Yeah.
Man, yeah, let's go. Let's do it.
His presentation's phenomenal.
Yah, yah. Yep. Yah. Yah.
Hold up, here. I got to catch it though.
It's a quick. It's a quick, it's a quick, it's a quick.
Okay. Hey. That's up.
It's a down-up.
Yeah. Then you got to throw it away.
See?
Short, sweet, simple. Right to it.
I like it.
You like it? I do. I like it.
Can you end it with something a little more snappy?
So it's not just a down-up and then a step
[inaudible 00:03:41]. Give us a little-
Yeah, I need something after the down-up.
After you finish doing this, you vibe it out,
give your own little move to it, you don't have to make it that,
and then give your pose at the end of that.
Okay, that's snappier.
Bookoo. Cat, cat, cat, cat, pose.
Two, three, four, pose. Yeah, pose. Yes.
Yeah, okay.
Okay, I see it. Yeah. Hit solid.
That definitely ...
Solid. Appreciate that.
And it gives you a chance to freestyle your own flavor,
and then get back with everybody else on beat, in one.
Mm-hmm (affirmative). We like it. Thanks so much.
Hey man, good moves, my boy. Already.
Thank you guys so much. Thank you.
All right. You could tell from the beginning ...
He was in it. Yeah.
You can tell he used to watch 3 Ninjas.
Well, well, well. What y'all think?
The Nope guy? I think his dance move is more situational.
I think it has a better chance at going viral
if it was put to comedy.
My thing with that one, it's called the Nope,
and he's pointing at you. That's the "Yep."
You have to look at it like,
"If you say something I don't like, I'm going to
Nope your ass. I'm just going to, Nope."
Nope.
You know what I'm saying? So if you're in a party,
where it's a funny meme or something,
I could see people doing it, but not-
Now you're selling me on it. Now I'm kind of liking the Nope.
Not with a regular-
So being you as the dancer,
and you have the best abs on set ...
Ah, well, I'm working on mine.
What touched you the most? What came out to you?
I liked the Cookout.
I think that was the most dynamic one.
But to me, viral has to be something everyone can do.
And I just don't think that drop into the spin
is going to be a ...
Move got me hyped though.
It really got me hyped [crosstalk 00:04:55]-
It did. You were lit.
If I see like nine people do that in unison,
I'm in it.
But- And then the last guy.
Okay, Omari.
But see, I've seen Chris Brown-
Omari. Do this thousands of times.
With the down-up.
I done seen Chris ... I done seen him-
It had the timing for a viral move,
but he was one move away from the new electric slide.
So, yeah.
Everybody put your hands in.
How are we doing it?
I ain't no Power Ranger.
Okay, Simon. Ready?
Yeah.
Everyone out! Dancers ...
there we go, there we go. Let's go.
Give a round of applause, y'all. Give them some love, man.
First of all, each one of y'all did amazing.
All the moves were great. But we can only pick one.
Today, we picked ... Kristen, with the Cook Up.
Thank you guys.
You killed that!
Appreciate y'all, man.
Great job. Thank y'all.
So now, we have to go up here and learn this one.
Come on, man, let's get it right.
Let's [crosstalk 00:05:49] it out.
I am not fixing to do the spin and the ...
You got to do it! Bro, you voted it to win!
All right, here we go, here we go, here we go.
Take us out. Here we go, [inaudible 00:05:55] here we go.
In the countdown, [crosstalk 00:05:56], oh. Oh! In heels!
Hey. Hey.
Hey, let's go.
I got down with it [crosstalk 00:06:02]
You did it! [crosstalk 00:06:07]
