Welcome to the Wild Stylz dance convention.
Today is the wild card competition
for a spot at Regionals!
Today is the second day
of the Wild Stylz dance convention.
Not only is it Leon Blackwood's workshop,
but it's also the solo competition.
'Cause of The Next Step, she was kind of in,
in the back and in the dark...
(Taveeta) Sorry, sorry.
It's okay!
(door banging)
(Taveeta struggles to close the door)
(Crew) That's good enough, that's good enough!
It's good enough...
Oh my g...
(more banging)
There.
(Shelby) Um...
It was a really fun episode to film.
I got to dress up
and getting to dance and do a solo,
it felt so good to have all those people
and everyone was just cheering and...
It felt really really good.
- We're gonna do it again.
- (Sage) I'm really nervous.
Oh my gosh, don't be!
It was—honestly, I love this kind of stuff, 'cause
I mean, it's kind of a special occasion,
we're dressed up, we got some make-up on.
- Yeah.
- We're gonna dance a little bit!
( ♪ "Fire with Fire" ♪ )
I wanted to cheer for her, but I forgot I couldn't.
- (Katie) I was like...
- (Sage) We're not supposed to be friends.
My first run was such a disaster.
That one was better though, right?
I'm not gonna say... (chuckles)
It was like your body was sleeping,
but your face was going:
"Keep up with me, body! I can do this!"
My mind gets all weird
when I know I'm on camera!
I know! I thought you guys were gonna be like
- "'Kay, that was bad enough that we can restart."
- (Katie) The dances were good!
When I know I'm on camera, I like wig out.
So it takes a couple times, but we got it.
Right now, we're setting up for convention.
Piper and I will be working the info desk today
(laughing) Hey!
Ten minutes into this whole thing, and he's
already messed up the decorations, so...
(unintelligible)
Friends.
( ♪ "Fire with Fire" ♪ )
- (Liam) Here with Pipes, just finished our four scenes.
- (Alex C) Hey! We just finished our scenes of the desk.
On the info desk at convention day!
TNS, I think we did a pretty sick job to be honest.
(Alex C) Yeah, like I mean... you really messed up
everything on the desk, but hey.
You know, whatever. You know, I was just
being Finn, and being Finn is what I do best.
That concludes our day at convention, we will, um...
Thanks for tuning in and we'll, uh...
we'll catch you guys later.
- (Alex C) We're out.
- (Liam) See you later.
- (Berkeley) You look like a bean.
- I do?
(girls laugh)
Do I look like a bean?!
I'm very unimpressed right now.
Do I look like a bean?
(Leon Blackwood talking to the beat)
(Leon) Alright, take 5 y'all, good job.
(loudly) I'm thinking Davis as a replacement for Amy.
(Director) Hey Alex, thanks for the volume there.
Oh no problem, just yelling. (giggles)
The convention episode was really fun to film, because I've definitely been in those situations before.
I'm that typical convention dancer, and everyone has seen one of those at a dance convention.
Where like I'm at a convention and like, everyone's trying to push their way to the front. So like—
My mom was always like
'GET TO THE FRONT, GET TO THE FRONT'.
- (Leon) You.
- (Jacquie) Me?
- (Leon) The blonde one.
- (dancers applaud)
Alright, these are your five. Let's go, yeah?
(Director) Alright, let's reset.
Yo, she goes:
(dramatic music)
(Briar) We're super close friends,
but we're also very competitive.
Like Dylan's character is probably the closest
to Richelle as a friend this season.
(Briar) "What light are you shining in now, Jacquie?"
(Berkeley giggling in shock)
Having my sister behind me, like trying to do that,
and like trying to block her was like really fun.
(Dylan) I wasn't—it was more like my mom
just telling me get to the front, and like I was like,
no, I can't do this, like, I'm gonna stay in the back.
But I mean, I never like pushed people out the way, like I got pushed...
well, like, I didn't like that so
I never would do that to anyone.
But this is a dance convention,
(speech fades quieter)
Leon Blackwood's an amazing teacher,
being in his class was an honour.
This kinda comes back around because in season 5
she wasn't able to dance with Leon. Amy took her spot.
So this year, it's like okay, now she's back and Leon chose her, so it all kind of worked out in the end.
And, she didn't even want it!
She was just dancing for herself.
Getting to work with him, like one-on-one and like,
him giving me feedback was just so cool.
That experience, like, he's such an amazing teacher.
There was so much good talent around me.
It's always a pleasure learning from my peers and I get inspired by everybody around me. It's great.
(Dylan) What is your favourite TNS song?
"Work".
(Girls sing "Work" in unison)
(Dylan laughs) That camerawork, though!
Dylan needs a new job!
What is your favourite scene?
Anything I'm in, am I right?
(Dylan silent; Emmerly laughs)
