01x06 - Episode 6

Post by bunniefuu »

[Ally] Seventy-five dancers
have voted so far.

Brandi has secured her place in the final.

But with Max's 25 dancers still to vote,

the second spot is still up for grabs.

Max's dancers, make your move now.

[audience cheering]

[audience groaning]

[audience cheering]

Max and Celine.

I'm sorry, but you have the least amount
of votes from the Dance 100

and therefore will be going home.

Keenan and Brandi, you are our finalists!

[audience cheering]

Max, I want to speak to you first.

When you started this,
what did you want to achieve?

I just wanted to have some fun. That's it.

[all cheering]

Hats off, man. Like, congratulations,
Brandi, Keenan, Celine.

We did it.

[audience cheering]

Celine, how does it feel
to get this close to the final?

I'm sad because I feel like
I have so much more to give,

but maybe what I have to give
can't be contained in this space,

but I'm fine with that.

[audience cheering]

Well, thank you, Max and Celine.

You have been amazing

and thank you for everything
that you've brought here

and what we've seen on
and definitely off stage.

Y'all, let's give it up one last time
for Max and Celine!

[all cheering]

♪ Oh, no, I'll never let go ♪

♪ Can't drop my feelings from me
Into this hole ♪


♪ Oh, no, I'll never let go ♪

♪ There's no way back for me
Only one way to go ♪


♪ Always one small step
One more step… ♪


The best part of this for me
has been getting to do what I love,

and it doesn't get better
than that, you know?

I love my pieces. I stayed true to myself.

Yeah, no, I wouldn't change
a single thing. Nothing.

It's hard for me to not get emotional,
but these are not just sad tears.

You know, they're tears of revelation.
They're tears of relief.

I'm extremely proud of myself.

♪ So I'm not gonna give up now ♪

It's a competition, and sadly,

while two people had to leave,
we do have our two finalists.

Please give it up for Keenan and Brandi!

[loud cheering]

Your final challenge
will be a double-double.

Two routines. One with 50
and one with the entire Dance 100.

[audience cheering]

Good luck.

Don't clap for that!

Y'all like, "Whoa!" You do it!

[all laughing]

Once again, congratulations
on making it to the final!

- [squealing]
- Please give it up for our Dance 100

and our finalists, Keenan and Brandi!

[loud cheering]

♪ Who am I gonna be
When you set me free? ♪


[Ally] And now, only two remain.

{\an8}They've seen off the others.

Akira, you have
the lowest amount of votes.

Rex and Rudy both will be leaving
this competition.

Janick…

♪ Burn like a wildfire ♪

Max and Celine will be going home.

Now it's the finale.

Only one can take away $100,000.

[Keenan]
The competition just got real, baby.

I'll do anything to win.

I'm showing everything that I can do.

Whatever it take. Give me my money.

[Brandi] I've left blood, sweat, and tears
in this competition

and it's time to just put it all out
on the stage one last time.

If I win this competition, it's going
to change my life forever.

[Ally] First, they must create
their finest routines

for all of our Dance 100.

May the best choreographer win.

[audience cheering]

♪ Mission ♪

♪ I'm the man in the arena ♪

This is it! The finale of Dance 100!

From our original eight choreographers,
just two remain, Keenan and Brandi.

Tonight, we'll see our finalists face
their hardest challenges yet.

Choreographing a massive routine
with 50 dancers

and one final epic performance

that features every single one
of our Dance 100.

[audience cheering]

Are you ready to dance?

[audience cheering]

Here to kick us off, it's Keenan.

$100,000 is on the line.
So we gonna go out and k*ll it.

We gonna make this thing happen.

[Ally] Hey. Congratulations on making it
to the final.

You're just two dances away from $100,000.

Ha!

For your first performance,
you'll be choreographing with 50 dancers


and you'll be doing it to this song.

I absolutely know this song.
I think everybody does.

For my performance with 50 dancers,
I might go in a different direction

from what people would expect.

I wanted to add some grunge.
I wanted it to be a little dark.

I like it.

Before you go, there's one last message,

but it isn't from me.

Okay.

Hello, son. It's your mother.

Oh, my goodness.
You made it to the finals.


Oh, my God.

Congratulations, I'm so proud of you.

I knew you can do it,
with all the hard work you put in.


I knew you could make it.

I love you and I know you're going
to make it to the top, baby.


I'm so proud of you.

- [squeals]
- [chuckles softly]

Oh!

Wasn't expecting that sh*t.

[chuckles]

I love her. She's awesome.

{\an8}It's the finals!

[dancers cheering]

Being in the finals is amazing.

With 50 dancers just doesn't compare
to anything that I've ever done.

There's a lot of them. [Chuckles]

But I'm really smart
in the way that I work.

So I think I can figure this thing out.

I have this name
that I've been dubbed, "Kleenan,"

but I got read last week
for being too clean

because I want to make sure this has
that grungy, dirty essence in it,

- just to shut up everybody who said that.
- [dancers laugh]

I want it to feel a bit more aggressive,
so that cleanliness may not be there.

So I'm a little uncomfortable,
but I think we gotta rock with that.

So, let's go from the top!

♪ What they talkin' 'bout?
Clean, we're not walkin' now ♪


I feel the Dance 100 will be
surprised on my take.

Go!

[scatting]

I feel the vibe is really street,

but I wanted it to feel
the opposite of who I am.


Again, make sure this.

Hey, hey.

This is what you should be
practicing together.

The song I have is Rick Ross, "Hustlin'."

The song is so known,
you have to elevate it

and you have to make people still love it

and hope that you didn't k*ll it,
like, in a bad way.

I want it to feel massive.

I want smoke.

I want to come up from a riser.

I've been waiting for my solo a long time.

I just want it to feel
so larger than life.

{\an8}Keenan is absolutely k*lling it.

That coming up from the toaster? Iconic.

- Gag.
- Gag!

- Absolute gag!
- Gag!

Ladies, try to get your feet on the bars,

but don't get your foot stuck.

There it is. There it is. Yeah, yeah.

[Prabhleen]
I definitely need more practice.

If I miss my foot off this thing,
I'm done.

Make sure we get it, like, here.
Yeah, let me see the next three.

The girls twerking on the fence is a risk,
but I think that it's worth taking

because this is for $100,000.

♪ w*r, w*r, w*r ♪

♪ This ain't a game
This ain't a game ♪


♪ This ain't a game
This is w*r ♪


Feel like what we've done is amazing.

I appreciate and love every one of y'all.

And this is not bullshit for the cameras.

Y'all are making my dreams come true.

- [audience cheering]

[Ally] Oh, my goodness.

Keenan!

Wow! Audience, did you love it?

[audience cheering]

How do you feel in this moment?

Man, I'm just a little Black boy
from Boston,

like, this is crazy to me.

The world has showed us so many times
that people like me, who look like me

aren't supposed to be here, and I'm here.

- [audience cheering]
- Like…

And that's crazy. It's crazy.

But I've worked to get here,
so it just feels so good

to be here amongst
all of this, it really does.

[audience cheering]

Remember when they're not dancing,
they're judging.

Let's see what they thought
of the first performance.

Let's throw it up
to the rest of the Dance 100.

Antony, did you see what you wanted
to see from a finalist?

It was so dope.
I loved everything about it.

Like, it was so dope. The energy,
crazy, kept it there. Amazing.

Just one little thing,
and this is just me being me,

like, I'd like to see
a bit more stuff with the cages.

Like, bits of tricks or whatever.

Just use the dancers more!
Yeah! You k*lled it.

[audience cheering]

Sophie Zapp, you're up there clapping.

You know there's $100,000 on the line.

Did this make you want
to give Keenan some cash?

It did, it did.

{\an8}I said this before, but you deliver
every week, Keenan. You really do.

[audience cheering]

Yeah, you really did that, and I think
it was a great use of the stage.

Great use of the prop.

Clean, and dynamic, and effective,
and smart as always, but…

This is the finale and I think,

compared to all the performances
I've seen you do,

it's playing it a bit safe at this point.

[audience exclaiming]

I did what was smart.

I did what was effective for them
and what would look good.

So I take the feedback 100%,

- but also, I had to be smart.
- [audience cheering]

You know what I'm saying? I did.

Thank you.

You can hear the audience loved it. So…

Well, thank you to our Dance 100, y'all.

Job well done, Keenan.
You smashed it with 50 dancers.

Now you're going to be doing it
with 100 dancers.

Take a break and prep.
Y'all give it up one more time for Keenan!

[audience cheering]

I feel like I'm unpopular now.

No, not at all, it's fine.

Was it too much?

I felt like the faces I got from some
of the dancers was like…

It was fire. They had lanterns. I came
out of a toaster. They was on gates.

People's arms is cut up
don't sound safe to me.

[laughs]

I took everything that people said
about it being too clean.

I wanted to dirty it up a bit.

I wanted to create an atmosphere,
like I always do.

Audience loved it. Response was great.

I am so happy, so happy.

[audience cheering]

With 100K on the line,
the sky's the limit.

Performing with 50 dancers, it's Brandi.

[audience cheering]

[squeals] I can't wait for people to see.

{\an8}[Ally] Brandi, congratulations
on making it to the final.

Just two performances stand between you

and that $100,000 bag.

Come on.

And this is your first song.

Oh…

This is funky. I like this.

Hearing this track,
I'm immediately obsessed with it.

It makes me want to just freestyle
and jam out.

This makes me want to just jump.

I feel like we can make
some really nice visuals,

especially now that there's 50 of them,

I cannot wait to just
make some magic happen.

Come on.

Hold up. You're not done yet.

You've got one more surprise,
and I think you'll want to hear this.


Hi, Brandi, it's Mom here.

[gasps] Oh, my God.

Congratulations on making the final.
I'm so excited for you.


- The family is proud of you in Hawaii.
- Aw! I'm going to cry.

We realize what a wonderful opportunity
this has been for you.


- Yeah.
- Good luck! Talk to you later.

- Damn. Love you, Mom.
- Love you very much. Bye.

She's supported me
literally through everything.

I f*cking love her. Thank you for that.
That was amazing. That made me cry.

{\an8}♪ Wake up and find me ♪

Welcome to the finals, baby.

This commanding the room,
it's going to be difficult, I think.

There's 50 pairs of eyes looking
at you, like, "Where you want us to go?"

The vibe is sort of like…

You know when you're in the club
singing your favorite song to friends?

Just keeping it escalating
is a lot of pressure, you know?

And then we kind of have a sobering moment
where everybody's like,

"Okay the sun's probably out right now.
I need to go home".

[laughter]

People are like,
"I'm expecting greatness". I'm like,

"Hopefully. Me, too. I don't know
what's going to come out of me,

"but fingers crossed." I stay true to me.

Jump, one, two, three…

You're with 50 dancers, it takes longer
than it has in the past,

so obviously the pressure of it

being the last two performances is there,

but I just gotta keep pushing
with this piece and get this visual going.

Hopefully it'll all come together. [Sighs]

The start of this is going to be
a big Kabuki curtain,

and it's going to be me,
Reece and Raph, our silhouettes.

I want to see
how the Kabuki curtain's going to look.

Either confirm, "Yes, it looks good," or,
"sh*t. We gotta finesse it."

Nicole, can you actually
step closer to the curtain?

Watch out.

- Oh!
- [dancer squeals]

- That's why I said move! Oh, my…
- Oh, my God!

Honestly, it nearly took me with it.
Oh, my God.

I'm feeling shaken up from it.

I don't want to think
that's going to happen on the night,

but if it happened then,
then you never know.

[Brandi] I think you guys
are super-talented.

I really mean it when I'm, like,
"Fans of all of you".

And I'm ready for us to go out there,
perform the sh*t out of it because…

Whoo! All the emotions are coming out.

[cheering and laughter]

A little nervous, but ready
to get out there and smash it.

[Ally] Yes! Y'all, keep it going
for Brandi and her dancers!

Brandi. Brandi. Brandi. Brandi.

You had seven dancers to start.
Now, you have 50 on this stage.

How has it been?

Honestly, it's been freaking amazing.
They are awesome.

So, let's talk about the creative process.

Talk me through it.

Well, I just wanted it to feel like,
could be an award show performance,

and I just wanted to show off their lines
and their talent,

and I wanted everybody to look good.
And don't they look amazing?

- [audience cheering]
- [Ally] Yes, they do!

It's time to throw it to the people
who have your destiny in their hands.

- My Dance 100, hiya!
- [dancers] Hi!

Lily, what did you make of the movement
and transitions?

Brandi. Brandi. Brandi.

The fact that you can take
the short amount of time you're given,

and find out the versatility
of all your dancers,

and what the strengths are,
from technique, to popping, to breaking.

I truly appreciate you,
and I think you're a genius with that.

My one note, I have to say,

in the very beginning,
I wanted a little more silhouette,

but I get it, you're in the final,

still making us want more,
so I appreciate that.

[audience cheering]

Cece, give us your two cents.

I honestly thought it was phenomenal.

That song is really close to my heart.

I've listened to it a thousand times,

and I love the individuality of everyone.

They just kept moving,
it kept going, kept flowing.

And also, the drama,
Shaquille and the glitter.

How can you end it like that?

Shaquille!

I love a bit of drama.

Thank you, Cece. Thanks to the Dance 100

and, of course, Brandi. You did
a great job with 50, but guess what?

You're gonna have to do that again
with 100.

Y'all, make some noise
once again for Brandi!

[audience cheering]

[Brandi] I'm happy how it turned out.

Everybody performed to the best
of their abilities,

that's all I could ask.

[chanting] Brandi! Brandi! Brandi!

[Ally] In this competition, we saw
six other fantastic choreographers

travel from far and wide
to showcase their amazing talents,

and returning to the stage
for one last dance, our choreographers.

[audience cheering]

[Ally] Oh, my goodness! Y'all, keep it
going for our choreographers!

Wow! Wow, wow. So much love.

Max, this is the finale. What do you think
of what you've seen so far?

I love it. We all love Brandi and Keenan,

and it's so exciting to see

what they're bringing
for this last episode.

They're giving it their everything,
so props to them.

Y'all, give it up one last time
for our choreographers.

[audience cheering]

All right, our finalists
are about to throw down

with the biggest challenge of the season,

to perform with all 100 of the Dance 100.

[audience cheering]

Let's give it up for Keenan.

[Keenan] Last performance
of this whole competition,

and I feel good.
I feel excited. I feel accomplished.

I feel like I've done everything
that I wanted to do and needed to do,

so let's get it.

{\an8}Oh, my goodness!

It just keeps going, and it keeps going,
and it keeps going.

When you see everyone, 100 people,
it's so overwhelming.

This is wild.

The hardest part about such a large number
is you want to make sure it's cohesive.

You want to make sure it fits,
so that will be a lot of work.

I'm so excited to be here at the finale.
It's the finals. We here.

[all cheering]

In terms of the creative, it's finals.
You gotta go big, baby.

I just want to create this big,
fun moment.

It feels like the ending number
at an award show, ending number of a tour.

I want it to feel like the biggest party
you've ever been to.

♪ We make, we create ♪

There's one of me working with 100 people.

It's probably the hardest thing
I've ever done.

Who the hell makes one person choreograph
for 100 people? You guys are sick!

Can everybody get through this?

What is nerve-wracking is knowing that
these are the people that are judging you.

Every move you make. Every step you do.
Every transition, they're looking at it,

so you got to be on your P's and Q's.

Everybody, just move their spot
back one step.

- The piece is amazing.
- Yeah.

[Ella] I love all the moves in this piece.

{\an8}I would have liked
to have been on earlier.

- I'm only coming in on the end.
- Yeah.

- Hard to use 100 people.
- Yeah.

It would have been nice if all 100 dancers
were used, rather than only some.

In the back, are you guys
super close to the wall at all?

{\an8}We literally just stay on the top balcony
the whole time.

{\an8}We don't have any transitions.

This is a challenge, 100 dancers,

- they're not all being used.
- [Joseph] Right.

We'll have to see
when it's all said and done.

- Agreed.
- Yeah.

[Keenan] On the inside,
I'm overwhelmed. I'm freaking out.

I want to cry,
but there is no time for that.

These lights, my eyes, I'm going to die.

However, I'm feeling I'm using it

to drive me to do this,
so I can get that money.

It's the finale. How y'all feeling?

[all cheering]

This has been the most stressful thing
I've ever done.

Now it's time to have a good time
and bring the audience into this party.

I'm ready for a good time.
Let's do this sh*t.

[audience cheering]

Performing for the final time
to "Let Them Know," it's Keenan.

[chanting] Keenan! Keenan! Keenan!

Keenan, that was
your final dance of the competition.

How was it?

Crazy! [Laughs]

[audience cheering]

Like, I just can't even believe it.
Like, I'm just so happy.

One hundred dancers. Have you ever done
something of this magnitude before?

Hell no. [Laughs]

This is not normal.

No, I haven't. I've never worked
with 100 dancers before.

This was the first time.

It was absolutely insane,
but I'm so happy with the final product.

[audience cheering]

Chani!

Yo, Chani!

Chani, how was it
working with Keenan for the final time?

Honestly, always an honor.

It's just… He's so inspirational.

Like literally, it's insane.

You got us all clean like Kleenan does.

[audience cheering]

Chanelle, was this performance
worth $100,000?



It's been a dream working with you.

His energy is everything,
and I wish you all the best,

and I'm happy to be
on this journey with you.

Well, Keenan and our Dance 100
tore up the stage.

Keenan, you've done all you can do,

and very soon, we will be announcing
the winner of Dance 100.

So on that note,
y'all give it up one last time for Keenan!

[audience cheering]

I'm done!

- Yes!
- Good job, Keenan!

This is the final performance.
I'm so happy with the outcome.

Thank you guys, we did it.
Audience loved it.

Vibes were great. I couldn't ask for more.

[audience cheering]

In the semi-finals,
Brandi managed to get votes

from over half of the Dance 100.

But will she be able
to work her magic on the rest of them?

[audience cheering]

I think if we just do it
how we've been doing it in rehearsals,

it's a winning piece. I think.

What up, y'all?

[all cheering]

I am so excited to work with you guys.

I have never choreographed
for 100 people before,

and not even close.

Oh, my gosh, I am a little overwhelmed.

It's going to be hard,

but excited to just start
getting it out of my brain

and onto these dancers.

- You ready?
- I'm ready.

Yeah, I will not be broken ♪


One hundred dancers is a lot of bodies.

When there was less of us,
it needed to be more switching around,

more intricate details
so that it's visually pleasing,

but having 100 dancers just do
the same step is already so effective.

We're making a lot of lines,

but stacking, so right behind one another.

{\an8}Seemed like she's under control.

{\an8}I love her little notebook.

Yeah. She's like... It's so wild.

It's so…

Do you know she goes on Instagram,
and sees what everyone's good at?

[Jamal] That's smart.

I think every choreographer
should have done that.

This is the biggest performance
of this whole competition.

It's stressful because I think
it'll be hard for the dancers to choose,

because now they will have worked
with both me and Keenan.

There is no loyalty.

Oh, my God.

Let me see what this looks like.

We go… [vocalizing]

For the Dance 100 performance,

I'm going to show a different side to me
that they have never seen before.

Ooh, I'm nervous about these!

There's going to just be
little pockets of craziness,

and then it's just going to open up

and there's just going to be 100 dancers
doing this crazy choreo.

I really like Brandi's choreo,
but I'm also just not sure

if I like it because I like the song.

I'm kind of, like, torn.

Really?

Blow! Blow!

[Brandi] I have all the resources:
A hundred dancers, a banger.

Like, we got to go off.

It's just mind-blowing
that we're at the finals.

We're finally here.

This could be
the most important performance of my life.

I gotta go all out, baby.

[audience cheering]

Dancing for the final time
with all 100 of the Dance 100,

y'all, give it up for Brandi.

[audience cheering]

- [song ends]
- [audience cheering]

[Ally] And the crowd is going crazy!

Wow!

Brandi! Dance 100!

What does it mean to you to be a finalist?

It means the world because I never thought
this little girl would be doing this,

sharing my vision of my creativity

on a platform and a stage like this
with talented dancers.

So I just feel very blessed.

- All right.
- [audience cheering]

Let's talk to some dancers.

Shaquille.

[Shaquille] Sis, what I want to say is,

what you deliver here,
how you look after your dancers,

how you come prepared,
and how you come to slay,

is what I want to see.

You're such a beautiful human being.

[audience cheering]

Robbie.

It's about the cash, $100,000 on the line.

Was this performance worth $100,000?

I mean, yeah.

[audience cheering]

The choreography is complex. It's musical.

The musicality and rhythms
aren't predictable at all.

One thing about Brandi, you never know
what she's going to come through with.

To end it on a piece like this,

it's just brilliant, and such a great way
to end our experience on this show.

And what a journey it has been.
Thank you, Robbie.

And thank you to the Dance 100.

Brandi, we are nearly there.

In just a few moments, we'll find out

if you've done enough to win $100,000.

Y'all, give it up
one more time for Brandi!

[audience cheering]

[Brandi] I left it all out there.

I think I could not have done
anything more,

but I feel like we hit it
right on the money,

and it was expl*sive!

All right, y'all, it is now time
to bring back our Dance 100 finalists.

[audience cheering]

Keenan!

[Keenan] Being here, in this competition,
means everything to me.

I feel like it's a chance
to show people "Keenan,"


and not just the artist,
but like Keenan, the person.


And the audience
is going crazy for you, Keenan.

So to have people that believe in me,
so fly, like it's amazing.

[scatting]

Y'all know this performance's
gonna get me in the finals, right?

Y'all ready to have a good time?

I got goosebumps, I loved it.
It was great.

And Brandi!

[Brandi] I can't believe I am here.

[Ally] Talk about
taking it to the next level.

If I win this competition,
it will be just mind-blowing.

I'm stressed. I'm stressed.

It's getting tougher.

[dancer] You've created a monster.

No, he created it himself!
I just gave him the space.

- Let's just give 'em a show, y'all.
- Yeah!

Winning the $100,000 would take my career
off to a whole other level.

[audience cheering]

Well, congratulations
to both of you for getting to this stage.

You have come so far,
and we appreciate all you've done.

It is now time to vote.

[audience exclaiming]

Dance 100, you have the power

to change one
of these choreographers' lives forever.

Keenan and Brandi, you've left your hearts
and souls out there on the stage,

but your fates are now in the hands,

and feet,
of the very people you've worked with.

Only one of you can be crowned the winner
and win $100,000.

[audience cheering]

[exhales]

This is it.

In a moment,
I'm going to ask the Dance 100

to make their final move
of the competition,

and stand behind
the person that they think

deserves to win $100,000.

[audience cheering]

Dance 100…

Make your final move…

Now.

[audience cheering]

[man] Wow.

[Brandi] I can't look. I can't look.
I can't look.

I don't want to look.

[cheering continues]

[loud cheering]

[Ally] Brandi, congratulations!

You are the winner of Dance 100!

You did it. I love you! Ate it!

What did I say?
"You're gonna k*ll that sh*t."

Hell yeah!

[Ally] Keenan, I'm so sorry.

But as you know,
sadly, there can only be one winner.

What have you enjoyed most
about this competition?

Um, I enjoyed being able to create
some of the biggest,

most amazing performances

that I only thought, maybe,


This stage was like the best playground
for a creative, like me.

The relationships I've built
with these people, they're family,

and just the amount of confidence
that I have in myself.

- So I feel so good.
- [audience cheering]

And I'm so happy for you, baby girl. Yes.

[Ally] Keenan, you have been amazing,

and we want to thank you for everything
you've brought to this competition.

Give it up for Keenan!

[audience cheering]

[Ally] Brandi.

You just won Dance 100.

How are you feeling?

[audience chanting]

Oh, my God, I feel…

[stutters]

It's going to sink in later, I think.

I'm kind of on the verge of crying,
but it's like, I can't.

I don't even, I have no words.

I feel so blessed and grateful to be here,
and obviously, you guys are amazing.

[audience cheering]

Please give it up one last time

for the person taking home $100,000,
and the winner of Dance 100.

It's Brandi!

[all cheering]

[Brandi] It's surreal.
I just feel so overwhelmed with emotion.

[Ally] Give it up for Brandi.

Mom, I won!

- [squeals]
- [laughs]

My driving motivation
was to just make my family proud.

I'm so happy for you.

[sniffles] Thank you. I love you.

It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
and I can't believe I just won this.

Oh, my God!
