NBC World of Dance - The Interviews Ep. 2 "Creative Process: Round 1"

[@thelinkup.official]

Love hearing this from the people who were actually on the show! We see the final product on TV and judge within seconds but the amount of hard work, creative thinking and passion put into it is just incredible!

[@thisisanamazingname3509]

Kieran Lai Official These guys really r amazing in what they build in their commUNITY, and the love and passion put into each performance they do ;)

[@dananguyen8700]

Kinjaz deserved better

[@rexfarrand6497]

Props to Kinjas and Keoni & Mari for sharing these reflections with us! I'm a new fan of all of you and if it weren't for NBC World of Dance, I wouldn't have known who you are. Now, I've spent countless hours watching your dances, performances, and can't wait to follow you continue on your journeys

[@marim0y]

I really love the honesty you all have and give from performance to interviews like this. You've built an incredible sense of community and I love it.

[@thisisanamazingname3509]

marim0y Ikr. I love hearing their perspectives on this and their struggles. I never thought that they would actually worry as much as they said they did..That's why I love watching these kind of videos to see what they're feeling on this stuff:)

[@AmanSingh-yl3st]

As a fact, we all know that the two groups sitting on the couch are the deserving top two finalists,and they know this too...But lets just respect the fact that they as artists have moved on, taking the positives from the show( representing their art form,culture,their signature styles on such a big platform and above all : a very big exposure). Competitions are great but they dont define your stature...but what matters is the legacy u leave behind....and these great performers dont need to win a mere show to justify that. They have come a long long way and am sure that they aim to go much higher...😊😊#kinjabang

[@yolad]

We get a bigger view, we can actually see the full dog now

[@thisisanamazingname3509]

Anhdrew Pik She/he's so cute ;)

[@whitneyhouston1]

[@yolad]

Keyirah Walton I just wanna know it's name

[@thisisanamazingname3509]

Keyirah Walton You sure? Its K&Ms dog ryt? And btw his/her name is coco

[@whitneyhouston1]

his name is coco boy or at least that's what they call him lol

[@kathrynrotko5928]

They are like me when I'm trying to pick out a song to dance to. It's like Goldie Locks. Nope this ones too raw, this one has no beat... YES! This one is perfect!

[@Byakugan615]

I like how Vinh is trying to get comfortable without bothering Coco

[@jeeemmm]

Byakugan615 how he hold coco is to cute!

[@thisisanamazingname3509]

Byakugan615 Ikr! he's so sweet 😊💞

[@mariposa281]

I love these mini episodes.

[@ameerandme]

I was like why are they sitting so close to each other then I realized the dog is taking up the whole couch lol 😭

[@thisisanamazingname3509]

DeAnna Baldwin Ikr 😂

[@thisisanamazingname3509]

I love watching these kinds of videos from u guys because I can hear your perspectives on stuff like this..Cause I didn't actually think u guys would worry as much as u said u did. The love and passion put into every performance that u guys create is mind blowing. Much luv :)

[@blueskyy111]

thank you so much for this series. gives us so much perspective bts and the show. huge props 🙌🙏

[@thisisanamazingname3509]

maryho95 Yess :)

[@vincejohn5678]

"...very trick oriented or athletic, flexible movement has been more successful. Whereas, for us, we're a lot more intricate, subtle, and smart; having to think our way through things rather body our way through things. For the both of us, we're like, 'Hopefully, they accept us...'" This is true in a lot of aspects of dance. You see the types of routines that always do better. They have the tricks, the most currently 'lit' song, and all the moves you've already seen, but really no story or no message behind it other than 'I will fight you' or 'I will fuck you'. However, you shouldn't change to copy what other dancers have already done. You stay true to yourself as an artist through honest storytelling and creating from the heart. Thank you, Mari, Keone, and Kinjaz for always blessing us something worth witnessing. :)

[@A1IR]

This is what literally happened. Ne-Yo knowing that JLo would give them a low score, gave them a 100 because he actually believes it deserved a perfect score. He was probably told to curve his score for Keone and Mari, but went against the grain. Then Ne-Yo was persuaded to give Les Twins a perfect score too during the break. He compromised by giving them a 99 basically stating that although for whatever reasons he gave them a 99, he still thinks Keone and Mari were better, even if it was by a mere point. Keone and Mari was robbed and everyone felt that shit, point blank period.

[@strtg3y3r]

The background music is totally Idealism! OMG that makes this video so much better.

[@Noone-qd4nl]

Who's been waiting ever since the first video

[@thisisanamazingname3509]

DeAndre Monroe Me. I'm literally sitting on KZbin bing watching all of the Kinjaz and K&Ms videos waiting 4 a new one xD

[@AbztractGames]

This helps a lot. Knowing your journey and the things you do is very educational for future generations of dancers :D Thank you for taking the time and sharing.

[@Badminton1410]

They even choreograph how they cross their legs for this vid lol

[@thisisanamazingname3509]

Chronic Crafter ikr xD

[@melissalai8173]

These chill convos are honestly the best! I love hearing your guys' thoughts on the nbc wod experience 🙌🏼

[@se7enhearts]

Keone made a good point about how the judges wanted to see flexibility and trick oriented choreo which I think is BS. Being concise and intricate should of put both keone, mari, and the kinjaz in the finals rather than fuckin swing latino and les twins >_>

[@jojokin]

Kinjaz are the best Woooaaaahhhhhh!!!,😀👍😀👍😀

[@TheKinjaz]

appreciate it!

[@toyiaayers8675]

KINJAZ should have won we all know it. YOU GUYS ARE WORLD OF DANCE

[@francescochemello4403]

in love with this format.

[@aswerty911]

7:05 I was wondering why they didn't go with I See Fire! Especially when JLo wanted them to go more emotional. ABDC was so long ago, they should've let them do it.

[@thisisanamazingname3509]

aswerty911 ikr! I loved that coreo ;-;

[@TranRaymond]

oh my god! pat finally talked HAHA (I love pat.. I ain't hating)

[@thisisanamazingname3509]

Raymond Tran Ikr! Last time he was just staring and nodding xD

[@NinjaGamer820]

Ngl if Keone was on the team and they performed Better Watch Yo Self they could've won.

[@thisisanamazingname3509]

Nemesis yea but the show was filmed before they created that coreo tho.

[@NinjaGamer820]

ILikeFood AndUDo2 o. Well shit

[@thisisanamazingname3509]

0:33 Anthony ur laugh tho xD

[@Jwockee]

On what keone said at the end. I still think about how Status Quo got to the finals over kaba modern on abdc season 1 lol

[@VanessaTS28]

Thank you so much for these episodes.

[@pianogal1010]

Love hearing the stories!

[@ToanNguyen-xe8mh]

this is such a good format, please keep it! it's just so cool listen to you talk and learn about the culture and the mindset :)

[@keehvin]

I wonder who the judges were for the auditions?

[@lisandrabrown221]

3:52 sounds like Mari thinks the judging wasn't consistently fair.

[@sinistersparrow3499]

lisandra brown because it wasn't :/

[@dreambig899]

Please load the whole interview

[@NinetyOneTil]

I am probably the only person in the world that doesn't enjoy the Les Twins. Not my cut of tea. I am a big fan of Keone and Mari though :D

[@ahoefaahlimba4537]

Tainted Donut you not enjoying them does not means their not good. ..

[@thisisanamazingname3509]

Tainted Donut I don't really enjoy their performances either, no hate tho. Don't worry ur not the only one :)

[@jzizzles7799]

LOL, they suck. All they do is convulse. Not even to the beat either. Overhyped. No story, no routine, just random convulsing. Kinjaz should have won. They had everything. Except the racist judges.

[@wandarincon8464]

jzizzles This. Basically. 😭

[@Ray-yg2tu]

jzizzles u dont have to like them but to say they suck is just plain stupid 😂😂

[@nataliehenriquez1107]

i love how next to the couple is sitting the guy with a dog, for some reason I find that funny. he's like i dont need a gf, i have this cute doggo

[@strtg3y3r]

9:46 has the song Phosphones (song is dope) for anyone who likes lofi.

[@christan279]

"my ass was doing math" me too pat, me too.

[@johndoe-lx4uz]

I was hoping you guys done a form of Dancebox, that would of blown the judges mind..

[@jackb3647]

john doe I think they said on their Instagram that they had a choreo of the dance box with KRNFX but never got the chance to perform it, maybe it was their next performance but then they got cut. Plus knowing Jlo she'd probably only give them a 90 or lower for it.

[@thisisanamazingname3509]

Jack B yep 😧

[@xojohnnn3750]

big fan of this series!

[@cptchromosome2325]

Make a kinjaz podcast!

[@austin404305]

I need a girl who looks at me the way Mari looks at Keone.

[@richardpajarillo4136]

Ask Anthony what are the measurements for his cut!

[@masonbarry1097]

Kinjas shouldn't have lost

[@pranava2998]

Will u guys return for season 2 I am a huge fan of you guys

[@TheKinjaz]

thanks!

[@KenMamba]

Eversince the show started you already know some of the judges were biased.. no disrespect to Les Twins and Swing Latinos but Kinjaz, Keone and Mari deserved to be in the finals.. Versatility never played a role with the judges.. so disappointed

[@uptorest]

hold up hold up, so you're telling me, that K&M scared the Les Twins? dude, back stage gold.

[@Warren_Flatt]

was hoping for more info...like why did they not choose to battle jabbawoockez in the duel?

[@gilltimmerman1333]

Who in their right mind would duel Jabbawockeez lmao

[@peternguyen737]

WarrenFlatt because jabbawockeez are their homies to challenge them in the duels is like calling them out said Mike in a Instagram live stream

[@GomezIV]

WarrenFlatt I don't think it was their choice on who to pick lol I think the producers told them who they were going against

[@Warren_Flatt]

i know they are homies, but in the Kinjaz's mind, they must be thinking "if we want to win this thing, we gotta go through Jabba so we might as well pick them and take them on right now".

[@yaandrade7186]

Inspirations

[@MsRikkiTikki1]

Quick question: What do I have to do to meet the Kinjaz? Im such a stan

[@blazechronos]

Another episode next week?

[@thisisanamazingname3509]

BlazeDaKid Yep.

[@Ray-yg2tu]

can y'all just release all the episodes right now ? LOL

[@thisisanamazingname3509]

Raveena H Ikr! I want MOREE

[@desi_jeremy3967]

I was hoping to hear Keone and Mari talk about dueling with Quickstyle. Please upload next episode asap!

[@Warren_Flatt]

Quickstyle was the most overrated crew on the show. 3 guys popping to folk music, wtf? any dancer from california can do what they do. so jokes mang

[@incronaut]

6:35 Farewell round (for ABDC)? As in they knew it was their last round as they were doing it? #conspiracies #justkidding #kindof

[@muhammadmuqsith6440]

incronaut they knew they will lose against QC.

[@JDzer0]

dope seeing how you guys think, it reminds me that you guys are human and not dance gods 24/7 LOL

[@thisisanamazingname3509]

Jared Divina Ditto lol

[@kehkeh92821]

lovveee

[@rain.enthusiast]

idealism, eh? whoever edited this video, i like your taste in music

[@jvrm3004]

[@vincentboy99]

Yall should make a channel so dancers can just talk.

[@friedtofu704]

Noticed how Les Twins isn't invited in at least one of their videos ☕

[@strtg3y3r]

Is the background music Idealism????????????

[@hashemmh5208]
