? How low can you twerk? ?

? How low can you twerk? ?

? How low can you twerk? ?

? How low can you twerk? ?

? Got no valentine ?

? Got no valentine ?

? Nigga, that's a lot ?

? I been out
chasin' dollar signs ?

? I been out ?

So, where's
the after party?

This is the after party.

Hands down,
the best breakfast in town.

Oh, man,
I could just keep going.

Everybody in that
party was so in sync.

-You don't even need words.
-Mm-hmm.

That break dance crew,
who were they?

You know it's 7:00 am, right?

Yes, I know.

It's just I haven't had
that much fun dancing in a long time.

Really? You didn't have fun
dancing up in High Water with Sage Odom?

No, it was fun.
It was fun.

It was just stressful
because, you know, everybody

-was judging me all the time.
-Mm.

Even at my old school everything
had to be perfect, you know?

I could never just
live in the moment.

I was always thinking
about what's next.

I never think
about what's next.

-Never?
-Never.

You have to be
planning your next party.

-I guess it'll be tomorrow.
-You guess it'll be tomorrow?

-You are so loud,
you know that? -[both laughing]

Can you look in the glove box
and give me some hot sauce?

-Uh, what is all this?
-Thank you, last night's door.

You don't want to put it
in the bank or something?

Right now, it's burrito time,

then sleep time,
then bank time.

[both laughing]

[items clattering]

Oh, shit.

Are you seriously
just getting in?1

J, tell me you
weren't out all night.

Shh. Okay, here comes
the curfew police.

-And, you're drunk? Great.
-First of all, I am not drunk.

I was drunk and high,
but now I'm just exhausted.

-Wait, wait,
you're high? -Shh.

J, what the fuck is going on?
Suddenly you're the girl

who runs out in the
middle of the night

with a boy, with Dondre?

Here we go again
with this Dondre drama, okay.

I already told you
we're just friends,

so can you please hold it down?

I just-- I just need to sleep.

Yeah, well not
that you care,

but I covered for you again.

Uncle Al already left for work.

[sighing]

Wait, our-- our boxes
from Ohio came?

That's all your stuff.
I already unpacked my box.

Yeah, one box.
Singular.

[sighing]

Oh, my God, I got in?

I got in!

New plan.

Ohio State University
in the fall.

-You got the cheer scholarship?
-Yep!

[laughing]

But, whoa this--
this is just a partial.

How are you gonna come up
with the rest of the money?

I don't know.
I'm gonna figure it out, though.

I thought you didn't
want to go to college.

Well, I didn't
get into High Water,

so what else am I gonna do?

You know you'll have to
finish high school, so--

Yeah, I'll get my GED.
Tal, hello?

This is a good thing.

Do you want to live
that far apart?

Well, no, Tal.

But, look, you have
a lot of good things

going for you at
High Water, okay?

Maybe even a shot
at Sage's tour.

Yeah, right. I'm hanging
onto to High Water

with tricks and screens.

I can't dance like
the other guys,

but sure,
I'll make the world tour.

Yes, you can, okay?

You can learn hip-hop,
I know it,

and once you do that,
I know you'll get a shot

on Sage's tour.

You just can't let those
assholes intimidate you.

[sighing]

Yo, we need to
round out our crew

with the best of
the new blood, and she's it.

Oh, fuck no, and why
do you get to decide?

I'm not deciding,
I'm just stating facts.

Look, we've all seen
how dope she is.

[scoffs]
Whatever.

-You gonna dance in that shit?
-I'm not staying.

Sage hooked me up with
one of his producers,

and I'm gonna work
on some new music.

Hell yeah, man.
That's the kind of one-up that we need.

So when we getting
in the studio?

Ah, he didn't say anything
about bringing anyone else,

so I just don't want to
piss him off, you know?

Nah, man, I get it.
It's all good.

Aight, cool. But, hey,
come by later, though.

Yeah, I'll see
what I can do.

And try not to fuck it up.

-Hey.
-What?

-I'm Tal, by the way.
-I know who you are.

What do you want?
You need something?

Yeah, yeah.
Um, I need your help.

You're like--
You're arguably, like,

the best dancer
in the whole school.

Yeah, well, that's something
that we already know.

Right, and I'm the only one
who can't dance hip-hop.

Dance hip-hop?
Okay, I can't.

Look, whatever it is,
I just need some help.

Look, you need help,
but not with your moves.

I saw that crazy-ass audition,
that crazy-ass greyhound thing.

It's all dope,
so why you playing?

How about you hit up my
Insta if want some of my moves.

Look, I'm not dope,
and I don't have Instagram.

Boy, bye. If you gonna be
in this school, you need to stay current.

Instagram, Twitter,
it's all part of the game.

Sage sees that,
and is gonna for sure

take that into account
when he's doing the tour.

Yeah, but social media
gives me hives.

-I just don't see the point.
-Okay, I can't do this.

Either you in or you ain't,
and clearly you ain't,

so you can go back to
being in the '90s now.

Hey, where's
your boy, Davis?

I don't know.
Haven't seen him since yesterday.

But no, you killed at
that show at the Public.

You know, I remember your
audition for it, as well.

You did a pretty
good job yourself.

Well, thank you,
thank you.

Too bad nobody believed
I was 18, though.

The consolation prize
wasn't that bad

because you took me
to dinner.

Uh, I think
you followed me to Papaya King,

ate your hot dog,
ate my hot dog.

-Maybe you had been
Snoop Dogging a little bit. -Shh, shh.

Good morning, guys.
Good morning.

Okay, okay. I am so excited
because I have been trying

to get this man here
for a year to teach you

the thing that he does
better than anyone

in the entire world.
So please, please make it

worth his time, and give
it up for the legendary Quincy Hobbs.

Thank you for that.

Thank you.
Good to see you all.

I want you
to find your sizes.

[taps clattering]

So, uh, I would like to
continue just talking to you

about, you know, some of
the history of the dance.

As far as I'm concerned,
this style of dancing...

when you're communicating,
it comes from a native place, all right?

So, let's start with the
rudiments that we were doing.

One, two, ready, hey.

[taps clattering]

I would like to
congratulate you all

on your exciting
journey of finishing

your high school education.

Now, who would like to
introduce themselves?

Hey, y'all,
I'm Rachel.

I'm a dancer, but I'm
thinking after this GED,

maybe being a
forensic attorney.

I love all that
Forensic Files shit.

Hey, I'm a dancer, too.

Really, where do you work?

Oh, more like an
aspiring dancer.

Gotcha, I'm at Velvet City.

Oh, you're a stripper?

Oh, I thought you meant
a real dancer.

[scoffs]
For your information, hon, in Atlanta,

the best dancers
are in strip clubs,

and the best of the best
strip Velvet fucking City.

If you've got a problem
with that, then--

[teacher clearing throat]

You have something
more important to say?

-Hmm?
-Nope.

[taps clattering]

[Quincy] Yeah.

Keep these famous, uh,
contributors in mind also.

Cats like Gregory Hines,
the Nicholas Brothers,

um, and everything they
had to go through

in order to get this dance
to a place of recognition,

you know what I mean?

[taps clattering]

An expression,
like, how do you feel?

Uh, I feel-- I feel good.

-You feel good?
-Yeah.

All right, let me hear how
"I feel good"

sounds through the dance.

Now, you gotta have
the conversation.

[taps clattering]

Yeah, you do your own thing.
You don't do my thing.

You express yourself,
you know what I mean?

We're gonna do
a little trade.

Yeah, so this was something
that the cats were doing,

and when I mention the cats,
I'm talking about some

very important men
and women of the dance.

Yeah, they would challenge
each other to be better.

[taps clattering]

Unh, unh, hey, oh, hey.

And how about you?
You all right?

I see you got the
personality thing going on,

but I need you to, you know,
execute the steps, yes?

-Yeah.
-Yeah, okay, maybe.

Let me see.

[taps clattering]

If you're not
speaking to the dance,

you ain't saying nothing.

And how about you?
You all right?

-Oh, yeah, yeah.
-All right, are you sure?

Uh, let's go over
a little bit of the routine

that we were doing
earlier, yeah?

Here we go.

Don't forget
about the music!

[Tal] Hey J, everything okay?

Tal, I'm stressing.
I called OSU,

and now that I'm out of state,
it's fucking expensive.

It's 11 grand for housing alone.

Hey, look, no worries.
After what?

Seven years at Wigs and Wangs,
you'll be all set.

Tal, come on, I already
told you I'm stressing.

You know me. I need to
have something to focus on.

I have to get to college.

All right, all right,
all right. I'm sorry,

but you have some time to figure
this out, okay, you do.

And listen, if there's one thing
I know about you is you can make miracles happen.

All right?
Look, I got to go.

I got to get to class,
but we can talk later, yeah?

Okay, all right, fine.
I'll see you at home.

-All right, I love you.
-Love you, too.

Bye.

[distant crowd cheering]

Come on, Judge Judy.
Break's over.

Look, I'm sorry. I didn't
mean to judge you earlier.

I was just, I was curious.

Sure you were.

[hip-hop music]

? Hurt in the best way ?

? Hurt in the best way ?

? Show me how to live
for the wrong bitch ?

All right, here we go.
Come check this playback.

? Hurt in the best way ?

Yo, Sage is gonna love this.
This shot is fire.

? Told me not to trust nobody ?

? But I really
wanna love somebody ?

What's up, man?

Uh, I'm Zayven.

This shit is fire, right?

Yeah. It's great.

-Y'all did all this already?
-Crazy, right?

We just flow, bruh,
like magic, man.

It takes me and you months
to do this kind of shit.

So, uh, when you gonna be
free to get on our track?

I don't know, man.
Whenever I'm done with this.

[Zayven] Hey, man,
we gotta hit this hook harder.

-Let's try this one again.
-All right, all right, my bad.

Yo, King, let me holla at you
a little later, all right?

-Okay, man.
-Oh, yo. I meant to tell you,

Sage is hooking it up
at Velvet City tonight,

and he said
I could bring a guest.

-Yo, are you serious?
-Yeah, man, so what you think

about me taking Odalie?
You know what I mean?

Gotta make sure the crew
is as tight as possible.

Yeah, uh... gotta do it
for the crew, right?

You already know, man.

Aight,
I'll holla at you.

[Zayven] All right.
Let's get it.

[taps clattering]

Oh, thanks for coming in.

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

Listen, I know
tap dancing can be

an extremely difficult art form
to learn and to process.

I saw you were having some
trouble with the routine.

Oh, yeah, a little bit, but I
think I'm starting to get it.

Okay. Want to go over
some of the stuff?

Sure.

Yeah, that's cool.

You know the G step?

Yeah, the G step. I see
I don't have to teach you that.

[both chuckle]

Where'd you train?

I, um, I watched
some YouTube videos.

Some YouTube videos?
Yeah, but you also trained.

Where?

Yeah, and High Water is a school

for underprivileged kids
in this neighborhood.

Yeah, it is.

But it's the only place
in the world like it.

I mean, it's the only place
I can follow my dreams

and actually become
a real artist.

I have to be here.
I have to.

Yeah, you know,
art lives in the truth.

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

Um...

All right, I'm gonna keep
this little information

between us, you know,
but as you progress,

you can only be the artist you
want to be if you stop hiding.

-Yeah.
-Yeah?

Mm-hmm.

You know,
you're a very talented dancer.

-I'll keep an eye on you.
-Seriously?

-Yeah.
-Cool.

When you start
working professionally,

you can be whoever
you want to be.

-I'll keep working.
-All right, and stop frontin'.

[laughing]
Okay, thank you.

All right.

[taps clattering]

[Janelle laughing]
Stop.

[Dondre] Janelle,
what are we doing here?

[Janelle] Just hold on,
be patient.

See, there we go.

This is what you
wanted to show me?

Yes. Dondre, come on.

[laughs]
I had this crazy idea.

What if you let me
help you throw your party tomorrow night?

-In a gym?
-Yeah... look.

I know it sounds crazy, but it's
gonna be next level, really?

Okay, I already asked.
Nobody's using the gym.

Look, I know you didn't
know me back in Ohio,

but I was the queen of throwing
bomb-ass pep rallies, okay?

Nobody works a basketball
court better than me.

Pep rallies,
that's cute.

Listen, I know that you're
probably Chef Curry with it...

-Just come on, okay?
-but, I'm not seeing it.

Just imagine this, okay?

-Basketball players
over there, -Mm-hmm.

Drinks over there.

Girls grinding on their
guys somewhere over there.

Hmm?

Yeah, you're making it
pretty hard for me to say no.

Look, I saw how much money
you can make from last night,

okay, doing what you do,
and I'm never gonna make

that amount of money
working at Wigs and Wangs, so...

Right, I know.
[laughing]

So, will you
let me help?

Please?

All right, I'm in.

-Wait, really?
-Yeah.

-Really?
-Yeah.

Mm.

Thank you. Oh, one more
little tiny little thing.

-Yeah?
-Um, I'm gonna need some cash, just for party expenses.

[laughing]

God, I feel like
I'm being used.

-Thank--
-Ahh.

[hip-hop music]

? Gotta watch me
Gotta watch me ?

? Stones on my wrist
like I'm Rocky ?

? Real over here
you a copy ?

? Pay per view, boy
you gotta comp me ?

? I do it for the team ?

? Yeah, I do it for the city ?

? I do it for the greens ?

? Yeah, I do it for a check ?

? I do it for the dream ?

? I ain't doing nothing less ?

? I do it for the ring
Homeboy puts it best ?

? Coming home now
get my Lebron on ?

? Dirty Sprite remix
in my Styrofoam ?

Damn, you lookin'... damn.

Thanks, I know.

Did Sage really
set all this up?

Yeah, and you know I'm gonna
make sure he hears all about you, too,

so you can eventually
get on this tour with me.

-I mean, that's why I'm here.
-[laughing]

-What's up, buddy?
-What's going on, man?

You must be Odalie.
Rigo won't stop talking about you.

-Seriously?
-Yeah. man, yo, you really gotta see this girl dance.

-She's on some next level shit.
-Cool, nice.

I'm looking forward to it.
Listen, I got some people

that would love to meet you
guys. I'm gonna go grab 'em.

Why don't you make yourselves
at home, all right?

Cool.

Can you believe this shit?

We're in the hottest club
in Atlanta right now.

Your music drops here and it
pops, you can make it anywhere.

Well, uh, I'm glad
you could make it out.

I almost didn't,
but, you know, I heard Future was gonna be here, so...

-Oh, I'm not good enough?
-No, you're kind of a dick.

It's working pretty well for me,
though. Don't you think?

Look, when you got a dad like
mine, it comes with some shit,

so you kinda learn
to keep your guard up.

Because of him, people treat me
like I'm a star already.

Half these motherfuckers
don't even know me,

so who am I supposed to trust?

-Actually, I kind of get that.
-Yeah?

Well, then you know how much
I need to make my own way out here.

I gotta make my own name,
maybe even get my dad out the streets.

My parents are pretty
overprotective, too.

So, tell me about
this Davis guy.

What's up with you and him?

He's cool and talented,

but he's got a lot
going on right now,

and I'm actually kind
of worried about him.

Well, look, I hope that don't
get in the way of High Water.

Sage told me we gotta
watch out for people

who could
take us off track.

You don't want to
get lost out here

trying to rescue
stray dogs.

What are you doing here?

Where did you get that?

Off your desk.

You can't just be
walking around here

like you own the place.

Is that how you talk
to all your investors?

You're also a parent.

Parents are not allowed
on campus anymore

without permission.

Can I have permission?

You're trying to
get back in, huh?

I'm trying to see
where my money is going.

Look at this.

This estimate
is steep as fuck.

Look at the quote.
He's overcharging you.

He's killing your budget.

And how would you know that?

Business is business,
and I runs mine.

All you got to do is
withhold on the payment

'til the shit is done.

I can do that?

If you look at the costs,

I got a guy
that can handle it.

How much will that save?

Let me do the numbers.

Okay.
[clears throat]

But then, when you're done,
you leave.

-Am I clear?
-I come and go as I please.

Showing up here like you did
was reckless and stupid,

and we can't be doing this.

Last time I checked,
reckless and stupid is what gets you going.

[heavy breathing]

So, we rep'd all the dancers
from the Formation tour.

This is Lexie,
she handles all the talent.

My man Mac is in charge
of digital influence.

Deals these guys
put together are no joke.

I told you.
This the big leagues.

It's crazy.

Excuse me for a second.

Don't be too long.

What are you doing here?

[scoffs]
I'm here looking for someone,

but no, no, don't act like I
didn't just see what I just saw.

Are you seriously here
with Rigo right now?

After all the shit you gave me
for going out with him.

Are you fucking him?

No, it's not
what it looks like.

This is a business
proposition.

Really, is it? Because it
doesn't look like one.

You know, I'll just
go ask him myself.

No, wait.
I know this looks weird,

but he's not
as bad as you think.

You know what he did to me.

I know how he rolls, Janelle,

but I promise you
this is different.

He wants the two of us
to be a team.

And you don't think he said
the exact same thing to me?

-I can handle him, Janelle.
-Really?

And what about Davis?

'Cause I thought you two
were supposed to be a team,

or are you only about
trading up now?

You know what? I'm doing
what I need to do to make it.

Sage might be
taking dancers on tour!

And that is your only goal

even if it means
without your friends?

Got it. Well,
good luck with that.

Hi, I'm looking for
a girl named Rachel.

Thank you.

Hey.

Well, hey, look who it is.

What, you need
some cash for school?

What? No.

'Cause you're kind of tiny,

but I guess we got some
boys that like that.

Um, thank you, but no.

Right now
I'm just looking for

some of the best dancers
for my party.

[scoffs] Hold on,
you're throwing a party?

Girl wearing a turtleneck
to a strip club?

Where, the Boys and Girls Club?

Yeah, kind of.

Did I mention
I could pay in advance?

All right.

[clearing throat]

-How do you stay so fine?
-You know what? It's late.

You know, you remember that
ratchet music video we did?

Man, I saw your
little ass wigglin',

and you got me
hooked right then.

Listen, don't play that

love-at-first-sight bullshit
with me, okay?

You only fuck with me
to get back at Sage,

and you know
what's pathetic?

Is that I use you
to do the same thing.

Sage helped me
create this school,

and we're doing something
great for these kids here,

kids the world doesn't
give a fuck about.

So, you trying
to save the world?

[scoffs]

Could you do me a favor?

Don't come sniffing around
here anymore, all right?

I'm serious.
Don't ruin this for me.

Can you do that, please?

You know,
I'm never gonna hurt you,

but when it comes to my son,

I'm gonna be standing
right over Sage's fucking shoulder.

I know you don't
wanna hear this, Ernest,

but Sage is
looking out for Rigo.

He's got a meeting
tonight at Velvet City.

[hip-hop music]

? Hurt in the best way ?

? Hurt in the best way ?

? Show me how to live ?

-Ooh, this shit is good.
-Yeah?

-Yeah.
-It's nice.

You know, you're exactly
the kind of artist we're looking for.

Thank you,
thank you, thank you.

You got that
raw, natural talent.

Listen, I'm not exaggerating
when I say I see gold,

platinum albums, even
private jets in your future.

Nice. Let's do it, man.
I'm ready to work.

Man, ever since I was a kid,
I had dreams to do this,

and I just, I'm ready...

[yelping]

-Stop!
-[Ernest] The fuck you doing?

Stop, Dad, stop!

Get off of me!

You keeping secrets from me?

What are you thinking?

If I am not a part
of what Sage is doing,

then it ain't right,
you understand me?

Why are you always
so down on Sage?

What'd he ever do to you?
Dad!

[grunting]

[coughing]

Jesus, boy.

Sage and I were partners,
you knew that right?

-Right?
-I guess so.

Well, we were.
Just like you and King.

We were gonna do this
music shit together.

Yeah, well why aren't
you then?

Because he don't got no
fucking loyalty, Rigo!

Sage, we all knew he
was gonna go places.

We all knew that shit.

But there was this one fool

who'd stand in his way.

He wasn't backing down,
so...

I handled that shit.

Yeah, I handled that
motherfucker on my own

just so Sage can get
his own record deal.

You know how he repaid me?

Do you?

Motherfucker dropped me
like I was nothing!

He left me
in the fucking dirt!

I did what
I had to do, son.

I can't go back from that.

I'm sorry.

I didn't know.

Well, now you do.

Dad?

[chill music playing]

I'm about to proposition you.

You know
you're not my type, right?

I'll help you, well, I'll try
to help you with some hip-hop.

Seriously?

-Cause...
-Eh!

Only if you help me
with this tap shit.

I'm surprised you even care
about tap dancing intensive.

Look, I like to stay
on top of my game.

I'm always killing it,
but this shit right here

is making me look bad.

So what the fuck is this flap
shit Quincy's talking about?

It's a simple move,
it's nothing.

Okay.
It's in the sound. Flap.

Right, but don't...
it's not about what it looks like, it's...

Tap's all about, you know,
sound and rhythm, you know?

It's expression.
So think about that.

Flap.

Flap. Bah!

-Bah!
-[both laughing]

All right, do you
remember the steps?

Eh, um.

We'll walk it.

Five, six, seven,
and...

-Okay, not bad, not bad.
-Better?

-From Sage.
-Who are you?

Sage's second assistant.

It's from his new line.
It hasn't even hit stores yet.

How lucky are you?
There's a note.

All right, guys, we have to
hit it hard, okay?

Okay, one, two, three, four,
one, two, three, bam, okay?

That's the only way
we stay in sync.

You doing the
booty shake too early.

-Feet land on five.
-Man, fuck this.

Look, any dance
I can't do in these shoes

is a waste of my time.

Where the fuck
are you guys going?

Janelle, obviously we have
a different way of moving,

one that's very
lucrative, I might add.

I know, but you guys
can learn this.

No one's got time
for that shit.

Either you can work
with what we do,

or you can find
some other dancers for your lame-ass party.

Okay. Okay.

Well, how would you do it?

Bitch, take notes.

This is how we get down.

Let's see it all together.

Hold, one, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three,
four, five, six.

Yo, that tap shit
was fucking hard.

-It's not that hard.
-Whatever.

Hey, this my cousin,
Kazoo.

-Yeah.
-Yo, what's up man?

Hey, play us
somethin' real quick!

Aight.

Now, can you at least
move like you from the A?

Dab, hit them folks,
nae nae?

-Not even fucking nae nae?
-What the fuck is that?

All right, let's try this.

How about you show me
what you got?

Well, that's the point.

Like, that was always
my sister's thing,

so I don't have anything.

Look, I saw your audition.

You had a couple
of hot moves in there

mixed with all that
contemporary shit.

That's just something
I got from some guy.

What guy?
You mean somebody else could be doing this tutoring shit?

No, well...
You know Dondre, right?

Yeah, everybody
knows Dondre.

Right, well, he's my neighbor,

and sometimes I watch him dance.

Whoa, wait.
You watch him?

[stammers]
I mean, like, for his moves!

[laughs]
I get it now.

-You're one of those.
-Wait, one of what?

You're a self-hater.

You only crush
on straight guys.

Always wanting,
never getting.

Well, thank you
for the insight, Dr. Love.

Seems like you got it all
figured out with Rigo, don't you?

-What's that supposed to mean?
-I may have my issues,

but at least they're not
fucking assholes.

Look, I just mean you take
so much shit from that guy,

and you're just as good as
he is, maybe even better.

Dance class has started.
Where's your phone?

-It's right there.
-Hey, Kazoo, turn the music up.

Now, stop worrying about
everyone looking at you,

-and just feel
the damn beat. -Okay.

[slow hip-hop beat]

Good.
Now follow.

Hey, record this shit.
And put your hat on.

? I came up
from nothin', nigga ?

? You can't tell me shit ?

Can you at least look like
you got a little bit of swag?

Okay, God!

-All right.
-I'm trying.

Just check this out.

Whoo, pow.

Ooh, and we throw it.

Hey, and hit.

Yeah, roll it.

Take it around, throw it up,
hit them folks.

What?

It's like
you're dunking a basket.

You ain't never played
basketball before?

No, I play lacrosse.

Oh, my God, listen,
hit them folks 101.

Take it, dunk that bit.

[dramatic music]

Hey, I got your message.
What was so urgent?

Is this where you
been hidin' all night?

Chill, just listen.

Hmm.

Hey, hey, hey.

Who is this?

-It's me.
-You?

This shit is fucking dope,
like, super dope.

You really think it's hot?

Bro, if you played this
at Velvet City,

the place would go crazy!

Producers will flip over this.

Any artist
would want to hop on it.

Any artist but me, right?

You know what I mean.

Like a real rapper,
like Sage or Rigo.

So, let me get this straight.

I can produce tracks for you
and Rigo to impress Sage,

and I can make stuff
for other producers,

but when I get on my own track,
it's like I'm invisible.

King, no. This sounds great,
I was just saying that maybe...

You know what? Um...

I got some more work
I gotta do, so if you don't mind.

You're not invisible to me.

[music gets louder]

So, uh, let me start
by saying thank you, all,

for allowing me
into your space this week.

It has been a lovely
experience for me.

Uh, I've really enjoyed myself.
I enjoyed the experience.

I enjoyed the exchange,
and I hope that you know

and you realize that,
um, Atlanta is filled

with such rich
and diverse artistry.

I hope you embrace that.
As far as the tap dancing goes,

I encourage you to
continue to explore

what we've shared in here.

I encourage you to be
the best you can be,

but for now, in this moment,

I want us to just
sorta loosen up

and just express ourselves
for a second

that is, like,
free from critique.

No audience,
just us, sorta vibing.

Okay, one, two, ready, hey.

[taps clattering]

I know that you're all
working really hard

to be a part of Sage's show
for the tour he has coming up,

but for now I want you
to just free yourself of that.

You know, no audience, just us,
free from critique,

just express yourself.

Let's hear from somebody.
Let's hear from you.

One, two, just express yourself,
one, two, ready, hey.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

One.

Two.

Three.

Four, yeah.

[taps clattering]

Uh-huh.

Sing the song!

The music!

Take your time!

All right, let's do it!

Whoo! Hey!

Unh, unh!

One, two,

one, two, three, hey!

[upbeat jazz music]

Oh!

Unh!

[scatting]

[cheering]

Whoo! Good job.

[man]
That shit was dope.

-Yeah.
-That was incredible!

Uh, do I see a little teary eye?

Are you getting soft
on me about this?

No, I'm fine. It's just...
This is everything

I've ever wanted
for this school, you know?

Well, congratulations to you,
and, you know,

let me have your attention,
please.

Um, it just so happens,
you guys have helped me as well.

Uh, I have a show
coming up in New York,

and I need a dancer,

and I was wondering...
you interested?

-Me?
-Yeah.

Yes! I want it!

-Good, congratulations.
-Thank you.

Congratulations,
Sage would be so proud of you.

Great work, great job.
Great job, everyone!

[class applauds]

-You're a professional now.
-I know!

-That's amazing.
-Yo, I couldn't have done this without you.

-You're welcome.
-Thanks. [laughing]

Congrats, Poppy.

Thank you, King.

-You good?
-Yeah, I'm good.

It's just Sage
has sent me this new coat.

It's straight fire, right?
And it's fur lined.

Yo, seriously, Pops,
this is like the best thing

-that's ever happened.
-I know, right?

This shit is,
like, professional.

I'm gonna get paid
and everything.

Did y'all not hear?

Sage hooked me up last night!

Velvet fucking City, fool, VIP.

Yo, we were sitting
right next to Future.

-No way.
-Yes way, ain't that right, Odalie?

Yeah, it was some
next level shit.

I'm talking
bottles of Hennessy.

Anyways, like I was saying,

I bet you Quincy can get me
some of those Hamilton tickets.

-Like...
-Yo, look, Pops, I'm happy for you.

You know, you're gonna have
a nice little week

doing your
little tap dance shit.

Excuse me?

I'm sorry,
but that ain't shit.

Sage is about to
guarantee me the tour.

That's a whole
fucking year.

What the fuck did
you just say to me?

What the fuck
is wrong with you?

Yo, seriously?

Pop, what the fuck
is wrong with you?

What the fuck you gonna do, huh?
Put hands on me?

-Watch me.
-Are you fucking serious?!

Don't you ever fucking
speak to me again.

Yo, King, can you
believe this shit?

Yeah, man.
You're a fucking dick.

[hip-hop music]

Fuck this shit.

[man] Yo, King.

What's up, man?

I got that new track
you was looking for,

but it's hot, so it's gonna
be about 350, you feel me?

Yo, keep them tracks
coming, man.

You're gonna get paid.

[people chattering]

Hey, here you go.
Sorry about that.

-How we doing?
-Doing good.

-Yeah?
-Mm-hmm.

Hey, girl.

I heard this was the hottest
party in town, congrats.

You got to be
kidding me, right?

-Hey, look, I just...
-No, no, no, hell no.

You out with this
asshole again?

So much for being
all business, Odalie.

They're not allowed in.

You two, you can go, bye.

Oh, it's like that?
