- So, you're about to see two small sections of choreography that I created for Malakai and Jessica.
- 01:13
- And, we'll stop it there.
- 01:17
- That was two small pieces from one of their choreographies. It's online, so you can see the thing in its entirety.
- 01:23
- But I'd like to talk about how they were...
- 01:25
- All of the pieces that we've been talking about, in these recent chapters, were incorporated.
- 01:30
- So, at the beginning, the music started. And there was this beginning in the music. And so, they had a beginning, where ...
- 01:36
- Just sketch it. So, let me move you here. You don't have to really do it. Don't pick her up.
- 01:39
- Just so the viewer knows what we're talking about.
- 01:42
- So, at the beginning, they're there. He walks around, yada-yada.
- 01:47
- Here they emote passion. Right there, the music has this slow sustainment.
- 01:52
- And I thought, "Oh, that would be fun". So, we had some dramatic beginning. Which was all about this lift. So, he lifts her up.
- 01:59
- Not to this music. You know, it fit the music better. Give it a go, keep going.
- 02:02
- One, two, three. Takes her out. Takes her back. Puts her up. Onward, upward.
- 02:07
- This is, you know. The real thing is better than this.
- 02:09
- They come up, and then she goes down. And there's this beautiful line, long and lyrical.
- 02:13
- And so, that's one section of the music. And then, all of a sudden, it becomes very strident. Much like this: "Da, da, da, da; da da".
- 02:19
- And when you hit this strident thing, then, all of a sudden, they go into these sacadas. Bang! Bang! Right.
- 02:25
- And so, that was the first section. Was how... The... You have these different phrases in the music, and we fit the choreography to that.
- 02:34
- And you see that they have their bodies very long and active. And that their movement wasn't even.
- 02:40
- It was rich and textured and had moving through.
- 02:45
- Later on, they had a second set. Actually, the music you hear now, right, it's very fast.
- 02:49
- And so, when you watch the video clip, you'll see the fast to this.
- 02:53
- Then, the second section had the same idea. It starts with an exuding chemistry, which is this choreographic structure.
- 02:59
- That you have some things that are about fancy tricks. You have some things that are about chemistry.
- 03:04
- You have some things that are about cool steps.
- 03:07
- And so, they exude chemistry. And then, they go from this thing of exuding chemistry, to this sharp, cool step.
- 03:14
- So, if you do that,
- 03:18
- Right here, they're sideways, they exuding chemistry, she drags up along him, "Oh, my".
- 03:22
- There's the pressure, yada-yada-yada, he walks around.
- 03:27
- It's still slow, and long. And right there, just hit the lunge line.
- 03:30
- And, there's this beautiful line. And then, I better move out of the way.
- 03:34
- It becomes sharp, and dramatic. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! And they keep going, enganches, and so on and so forth. Thank you.
- 03:43
- So, when you watch this chapter, I actually want you to watch it twice. The beginning, watch the beginning again.
- 03:48
- So, right now, the comment is: see how it fits the music.
- 03:52
- Then, also see, how, because it fits the music, and the music is appropriate, so it's very varied,
- 03:57
- That... The choreography itself has sections. Of acting, or big trick, or cool combination. Or something to keep the interest.
- 04:07
- And then, as you watch, also notice how alive their bodies are.
- 04:11
- So, that... Even if you have all these other pieces working together, without life, you know, you can be like this.
- 04:18
- Greatest choreography in the world, greatest music,
- 04:22
- No one's going to want to pay to see that.
