-Your body is the language
when you have no words for it.
-We're all born with this gift to literally express
ourself with music.
-We feel so good.
I'm Tanisha Scott, choreographer and dancer.
I'm on the Universal back lot to meet Les Twins,
starring in the new movie "Cats."
Known for their innovative blend of hip hop dancing,
they've inspired a world of dancers
with their incomparable movements and viral videos.
Larry, Laurent!
Oh my god!
How are you?
Nice to see you again.
So tell me from the very beginning.
Your journey, like, when did you guys
fall in love with dance?
Our life was not that easy at the beginning,
so we learned how to deal with a lot of different situations
and our bodies, when we're dancing, make me express
everything I was going through.
How does that reflect in your dance since
there's so many different cultures?
In Paris, there's this melting pot that we have.
It is beautiful.
But in my 'hood, it's not good area to go,
but when you're there, somehow you're safe.
Now explain to me twin style.
It's cartoon.
I would say I would put- Yes, okay.
Like some cartoons a little bit.
Some baby moves and some ridiculous movement.
So the biggest thing.
Y'all are in Cats.
Oh my god.
Let's dance!
I think this is one of the biggest casts
of like dancers from all different styles.
So we have ballet.
You have tap, jazz,
modern, hip hop. Oh my god.
I'm a hip hop dancer and I'm in Cats.
I've gotta sing, act, dance and be a cat.
I love it.
You know what it is to be at work without
feel like you're at work?
We have the main characters, they're like really high-level
ballet dancers, plus the tap dancers over there,
plus Les Twins, plus Jason Derulo,
Taylor Swift, and Rebel.
It's beautiful to see Frankie dance.
She's a flower.
To see Robbie just moving and his body's amazing.
Idris Elba looking at me like, "I got you, bro".
They just inspire me to do better for them.
Got it.
Tell us about the characters.
If you guys have similarities.
Socrates and Plato.
Are they like twins?
Yeah, they are twins.
It's a story of one follow the other all the time.
And we help like one new member to become a Jellicle cat
Okay. But we had to be a badass.
But sometimes, like, we so clumsy.
It's great about you guys are storytellers first.
And the movement comes from it.
When people see this movie, what do you want them
to get from it and see in you guys?
Cats now, is a part of my life.
I want to be someone's favorite.
So, you gotta talk to me
about what you're gonna show me today.
I want your mind open,
literally, to become a cat. Okay.
Like you have to make him believe
you literally a cat right now.
If he believes, the audience will believe it.
Yes, I'm a feline right here.
I'm ready.
So let's go to step one.
Step one, okay.
We're going to go boom, boom.
Boom, boom.
And now.
Pa pah!
So step one is a whole like eight count.
So it's not only
just one step. It's a whole eight count.
Damn, you guys did a lot!
It's boom, boom.
Boom, boom.
Ba ba.
Oh, and then move back.

Well, besides you guys and your energy.

And you do whatever you want.
And now you walk and it's done.
