"Dance" Choreographers Brings Back To Las Vegas
Do not let this kind of spooky "Black Swan" fool you. Get a dancer to do what you want is hard work. But getting a group together to do something? It's like herding cats - cat really amazing jumped on Red Bull and dreams.
All 115 of them who had passed the first round of "So You Think You Can Dance" Las Vegas on April 8 at the Planet Hollywood Resort reminders - the episode airs at 20 pm on Wednesday at KVVU-TV, Channel 5 - n 't the same file in the historic theater, which requires a second exit for the cameras.
And with all styles are represented, ballrooms with the brutality of the streets, coming up the choreography that anyone can handle, monitoring should be something like "We Are the World" - without having to wonder what Dan Aykroyd is there.
There, at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas graduates enter UMO Napoleon and Tabitha D'
"We have little time. We want to be able to do so they can understand and do the best they can," says Tabitha, just before the stage. "But at the same time is a test. So you also have to mention them enough that you can distinguish good from evil, because it really takes only the strong survive."
The duo met with applause from the real candidate when they are established choreographers surprise that even if Napoleon later admitted he is not sure how his arrival was unexpected, given that have been the "surprise" for five Vegas rounds right choreographers.
But the answer is an indication of how hot a couple of Nappytabs has become known in recent years, the credits ever, "So You Think You Can Dance" and MTV's "America's Best Dance Crew" and the Emmy for "Viva Elvis" JabbaWockeeZ and showcase "MUS.IC 'is the. Strip proposal for Google, even the ranks of "Napoleon and Tabitha" to "Napoleon and Josephine."
"We did it because we loved it, and it was something for recreation, we have shared together," says Tabitha of his career in dance began in earnest when he worked in public relations and implementation River Napoleon was in medical school.
"And fortunately, it only reflects. And one thing led to another, which led to another and before long we were like, 'Wow, we both have our degrees. Maybe we should take away a year and see where this goes . 'Do not anticipate, you know, 15 years later we would be where we are. "
During the 90 minutes allocated to the choreography, the duo breaks the routine hip-hop, set by Chris Brown "Look at Me Now", must be easily digestible nuggets like "The Matrix", a slow, even rap, Busta Rhymes' is more fast (mostly) understand.
Wearing green Nikes with red laces and a T-shirt clothing line Nappytabs, Napoleon took the lead as the dancers scattered seven or eight deep along the entire width of the stage. Part taskmaster, part cheerleader, he is there to keep the crowd at once loose and worn in the middle of a long exhausting day.
Found that young people are outnumbered when it comes to choosing partners, he says, "Boy, you're going to double the girls." Seeing double effect, adds a playful "Are you in Las Vegas," which leads to knowing laughter.
New initiatives are marked with slogans. "Easy?" Breezy. " "Nice like rice."
And two similar situations and described in "Takin 'a wee in the woods" and "Takin' dump in the woods."
On the surface, 90 minutes seems an eternity to teach something that could last all of 30 seconds. And slowly taken individually, none of the movements that seem difficult. But even experienced dancers breath the first time they see a part of the dance is performed in real time.
As the dancers and the jockey room cramped stage, the camera men bob and weave around in pairs. "It 's a television program, not a dance competition," Napoleon says to them, suggesting that if they can not cope with the cameras, which should go home and become a local competition.
Tabitha, which is given as Liz Lemon is a young sister Streetwise, women take part, stressed the importance of connecting with their partners and describes a difficult part of the routine - "like Dougie, but with a musical" - in a way even a layman can understand.
Later, during the one-hour break during which the dancers are told to eat a meal before returning to work to keep out Napoleon and Tabitha thought about a career that keeps bringing them back in Las Vegas.
"Lately it seems that we have been here more than back when we lived here," said Napoleon. "Among the shows of Cirque and JabbaWockeeZ, it seems that we are always here."
This time, however, are only briefly in the city, as they are about to run to Toronto to work on a film in 3-D with "Dancing with the Stars" champion Derek Hough. But as choreography by every available means that I will not name a favorite.
"I think what we like so much is that never do the same," said Tabitha. "Every week, it could be a television in a live setting, and it is always exciting and always challenging us differently, because I really can not choreograph the same way that for each project."
"For us, we could be sitting in an office, I suppose," Reasons of Napoleon, "to be able to do many things involving the whole dance is a blessing. It's working."
And with it, it's time to leave.
It's getting late, though the dancers were still miles to go before I sleep.
And no food in sight, they spread through the hall, practice their moves.
Fabulous Cats expect a pastor.
