SORAH: He's just ANNOYING..
DAVID: I feel lame when I dance.
I'm just like, "Oh man, I'm a nerd."
[laughing]
HALIMA: I don't think I'm ready to see this..
CLAY: What's up everyone!
Welcome back to another episode of 3 Choreographers 1 Song!
We've got three AWESOME dancers for you this week!
We have Halima Dodo,
David Macias,
and Sorah Yang.
The three will be performing to "Show Out (with Skepta and Pop Smoke)" by Kid Cudi.
Let's get into it.
CHOREOGRAPHER #1: HALIMA DODO
HALIMA: Hey, what's up!
My name is Halima Dodo,
and, I'm originally from Miramar, Florida.
Currently living in LA.
I've danced for The Prom,
Black is King, uhh-
JoJo,
and currently I am dancing with Vessel Dance Company,
and also recently joined Motus and ImBrace.
KEVIN: Damn, so you're just on all the training teams..
[laughing]
You know, I like to do the most!
This song is like- typically not the style I do,
so whenever I get like, hard-hitting rap songs
I'm like all right, let's bring out-
the "rRrRRr."
I kind of mixed together a lot of like-
bop and groove from hip hop
and then I also really like-
just like the flow and swag of like-
Dancehall and like Afrobeat's texture,
so that's what I really tried to incorporate within the movement.
So he said something- he said like a prayer
and like he says prayer and then I hit prayer hands,
so I don't know-
I was like, "OHHH,"
"AYEE AYEEE–" like THAT to me was like a fun-
moment that I enjoyed for myself.
[laughing]
SORAH: Oooo!
DAVID: Ee!
[screaming excitedly]
DAVID: Hey!
SORAH: Chhhh...
SORAH: Ohhh-kayyyy..!
Yep yep yep..
DAVID: Ughh...
DAVID: I'm definitely a lazy dancer, dude..
Oh my GOSH..
I know that if I were to do that movement,
it would hurt.. so much.
SORAH: I'm like about to cry, like–
This is how-
great- she is.
I'm tearing up..
DAVID: I just dance like a-
like super abnormal and-
And I mean- not saying that's not dance, but it's like-
I love THAT type of dance as well.
It makes me admire it a lot more.
SORAH: In the beginning, she like
took a little scarf out.
That was NICE.
She does a little groove shortly after that
that's like-
You know what–?
Cut. Let's not-
let's not pretend like I can do it.
I can't do it.
But she does this nasty little groove,
and her like- knees are inverted and it is just..
Nasty. Nasty..
Yeah, when Halima dances, like-
you just want to dance,
like that's-
I feel like, as artists and dancers, you want to accomplish and-
she's dancing and I'm just like-
Hah, hah, hah!
Yeah, crazy..
CHOREOGRAPHER #2: DAVID MACIAS
DAVID: Hello!
My name is David Macias.
I am currently on GRV,
and I'm currently now on Vessel Dance Company.
Yeah.. I'm a very mellow guy,
so I guess it translates through my movement.
When I first heard the song, it's super high energy..
and I was like, "Oh!"
"It's gotta be-"
"pow, pow, pow, pow-!"
Like nah.
I would say like, less is more.
I like to envision myself like a-
like a Shaolin monk..
Walks up to the person and then like they-
one-inch punch him and DONE.
The least amount of movement, but the most amount of impact is super cool.
There's definitely one moment
I'm SUPER proud of..
like-
it HAS to be-
This- this part.
This- cause I get EVERYone.
That means like-
everyone owes me a neck!
HALIMA: AHHHHHLALALALELOLELA-
I don't know if I'm ready–!
I'm nervous..!
Ayyee..
SORAH: OoOO, I did the same thing!
HALIMA: What??
SORAH: Ooooughhhh!
Ee..
Ee- OWHHH–
The knee!!
OH!!
[laughing] Oh my God..
HALIMA: Wait..
[laughing] Wait!
Hahh! Ahh!
Ahh-
Wee-WEE!!
Yes!
Yes!!
SORAH: Oookay- yep.
Okay..
HALIMA: Woo!
SORAH: Oh it was so easy!
It's so EASY for him!
So easy, David!
Must be nice..
HALIMA: DAVEAHHHHHHHHdaa!
YEEES!
That's crazy!
Can I get like a height transplant?
Would that help-
[laughing] for me to be as cool as David??
Like hi- the thing he did with his KNEE,
to drop to the floor..
He got good knees!
He's young, so he got good knees!
SORAH: He's just ANNOYING..
like it really annoys me..
how good he is.
I don't know- it was just so HIM, like he's not-
trying to be anyone else.
I mean I was like,
"BANG BANG BANG-"
in mine, like-
"gAhHh!"
but he didn't like, HAVE to do that
to like assert his-
himself, his movement quality, his musicality-
HALIMA: Not like it was quiet,
but the subtleties were like, SO strong
and like he just went, "Oh!"
It's definitely easier to just, you know-
go with like- the words that you're hearing,
but he-
finds all these subtleties that like-
I'm like, "Wait- was that in the song?"
SORAH: I REALLY liked the part where he's like,
"Skrrrt!"
and he's like,
doon- and then he does some crazy footwork right after!
I feel like that was like a metaphor for like-
this is Sorah, and she's short
and I'm about to SQUASH her!
It was FIRE!
It's okay!
You know- we're friends!
CHOREOGRAPHER #3: SORAH YANG
-SORAH: Hi, my name is Sorah Yang!
I have danced on GRV
and I currently direct and dance on Vessel Dance Company!
My general thought process
while I was choreographing this was-
kind of just to get back INTO dancing like this again.
I think for me, it was mainly overcoming that stress-
of like- and those doubts of like,
"Can I do this still?"
"Am I gonna to be okay?"
You always hear people say like,
"You don't have to hit all the beats."
like, "You don't have to hit everything."
And- and those thoughts enter my head when I'm choreographing
and then I'm just kind of like,
"Nah!"
"I'm gonna hit everything!"
I do what I WANT,
I'm-a keep doing what I want,
and that's-
how I approached this.
[laughing hysterically]
HALIMA: I think we shouldn't.
I think we shouldn't.
I don't think I'm ready to see this..
Yess..
Ooh!
Ughh!
DAVID: Yep..
Okay.
Oh.
Okay.
HALIMA: Ooh!
Eee!
Haa!
Ah!
[exhales]
Ugh, ugh!
Oooooh!
Yes. Yes.
Yeeeeess!!
Ahhhhhh...
Yeeeeesssss.
YEEESSSSSS! [applauding]
DAVID: Even though I'm in her company,
I don't ever look forward to dancing-
doing her dances cause it-
I KNOW it's gonna hurt.
I think she's like- the complete opposite of me!
She's like-
super– explosive,
and short. [laughs]
HALIMA: First of all..
GUNH!
My- I could never,
I could NEVER.
I love this moment where I was like,
"Dang, she got a- flexible spine."
She hit this wrap..
And she was like,
"GEE!"
And then she had this level of like-
that- was crazy.
It was powerful because she, herself,
is powerful in her voice and her influence to inspire so many people.
I want to be like Sorah one dayyyy~
Wooww~!
