As the choreographer of Legendary, Tanisha Scott’s job is to ensure every house’s moves look polished and ready to wow the judges. With only three days of prep with a house before the b…
The competition is presented by Dashaun Wesley and judged Jameela Jamil, Leiomy Maldonado, Law Roach, and Keke Palmer. Each judge has something special that they are looking for in every ball, so Scott knows that each performance she choreographs needs to be clean, skilled, fashionable and entertaining.
I’m the one that helps them realize what they can do, what they can’t do and also remind them of the things that the judges are looking for.
Leiomy, hands down, is about skill, superstardom, and choreography – she’s an icon, so she can do all three. Not only has she created different moves, she choreographs too so she knows what choreography should look like and she knows how dynamic things can be. If she’s done it, she expects you to be able to do it too. She knows pretty much all the contestants and, if she didn’t, she can tell very quickly their capabilities and what their strengths are.
And when it comes to Keke, she’s looking for the entertainment because she’s new to ballroom. She wants every ball to give her the same reaction she had the first time she was introduced to ballroom. For her, it’s the entertainment of it all, like give me movements and choreography. She just wants it all because she’s coming from a performer’s perspective. Jameela’s coming from an actor’s perspective, Law is coming from a fashion perspective and Leiomy is all around in skill.
DEADLINE: Each of the houses obviously has experience with dancing and ballroom, but it seems like there’s sometimes a disconnect when it comes to choreography for the whole house.: The thing with ballroom is, there’s so many different categories and not every house is a performance house, so it’s the details of it all. Some just walk Runway, some just walk Face… you have so many different categories. Just because you’re a part of ballroom doesn’t mean that you can actually perform as a house.
