CHRISTA: BOOM!
I'm HERE!
I'm ready to get this DONE!
JESSIE: What's up everybody!
Welcome back to STEEZY's channel,
It's your girl Jessie!
CLAY: And your boy Clay,
and for this episode of 3 Choreographers 1 Song,
we have the powerful sisterhood trio,
the Ford Sisters!
Featuring,
Christa Ford,
Kaley Ford,
and Brianna Ford!
JESSIE: The three will be performing to "Still Feelin' It" by Mistah F.A.B.
CLAY: Let's get into it!
Choreographer #1: Christa Ford
CHRISTA: Hi, my name is Christa Ford!
And.. I currently dance with two lovely women-
who- look so much like me you might think we're related..
And we are!
And we call ourselves the Ford Sisters!
Well my general thought process
when I was choreographing my piece was-
to just give a lot of BODY to it.
I wanted to implement a lot of grooves,
waving,
a lot of-
ENERGY into it-
cause I know Kaley and Brianna-
they're gonna go a lot more intricate,
a lot more minimalistic movement-
and I wanted to go the complete opposite spectrum of that.
So I was inspired by them-
to be uninspired..
[laughs]
That's–
Does that make sense the way I explained it?? EARNEY: Yeah-yeah-yeah! Like–
My all-time favorite-
moment-
in my choreography is when
he goes "I just wanna party with somebody's body,"
"get a little naughty-"
That part-
little explicit, but-
it just feels so good-
in my body when I do it.
I'm just like "Oooooooh-"
"just gotta sauce it out," you know?
To just, you know, get it on!
[laughs]
BRIANNA: Of course..
Ew!
KALEY: C'mon Christa!
BRIANNA: Eww!
Come onn!
BRIANNA: Okay, yes!
KALEY: Ayyeee!
BRIANNA: Yeeee!
KALEY: YES!
BRIANNA: Oh!
Oh..!
Ewwe!
BRIANNA: Come on Christa!
Okay [inaudible]!
Mm!
KALEY: Zaymmmmmm!
BRIANNA: Mm!
[pop]
Noice.
KALEY: That's my sister..
[cry laugh]
I don't normally get to see-
my sisters dance-
solo.
BRIANNA: I mean,
she's like a fireball!
She just– she-
right out the gate,
she's like, "Alright"
"This is me!"
"This is-"
"This is what I do!"
Anytime I watch Christa dance,
she's always-
USING her body
to the fullest.
That's why I love Christa so much
and I love watching her dance
because she makes you feel like-
you wanna dance WITH her-
and get up and be like,
"Ayyyeeeee!"
KALEY: Something that surprised me in Christa's piece was-
her dynamics.
She's always very explosive,
but, how she was able to kind of-
contain it,
and then explode back out-
good job Christa.
BRIANNA: She normally-
wants to just make everything super BIG..
but specifically for-
THIS dance,
I saw her really pull out certain beats
and really execute strongly-
and make-
choices.
I love- her choices that she did.
I would say one of my favorite moments of Christa's piece
is when she does the little sneak.
[sneak noises?]
And then I also love when-
she's doing the body..
Ch-ch!
I mean I already pointed it out but-
CHRISTA: MY favorite moment in her piece is when she goes like,
[demonstrates waving part] "Ee, ee"
and it's kind of like- contained
and then she explodes right back out..
I LOVE that part!
Choreographer #2: Kaley Ford
KALEY: Hi! My name is Kaley Ford,
and I am one of three
of the Ford Sisters!
I really wanted to play off of
how he was saying
and WHAT he was saying-
so the character aspect..
And.. all the intricate beats-
I'm.. a really big musicality person-
and so I just wanted to combine those two things and-
cook it in the oven and-
create this beautiful croissant..
of all these layers.
[laughs]
So my inspiration for this piece
came from-
both my sisters
Christa-
she's very groovy, so I wanted to add
that kind of into my dance..
and then my other sister, Brianna-
she's very INTRICATE-
and, I wanted to combine those both,
but I also was inspired by Lando
Wilkins-
HIS musicality is just-
[chefs kiss]
It's just perfection.
My favorite moments-
number one is-
when I go to the floor, I-
NEVER go to the floor..
I am NOT a floor dancer,
so..
I don't know..
God just HIT me with that, so-
And then my other one was at the end-
I kinda do like this character- [demonstrates]
pushover..
I just found it really cute and I was-
[shrugs]
Yeah..!
CHRISTA: Ooh!
BRIANNA: YaAAHH!
BRIANNA: Ee-ee!
CHRISTA: Okay!!
BRIANNA: Ayyeee!
CHRISTA: Ooh that's smooth!
BRIANNA: Come on floor work!!
CHRISTA: Okay!
With the beats!
BRIANNA: Ewwww!
CHRISTA: I see that face!
BRIANNA: Aw, Kaley!
CHRISTA: Let's gooo!
Okay!
CHRISTA: Aww- I knew it.
Stt.
Kaley.
That's Kaley right there!
Yup, that's my sister!
CHRISTA: It's expected to be unexpected!
Cause I know–
I know Kaley-
and I know what she does and how she moves..
but I've never seen it to its fullest capability-
because we've never had a-
a time where we could-
dance- separately and really just do our own thing..
It really j-
it showed her so much,
with all the character moments that she had.
BRIANNA: And especially when she choreographs,
you could watch the video five times,
and notice something new-
within each video.
The way she dances is very complex.
She also-
really SITS within musicality.
Oh, so the beat goes,
"Bohmmm-"
and then she'll go the whole "bohmmm"
while, naturally, other people'd be like,
"Okay, bohm."
I think what surprised me the most,
was-
how much- femininity that came through.
Mistah F.A.B. is such a-
you're just making stank face the whole time.
So, her ability to add in those feminine-
especially when she does the-
[demonstrates]
I don't know– the petting the air-
kind of thing.
CHRISTA: She also did a part where-
when she went to the floor-
Kaley NEVER does floor work!
She NEVER does floor work
ever ever ever!
Anytime we try to do floor work,
she's be like,
"Nah."
BRIANNA: Kaley HATES floor work.
I LOVE floor work,
so I always bring it up,
and she ALWAYS says no.
CHRISTA: Like IMMEDIATE reaction is for her to go,
"Nope."
BRIANNA: I'll literally look at her,
and she'll KNOW I'm about to say something
about floor work and she just goes,
Yet, she looks the BEST doing floor work-
I mean, you can see it.
You- I-
there's the proof!
Kaley's like the BIGGEST-
shocking- person out of all of us,
because she's a very shy-
doesn't always initiate the first conversation..
When she dances, it's like,
"BOOM!"
"I'm HERE!"
"I'm ready to get this DONE!"
It's crazy how it's-
how we dance the complete opposite spectrum of-
how we act in person..
It's crazy.
Choreographer #3: Brianna Ford
BRIANNA: Uh- what's up y'all!
My name is Brianna Ford!
My general thought process for-
choreographing-
mainly is about me-
dissecting the music..
and I really like-
seeing ALL the layers
to each song-
and then,
making my own recipe-
you could say,
'til you get a final-
dish..
[laughs]
Because of how many layers to the song
there are-
there's like seven or eight layers within
a certain section/verse.
There's just SO much information
that I could possibly go on-
the endless
pathways I could go-
that it was a bit difficult,
but once I decided,
"oh okay, this is what I'm gonna do-"
"I'm gonna hit that tst-tst-tstt"
Or the "be-ne-ne-deen deen"
then-
I was good to go.
One of my main inspirations for this piece,
is..
from JabbawockeeZ
because, that's..
the reason why we found this piece of music in the first place.
And I just love how-
simple their movements are-
but at the same time..
extremely effective,
and entertaining.
I would say one of my favorite moments from
my piece would be-
he's talking about a Maserati,
and so I wanted to
kind of break down the section a little bit
so my-
bottom half is-
like me driving a car-
on a street,
but at the same time,
there's like a, "be-de-de de de doon,"
"doon.."
and I wanted to hit that with my fingers-
just going, "ga-ga-ga duh duh"
"whoo!"
CHRISTA: Oh?!
Let's go!
CHRISTA: Ooooooh!
KALEY: Ayyee!
CHRISTA: LET'S go!
[laughs]
Yeah?
YEAH??
KALEY: C'mon Bri!
CHRISTA: Oooooooh!
CHRISTA: That's my–! Oooh that's tight.
Let's go.
[high pitched] KALEY: Okaay!
Okaay!!
CHRISTA: Let's– ending..
That ending though..
KALEY: Dang..
I need to like, pull up..
CHRISTA: She did, "tic-tic-tic!"
This thing,
[demonstrates]
[blows wind]
KALEY: Brianna..
please teach me your ways.
You're just so clean-
and, you got strong arms, and I got like-
noodles.
Help a sister out,
literally.
CHRISTA: I wish I could show you all the pieces that
she used to choreograph for me
when we lived back in St. Louis because-
the amount of growth she has
and, as her as a person and her choreography is just
so extreme,
that..
if you looked back on that choreography
you would not even know it was her choreography..
KALEY: She was so like, sophisticate-
like a sophist-
what a sophisticated woman!
[laughs]
My favorite moment from Brianna's piece,
was, na-
will always be
when she-
did this in the beginning-
she does like,
this swoop-arm thing-
and then she PULLS..
That part is just
all so..
clean.
I could watch that on replay.
CHRISTA: She goes,
"DO-do-do-do-do-do-doo"
and then she goes,
walk out of it-
and just does a little,
"boom-boom" to the camera,
That–
that ENTIRE end-
it's not even a moment!
That ENTIRE ending..
is just fire.
And it's unexpected-!
You don't see it coming-
the entire time-
cause everything else is really smooth..
and then, "do-do-doon, do-do-doon.."
Like she did this part.
And then in the very ending, she's like,
"BOOM, I'm in it!"
"DE-DE-DE-DE-DE!"
Her entire piece is my favorite moment,
what?!
