(dynamic music)
- I'm a little nervous.
I think there's a huge pressure
now that they've started to make cuts.
I'm sure all of us are feeling that.
- Hi ladies.
We're starting week
three of training camp.
And we have seven more cuts
to make for the final roster.
Tonight could be a cut night.
We're doing something that
we've never done before.
We have two choreographers that are gonna
come in tonight in two
totally different genres.
One is contemporary/ballet,
and the other's gonna be hip-hop.
- So I am not a hip-hop dancer.
It's not my forte.
But all you can do is try your best.
- I don't like it when somebody says,
oh I don't do that, that's not my style.
Well we're looking for performers.
I think this will reveal some things.
We'll be able to tell the most
diverse dancers in the room.
We'll be able to tell the
smart dancers in the room.
So please welcome Bree Hafen.
(cheering and clapping)
(upbeat music)
Bree is a contemporary
ballet-based choreographer.
She was on So You Think You Can Dance.
And she performed with
the Odyssey Dance Theater.
- I really jive well with the girls.
We have a great relationship.
I love to teach and I
love working with DCC.
Tonight I'm gonna be teaching
a kind of funky contemporary.
You walk, one, two, three, pop.
Four, five, six.
It's got a little bit of sass to it,
a little bit of sultriness to it.
Pull, two, three.
Four, five, yeah.
And it's very difficult
from a stylized perspective.
You're gonna rond de
jambe one, two, three.
Give me a huge flick, four, five, six.
- I think this choreography
is so much fun.
It's a little different
from what we normally do,
but it's so much fun to
try out some new styles.
- [Bree] Four, five, six.
And that is it, my loves.
- Okay, group one.
Let's see what you got.
♪ Shut your mouth, baby,
stand and deliver ♪
♪ Holy hands, will they
make me a sinner? ♪
♪ Like a river ♪
♪ Like a river ♪
♪ Shut your mouth and

- I'm gonna give them the
opportunity to improv,
meaning they get to come up with
their own choreography on the spot.
For dancers who haven't
done a lot of improv
it can be extremely awkward.
♪ Like a river ♪

- Oh, oh, watch out!
- I'm on the floor improving,
Alexandria's up improving,
and she kinda leaps right over my head.
It was fine, we didn't
crash, but we almost did.
- Every second is an audition.
You're onstage at all times.
Don't hold back.
Group two, here we go!
♪ Shut your mouth, baby,
stand and deliver ♪
♪ Holy hands ♪
- I like Savannah on this, Judy.
♪ Like a river, like a river ♪
♪ Shut your mouth and
run me like a river ♪
- My strategy's definitely
go out there and own it.
I wanna show them that
I'm a strong performer.
I mean, it's 90% mental, right?
- Watch Bren and see if she...
- If she can breath?
Brennan went for it the best
she could do in the improv.
But it was very uncomfortable to watch.
♪ Run me like a river ♪
- Now Keith Green and his
assistant are joining us
and they are gonna shake
it up a little bit.
They're gonna be teaching
a hip-hop routine.
- How y'all doing?
Anytime I get to work with
DCC it's always a pleasure,
everybody's always so nice and inviting.
If you are not a hip-hopper
you are officially gonna become one today.
Here we go.
You're going over, it goes out.
From here, boom, to take you in.
When I teach I really try
to teach at a faster pace.
And gak gak, boom, here.
And then that allows Kelli
and Judy to kinda see
who are those standouts
who are able to pick-up
choreography quicker than the
others, and retain it as well.
Ta, ta, ta, ha, hip, bam.
Five, six, bring it.
Jump, hip, boom.
- Keith's hip-hop routine really tripped
a few of the girls up tonight.
- Kick, ball change, bounce, bounce.
Hit, go.
- This choreography is
fast, he's teaching it fast.
It's very intricate, very detailed.
So it's very hard to pick up.
- Group one.

- So Linda, they really
didn't notice her tonight.
She was just one of
those dancers that just
really didn't stand out as much.
It was a little bit disappointing.
- I just don't know what
I think about Madeline.
She kinda make me laugh.
Madeline's on the fence for me.
She has moments where she's fun, spunky.
She also has moments where she's just
giving you an average look and show.

- Keith, choreographer's
choice in this bunch?
- You, yourself.
I'm not gonna call you Kyra,
I think Key-Rah is more, is more hip-hop.
You have those cool moments.
So now I think your goal should be
to try to manipulate those cool moments
all the way through.
- Next group.

- She was serious about it.
Haters!
- Yeah she was.
(laughing)
Bree, who did you notice
with Keith's choreography?
- Brennan, to me it just looked like
you're thinking too hard.
Let yourself go a little bit mentally
so it doesn't come off as stressed.
- I have to say this, Brianna.
So I kinda heard you are just
mainly contemporary trained
and never really done hip-hop.
It's really cool as a
teacher and choreographer
to see somebody put there
selves in a vulnerable position
and really go for it.
I really respect that.
I really, really do, yeah.
(clapping and cheering)
- Tonight I just upped my bucket,
and Keith really helped
my confidence as well.
- You can tell you're both
passionate about your students.
And I appreciate that,
and I know they do too.
So thank you.
- Thanks for having me.
