Hey everyone! So this is choreography and other stuff. But first, a few messages:
1. I've put a poll up on my profile (and I can see a few people have already voted, thx :D) about your favourite contenders this season where you vote for up to 3 people. I'll update it weekly, maybe changing the questions etc... So I hope you like it!
2. I'm sorry to say that I'm pretty sure I won't be recording the songs this year. I tried yesterday but nothing went right and I don't think I have as much time on my hands, especially this week (it's my exam week and I have to help prep an assembly which is two days away! Eek!) So I apoligise!
3. Don't forget how much I want to hear your ideas! I have got all the songs, but if you have any particular plot twists, concepts or just funny scenes (I'm intending on doing some truth or dare soon!) then lemme know, whether that's via PM or via review. I want to involve all of you awesome people this time, unlike last time. So, lemme know!
That's it, apart from the fact I need to thank you so much for constantly being there for me and being so lovely! Thanks!
The contenders enter the dance studio and immediately split off into groups, scattering round the room. While Jaia and Jenna stretch in cycling shorts and crop tops to show of their figures and toned bodies , Cindy, West, Emily and Ace collapse on the hard wooden floor in hoodies and jogging bottoms, frightened of what's to come. After a while, Zach and Brooke enter the room, grinning almost wickedly.
"Well this'll be... interesting" West mutters to Cindy under his breath.
"Welcome one and all to the best place in the world: Ma dance studio!" This statement is followed by an awkward silence, and Zach stares, trying to be intimidating, directly at Max, who returns the look blankly.
"TUMBLEWEED!" Pierce, Ollie and Jack exclaim in unison, forward rolling across the length of the floor, making Zach's arms scrunch up by his chest, rising and falling unevenly as he laughs. Once he regains his composure, he continues,
"Anyway, now that's over, it's time for the serious bit. Okay. Obviously you guys all showed me your dancing skills at callbacks and, as I recall, only about half of you have physical rhythm, so this won't be easy!" He chuckles while the contenders eye each other, trying to work out who he's referring to. "Right, let's get down to business! What I wanna do is split you: Girls on one side, boys on the other, go!" Zach orders and everyone obidiently follows his commands, chatting quietly and exchanging various looks.
"Raise your hand if you're confident in your dancing ability," Jaia, Jack, Pierce, Emily and Penny raise their hands, Ace and West shake their hands by their chests, uncertain. Zach supresses a nervous giggle.
Oh god.
"5,6,7,8 Ba, Ba, down and up, turn bounce and Ra-R- RA!" Zach barks, wandering from one side of the studio to the other, scrutinizing the contestants. Most of them have at least some body rhythm, but some lack even in that and can't grasp the basics. He mentally bangs his head against the wall, aggrivated. But what bugs him the most is some of their confidence issues. Like Ace and West, who didn't expect much of themselves yet were some of the quickest to perfect the steps. However, they're dance styles are much more varied than the past seasons, which is some comfort. Like, Penny does Ballroom and swing, Emily does hip hop, Jaia does Ballet, street, contempory and hip hop.
"Right guys, take five!" Zach announces, and the room is flooded with relieved sighs. As they disperse to their seperate groups and Pierce along with Jaia leave the room, Zach calls over West and Jason. Thinking of the worst, they glance at each other anxiously and stumble in his direction, West taking a swig of his luke-warm water. "I just wanted to tell you how great you're doing, especially you Jason, you have a real talent, kinda like Harry Shum!" West nods modestly and Ace beams, his heart swelling with pride. They thank the dance teacher and return to their groups, feeling like they're worth more than they were before.
"Great job you guys, don't screw it up for me now, okay?" Some contestants reply with a laugh, while others just faintly nod, their nerves building up. "Uh... Max, Ollie, Cindy, Jenna, Chesney, can you come over here for a second, I want to do another walk-through with you."
"Good luck, you'll rock it" Jaia whispers in Jenna's ear as she pulls her into a tight hug and watches her as she and the other contenders swarm over to Zach. "I hope they'll be okay," She sighs as the rest of them return to campus, feeling thankful to have gotten out unscaved but worried for their friends.
"Yeah, Cindy seemed pretty worked up, but she'll pull through," Emily replies, giving Jaia a warm, reassuring smile.
Huh, guess she's not as bad as I thought. Emily can't help but think, looking at Jaia. As the week has gone on, they've returned to good terms, and Emily quite likes her fun personality and badass attitude. As they continue the long walk back to the house, Jaia and Pierce's pace slows, until their trailing the rest, a little far back from the crowd.
"Should we tell them?" Jaia asks in a hushed tone and Pierce shakes his head.
"Nah, I think it's about time Jack got a taste of some well deserved medicine" He chuckles, and they catch up with everyone else, including Jack who leads the group, talking excitedly about some random and completely unrelated topic. As Jack opens the door, he's greeted by a ton of water making contact with his head. He stands still, his only movement being spitting flattened locks of sopping wet hair out of his face.
"Well Jack, we just thought..." Pierce starts, grinning from ear to ear at Jaia, who holds back her laughter at Jack's unimpressed expression.
"...You might just need a bit of cooling off after choreography," Jaia finishes, her composure breaking and a wail of laughter escaping her lips.
"And seeing Jenna in a crop top!" Ollie chips in, sprinting up the corridor to join the gang, closely followed by Jenna, Chesney, Cindy and Max, who are all laughing, amused. Jaia's smile fades, replaced with a look of concern.
"Oh, but don't worry Ollie," Jaia says slipping past Jack into the house and collecting something from behind the door before motioning for Pierce, Jenna, West and Ace to come in with her. From behind the door, Ollie hears their sniggers, his face becoming slightly scared. With no warning, the five of them jump out from behind the door, firing water balloons at him. He screams girlishly, cowering, covering his face protectively with his back against the wall. Everyone breaks into fits of laughter, when Cindy steps forward, face perplexed.
"Wait... is that slingshot made of a THONG?!"
