Reacting to season one of The Next Step - Episode 16 ✨💃

[@feeer5913]

I need Britt’s opinion on Margie disappearing….like, was it scripted since the beginning or why did they put Chloe as schizophrenic 😭😭😭

[@poppygerry2487]

Yesssss

[@adrianwildhaber1348]

being poor got to her :-(

[@Nataszawithaz]

EXACTLY like what was that 😭

[@hadassa10121]

frrrrr like the whole plot got me confused and i started laughing so hard lowkey

[@amandasheasby8832]

​@@adrianwildhaber1348lmao

[@avamorrice3112]

ok but why is Emily so unintentionally funny

[@emilyburgess_]

Literally 😂

[@Veditz287]

It makes up for her awful dancing haha

[@youvebeenyoongled9840]

I love the side tangents/rambling because it gives some insight into the real dance world which is cool in contrast to TNS dance world... it's great!

[@Blue-ll1vx]

Giiirl, Daniel and West forever :'D They had great chemistry and they would be such a cute couple, kinda crazy sunshine x ambitious grumpy vibes :D

[@Madxxyyyy]

I shipped them so harddd

[@margohansonhighkingsupreme7279]

whenever they did the ballet x hip hop duet. i was like okay now kisth

[@yanismouhoub6028]

Alex is such a good actress. The best is the whole show.

[@Hanifa-o8n]

Which alex piper or emily

[@leahmarshall43]

I have lots of not tns questions like: 1. Can you do an apartment tour now that the renovations are finished because from what I can see it looks amazing!! 2. Do you still journal? I would love to see more of that (maybe on your other channel) 3. What are you book recommendations (fixtion and non fiction) xx 4. Can you talk a bit more (if you feel comfortable) about your ADHD diagnosis??

[@emilyburgess_]

I really like this ep of s1 cus we start to understand emily & her choices, and root for her. But the fact she just gets dumped in the back row 😂 so harsh michelle Also, so happy you uploaded todayyy, ur vids are my fav to watch!

[@kathryn5631]

love when you go off on tangents about dance, please don't stop doing those :)

[@emilygumal4658]

YESSSS THE ICONIC RILEY SHIMMY IS BACK!!! Thank you, Britt!!! ❤️

[@erikachai388]

I’ve never clicked so fast!! Yay to more season 1 reactions🎉

[@emilygumal4658]

Things change drastically with line placements in Season 3...West and Giselle led the Empire finals routine, James and Riley led the Let's Dance Tonight semi-finals, and obviously the super iconic Jiley Flying duet, all four of you (and Max) were featured in the music mystery round, Riley and Giselle (and Noah and Stephanie and Cierra) were in the blindfold Hotel dance, Riley was supposed to compete for Miss Internationals Soloist, but thanks to Ella, Giselle did it instead 😂…all four of you guys MOVED UP in Season 3. ❤️

[@itzn0t5elena]

can wait for the q&a! i can only think of 2 - if riley got written back onto tns how do you think/want her to be written back on - do you still like banana chips

[@AlmaBove2010]

YAS girl!! You're back!!! I'm always super grateful for your videos! Tysm

[@emilygumal4658]

So happy these Riley Reacts are back!!! Can't wait for next week's reaction and thanks for returning to the Season 1 reactions!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@patri8318]

tns will forever be one of my favourite tv shows

[@leahmarshall43]

yayyyy missed this last week!! Happy to see you again

[@ilay_ux]

3:26 you did aha, I got deja vu from it 14:20 and then you do it again lol! I feel like I'm in class getting repeated information but just with different words. amazing

[@onallyrose1996]

I always did the Riley roll up when I was little and my mom was always mad at me pulling it off saying that it's not fashion cuz I keep saying that it's fashion

[@Catherine-Grace]

6:32 my old studio a lot of it was you will fit the mould through exams and competition but the teacher would also take time to help us develop our artistic and expression in different styles

[@aidan564]

The toe injury thing is so real, I used to do gymnastics and I would get them all the time to the point where it was a regular occurrence each week, not fun

[@emilygumal4658]

To be fair, in Season 5, when Riley had to choose between TNS East and TNS West, she chose Emily's TNS East and James chose Michelle's TNS West and in the end TNS East won. So in your last episode before the Xmas Special, you DID get to choose Emily and TNS East 😍😊

[@williammiller8589]

Where do you watch season 5 at?

[@jrlombardi5251]

@@williammiller8589 it's on youtube

[@alexandriawest]

We danced such an excessive number of hours in college that my toes used to split like that even in jazz shoes 😭

[@user-gb6ru9we7]

OKAY FIRSTLY BRITT ARE THOSE JHUMKAS?! Im in love with them and I have a very similar pair! They’re gorgeous ❤

[@matildangelica]

0:00 haha which duet? Also great video as always!

[@hhsixidiotsxx]

17:05 this interview is still available it’s on cbbc’s KZbin channel it’s called Cast On: What injuries do dancers get (or something) you did say toe slits 😂 Still makes my skin crawl because that pain/ feeling hurts so bad!

[@hunterking3164]

at this point we need a podcast to answer all the question we have

[@loesvr]

I have been watching TNS all day, great I get to close it with your video before I go to sleep :)

[@katiejessome9570]

The most iconic season 🤭

[@sanjidasdiary]

i actually felt so sad for emily here bc she actually tried and still got put in the back row whereas stephanie didn't even show up 😂idk why west got put in the back row tho ! also i cant wait 4 the slumber party episode!!!!

[@alanacooking9321]

I LOVE this series SO much tns was and is one of my favourite shows from cildhood that at times I still re-watch only the first few though. Anyway I have a question since I recently just finished season 2 I saw that one of the teams you competed against was Joanne Champmans (Sorry if I spelt that wrong) so were the dances they competed the dances you were apart of basically as that the team you competed with off the show? And my second question ties in with my first if that was your team was it weird competing against your own team and having your teachers there watching you dance especially the point work you did in your duet? (that duet is my favourite from the show and I thought you were SO good in it too) So much love to you Britt you are so funny and talented and I iwsh you a lovely day :)))))

[@rachelis5581]

Currently home with the flu and this video was just what I needed to brighten my morning 😊

[@gerhardfromspainnn5963]

I get that emily is a better captain and all that, but then again she choreographed a dance that was at a very low level that didnt challenge anyone, not even herself. What im trying to say is that her abilities were limited

[@maiseyjones4343]

how many times has brit explained ADR now?

[@itzn0t5elena]

Yayy these videos light up my day

[@PallfriaThomsen]

Love season one❤

[@Grapes_val]

Love u britt!!

[@Heaven7671]

Your hair looks great, just wanted to say that!

[@Nataszawithaz]

Ngl I kinda shipped west and Daniel especially in that one episode where they do the hip hop ballet fusion dance thingy

[@AgAusstar]

Flippy tricky B Boys!! Love it!!! 😂

[@benjaminbitterman5808]

I'm so happy your back! I have two questions! 1. Do you watch tns edits or edits of yourself on instagram or tiktok? 2. Will you react to season 9 and the second half of season 8 when you are done with season 1?

[@mia_13309]

Hi Britt, I loved this video, I have some questions I would love you to answer: 1. If you were to go back to tns what is something you would do/act differently. (Is there a specific scene you wish you could redo?) 2. What was your audition for the next step like?

[@emilyburgess_]

Wooo the shimmy is back :D

[@ameliamorgan2287]

The older I get the more I empathise with Emily and see that Kate was the real villain.

[@onallyrose1996]

How did west Lamar Johnson do the dance without breaking any bones in his body 😱

[@Adrian-mh8op]

I’ve wanted to know, why did wests white wall intro never change but everyone else’s did

[@Yasmin-q4d6b]

The most iconic

[@gabriellesantos1102]

Is there a storyline you Wish they did or that the show explored more? Mine is Emily and West relantionship

[@blaccademia]

Yes! Or Emily and hunter

[@cultoftahiti]

Yay another Brit video!!

[@kelowna77]

Omg just saw the finally of season 9 and got a glimpse of it going back to the heart it had back when you guys were all on it. **spoiler maybe kind of (it’s a cliffhanger)** With Eldon and Michelle getting back together and buying tns they could really bring back the magic that I found lacking in seasons 5-8. It was nice seeing Eldon for all of 9, but it wasn’t til Michelle came back that it had that whisper of the original cast’s chemistry and magic. Makes me actually excited for season 10.

[@mia_13309]

Hi britt, i loved this video, i really enjoy watching you react to season 1 episodes, they are my fav. I know this might be personal but i have a question, did you and trevor have a falling out because i recently noticed you don't follow him on instagram and i was wondering if something happened between you two. Sorry if this is too personal, you dont have to answer. 😀😀

[@leahmarshall43]

I LOVE YOUR EARRINGS SO MUCH

[@britneytsesler]

how did your braces coming off episode work? can we get some details on that?

[@OliviaBell123]

love these videos ! ❤

[@BetsyPinnock]

Yay you posted 😀🎉 My question is what was your favourite type of scene to film and what was your favourite dance on tns

[@ellielovesdance1]

Will you ever go on tour again with any of the cast because I need you to come to the uk! As a dancer I would loveeee to watch you ❤️ also you look so pretty ok bye

[@amandaa.charlottee]

The empire group dance in season 3 with Ella in studio A you can hear background noise of people cheering and hyping each other up but nobody was talking, was that ADR too? It sounded like you were in a dance studio tho

[@micellaragua]

Guys I’m not sure if Brittany Raymond has a Cameo… 👀

[@leahmarshall43]

another non tns question : what’s the meaning behind your tattoo??

[@Catherine-Grace]

I have some questions if you do a q&a. What was your favourite season to act and what was your favourite Riley if they were different? What is your best memory from when you were a competitive dancer at Joanne chapmans

[@emilygumal4658]

Good lord, now a Riley-James-Daniel love triangle??? 😂 Well, that would certainly explain why Daniel chose to switch the names in the hat in S3 to make James vs Riley happen in the Internationals dance battles…😂 Also, things come in threes...who's going to cheat THIS time? 😂😂😂 and to be fair, seeing as Michelle and Eldon are gonna potentially buy the studio in Season 10, it actually makes perfect sense for their best friends, Riley and James, to return. And I'm sure everyone would be happy to have Daniel back as well ❤️

[@smiled1583]

Would you do a reaction to all the old tns youtube videos? Like the bts etc.?

[@sylviamoussa2940]

felt bad for eldon icl💀 this guy loves emily, emily doesnt, ooo michelle is nice to him, he likes michelle, michelle likes him, emily likes him, oop eldon is with emily, michelle pushes him away. too sad.

[@cpgb08]

would u ever react to episodes from season 2 or 3?

[@hadassa10121]

Question: during the time in the show (like season 1-5) when “Jiley” was a thing, did u ever have feelings for Trevor in real life?!?! (i need to know this i have been questioning for so long)😚

[@LucyMcMillan-g7b]

Q&A questionnn - what were the acting challenges that came with transitioning from dancer to studio head in S4. was it a lot different when all of the new cast memebers came in (Shelby, Alex, Isiah ect) as you were now like a role-model on set?

[@slickjumpedoverthelazydog]

Love your videos

[@puffyseaweed]

Would you like to react to Lost & Found Music Studio since you were on it ? Love your videos

[@weeevs1611]

I adore your beaded earrings! I've noticed you wearing them in your previous videos, and as an Indigenous viewer, it brings me joy. Where do you get them? You look stunning!

[@BrittanyRaymondOfficial]

Thanks! I got them from Portugal last year, when I went with my family :)

[@beacardoso3456]

yay i missed this last week since there was no reaction video hahah my question for you is what was your favorite dance, that you were in, from tns?? love you

[@emilyroberts3084]

Firstly, I wanna say that TNS is the reason I started dancing (Riley was obviously my fav!) so thank you! and also my question is: if Emily and West did get together (like season 2 hinted at) would you ship it or not?. I Love you!

[@theprinceetn2568]

My question is, if you were would have to add/change/remove a storyline of any character on TNS, who and what would it be?

[@chatting18]

One question i need answered: As you were already a competitive dancer what are some strategies or tips you were given improve your acting over your seasons on tns?

[@Addy.sppamm.account]

Who was your fav character from the show (apart from yourself) love u Brit!! 🫶🫶

[@ajlasivic7084]

I totally get it with the competition kinda killing the soul expression. Had the same experience but glad to be back dancing but this time not for trophies or titles

[@livkelly1169]

if you could play any other TNS character who would it it be? Love you x

[@onallyrose1996]

Watching it again michelle was a boyfriend stealer and now I understand why Emily didn't like her my mom didn't like michelle and I didn't listen to her cuz she knew she stole her bf that's why she took hunter from her later and now I don't like michelle anymore and I listened to my mom and I didn't notice that eldon was a stalker

[@CrystalAGGARWAL]

Can you please react to the episode where Riley goes to London to meet James and their dance together in London ❤

[@H_moonsrise]

Yayy I hope ur ok and doing well❤❤❤

[@sff3055]

In season 4 when they’re going to the 2nd qualifier and they say that the winning team can take a dancer from another studio HOW DOES THIS WORK?? I mean they can’t force them too leave right?

[@disguisedhamstergames8299]

Did you still compete outside of the next step with your studio during filming or did you completely like leave your studio

[@Honeybobq]

Wait so how do you watch the next step if your in another country since it’s on bbc iPlayer like I’m in London right now but how are you able to watch it

[@laceyloo1175]

what’s your opinion on the fact Riley had to do nothing when she cheated on James however when James cheated on Riley he has to compete a whole list of

[@aishabegum]

Did doing The Next Step and learning the basics of acting help when you did the Transitions movie with Isaiah ? Were there any acting challenges you faced.

[@jxyden8380]

Are u planning on watching seasons 2,3 and 4? I’d love to see you react to those ones do much

[@glowing9052]

were the results of the competition already known by the cast for example s1 regionals did you as the cast already know this season they win

[@JuanimondYT]

question: which dance style would you wish you could have done more of in the show?

[@mia_13309]

Did you ever wish James and Riley (Jiley) wasn't a thing or that you had a different storyline on tns?

[@sff3055]

In season 3 when Kate chooses Amanda to go to Sweden, was she forced to leave? Like what if she said no or her parents didn’t want her to go? I never understood that.

[@evieharris5783]

questions - when you were in extracurricular was the dance plot added for your character after you were cast? also loved seeing you in a horror film, would you want to do another one at some point?

[@TylerDeVilliers]

hi! loved you on the next step and in dare me! what was your favourite costume from TNS that you wore?

[@emilygumal4658]

Question: Were you ever invited back to TNS and you were unable to do so cuz of an acting job or some other reason? We know about the logistics of the Christmas Special shooting for you cuz of Dare Me but I was wondering if it was ever an option for you to return in S6, parts of S7 that weren’t the Christmas Special, S8 or S9? Hope you’ll be invited back for S10…I miss Riley ❤

[@emilygumal4658]

She's back!!!! So excited to watch this!!! Also, so glad you met Alex, Taveeta and Erika recently!!! ❤️❤️❤️ and obv Brennan HAHA 😍😊

[@williammiller8589]

How do I watch season 5 and on of the next step I tried on prime videos and it was saying the video is unavailable

[@lemon-iy3ix]

Why were regionals filmed like they were a separate award show almost?

[@user-gb6ru9we7]

Love ur reaction sm 💗 also coming to a few things u mentioned. I’d definitely be team Emily (from this point onwards) with Michelle as choreographer maybe. I think Emily just has this aura of authority around her and in s2 she rlly was the best dance captain! Secondly, EMILY BEING IN THE BACK ROW WAS HARSH! Emily and West as well because James didn’t even audition and just got placed in the middle row??? Im sorry aren’t u supposed to audition to be placed well… clearly West or Emily should’ve gotten that spot. I’ll wait for your next reaction to say my next point but I think this is where Michelle started going a bit downhill for me. Love her character and by the latest season she’s one of my favs but from here on to the middle of s2 I wasn’t the biggest fan.

[@ayy_flo6121]

It says on your cameo that you are 41 years old?? 😂😂

[@onmybookitlist]

how was the auditioning process like for TNS? Did they call for dancers at studios?

[@adrianwildhaber1348]

Did you have an actual solo prepared for internationals? If so, could we see it?

[@hmbracletes]

Are you still in touch with the TNS cast?
