[laughs] SELENE: Are you- are you even in frame anymore??
NICOLE: I don't inspire, Aryan. This is a one way relationship.
[Aryan laughs]
NATHANIEL: It's uh– Jonathan's way or-
the highway.
JONATHAN: NO it's not-
We only fought twice!
CLAY: Oh, shoot!
We're back with another episode of 3 Choreographers 1 Song!
Except this time,
[whispering] it's not really three choreographers,
we lied!
And since it's Valentine's Day,
we brought couples:
Nicole Kirkland and Aryan Davenport,
Isidro Rafael, and Selene Haro
and Jonathan Sison and Nathaniel Gonzaga.
The three couples will be performing
to "34 + 35" by Ariana Grande.
Let's- get- INTO it!
COUPLE #1: NICOLE & ARYAN
NICOLE: What's up, my name is Nicole Kirkland and I have choreographed
and danced for Prince,
Nicole Scherzinger,
Iggy Azalea,
Ne-Yo..
ARYAN: Hi, my name is Aryan Davenport and I have choreographed
and danced for Nicki Minaj and Tank to name a couple.
I think the hardest part was like–
judging- like judging the piece and being like,
"Is this trash?"
[laughs] NICOLE: "Is this trash or is it good?"
ARYAN: ..or is it good? Yeah! NICOLE: Yeah,
will people like this?
I think what inspired me with this piece
was Aryan's movement.
ARYAN: You inspired me–
No..
No actually yeah, you kind of-
no...
[laughs]
NICOLE: I don't inspire Aryan,
this is a one way relationship. [Aryan laughs]
ARYAN: No- no, no, no.
You did!
You did!!
Because you added like a cute little pocket
and that's, like, what made it cool.
NICOLE: I'm the pocket, she's the sex-
..xy. ARYAN: -xy.
[Nicole laughs]
ARYAN: Yeah-! There we go.
SELENE: Ohh! ISIDRO: Look at that shoe game!
JONATHAN: Aye.
SELENE & ISIDRO: Eyyy!
BOTH: Eyyyy!
SELENE: Yeahh-!
ISIDRO: So good..
Effortless..
SELENE: Yeahh..! ISIDRO: WOOhoohoo!
JONATHAN: Ugh, the way she's looking at her!
NATHANIEL: OooOOooo!
JONATHAN: Okay!
ISIDRO: Ow..! Ouch..
Eyy!
BOTH: Ahh!
ISIDRO: Hey–!
JONATHAN: Go off Nicole!
NATHANIEL: I could never..
[laughs]
JONATHAN: Hey!
SELENE: Yeahh! ISIDRO: Ohh!!
[Selene laughs]
Wow..!
Nice!
SELENE: Yeeeee! ISIDRO: Ohhh!
JONATHAN: Come onnnn!
Ugh!
JONATHAN: They love each other so much!
SELENE: My cheeks hurt!
[Selene laughs] ISIDRO: I will work to be that flexible one day.
[ ♪ Celine Dion's "Only One Road" plays ♪ ]
JONATHAN: The way Nicole was looking at her!
AHHH!
I want you to look at me like that.
NATHANIEL: My God..
NATHANIEL: Can you- stop? JONATHAN: Right Nicole?
SELENE: All the little moments that they had, ISIDRO: Yeah..
SELENE: like the little points when they would gaze at each other.
And I would just say like-
fearless and very confident in what they do.
ISIDRO: Fierce.
BOTH: Fierce-less.
SELENE: NO- what?! ISIDRO: No-! No no.
ISIDRO: Fierce.. SELENE: That doesn't make sense!
ISIDRO: Fierce-MORE!
SELENE: I tried to combine the word!
NATHANIEL: My favorite moment in the piece,
I would say have to say-
the last, like, two-eight counts.
Just like going like back in and out.
It be like "Ey, WHOA, hey, HA.."
Oh my G–!
JONATHAN: That part.
SELENE: The floor work...
ISIDRO: Yeah..
SELENE: I- I like, try to envision myself doing that
and I can just see my balance
like going everywhere and just like-
ISIDRO: The dip.
[laughs] SELENE: Are you- are you in frame anymore??
ISIDRO: That's what- but they weren't– they weren't even-
Yeah, that- that was my moment.
COUPLE #2: ISIDRO & SELENE
SELENE: Hi, my name is Selene Haro
and I am a Choreo Cookies alumni,
and a part of Beyond Babel Season 1-3.
ISIDRO: Hi, I'm Isidro Rafael.
I used to dance on 220
and was on Babel Season 2.
And we're currently Building Block Academy directors
for the seniors..
and we have our own program called Ethos.
We were definitely going for, like, a CHASE type of feel.
Kind of building up some sort of tension-
and we kind of do this moment where we're just like,
"Ooh, hello.."
"my name is Isidro.." SELENE: The introduction.
We really focused in
on like- how we can..
listen to it differently.
ISIDRO: We're trying to almost, like,
micro analyze it.
SELENE: –how else we can-
ISIDRO: Yeah, how else we can hear,
how else we can move to it.
So one of our favorite parts of this piece-
let me go OUT, and it goes,
GEE-GEE!
That was the part we were like,
"This is a JOKE like- this is too much!"
This is like, too- I don't know, like–"
SELENE: We were just having fun!
ISIDRO: Yeah, yeah, yeah. SELENE: It was just-
ISIDRO: Let's just go for it. SELENE: Why not?
SELENE: Why not? ISIDRO: Why not? Who cares?
SELENE: It felt good.
ISIDRO: Dance is fun!
SELENE: Yeah, that was definitely a moment.
[Selene laughs] ISIDRO: Favorite moment.
JONATHAN: Let's go guys! Come on friends!
NATHANIEL: Nice intro..
Hey!
NICOLE: Oh cute!
NICOLE: Oh s**t! ARYAN: Ooh!
JONATHAN: Noooo!
BOTH: Eyyy!
NICOLE: Eyy!
JONATHAN: Hey! Hey!
ARYAN: Eyyy! NICOLE: Yess!
NICOLE: Their musicality is cool!
ARYAN: It's so lit!
NICOLE: Eyyy!
ARYAN: Heyyyy-!
NICOLE: Aw, they're cute!
You can tell they dance together a lot!
ARYAN: A LOT.
NICOLE: Yeah..
JONATHAN: Hey, hey!
NATHANIEL: Heyy!
NICOLE: Tikkeh! ARYAN: Ayyee!
JONATHAN: Ayye!
Heyy!!
ARYAN: Oooooooh! NICOLE: Ooh! Bass-bass?
You hear that bass-bass?
ARYAN: That musicality is crazy!
NICOLE: You wanna try it again? ARYAN: Wait, I want to do it again because-
NICOLE: You want to use some of their musicality? ARYAN: Yeah..
Yeah, no, ours is TRASH babe!
[laughs]
Wait, that was the ONE!
Run that back!
[Nicole laughs]
DEVIN: Do you guys wanna watch it again..?
ARYAN: Yes, run that back!
JONATHAN: They painted a perfect picture
and it was so, like-
patient to a point where your eyes couldn't
adjust to everything that was going on.
NICOLE: I feel like I could watch it multiple times
and catch different things. ARYAN: And catch different things-!
NICOLE: Yeah. ARYAN: And now- now when I listen to the song,
NICOLE: Tk-tk–! Bass-bass! I'm gonna hear different bass- yeahh!
I'm gonna hear different things I didn't hear before.
There was a specific moment in the beginning..
where they, like- went really slow
and like- hit like a tick-tick again
it was just super tight.
That was the moment that made me be like,
"This is different,"
JONATHAN: This part... NATHANIEL: Mm..
JONATHAN: ...and then they went like,
NATHANIEL: Okay–
JONATHAN: And then the–
And then the WINDOW?
NATHANIEL: That was cute.
There was a part where they were like-
holding.. this pose-
and then there was like music
and all-of-the-sudden she was like, "Ehlehlehl!"
And there was like a–
JONATHAN: That part? [laughs]
NATHANIEL: Don't JUDGE my part!
JONATHAN: Sorry! [laughing]
NATHANIEL: I really like that part!
COUPLE #3: JONATHAN & NATHANIEL
JONATHAN: What's up everybody!
Um- I'm Jonathan Sison
and I am the founder of ThaMost.
Some credits-
World of Dance,
some Todrick Hall,
some Kash Doll action.
NATHANIEL: My name's Nathaniel
and I have choreographed for Amber Liu.
JONATHAN: Our general thought process is uh- don't fight.
NATHANIEL: Mhm!
[laughs]
NATHANIEL: It's Jonathan's way or-
the highway.
JONATHAN: NO it's not-!
Mm- okay..
I think what inspired us
I think personally- was just our love for each other.
[both laugh]
And it's one of those moments where like- [Nathaniel laughs]
moments like this
where we're just like giggling and laughing.
And we had a LOT of those moments as we were choreographing too-
it wasn't just fighting- NATHANIEL: Yeah.
JONATHAN: Um- only because we were playing-
NATHANIEL: It wasn't just fighting. JONATHAN: It wasn't just fighting.
NATHANIEL: We had a high-five in there.
We were going back and forth up until like, today..
if we were gonna put it in..
JONATHAN: You're like, "Can you stay up all night?"
Yes!
What??
Let's just add that!
No, I don't get to dance with my boyfriend a lot!
NATHANIEL: Cause you–
So, thank you for giving me the opportunity!
[Aryan laughs] NICOLE: Awwhaha!
I love this start!
ARYAN: This is FANTASTIC! NICOLE: Awww!
ARYAN: Play it. Run it DJ!
Run it!
SELENE: Yeahhh! ISIDRO: Awww!
[Selene laughs]
ISIDRO: I could never wear those jeans..
NICOLE: Ayye!
That little wink..!
NICOLE: Ayyeee! ARYAN: Yeup!
ISIDRO: OHH!
SELENE: Okay!!
ISIDRO: There's the earthquake, there it is!
ARYAN: Heyy!
[Selene laughs] ISIDRO: WOO!
Ahh..
The hold..
BOTH: Ayyeee!
ISIDRO: Ohhhh..!
NICOLE: Yess!
ARYAN: Bass-bass!
NICOLE: I dig those black nails.
ARYAN: Ey-! That's cute.
NICOLE: Aww!
SELENE: AH! ISIDRO: OH!
[Selene laughs]
ISIDRO: Oh my God, those hips!
NICOLE: Yess! ARYAN: Aww..
..ayee!
ISIDRO: That was clean!
That was so clean!!
NICOLE: Ah-! Take my hand..
ARYAN: Aww- BOTH: That was so CUTE!
ARYAN: That's really cute.
I wanna go hug them.
They're so cute
SELENE: Initial reaction? Wow.
ISIDRO: Yeah.
It just DRAWS you in.
As an audience, when they're able
to capture you, like- from the get-go,
with their performance, it's like,
I'm already entertained.
ARYAN: Yeah, their chemistry is crazy.
I feel like they're entire piece was like-
it's like a cat and mouse-
like there was one moment that was leading NICOLE: One was leading, one was following..
ARYAN: and one that was leading and following-
BOTH: Yeah..
ARYAN: That was like really- that was really cute.
NICOLE: Their- their facials, their expressions,
the way they danced together,
ARYAN: Yeah.. NICOLE: you can tell their comfortable with each other.
ARYAN: Yeah! Like-
like even if they weren't a couple,
I would look at this and be like,
"They're a couple"
ARYAN: Like, it just- NICOLE: If you didn't know who they were?
ARYAN: Yeah, if I didn't know who they were!
ISIDRO: It takes so much confidence to, like,
look– at this person in the eyes
while you're dancing, right?
And like- you're drawn into that connection that they had-
but other than..
that- it would probably be the pants.
SELENE: Oh-! [laughs]
ISIDRO: Which I will try to wear one day, hopefully.
SELENE: My favorite moment was when they faced the back
and they're like, "Gong-gong."
[both laugh]
SELENE: Earthquake!
ISIDRO: That was not 4.5 Ariana!
SELENE: No! ISIDRO: That was a 10.12.
SELENE: Yep!
ISIDRO: Here- I'm gonna demonstrate.
SELENE: I don't know if you're on– [laughs]
screen. ISIDRO: It's easier to demonstrate like that..
