- Trevor: Before I left, I was stoked!
I mean, we're going to Australia!
- Lamar: I think it's absolutely insane that I'm going to Europe and Australia.
- Jordan: That's across the world, what do you mean?
We're going across the world?!
- Briar: I have packed a lot to take on tour.
I think I'm probably the worst packer, ever.
Ever.
- Isaiah: So on tour, sometimes my mom gets worried, because I'm gonna be on-camera.
And there might not be hair and makeup there.
So I pack my twisting gels, so I can like do my hair,
and I also pack makeup with brushes and foundation and powder and stuff like that.
So I know how to do my own makeup.
- Victoria: Something that a lot of people don't understand is
how much hard work is put into our shows.
- Isaiah: It feels like yesterday, we were at the studio just rehearsing
every single day trying to get these numbers down.
- Isaac: Spending five, six hours a day together, you'd think it would get old,
but it never gets old.
You know, we're always joking around.
- Lamar: We get along very well, the energy and everything,
it just clicks and it works, so -- (snaps fingers)
-- we got it done fairly quickly because everything was just flowing.
- Myles: All the days would be jam-packed.
We would have to get, you know,
three group numbers done, two duets, solos,
get 'em all choreographed and then practice them,
and then get the details done.
- Isaiah: It felt as if I was being brought into the family, almost.
And that was really exciting for me.

- Having Jordan and Trevor as the choreographers for this show was really different.
Everyone kind of got to, you know, add in their two cents,
everyone felt really comfortable.
(Jordan and Myles counting)
- Trevor: After our first tour, I was approached with Jordan to do
the choreography and help kinda creative-direct the show.
Uh, and that, I was blown away by,
I mean that's something I've always wanted to do.
And I couldn't have asked for a better partner to do it with.
- Jordan: You know what, it's so funny because Trevor and I --
first of all, we don't do scenes together.
(laughing:) We don't speak to one another really in The Next Step.
And, we had never choreographed together.
- Myles: My solo on the tour was choreographed and finished
a day before we did our first show in Australia.
That was pretty tight. We, we really pushed the limit there.
But we got it done, we made it happen, and it turned out great.
And the solo got more and more comfortable the more I did it.
(♪ ♪ ♪)
- That rehearsal I felt like we needed just to kind of check back in with our cast, and
make sure everyone's in a good mindset,
and they feel great about the numbers.
- Myles: I had no clue what it was gonna be like, 'cause I had never been on a big tour like that before.
- Victoria: Once the show starts, you know, once the lights go down
and we hear the fans scream, we're like "ooh," like,
that in itself just gives us an adrenaline rush.
