1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
Welcome to Fit to Be Real and a little extra.

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:12,000
We have one of our most very special, amazing guests set for you today.

3
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:13,000
We are so excited about it.

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:14,000
I can't even talk.

5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:15,000
I know.

6
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:16,000
Clearly.

7
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:21,000
There's going to be some history of things that we probably don't want to talk about and

8
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:22,000
admit are true.

9
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:23,000
Yeah.

10
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:28,000
But you're going to get some interesting insight on Carly and I from a third party that's not

11
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:29,000
either of us.

12
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:30,000
So it's going to be true.

13
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:31,000
Yeah.

14
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,000
It's no not no lie.

15
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:34,000
No cap.

16
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:38,000
Oh, see how I like to bring other podcasts together.

17
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:39,000
Oh, period.

18
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,000
She's she's telling me I'm not I need to say period.

19
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:46,000
Let me tell you this woman started the period way before it.

20
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,000
The period was a thing and it goes like this.

21
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:51,000
Really?

22
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,000
Yup.

23
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:53,000
Really?

24
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,000
I can't even go that low.

25
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:55,000
Ready?

26
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,000
Seriously, Carly.

27
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,000
Seriously.

28
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,000
And shut it down.

29
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,500
Shut it down immediately.

30
00:01:03,500 --> 00:01:08,000
You can do this woman can do this with one word.

31
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:17,000
Let's get into it.

32
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,000
I'm Victoria.

33
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,000
Hey guys, I'm Carly with us today.

34
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,000
We call her Miss Kristen.

35
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:24,000
Mm hmm.

36
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,000
Okay.

37
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:30,240
She's a real name and it's Kristen Hackney, but she will forever be Miss Kristen.

38
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:40,000
She is the OG of dance of teaching us dance of dance competitions, judging dance competitions.

39
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,000
Oh, yes.

40
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,000
Judging us.

41
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,000
She's telling us that's not true.

42
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,000
And my gosh, so many more.

43
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,000
She wears a million hats.

44
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:56,000
She might be one of the most generous and nicest people in the entire world and if you or by

45
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:01,000
you, I mean Carly and I have an issue, we go directly to Miss Kristen for help.

46
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,000
So she will forever be our number one call.

47
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,000
Yes.

48
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,000
Yes.

49
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,000
Yes.

50
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,000
Yes.

51
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,000
Miss Kristen, what's up?

52
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,000
Hello, hello.

53
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,000
Oh, that was good.

54
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,000
That's a new one.

55
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,000
I like it.

56
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,000
It's very much with really.

57
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,000
Yeah, seriously.

58
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,000
I wanted to just keep it real the way I am.

59
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,000
And you do the high pitch Carly if you want.

60
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,000
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

61
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,000
We do what we want.

62
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,000
You're looking at me.

63
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,000
Okay, we'll look down to look away.

64
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,000
Hi guys.

65
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,000
That was so good.

66
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,000
Look at her.

67
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,000
That was so good.

68
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,000
Oh, God, I waited to do that.

69
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,000
It's just so good.

70
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,000
I practiced on the car ride over.

71
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,000
Yeah.

72
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,000
It was better than yours actually.

73
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,000
Yeah.

74
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:51,000
Because it was more natural.

75
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,000
Listen, everybody does it better than me.

76
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,000
It was more natural.

77
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,000
It's you.

78
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,000
You own that girl.

79
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,000
We call you Miss Kristen.

80
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,000
Yes.

81
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,000
Some people call you MK.

82
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,000
True, true, true.

83
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,000
I tend to not call you MK.

84
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,000
I don't know why.

85
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,000
I just call you Miss Kristen.

86
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,000
It's respect.

87
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,000
Yeah, respect, I guess.

88
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,000
I love the name MK though.

89
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,000
Yeah.

90
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,000
It's a term of endearment.

91
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,000
I love it.

92
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,000
Yeah.

93
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,000
And you don't mind when kids call you MK.

94
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,000
Well, not little kids.

95
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,000
Little kids don't know that.

96
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,000
You have to hit a certain plateau before you hit the MK.

97
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,000
Yeah.

98
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,000
Yeah.

99
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,000
It depends on the relationship I would think.

100
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:28,000
Well, in saying that, I mean, everybody respects Miss Kristen.

101
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,000
And I don't know.

102
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,000
I don't know how you, how do you make that happen?

103
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:39,280
Here's why she's asking this question because Carly thinks she has the persona of you when

104
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:44,000
she teaches and she, but she's just loud.

105
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:51,000
So then instead of having this respectful fear that we have of you, it's a respectful

106
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,000
fear.

107
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,000
Yeah.

108
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,000
They just, no, it's a nice, I mean, with you guys.

109
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:57,000
No, it's good.

110
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,000
Keep that.

111
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,000
No, it's a good, healthy.

112
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,000
It's like, you don't want to let your teacher down.

113
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,000
You don't want to do it wrong.

114
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:09,000
You definitely don't want you yelling and being disappointed or upset.

115
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,000
It's the respect of it.

116
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,000
Carly just, they don't like her.

117
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,000
No.

118
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,000
I don't think that's true.

119
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,000
Oh, Miss Kristen, that's nice.

120
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,000
I don't think that's true.

121
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,000
No, they do.

122
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,000
They do.

123
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,000
What's the secret?

124
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,000
Guys, I couldn't tell you.

125
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:29,000
I have done the same thing since I started teaching way back when I've been the same

126
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,000
then that I am now.

127
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,000
Maybe something with the eyes and the visuals.

128
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,000
I don't know.

129
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,000
Oh, the eyes and the eyebrow.

130
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,000
It's like, and you know what, Miss Kristen has never gotten loud.

131
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,000
She gets quiet.

132
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,000
Oh yeah.

133
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,000
You know that like, and you just don't want to get that from her ever.

134
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,000
I think I only got it like once or twice when I wouldn't go on the floor because I don't

135
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,000
do floor work.

136
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,000
But I did when I was younger because Miss Kristen told me I had to and I might have

137
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:59,000
given her a hard time one or two times where she gave me that like really.

138
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,000
I'm upset for you.

139
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,000
Why?

140
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,000
Because that's frightening.

141
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,000
Well, you've never gotten that.

142
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,000
We all know Victoria's never gotten that.

143
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,000
Let's do what she says.

144
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,000
Thank you, Victoria.

145
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,000
That's why I'm scared out of my mind.

146
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,000
I'll do it.

147
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:17,000
Well, even going backwards, Miss Kristen, we grew up with Miss Kristen teaching us dance.

148
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,000
That's how we met really.

149
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,000
Didn't and okay, you know, I love a good story that's wrong.

150
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,000
Okay.

151
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,000
Because this in my mind is how it happened.

152
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:33,000
You knew you met our mom years ago.

153
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,000
She didn't teach you this.

154
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,000
So this is how the story goes.

155
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,000
Okay.

156
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:42,000
Miss Carmella was actually my first dance teacher.

157
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,000
Okay.

158
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,000
Way back when at another local dance studio.

159
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,000
Okay.

160
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,000
And she only taught me my first year.

161
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:55,000
And then I came back together with Miss Carmella in my early 20s.

162
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,000
Okay.

163
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,000
And that's when you started teaching for my mom?

164
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,000
Yes.

165
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,000
Okay.

166
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:04,000
And then so we were when she opened her studio, right?

167
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,000
A couple of years after, maybe four or five years after.

168
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,000
Okay.

169
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:09,000
So yeah.

170
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:15,000
Yeah, we can have because the studio celebrated its 26th year and I think you're like 24 of

171
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,000
the 23.

172
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,000
23.

173
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,000
23.

174
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,000
Yeah.

175
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,000
I'm going into my 24th.

176
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,000
Right.

177
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,000
Yeah.

178
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,000
And yeah, so Miss Kristen has grown up with us.

179
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,000
Yeah.

180
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,000
Truly.

181
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:34,000
She also teaches at many other dance studios and competition studios, which we all know

182
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,000
we are not a competition studio.

183
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,000
So we're going to get into that.

184
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,000
Yeah.

185
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:43,320
What do you think is one of the biggest differences between competition studios and our studio

186
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,000
that does not compete?

187
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:51,840
That's a tough question because it's really subjective to what you think and what you're

188
00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:52,840
looking for.

189
00:06:52,840 --> 00:06:56,000
Like, I think there's a lot of misconceptions about both to be quite honest.

190
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,000
You know what I mean?

191
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:58,000
Missed conceptions about them?

192
00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,000
Yes.

193
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:04,080
About like what people who some people who go to a non-compete studio, what they think

194
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:05,840
of a competitive studio and vice versa.

195
00:07:05,840 --> 00:07:06,840
That's true.

196
00:07:06,840 --> 00:07:07,840
You know what I mean?

197
00:07:07,840 --> 00:07:11,360
There's a lot of, you know, like any other profession, everybody likes to take it, you

198
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:16,160
know, to their thoughts, their opinions and blogs and, you know, whomever they want to

199
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:21,400
talk to and different thoughts play into a lot of things that people now do differently

200
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:22,400
now.

201
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:27,760
Like for instance, there are some people that run non-competitive studios that feel like

202
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:33,840
competitive studios just want to turn out technicians and, you know, you can hit six

203
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:38,320
turns, you're good for us and don't care a whole lot about artistry, which is completely

204
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:39,320
not true.

205
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:40,320
I think I have that misconception.

206
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:41,840
Like you believe that?

207
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:42,840
Yeah.

208
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,600
No, I don't believe it, but I think that maybe even when I was younger, that's what I thought.

209
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:47,600
Yeah.

210
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,440
I think that, so I think there are other people out there like, yeah.

211
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:54,760
And the flip side of that is that, you know, there are some competitive studios that feel

212
00:07:54,760 --> 00:08:03,560
like non-competitive studios maybe aren't as, you know, serious in defining what they're

213
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:04,560
doing, right?

214
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:11,200
Like settling for maybe less than what somebody can achieve, which of course is totally incorrect

215
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:12,200
as well.

216
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:13,200
Yeah.

217
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,840
I remember being a kid and my friends going to competitive studios and them just thinking

218
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,680
that I was just doing it for fun.

219
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:23,480
Now a lot of kids that go to non-competitive studios are doing it for fun because they're

220
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:24,720
doing a million other things.

221
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:25,720
Sure.

222
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:26,720
I wanted to be a dancer.

223
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:32,560
So I was like super insulted, but because we, you know, you're kids, you just, you don't

224
00:08:32,560 --> 00:08:35,920
have the actual facts about, you know, of course, of course.

225
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:37,840
But yeah, I agree with that.

226
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,240
People have the wrong idea about both.

227
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:46,160
And you know, the game has changed a little bit as years go on about, you know, getting

228
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,080
work as a professional dancer.

229
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:54,040
You know, they're remember now people see like dance moms and all the dance shows on

230
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:58,880
TV and they feel like I've got to replicate that because that's the only way I'm going

231
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:03,560
to be able to dance professionally versus you could grow up in a non-competitive studio

232
00:09:03,560 --> 00:09:05,400
and make your way to Broadway.

233
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:06,400
Yeah.

234
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:07,400
Hello, Pat Joyce.

235
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:08,400
Do you know what I mean?

236
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:09,400
You know what I'm saying?

237
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,400
Who danced at a non-competitive dance studio?

238
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:13,400
Yes, he did.

239
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,400
So you know what I mean?

240
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:16,400
Yeah.

241
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:17,840
Well, there's a lot of different opinions.

242
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,120
People only know what they think they know.

243
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:22,120
True.

244
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:26,080
I'm going to say think they know and not what they actually know because dance moms, I don't

245
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:27,080
know at all.

246
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:28,080
I think I've seen an episode or two.

247
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,040
We weren't allowed to watch it actually.

248
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:31,240
We weren't allowed to watch it.

249
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:36,000
So what I do know of that show, I'm like, oh yeah, that's all competitive studios.

250
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,000
That's how it is.

251
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,600
And many people have that perception.

252
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:39,600
Exactly.

253
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:40,600
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

254
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,600
And that's also bad too because that's not what happens in a competitive dance studio.

255
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:45,600
In reality.

256
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:46,600
Which is not even right.

257
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:47,600
You know what I mean?

258
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,520
The show is not reality.

259
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:50,920
That's not what happens in reality.

260
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:55,320
And I think that because then I think of you and I'm like, well, Ms. Christen's not like

261
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:56,320
that.

262
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:57,320
Right.

263
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,680
It has to be a disconnect to know.

264
00:10:00,680 --> 00:10:04,280
And I know a lot of other teachers that teach our competition studios and they're not like

265
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:05,280
that.

266
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,440
But it's what is filtered into our minds.

267
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,920
Well, I think also I'm going to bring it full circle here.

268
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,360
You know, Real Housewives of Jersey.

269
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:14,880
That's not what Jersey is like.

270
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:15,880
True.

271
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:16,880
Real Housewives of New York.

272
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:18,800
That's not really what New Yorkers are like.

273
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,040
So it's all, well, how do you feel about that, Victoria?

274
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,080
I hate everything you're saying.

275
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:25,080
But it is.

276
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,080
A reality show is not, it's not general.

277
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,440
It's literally for TV.

278
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,640
So Dance Moms is not every competition studio.

279
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,520
But we didn't know that when it first got popular and big.

280
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,720
And it's actually more about the Dance Moms.

281
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:38,720
That's what.

282
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:39,720
Then the dancing.

283
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:40,720
Yeah.

284
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:41,720
Then the show.

285
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:42,720
Yes.

286
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:43,720
It's about the crazy moms.

287
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,640
I mean, and there's crazy moms everywhere.

288
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,440
It doesn't just mean competition studios.

289
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:49,440
Oh, sure.

290
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:50,440
Yeah.

291
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:51,440
They're crazy moms all over the place.

292
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:52,440
I'm one of them.

293
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:53,440
I'm sitting next to one.

294
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,040
You're lucky I said it first.

295
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,440
I'm like one of those things or let me make fun of myself first.

296
00:10:58,440 --> 00:10:59,920
I can insult you.

297
00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:01,240
Oh, no, you can.

298
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:02,240
You can.

299
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:07,000
Now, through all of the teaching that you've done, I'm not going to ask you how long you've

300
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,000
been teaching.

301
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,000
I've been teaching since 1947.

302
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:10,000
That is 1947.

303
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:16,360
I've been teaching since 15 and I've been dancing since three and it has never stopped

304
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:17,720
and I've never taken a lull.

305
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:18,720
You've never taken a break.

306
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:19,720
I've never taken a break.

307
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:20,720
I've never taken a lull.

308
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,720
I've rolled it right on through.

309
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,240
That is crazy.

310
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:25,640
Because I haven't danced.

311
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:29,000
I just danced for the first time in the recital this year.

312
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,160
I don't think I've danced.

313
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:32,320
We do dance fitness every day.

314
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:33,320
You know that.

315
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:34,320
Sure.

316
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,400
But I haven't danced where you don't repeat a count of eight in years.

317
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,360
I can't believe you never took a break.

318
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:40,360
No break.

319
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,080
That's where the respect comes into play.

320
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:43,080
I know.

321
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:44,080
Yeah.

322
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:45,080
Yeah.

323
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:49,560
We respect Ms. Kristen a whole heck of a lot, especially when we're in trouble and

324
00:11:49,560 --> 00:11:50,560
we dial Ms. Kristen.

325
00:11:50,560 --> 00:11:51,760
We're like, Ms. Kristen.

326
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:52,760
What do we do?

327
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:53,760
Help us.

328
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,200
We'll always answer the phone.

329
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,200
We'll call Karm and she's like, call Ms. Kristen.

330
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:00,200
Call Ms. Kristen.

331
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,200
I don't know what to do with Karmus Kristen.

332
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:03,200
Yeah.

333
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:04,200
Wow.

334
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:05,200
That's incredible.

335
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,600
So when did you start judging?

336
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:08,600
Us.

337
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:09,600
Never.

338
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:10,600
Never.

339
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:15,240
I have never judged you or anyone else ever.

340
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:16,720
Actually, she has never judged us.

341
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,640
I have expectations of you and of everyone.

342
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,240
So that's a different kind of thing.

343
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,040
For me, I care about the effort.

344
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:24,760
She's expectations of us.

345
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:25,760
That's a problem.

346
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:26,760
I do.

347
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:30,560
And you have surpassed many, many of them.

348
00:12:30,560 --> 00:12:31,960
Oh, Ms. Kristen.

349
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:32,960
Cute.

350
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:34,400
But wait for, yeah.

351
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:35,400
So when did you start judging?

352
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,120
Because I think I was probably about 22.

353
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:39,800
Started judging dance competitions.

354
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:40,800
Yeah.

355
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:45,320
I went, I started teaching like on the different workshops, circuits and stuff like that around

356
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:46,320
22.

357
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:50,680
I remember going, no, I don't know if this is the same.

358
00:12:50,680 --> 00:12:51,680
Going to the.

359
00:12:51,680 --> 00:12:52,680
ITDI.

360
00:12:52,680 --> 00:12:53,680
Is that a workshop?

361
00:12:53,680 --> 00:12:57,560
Can you tell them what ITDI stands for?

362
00:12:57,560 --> 00:13:00,280
International Teachers of Dance Incorporated.

363
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:01,960
And we would go and it would be.

364
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:02,960
Yeah.

365
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:03,960
That was one of the first ones, actually.

366
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:04,960
Oh my gosh.

367
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:11,520
Just what felt like a million little dancers and the most acclaimed teachers that you

368
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,720
got to take from Derek Mitchell for hours.

369
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,400
I know you love him.

370
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:21,400
Like I was that girl that was young and idolized these dancers.

371
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:22,400
Yeah.

372
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,920
These professional dancers, whether they were in music videos or Broadway, and then they

373
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:31,400
would come to, you know, a hotel and you take a conference with them.

374
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,560
I thought that I was going to die and go to heaven.

375
00:13:34,560 --> 00:13:36,000
Derek Mitchell was one of them.

376
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:40,120
He was one of the best like jazz funk teachers and he was super cute.

377
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,120
So anyway.

378
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:43,120
Anyway.

379
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:44,120
Anyway.

380
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:45,120
Little lanes.

381
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,600
I was idolizing Frank Hatchett.

382
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:49,600
Yeah.

383
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:50,600
It was a little different.

384
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:51,600
Yes.

385
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,600
Frank Hatchett is like a king of all things jazz.

386
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,760
70 year old African-American man who we did love.

387
00:13:58,760 --> 00:13:59,760
Same.

388
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,400
I felt the same way.

389
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,480
Was killed and was respected by everyone.

390
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:05,480
Yes.

391
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,200
And the kindest, most generous man.

392
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:12,000
But I remember going with you and being like, well, we're with Miss Kristen.

393
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:17,760
So we would walk behind Miss Kristen like her little little minions.

394
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:18,760
Yeah.

395
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:19,760
Following behind her.

396
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,360
And we would be walking around and being like, well, we're with.

397
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:24,360
We're with this.

398
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,560
We're with the head of this whole thing right now.

399
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:27,560
It was a great time.

400
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:28,560
It was it was great.

401
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,960
You know, everybody coming out and training and the emphasis being on learning and just,

402
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:35,760
you know, picking up better skills, being able to pick up quicker and to do more and

403
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:37,560
at that time, that's what that was.

404
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:38,560
Is it different?

405
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:39,560
And it's still that.

406
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:40,560
It's still that.

407
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:41,560
It's still that.

408
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:42,560
It's still that.

409
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:43,560
It's still that.

410
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:44,560
It's still that.

411
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:45,560
It's still that.

412
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:46,560
It's still that.

413
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:47,560
It's still that.

414
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:48,560
It's still that.

415
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,360
It's still that way now.

416
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:51,960
I mean, do they still have them?

417
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:52,960
Oh, God, yeah.

418
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,960
Yeah, there's tons of workshops and it didn't stop when I stopped and it didn't.

419
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:57,960
I'm sorry.

420
00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:58,960
It didn't.

421
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:00,960
I mean, and there's tons.

422
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,460
Yeah, of course.

423
00:15:03,460 --> 00:15:07,160
With that being said, as things evolve and, you know, how things change, you will, of

424
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:11,480
course, the same situation of people wanting to get to the center of the floor and I can

425
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:12,480
do 12 pure wets.

426
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:13,480
Watch me.

427
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:14,480
Yeah.

428
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:15,960
And they're, you know, and that's amazing.

429
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:17,280
And that shouldn't be overlooked.

430
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:18,880
Like that's an amazing skill.

431
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,720
There's amazing work that goes about to do that, but it's not everything.

432
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,080
So I think that's what a lot of like tricks.

433
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:31,560
I mean, yeah, and just, you know, different variations of things like it's appreciated

434
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:36,360
by the teachers and instructors and choreographers, but it's not everything all the time.

435
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:37,360
Right.

436
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:38,360
Right.

437
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:39,360
Yeah.

438
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:40,360
Right.

439
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,480
So there's some times where you can watch a piece where the entire two and a half minute

440
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:49,240
piece is basically turns and tricks and there's just a very little bit of artistry.

441
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:50,240
You know what you mean?

442
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:54,560
And not to say that it's not beautiful and amazing because it is and the work that's

443
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,680
needed to accomplish that is huge.

444
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,120
But sometimes, you know, you're looking for a little bit more, a little bit more of a

445
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:02,120
connection.

446
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:06,080
So here's my question on that because we have, you know, we have my mom on.

447
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,880
First of all, Miss Kristen is a huge fan of the podcast and we love that she listens.

448
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,880
So I know we, I know she knows what we're talking about.

449
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:18,760
But our mom has trouble with judging or competitions because she she used to judge and she was

450
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:24,120
horrible at it because she doesn't know how you can put one dance against another because

451
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:25,120
it's so subjective.

452
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,480
What do you what do you say?

453
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,120
Well your mom is a true artist.

454
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,200
So I know exactly how she's looking at it.

455
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:39,080
Yes and no, because now the the competitive game has changed a little bit and how you

456
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,880
were judged or adjudicated, so to speak, is a little different.

457
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:47,680
Sometimes you're competing just against yourself and you're just being judged or adjudicated

458
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,760
on what you bring to the table.

459
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:53,600
You know, now, of course, with every comp, there is, you know, places, you know, you

460
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,920
want everybody wants to place.

461
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,080
So now it takes a little bit of a switch.

462
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:02,080
Everybody is not so concerned with where I individually came in, but like, where do we

463
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:03,080
come in overall?

464
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,080
Overall, that's where it leaves that like for the studio.

465
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:07,080
Over.

466
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:08,080
Yes, for their piece.

467
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:09,080
For their piece.

468
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:10,080
Okay, yeah.

469
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:11,080
Gotcha.

470
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:12,080
Does that have a factor?

471
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:16,080
Like, do you know each studio and know what should be coming from them?

472
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:20,080
No, no, no, no, not every studio.

473
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:21,080
Individual.

474
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:22,080
Absolutely.

475
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,160
And you don't know exactly what anybody is going to do.

476
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,800
Everybody really does their best every competition season to put their best foot forward, you

477
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:35,080
know, which is appreciated because, you know, when you're sitting there judging a competition,

478
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:40,560
you can be watching multiple, multiple dances in the same category.

479
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:41,560
You know what I mean?

480
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:45,080
Like contemporary, you could be watching over 100 contemporary solos.

481
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:46,080
Are you kidding me?

482
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:47,080
Oh, yeah.

483
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,080
Oh, do you say over 100?

484
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:50,080
Yeah.

485
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:51,080
Larger competition.

486
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:52,080
Larger competitions.

487
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:53,080
Absolutely.

488
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:54,080
How do you pick one?

489
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:55,400
Well, that's what I'm saying.

490
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:59,800
You are judging that soloist for what they are bringing to the table and then depending

491
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,480
upon their scores, that's how they would do their ranking.

492
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:03,640
I would be horrible.

493
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:04,640
Me too.

494
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,760
I would be flipping back going, wait, what do I like about this one?

495
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:11,480
And trying to remember, but you have scoresheets and there's like the whole process.

496
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:12,720
It's audio like this.

497
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:13,720
You talk.

498
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:19,000
There is most, most judging panels, you're not writing anything till the very end.

499
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:20,640
You're talking into video.

500
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,120
You're talking, so you're giving all your critiques and all of your comments and all

501
00:18:24,120 --> 00:18:26,120
of those things on video.

502
00:18:26,120 --> 00:18:29,320
And then at the very end, you know, who watches the video?

503
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:34,440
Well, it's sent to the studio owners and then they reviewed the choreographers review them

504
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:39,240
with the students and oh, my gosh, send it out to the parents.

505
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:40,920
But you know, so everybody.

506
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:44,320
That is what your opinion is.

507
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,000
What your my God, you can't even be anonymous.

508
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,160
Yeah.

509
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:49,800
What if you hate it?

510
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,400
What if you have nothing positive to say about the dance?

511
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,240
Well, you have to have something to offer.

512
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,440
Everybody can find something to offer.

513
00:18:58,440 --> 00:18:59,440
You may not.

514
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,680
It may not be something that you would choose.

515
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:05,360
But at the end of the day, at the very least, you have to appreciate that person's work

516
00:19:05,360 --> 00:19:07,520
and effort they put into it.

517
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:08,520
Right.

518
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:12,480
I mean, I guess it may not be a piece of music that you love or something you connect with.

519
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:16,000
You can find something positive in anything that you watch.

520
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:17,800
I'd be like trash.

521
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:21,400
Don't ever do this again.

522
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:22,400
What were you thinking?

523
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:23,400
Well, it weren't.

524
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:24,400
I'm embarrassed.

525
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:25,400
I'm unemployed.

526
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:36,440
Well, I had to choreograph a piece for a Miss, New Jersey, like what do you call them?

527
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:37,440
A beauty pageant.

528
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:38,440
A beauty pageant.

529
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,200
Clearly, I'm not a scholarship program.

530
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:42,760
Clearly, not in the game.

531
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,840
So I believe that's what they're called.

532
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:46,840
There was a movie about it.

533
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:47,840
I'm laughing really hard.

534
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,320
OK, anyway, I think I did a beauty pageant.

535
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:51,320
A beauty pageant.

536
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:52,320
You did.

537
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:56,120
And I had to choreograph and they didn't win.

538
00:19:56,120 --> 00:19:58,040
My mom and I did it together, actually.

539
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:03,320
And the number one comment on her thing was there weren't enough tricks.

540
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:04,960
It was too Broadway.

541
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:10,960
It was too stylized and not enough, you know, what they want in a competition, which we

542
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:12,360
are my mom and I aren't.

543
00:20:12,360 --> 00:20:13,360
But there's a mix.

544
00:20:13,360 --> 00:20:14,480
There is a mix.

545
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:15,760
There is a mix.

546
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,040
At the end of the day, it's three people's opinion.

547
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,000
You have to respect it, but you can't let it wreck you.

548
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:22,000
You can't let it wreck you.

549
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,680
You know, for a kid, it is, but you have to build that now.

550
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:28,640
And if you want a career in this industry, you've got to develop a thick skin so you

551
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,920
can't let it take you to the floor, right?

552
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:33,680
At the end of the day, it's three people's opinions.

553
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,240
I'll take what you told me to work on.

554
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,120
I'll work on it.

555
00:20:37,120 --> 00:20:41,960
But if I love this and you got to push forward with what's in your gut, you've got to go

556
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:46,880
with your gut because at the end of the day, your artistry and being authentic over overwins

557
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:47,880
and overshadows everything.

558
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,520
I mean, that's a life lesson for everything.

559
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:54,440
But if you're going to be a kid in competition world in the dance world, you're not just

560
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:55,440
a kid.

561
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:56,440
You're a dance kid.

562
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:57,440
So there's a difference.

563
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:58,440
Yeah.

564
00:20:58,440 --> 00:20:59,440
So you have to already understand that stuff.

565
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:00,440
We were not that.

566
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:01,440
No.

567
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,000
So we would have cried a lot.

568
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:05,000
We would have.

569
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:06,800
And it's hard to say that the kids don't cry.

570
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:07,800
Yeah, yeah.

571
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:08,800
They do.

572
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:14,800
But and and I there's a large majority that are expressing that to their students.

573
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,680
Like at the end of the day, it's three people's opinions.

574
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:21,280
This time we do it better, we do it bigger and let's move on from it.

575
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,200
Let's take the learning lesson, use it as the tool that it is.

576
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:25,200
Right.

577
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:26,720
So that's what it should be.

578
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:28,040
It's a learning lesson.

579
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,000
We take the tools, we take what we got from it and we push it forward.

580
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:32,000
Yeah.

581
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:36,680
I can see you being a very helpful judge for sure.

582
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,640
How many how many golds do you have?

583
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:39,640
Do you even know?

584
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:40,640
Like so many.

585
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,120
Like do you win gold?

586
00:21:42,120 --> 00:21:45,760
Is that how you're do you win like first place gold?

587
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:46,760
Well.

588
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:47,760
Depending upon.

589
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:49,760
She's laughing at you.

590
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:50,760
Yeah, I'm not.

591
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:55,480
I'm not because it really depends on how each competition does it because competitions

592
00:21:55,480 --> 00:22:00,000
are so varied in their scoring systems and they're you know, you have Diamond and Ruby

593
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:01,520
and Sapphire and Platinum.

594
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:02,520
I'm sorry.

595
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:03,520
What?

596
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:11,440
So gold, gold is kind of if we're doing in a true adjudication in many competitions,

597
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,160
gold is third place, right?

598
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,280
Because you have rose gold.

599
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,560
Sterling silver.

600
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,760
Brushed, brushed gold bronze.

601
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:25,280
So you would have platinum, you would have high gold and then you would have gold.

602
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:29,600
So if you're trying to equate it to per second and third, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, gold is

603
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,200
technically I mean, trash.

604
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,120
No, no one is trash.

605
00:22:35,120 --> 00:22:36,680
Not even a silver.

606
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:37,680
No one is trash.

607
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:43,040
It takes a lot to get up and to do this in front of hundreds of people and to try to

608
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:44,040
put your best foot forward.

609
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:48,840
And sometimes it hits and sometimes it doesn't, but it's never trash.

610
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:50,840
It's trash.

611
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,360
Bill.

612
00:22:53,360 --> 00:22:54,360
Really, Carly?

613
00:22:54,360 --> 00:22:55,360
Yes.

614
00:22:55,360 --> 00:22:58,840
Can you guys hear and feel that?

615
00:22:58,840 --> 00:22:59,840
We got one.

616
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:00,840
Can you feel it?

617
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:02,840
Something tells me there's going to be another.

618
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:06,160
I'm going to put that on the loop.

619
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:10,560
In saying all of that, now I got to get back get back in it, Miss Kristen.

620
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,720
I got to get my serious hands on.

621
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:19,200
Have you noticed any difference between kids before TikTok and like the dancers, specifically

622
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:23,200
dancers pre-TikTok versus now?

623
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:24,200
Is there a difference?

624
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,880
Maybe there isn't other than the fact that while you're trying to teach class sometimes

625
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:31,280
they're doing TikTok dances instead of focusing on what they're supposed to be doing with

626
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:32,280
their instructor.

627
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:33,280
Yeah.

628
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,440
Other than that, it's a big one.

629
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:36,640
It's not wild.

630
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,080
But like even that comes with a respect factor.

631
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:45,240
I would never have been openly doing and we didn't have TikTok, but I wouldn't be rehearsing

632
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:49,560
another dance class's dance while the current teacher in front of me is trying to teach

633
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:50,560
me something.

634
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:51,560
Like it's wild.

635
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,040
It's so wild to my brain.

636
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:54,640
That's why you're you and wonderful.

637
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,800
But I also think it was a different part of the generation.

638
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:57,800
Absolutely.

639
00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:58,800
Absolutely.

640
00:23:58,800 --> 00:23:59,800
Why is that?

641
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:00,800
It's not acceptable.

642
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:02,800
But like why do they think that that's acceptable?

643
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,000
Or is there not even a thought process?

644
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,560
I don't think there's a thought process to be honest.

645
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,360
I feel like, hey, I'm a dance class and I'm dancing.

646
00:24:10,360 --> 00:24:11,360
I'm dancing.

647
00:24:11,360 --> 00:24:12,360
There's a mirror.

648
00:24:12,360 --> 00:24:14,360
You know, let me let me do it.

649
00:24:14,360 --> 00:24:18,400
For the most part, I feel like when I I'm like, yo, guys, stop.

650
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,560
Oh, I didn't even know I was doing it.

651
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:21,560
Yeah.

652
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:22,560
I know.

653
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:23,560
You don't know.

654
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:24,560
You don't know.

655
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:25,560
Yeah.

656
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:26,560
They really don't know.

657
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:27,560
They just start and going.

658
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:28,560
Yeah.

659
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:29,560
It's a different problem.

660
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:30,560
No, that's right.

661
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:31,560
I mean, I think that's definitely a respect thing.

662
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,120
I would be scared to death to do that to any of my teachers, let alone Ms. Kristen's

663
00:24:34,120 --> 00:24:35,120
class.

664
00:24:35,120 --> 00:24:36,120
Oh my gosh.

665
00:24:36,120 --> 00:24:39,120
I'm absolutely not, which we are painting you to be this fear for her.

666
00:24:39,120 --> 00:24:41,120
I'm just going to say, I'm not.

667
00:24:41,120 --> 00:24:42,120
No, no, no.

668
00:24:42,120 --> 00:24:43,120
Wow.

669
00:24:43,120 --> 00:24:44,120
She's not at all.

670
00:24:44,120 --> 00:24:45,120
Not a villain just.

671
00:24:45,120 --> 00:24:46,120
I get it.

672
00:24:46,120 --> 00:24:47,120
I own it.

673
00:24:47,120 --> 00:24:48,120
I'm good.

674
00:24:48,120 --> 00:24:49,120
She's a Ruby.

675
00:24:49,120 --> 00:24:50,120
She's a Ruby.

676
00:24:50,120 --> 00:24:51,120
She's a Ruby.

677
00:24:51,120 --> 00:24:52,120
I don't know.

678
00:24:52,120 --> 00:24:53,120
What's the highest?

679
00:24:53,120 --> 00:24:54,120
Platinum.

680
00:24:54,120 --> 00:24:55,120
Platinum.

681
00:24:55,120 --> 00:24:56,120
What's high?

682
00:24:56,120 --> 00:24:57,120
High Platinum.

683
00:24:57,120 --> 00:24:58,120
Thank you.

684
00:24:58,120 --> 00:24:59,120
Oh, Platinum.

685
00:24:59,120 --> 00:25:00,120
Damn it.

686
00:25:00,120 --> 00:25:01,120
God.

687
00:25:01,120 --> 00:25:02,120
She is the highest Platinum.

688
00:25:02,120 --> 00:25:03,120
That's it.

689
00:25:03,120 --> 00:25:09,360
I feel like I noticed it a little bit in their attention span.

690
00:25:09,360 --> 00:25:13,120
Like they can't come back next week and remember what you did.

691
00:25:13,120 --> 00:25:14,120
100%.

692
00:25:14,120 --> 00:25:16,120
Can you video this so we can watch it?

693
00:25:16,120 --> 00:25:17,120
But they don't watch it.

694
00:25:17,120 --> 00:25:18,120
But they don't watch it.

695
00:25:18,120 --> 00:25:20,120
But I think a lot of has to do with, think about it.

696
00:25:20,120 --> 00:25:25,120
When you guys were dancing, you went to school, maybe you had a job, maybe you didn't, maybe

697
00:25:25,120 --> 00:25:26,120
you.

698
00:25:26,120 --> 00:25:27,120
Deft didn't play.

699
00:25:27,120 --> 00:25:28,880
Like maybe you were in a school play.

700
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,040
Maybe you, somebody played soccer or something.

701
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,280
And then you went to dance classes.

702
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:38,240
And then when you came home, you either practiced your dance routines or you worked on your

703
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:39,440
play, you did your homework.

704
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:43,440
Now with social media and TikTok and everything, they're constantly going.

705
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:44,600
They're constantly moving.

706
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,640
Their minds are constantly in a million different places at a million different times and a

707
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,200
million different things.

708
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:58,480
So they're not able really to retain what you would because that's what you're doing.

709
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,000
They're doing a million different things.

710
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,520
So then how do you get them competition ready?

711
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:06,120
Because I feel like the caliber of getting through classes with the timeframe that you

712
00:26:06,120 --> 00:26:09,960
have, I don't know how long it takes to get to like from the beginning of the year to

713
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:13,600
your competition performance.

714
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:15,800
But how do you keep that momentum?

715
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:20,640
I mean, most competitive learning is not done in regular weekly class.

716
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:25,760
It's done either on a Saturday or a Sunday in classes that are designated for comp.

717
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:26,760
Yeah.

718
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:27,760
This is all about comp.

719
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:28,760
You know what he means?

720
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:29,760
Only.

721
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:30,880
Yes, Mrs. Krisci.

722
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:32,000
Miss Krisci.

723
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:33,100
Yes.

724
00:26:33,100 --> 00:26:34,500
M.K.

725
00:26:34,500 --> 00:26:35,540
Miss Krisci.

726
00:26:35,540 --> 00:26:37,300
Yes, Farley.

727
00:26:37,300 --> 00:26:42,080
What is your favorite story to tell about Victoria?

728
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:46,200
When you think of Victoria and you tell a story or you have a thought, what is it?

729
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,140
I don't like how you're asking this person.

730
00:26:48,140 --> 00:26:50,340
I like the tone in your voice.

731
00:26:50,340 --> 00:26:51,340
My favorite story.

732
00:26:51,340 --> 00:26:52,340
Or just-

733
00:26:52,340 --> 00:26:54,700
I don't know if I have a favorite story but I will.

734
00:26:54,700 --> 00:26:55,920
Because they're all good.

735
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:56,920
They are.

736
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,340
She hates me.

737
00:26:59,340 --> 00:27:04,180
She's one of the most hardest working students I've ever encountered in my entire career.

738
00:27:05,020 --> 00:27:08,980
I'm not a variable Bible period.

739
00:27:12,060 --> 00:27:13,820
Bible period.

740
00:27:14,980 --> 00:27:16,020
Bible period.

741
00:27:16,020 --> 00:27:17,580
Bible. No cap.

742
00:27:17,580 --> 00:27:18,580
None.

743
00:27:21,260 --> 00:27:24,260
I will say I I would fight you a lot.

744
00:27:25,420 --> 00:27:27,420
In my head.

745
00:27:27,420 --> 00:27:28,300
Mostly.

746
00:27:28,300 --> 00:27:33,380
No, I would outwardly fight you because you always wanted to put me in the middle and I never wanted to be in the middle.

747
00:27:33,380 --> 00:27:35,380
Guess who wanted to be in the middle back?

748
00:27:35,780 --> 00:27:37,340
Yes, she's pointing to herself.

749
00:27:37,340 --> 00:27:42,180
Carly wanted to be up front in the middle at all times and if she wasn't she was like

750
00:27:42,660 --> 00:27:48,220
Me well, here's how mean I was I wanted to be in the back Victoria was always you didn't belong in the back

751
00:27:49,980 --> 00:27:51,180
Really?

752
00:27:51,180 --> 00:27:53,180
Oh, no, you can't do it.

753
00:27:53,780 --> 00:27:56,700
You can't do it. It was even a laugh as it came out

754
00:27:56,700 --> 00:27:58,900
Victoria was the effort though.

755
00:28:00,700 --> 00:28:08,300
Hey, for effort when we were little Victoria was always a stronger dancer than I was more confident dancer even when she was younger

756
00:28:08,420 --> 00:28:13,900
But I would never allow her to be in my dance class and yeah, I'm aware

757
00:28:15,460 --> 00:28:18,380
You can't really do that except our mom owned to the studio

758
00:28:18,620 --> 00:28:22,580
So I would be like mom I won't dance if she's in my class

759
00:28:22,580 --> 00:28:29,300
I will not dance, but she was better than our level and I she wasn't she never danced with us

760
00:28:29,300 --> 00:28:34,420
And we kept her back and we held her down. I never dance. Yeah, she's in therapy now for it. So

761
00:28:35,380 --> 00:28:38,500
So I'm sorry about that in my classes. I just remember

762
00:28:39,180 --> 00:28:43,140
Being like oh my gosh, miss Kristen. I'm gonna kill you stop putting me in the middle

763
00:28:43,140 --> 00:28:45,900
I don't want to do the 14 seconds solo

764
00:28:46,900 --> 00:28:48,900
and also I

765
00:28:49,100 --> 00:28:51,100
Don't want to get on the floor

766
00:28:51,100 --> 00:28:55,740
And I was like miss Kristen put me in the middle. I love solos and I'm my own

767
00:28:56,580 --> 00:28:58,580
question did you do the solo I

768
00:28:59,580 --> 00:29:01,780
Did everything you told me to do. Oh, thank you

769
00:29:02,780 --> 00:29:05,100
Even now I do everything you told me to do oh

770
00:29:06,340 --> 00:29:11,140
Miss Kristen, but did you teach Carly? Yes. Are you joking me?

771
00:29:11,660 --> 00:29:18,340
Are you joking me? Yes, love. I do. She has a very weird non-existent memory. It's called disassociation

772
00:29:18,340 --> 00:29:24,540
Yeah, I don't know what I don't remember a lot of her. Yes. She taught me hip-hop tat lyrical ballet

773
00:29:25,380 --> 00:29:27,380
What else you're still smiling human

774
00:29:34,460 --> 00:29:40,420
Listen, I mean I was a happy student. Yes. I I was very happy

775
00:29:41,500 --> 00:29:47,100
What's your favorite memory of Carly then being amazing? Of course

776
00:29:47,100 --> 00:29:49,100
um, I

777
00:29:50,100 --> 00:29:52,100
Remember her always

778
00:29:52,420 --> 00:29:55,580
Viving and fighting for the middle. Yes. I was which

779
00:29:56,940 --> 00:30:03,740
But I do I remember her other than the floor work other than the floor work. I don't like always always

780
00:30:05,500 --> 00:30:11,180
Ready and willing to try you know what I mean like whatever I threw I don't think I'm similar to you in very you know

781
00:30:11,180 --> 00:30:14,940
What I mean like okay, let's try other than the floor other than though I did get her there twice

782
00:30:14,940 --> 00:30:21,200
Yeah, only twice. Uh-huh in lyrical and you brought out wait wait. I know the story the day I had to pull out the mat

783
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:25,700
I was just gonna bring that. Oh my god. Yeah, I cried I

784
00:30:26,340 --> 00:30:28,340
Couldn't and it wasn't

785
00:30:28,500 --> 00:30:32,980
Let me go on the record. It wasn't something crazy. It wasn't something crazy

786
00:30:33,180 --> 00:30:38,500
Everybody was trying and she was a hot mess. I'm like fine. Let's just put out a mat. Can you try it on a mat?

787
00:30:39,300 --> 00:30:41,300
And it was like one of those you know those

788
00:30:41,300 --> 00:30:48,500
Back rollovers that everybody does you know in their sleep now. Yeah, well it was new to me and I was not

00:30:48,700 --> 00:30:52,260
You know five doing it. I was like 16 doing it

790
00:30:52,260 --> 00:30:57,260
Well, you're afraid of everything I know and she had to after 20 minutes of fighting me about it

791
00:30:57,260 --> 00:31:01,500
She put out the gym mats and she was like do it and I still couldn't do it get on the mat

792
00:31:01,500 --> 00:31:06,100
Yeah, yeah, and she was mad couldn't be as you didn't want to try as I was afraid. I

793
00:31:06,100 --> 00:31:12,380
I'm mad right now and me being afraid is like no miss Chris, then no because here's the thing

794
00:31:12,620 --> 00:31:15,340
That's not how that was presented. I'm afraid

795
00:31:16,220 --> 00:31:21,100
You know what I mean? That's difference you can work through fears and you can get somebody there not everybody

796
00:31:21,540 --> 00:31:26,420
Instantaneously goes on the floor and flips over backwards. It's a process. Yeah, my lovely friend

797
00:31:28,020 --> 00:31:30,540
AKA Carly I want to be in the middle of time

798
00:31:30,540 --> 00:31:36,220
I didn't even want to give it a go. Yeah, you know me my things just give it a try if it doesn't work

799
00:31:36,220 --> 00:31:40,540
It doesn't work. Let's just try it. Yeah, you don't know until you try it. Yeah, that's not Carly's way of

800
00:31:41,500 --> 00:31:47,180
Trying anything you cried. Yeah, I cried because I got because I got miss Kristen upset

801
00:31:47,180 --> 00:31:50,980
And I like went home and I cried to mom because I was like oh she didn't cry to me

802
00:31:50,980 --> 00:31:56,680
No, I cried mom no because I got miss Kristen upset. I thought she was mad at me. No, yeah

803
00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:02,920
She was disappointed in you. That's worse. Oh, it's worse. Her expectations were lower

804
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:04,920
But guess what she never asked me to go on the floor again

805
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,240
She's like what a waste of a class

806
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:14,720
What's your favorite style, but I'm I know

807
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,640
It's tap right

808
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:23,640
But tap has always been that is my soul your feet are the fastest things I've ever seen in my life

809
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:30,200
Save me on Glover or Gregory Hines right Savion Glover Gregory Hines pick one

810
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,720
I can't it's impossible. It's impossible to best tapers in the world. It's impossible

811
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,040
It's impossible to do. Yeah cool

812
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:43,560
Good question Carly. I will tell you I will tell you because I did meet them both. They are just such

813
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:49,920
War well war for Gregory. Yeah Savion is just the most amazing human on the planet. What was he bringing the noise bringing a funk?

Right, so you need to you need to know a little bit about the greats in what you want to do, right?

819
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,840
So if you're a runner and you don't know who Carl Lewis is

820
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:17,080
You know what I mean? Yeah, same kind of thing if you love soccer and you don't know who David Beckham is

821
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,080
You know what I mean? Yes, I that's more doable

822

862
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:18,160
Must haves for like the best costume

You know because it's a winning genre. Oh

00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,200
Like I feel like there's sparkles in sequence

866
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:34,680
For sure if it's something that calls for it absolutely if you're gonna give it give it

All right, not lyrical for like a jazz music leader tap number. Sure. Give me

00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:45,440
Feathers give me sequence. Give me a sleek silhouette. Give me some

Legs and feet being all the same color

871
00:36:56,920 --> 00:37:00,080
Right like tan all the way down. You're not yet tan all the way down

872
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:05,120
Like if you're wearing something that has shorts or tan if you're going with tan tan all the way down

876
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:20,880
Black shear to keep everything the same color and God cuz it draws your eye

877
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:24,600
But sometimes not in the best way and it cuts off your legs

At the end of the day competitive studio

887
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:18,520
Non-compete the goal is the same to instill the love of dance whether you want to compete and

888
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:24,880
Take it to that performing level or you just want to come every week and dance with your friends through high school and

889
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,120
Look back on an amazing experience at the end of the day

890
00:38:28,240 --> 00:38:31,960
It's about giving that love of dance and opening up so many minds to it

891
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,880
So whichever you choose just choose the one that's best for you

892
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:39,060
Amazing and guess what you can have miss Kristen in both of those

893
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:46,640
Areas you can have her in the competition studio and you can also have her in the non competition studio and we are very grateful for that

894
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:53,620
So we hope you remember you are always fit to be real and always allowed to be a little extra

895
00:38:57,920 --> 00:38:59,920
