WHATSUPELLE: No, go.
I didn't want my clones coming today.
But if it's going to get us the gold, then we're just
going to have to figure out a way to put them in somehow.
Hey.
BRYAN TANAKA: What's up?
How you doing?
In-person Elle is just what I expected.
She came in smiling and just fun.
WHATSUPELLE: I lucked out.
BRYAN TANAKA: Yeah, I actually did too.
WHATSUPELLE: Nice.
So as my allegiance knows, I used to post dance videos on
my site, at least attempting to dance.
I became a mom recently.
BRYAN TANAKA: That's so awesome.
WHATSUPELLE: And as much as I am in love with my daughter, I
have not danced in over a year.
Something just happens when you have a baby.
You just feel uncoordinated.
I really wanted to do this to get back into it and to prove
to myself that I still got some groove in me.
I'm known on YouTube as WhatsUpELLE.
BRYAN TANAKA: You do have some dance ability
inside you I think.
WHATSUPELLE: Oh god.
BRYAN TANAKA: That I'm going to kind of challenge you a
little bit.
WHATSUPELLE: I don't have as many subscribers as some of
the contestants.
So I know that I really need to hit it *** the
technical aspect and essentially be the best dance.
BRYAN TANAKA: I work with a lot of different artists like
Rihanna and Beyonce and stuff.
And I'm actually going to start off showing you just a
little move that I did with Beyonce.
6, 7, 8, you go open, open, open, ha.
And, like, Beyonce's the Queen Bey.
So you can think of yourself as the queen E.
WHATSUPELLE: All right.
I like that.
BRYAN TANAKA: Yeah?
I just made that up.
WHATSUPELLE: That's good.
BRYAN TANAKA: Left, right, left, jump, jump.
That's good.
WHATSUPELLE: Seeing us in sync, and Bryan being this
famous choreographer, I'm like, this so cool.
I am having so much fun.
BRYAN TANAKA: The song that I'm going to be having Elle
perform to is called "Two Day Straight" by Na Palm.
So we partying for two days straight, yo.
We getting party up in here.
WHATSUPELLE: I have not done this in so long.
This is awesome.
I am totally relieved when I hear this song.
Because there's a clear beat.
It's got a great vibe.
It's fun.
[MUSIC - NA PALM, "TWO DAYS STRAIGHT"]
WHATSUPELLE: I actually might need a real shot before we do
this, but OK.
BRYAN TANAKA: I mean, it's a good way to warm up.
[MUSIC - NA PALM, "TWO DAYS STRAIGHT"]
BRYAN TANAKA: She came in super energetic and was on
point and catching everything in the beginning.
And then towards the end, she started to die
down a little bit.
WHATSUPELLE: I'm, like, tired after this amount of time.
BRYAN TANAKA: (WHISPERING) Maybe because you
didn't sleep that much.
WHATSUPELLE: Maybe.
BRYAN TANAKA: Elle came in to the rehearsal today with
barely any sleep the night before from her little one.
WHATSUPELLE: I'm not used to doing any physical activity,
let alone dance.
BRYAN TANAKA: And, one, two, three, whoa.
WHATSUPELLE: So I'm doing the spin.
I'm doing the spin.
I'm like, you better catch me because I'm just kind of
throwing myself out there.
I might very well end up on the floor.
Which I guess would work well with the theme of the song.
So take one for the team.
BOTH: One and two three four.
FEMALE SPEAKER: Hey.
WHATSUPELLE: You never know when the clones are
going to show up.
FEMALE SPEAKER: We're here.
WHATSUPELLE: You guys, this is supposed to be me time.
FEMALE SPEAKER: You might need us to win.
WHATSUPELLE: They may actually have a point on that one.
Do you think we could--
BRYAN TANAKA: Yeah, let's do it.
WHATSUPELLE: OK.
All right, you guys are in.
Let's go.
FEMALE SPEAKER: Yes.
BRYAN TANAKA: I was thinking right away, I was like, this
would be awesome to have in our video.
How am I going to make it work?
Just wait and see.
WHATSUPELLE: I want to prove that you can have a baby and
still get out there and rock it on the dance floor.
This is for Presley too, you guys.
I mean, the prize money, it's equally hers.
I don't want to pull on any heart strings, but--
All right, you guys.
