Dance III Boy/Girl Bands

TLC Scrubs

• All need same costuming - hats and hoodies
• Directions for beginning with hat and hoodie (step touch) should be the same
• When you step on the hoodie, slam your foot down and then jump back away from it and keep dancing- leave it there- don't take the time to pick it up and move it- not as smooth.
• EVERYTHING should be BIGGER!! Chorus is awesome, you just need to dance it bigger- way more energy

Spice Girls

• GREAT job getting them down, nice choreo
• get step touch and hip wiggle in opening together
• no open legs when you squat and come up rubbing your legs (dirty)
• Carly, don't cross in front of Selena, just come forward from formation
• Zigazig ahhh at end needs to be to audience and bigger - turn to side 1-4 and then front to do knees 5-8

Pussycat Dolls

• Opening is a little lazy- commit to the choreography and punch it
• Stage all to one side- Marina is off by herself, get with the formation
• Widen your stance on chorus to mimic Hannah's more
• Sam you need to lean AWAY from your split, not into it.
• Ending needs to be something you can hold!

Danity Kane

• Don't watch each other! Everything needs to be bigger, and nothing is really synchronized yet.
• When coming up from the squat, define the arms (Missty had some choreography it looked like, mimic that
• Finish the routine!! Incomplete as is.

New Edition

• GREAT job with choreo, crowd appeal
• how will you stage the opening in the gym? no curtain? maybe start in a diamond with Anthony ducked down in the beginning, then you either spread out to let him walk through, or drop as he walks through?
• Get arms all the way out when you extend them- no halfway
• Aaron, your hips are a little whacky - we need to get you in sync with others
• What is the Batman transition?! A little out of the style...
• No need to take the shirt off Anthony- it cheapens you :) You are not a piece of meat.
• Stephen, last formation you are hiding behind Martin- move out.

Lady Marmalade

• Challenge - de-sexify
• Alaina move towards Alison in opening
• I would start in a tighter formation and then open up during the walk, but need to see some kind of transition during that walk
• BIGGER arms on "itchy kitchy" - off your body
• NO LEG FLASH, and no booty out getting up from that- use arms, not hips
• Smoother at the end getting up- roll towards the back if you have to to stand up

I Want You Back (Jackson 5)

• Austin late in the beginning?
• Great opening section
• Find a way to be smoother getting up- like the turnout of it, but need to move straight into next piece of choreo-
• Where is the rest?

Backstreet Boys-

• Opening formation- Adrian, scoot towards center stage more, can't see Michael
• Don't watch Aron- everybody should probably have their heads down
• In opening arms, either everyone needs to groove like Aron, or all need to be still with lower body
• Adrian? memory? All need to watch rhythm once beat starts
• On last formation change- it's a signature move! Really reach to each side bigger, punch it- stronger arms. NEEDS AN ENDING!

Destiny's Child

• Do something with the 2nd 8 count in the beginning- either switch the formation again, or do some military style movement here- don't stand. You got our attention!
• Be sure not to watch!
• 1st formation Lindsey should be on the outside, 2nd formation, Stacy needs to move out
• Stacy don't turn your torso towards the side on the snake- keep square to the front
• end?  needs a stopping point- like a pose.
