Speaker 2: Speaking of which, the popular Daddy Dance Off is returning
Speaker 2: as well. Have I got your attention? I hope so,
Speaker 2: because we're giving away a family four pack to the
Speaker 2: Bop Tour when it hits Anaheim on September twentieth, joining
Speaker 2: me to give us a preview. Are Kids Bop members
Speaker 2: Maddie and Aaliyah. Nice to meet you both. How are
Speaker 2: you this evening?
Speaker 4: How are you?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 2: Look, I've been waiting for this. I love the whole
Speaker 2: Kids Bop experience. Maddie, let me start with you. You're
Speaker 2: from New Jersey, so the entertainment business was farther away
Speaker 2: for you than most.
Speaker 3: What made you want to perform? Sing? Dance? What inspired you?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 5: Always when I was younger, I've always been a dancer
Speaker 5: my whole life. But honestly, like seeing videos of tour
Speaker 5: and kids Bob has always inspired me, like seeing videos online,
Speaker 5: and I've always loved performing on stage for dance, so
Speaker 5: that's always been my thing, so i just love doing it.
Speaker 5: And now I did my first show on Wembley in
Speaker 5: London and it was the coolest thing ever.
Speaker 3: So I'm super excited for Tourer.
Speaker 2: Well, I know the Wimbley experience was something special. You
Speaker 2: if I'm have I had this correctly? You said againness
Speaker 2: world record for the youngest performers to perform and perform
Speaker 2: sold out Wibley.
Speaker 3: Is that correct? Yes, yes, that is pretty amazing.
Speaker 4: Leah.
Speaker 2: You're a California kids, so the journey to the entertainment
Speaker 2: business may not have been as long. But when did
Speaker 2: you know this was what you wanted to do.
Speaker 4: I knew that this is what I wanted to do
Speaker 4: when I booked my first job at the age of
Speaker 4: six and I told my mom I was playing piano
Speaker 4: and I told my mom I was like, I don't
Speaker 4: want to do piano anymore. I just want to dance.
Speaker 3: So once I.
Speaker 4: Made that decision, I just kept going with it and
Speaker 4: now I'm here and I'm just so excited for this
Speaker 4: new journey.
Speaker 3: Maddie.
Speaker 2: Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems kiss Pop
Speaker 2: is a lot of work, a lot of singing, a
Speaker 2: lot of dancing, a lot of recording and touring. How
Speaker 2: do you find time for yourself and when you do,
Speaker 2: how do you spend it?
Speaker 5: Well, like, we always have some free time, but everything
Speaker 5: we do is always so much fun, Like all the
Speaker 5: singing and the dancing. I enjoy it so much. But
Speaker 5: when I have free time, I tend to I'm a
Speaker 5: very like outside kid, so I love being outside, you know,
Speaker 5: playing sports, and I'm always very active.
Speaker 3: But I always put most.
Speaker 5: Of my time into dance and singing because that's just
Speaker 5: what I love to do.
Speaker 2: Eleah, you said you booked your first gig at six
Speaker 2: years old.
Speaker 3: That was a humble brag. I heard that. You just said, Yeah,
Speaker 3: I've been doing this for like ten years. I'm a veteran.
Speaker 2: But even though you might have been in this business
Speaker 2: for a long time, you're human like the rest of us.
Speaker 2: Do you find yourself maybe when you're on stage at
Speaker 2: Wimbley or somewhere else.
Speaker 3: Kind of nervous Sometimes.
Speaker 4: I can be nerves, but having my best friends around
Speaker 4: me just really like calm me down. And I think
Speaker 4: just the energy of the fans, just like putting on
Speaker 4: a show for them, just makes me really happy and
Speaker 4: the nerves just kind of naturally go away.
Speaker 2: So yeah, Maddie, tell me about this Daddy Dance Off.
Speaker 3: Are you just laughing at the old folks like me?
Speaker 3: Tell the truth?
Speaker 5: No, I mean the Daddy Dance Off might be my
Speaker 5: favorite part of the show. It's so cool. We get
Speaker 5: to bring four dads up on stage and they get
Speaker 5: to dance and then there's a little battle, so it's
Speaker 5: so cool and all the fans love it. It always
Speaker 5: gets the fans up on their feet excited, and they
Speaker 5: get to vote, so it's really interactive with the crowd
Speaker 5: and it's so so much fun to see the dads
Speaker 5: come up on stage and do the move.
Speaker 2: Elia take me into that performance even more so. What
Speaker 2: should kids and parents like expect to see.
Speaker 4: I think they should expect to see new choreography, new songs. Again.
Speaker 4: The Daddy Dance Off is, again, I think the best
Speaker 4: part of the show. Yeah, singing and dancing, and I
Speaker 4: think they should just expect to have the best night
Speaker 4: of their lives.
Speaker 2: Maddie Alia talked about choreography, new choreography. There are a
Speaker 2: lot of songs, there's a lot of choreography that you
Speaker 2: have to learn and to perfect.
Speaker 3: Tell me about that process.
Speaker 2: How do you go about practicing individually as a group,
Speaker 2: how does it all come together?
Speaker 5: Well, we actually have two months before we go on
Speaker 5: tour in La where we're all there as a group
Speaker 5: and we practice and we learned choreo and as a group,
Speaker 5: we all love it. It's so much fun for all
Speaker 5: of us to be there and train and learn all
Speaker 5: the choreography and sing too.
Speaker 3: So it's just.
Speaker 5: An amazing experience and it's really nice to just all
Speaker 5: be together and go through this whole process together.
Speaker 2: Alia is something that I've noticed in something that you
Speaker 2: commented on. It's like being on stage with your best friends.
Speaker 2: In that type of camaraderie, that type of energy is
Speaker 2: not easy to come by. You're not necessarily going to
Speaker 2: like all the people that you work with, going to
Speaker 2: be working with them for months on hand. Why is
Speaker 2: it you think that you guys and gals get along
Speaker 2: so well?
Speaker 4: When I met all of them, we just clicked and
Speaker 4: I think our four different personalities just really mend well
Speaker 4: together and our love and passion for what we do
Speaker 4: all a line, and I think we just want to
Speaker 4: have a great time, and I just love even the
Speaker 4: people behind Kids Bop are just great people, such a
Speaker 4: great company, and I'm just so grateful that these people
Speaker 4: are the people I'm working on.
Speaker 2: All right, This next question is for both of you
Speaker 2: because the question may be answered differently. You're getting ready
Speaker 2: to kick off the North American portion of the tour
Speaker 2: for the summer and you'll be performing just about every day.
Speaker 2: Are there any places or any specific cities that you're
Speaker 2: looking forward to visiting?
Speaker 5: Well, for me, it's definitely New Jersey because the shows
Speaker 5: we're doing in New Jersey, all my family, all my friends,
Speaker 5: and I come be so excited, like looking into the
Speaker 5: crowd and seeing all my family, and but I'm excited
Speaker 5: for every city just to be able to perform and
Speaker 5: meet all the new Kids Bob fans and make everyone happy.
Speaker 4: Leah, I excited for Anaheim, Us. It's the Hawndness Center.
Speaker 4: I am super super deper excited. All my friends and
Speaker 4: family will be there, and yeah, it's my hometown, so
Speaker 4: we're gonna bring it like we always do.
Speaker 2: Okay, what's that like then? Leah, let me stay right there.
Speaker 2: You're in front of your friends and family. Does that
Speaker 2: make it a little more difficult because you have people
Speaker 2: who are coming there.
Speaker 3: Just to see you. It would seem to me that
Speaker 3: it might be a little more pressure.
Speaker 4: I'm not sure if it's like more pressure, it can
Speaker 4: be more nerve wracking. But their support for me is
Speaker 4: just out of this world and it just makes me
Speaker 4: happy that they're there supporting me because they could just
Speaker 4: stay at home, but they decided to come and see me,
Speaker 4: and it just makes me even more excited and happy
Speaker 4: to perform.
Speaker 3: Well, this is the best part.
Speaker 2: And I'm glad that you mentioned, Leah that you're from
