Self dancing? Was dancing and 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:40.040 singing part of the process at the very beginning, That's 0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:40.440 the thing. 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:44.080 So I didn't sing in myself tape by sang at 0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:45.960 the audition, not once did they see me dance. So 0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:48.760 I'm like, thankfully I had some dancing experience. And I 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:50.240 was like, they have no idea, Like what if I 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:52.680 just get there and cannot dance to save my life? 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:54.240 Do you know what I mean? 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:56.680 We haven't seen jump in yet. That is definitely on 0:03:56.720 --> 0:04:00.320 our list to watch. We've talked to Corbyn's so we 0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:04.000 absolutely we've got to do that one for sure. Do 0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:06.280 you guys dance because it's jump roping? Is there dance 0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:06.920 involved in it? 0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:09.520 Do you think they there was some dancing I did 0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:09.800 not do. 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:11.040 Maybe they saw that. 0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:15.160 Oh okay, what I'm thinking maybe they saw you in 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:18.200 the movie. So no, they had Literally they could have 0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:20.080 really made a bad choice. 0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:22.919 That's what was my first thought. I was like, I booked. 0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:25.320 I was like I didn't have to dance, Like they 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:26.359 don't know, like what if I sucked? 0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:28.800 Yeah, I mean like not saying that. 0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:31.160 I'm like like amazing dance or anything, but I had 0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:33.000 some experience and I was like, wow, like I could 0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:34.080 just go in there and. 0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:35.680 Right. 0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:38.760 But it is important that you can because the rehearsals 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:41.039 are very quick and short. You don't have a ton 0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:45.280 of time rehearsing, and if you can't dance, part of choreography, 0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:48.400 the hardest part is being able to remember the moves 0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:50.400 and and if you don't have a background in that, 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:52.840 for them to just think that you're gonna pick it up, 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:55.640 you know, in three weeks or whatever, it is wild. 0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:58.640 Actually, the hardest part if you can't dance is the dancing. 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:02.640 Well, yeah, but you can maybe fake it, but honestly, 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:04.120 it's it's like training your. 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:04.839 Brain to be able. 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:07.400 Sure, I mean, I imagine anyone. 0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:10.680 That gets enough time can somewhat dance. You can teach them. 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:12.599 There's a whole show it's called Dancing with the Stars. 0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:15.080 They show you all the time that you can somewhat 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:18.000 get through it. But if you don't have enough time, 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:20.240 you're not going to be able to be able to 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:24.000 do it. And Kylie, I'm telling you this is including 0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:26.520 my first the first movie that we've rewatched, this is 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:31.440 my absolute favorite choreography we have seen yet. We've watched Descendants, 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:36.480 high school musical, teen Beach. This is my favorite choreography. 0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:40.360 The amount of creativity that went into it and the 0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:42.640 style of hip hop that you guys do. 0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:44.920 You have to be that blows me away. 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:47.520 They didn't make sure that you could dance because it 0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:48.960 was hard choreography. 0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:51.960 Oh hard, because like I like train more so ballet. 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:55.880 So when I got with the first one, I struggled, 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:57.920 like I really, I was faked. 0:05:57.960 --> 0:05:59.719 I baked it till I'm like it. 0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:02.160 Was that's really impressive. 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:05.880 Things you looked amazing. You just like, well, there's a 0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:07.560 specific scene I'm thinking. 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:09.159 Right now of when you guys are in the like 0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:12.239 zombie bash for the routine. 0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:15.800 Bam, they look so good in it.

It just kind of like, how. 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:51.559 Did that happen? 0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:52.880 Now? 0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:55.600 Were you before you, you know, got the film, were 0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:58.719 you a fan of the genre of kind of zombie 0:06:58.720 --> 0:06:59.760 movies and horror movies. 0:06:59.839 --> 0:07:01.400 Was it your vibe or not at all? 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:02.880 Horror movies? 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:07.280 Yeah, zombie movies, I guess, But like because at first 0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:09.400 when I when I got the audition, I. 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:11.680 Was like, zombies interesting, Like is it scary? Like what 0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:13.480 is this? And then when I read the script, I 0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:14.520 was like, Oh, it's not that at all. 0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:19.000 I was like, really it was interesting though, But yeah, 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:21.240 I am kind of I'm a fan of horror films. 0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:23.000 I like to be scary for sure. 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:25.680 I think it would have been like cool if there 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:27.640 was like a scary element to zombies, but then again 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:28.240 it would I don't know. 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:29.880 I don't think they would have the same. 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:33.160 Well, when you guys jump into the zombie when your guys' 0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:37.120 wriskpin stopped working and you jump into the zombie mode world. 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:39.600 As far as where you guys are about to eat 0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:43.160 people's brains, that I think for little kids. 0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:49.080 My daughter is almost four. She started going, oh, like like. 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:51.640 Looking around, like making sure I was still there, because 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:53.760 the zombies are about to destroy the world and she's 0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:56.600 nervous now, So that part, I think four kids that 0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:59.240 age was like a little bit of that scary factor. 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:00.960 But yeah, I was a expecting it to be a 0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:04.520 lot more of a scary movie. When the title is zombies. 0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:06.560 I was definitely thinking this is going to be more 0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:10.200 along the lines of an actual scary movie. But yeah 0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:13.120 it was. It was fun and not scary at all. 0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:16.679 What about the music aspect, have you been in music 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:20.440 for a while? Was rapping new to you or had 0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:20.920 you rapped? 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:22.680 Okay? 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:25.280 When I tell you, the entire time throughout like the 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:30.160 before filming, choreography, studio time, like I just felt so 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:32.679 out of place and constantly doing things that I wasn't 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:36.040 hundred percent comfortable with, and like every take I do have, like, guys, 0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:38.720 just be honest with me, Like I sound stupid, Like no, 0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:39.680 sound insane. 0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:43.040 I'm like guys, like I thought. 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:47.760 But I got more and more comfortable with it, so 0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:49.600 like by the time the second, third, fourth came around, 0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:50.960 I was like, okay, cool, like I kind of I 0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:53.160 know what to do. Like it's still a little uncomfortable 0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:56.520 for me, but it's fine. I've always been into music, 0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:59.079 but rapping was never do you sing? 0:08:59.600 --> 0:08:59.840 Yeah? 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:02.319 Okay, all right, very cool. 0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:05.000 Yeah. If they threw a rap at me, I I 0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:08.920 I don't know how I would handle that rapping. 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:10.760 I think you could figure it out. 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:13.439 I mean I would go for it for sure. I 0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:16.560 just don't know that I would be confident. And I 0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:18.360 think I would be doing the same thing. Does that 0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:18.800 sound no? 0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:20.200 I think we should do again. 0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:20.720 I would. 0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:22.920 I would need a lot of time in the studio 0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:26.160 because I would be so uncomfortable. 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:27.320 Where I don't sing at all, and yet I have 0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:31.120 two rap songs out. I you swear to god, I 0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:32.079 have two rap songs out? 0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:33.280 Do you really well? 0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:33.640 I had to. 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:35.440 I had to do the naked mole rap as 'ren 0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:41.600 stoppable form possible.

I gang, but I had 0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:56.200 to rap, so I rather wish I could sing. 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:56.720 That was better. 0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:01.480 So you get the role and you have four weeks 0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:05.360 of rehearsal right, yes? And did you get along with 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:07.600 the cast right away? Because it seemed like the chemistry 0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:09.559 between the cast was phenomenal. 0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:15.360 Honestly, Yes, Okay, So when I went to the studio 0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:19.360 to record our first songs, that's when I ran into Carla. 0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:23.000 And I had known Carla Jeffreys since I was like twelve, 0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:23.719 So when I. 0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:26.160 Saw her, I was like, Carla, what are you doing here? 0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:27.960 She's like, Kylie, but what are you doing here? I 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:29.240 was like, zombies. She's like me too. 0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:32.520 I was like, yes, right. So we're on the same flight. 0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:34.840 We get there, and we get to our hotel. We 0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:37.720 have together, we have like five bags and we're stuffed 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:39.880 in this little elevator and the door opens and we 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:42.720 fall out and we look up and it's Maggi Milo. 0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:44.920 When I tell the whole thing was like a movie 0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:45.880 scene within itself. 0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:49.920 Oh, we're Kylie and Carla and we all just kind 0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:51.360 of hit it off right away. And I feel like 0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:54.840 it's rare that everyone has the same type of humor. 0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:58.960 Everyone's super like non judgmental, none of that. It was 0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:02.720 just like a really fun and comfortable environment. And I, 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:05.880 although I've always had really good times on set, I 0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:08.320 was always like the youngest, so like I did really 0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:11.240 anyone for me to like really hang out with this time. 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:13.520 I feel like although we were all different ages, we 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:16.560 just all chilled right off the back. 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:19.640 It really shows Yeah, well were the ages do you remember? 0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:26.560 Yes, Meg and Milo were sixteen, and then I believe 0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:30.559 I was twenty or twenty one. And then Carla I 0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:33.679 think was like three years older than me. Okay, I 0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:35.560 think was also three or four years older than me. 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:38.520 God, I can't believe Milo was that young. He does 0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:40.480 not see sixteen. 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:42.560 Wow, And even when I see them now, I still 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:45.000 see them as like they're sixteen. 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:51.120 Teenagers but crazy. Yeah, wow, so fun. I love that. 0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:53.880 It's great too because we noticed this is one of 0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:57.520 the few dcoms we've seen that didn't have somebody who 0:11:57.640 --> 0:12:00.559 was from one of their TV shows. Yeah, have somebody 0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:03.160 who's already done a bunch. I think you really had 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:06.520 the most experienced as everyone on the GAS. But so 0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:08.959 it didn't seem like there's probably any like egos or 0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:10.840 anything like. You guys were all just like here to 0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:14.000 have the best Disney Channel experience, just super stoked to 0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:16.200 be on the channel. And you know that's fitting for 0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:18.520 an amazing filming experience. 0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:21.640 Now, that was like what you said, they have no egos, 0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:24.480 Like I think that's what really made it. What it 0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:26.680 was was that we really were just having a really 0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:29.280 good time and we're enjoying being there. 0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:30.120 That's great. 0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:33.080 Yeah, wow, so fun. 0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:35.680 Can you walk us through kind of a typical rehearsal 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:38.440 day when you're dancing? I mean, is this an. 0:12:38.320 --> 0:12:42.000 All day thing where you're just working and singing, choreographing, 0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:44.160 dancing all day long? How does something like that work? 0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:47.360 How do your knees not blow out? Even at that age? 0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:49.800 And he's now gone. 0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:54.840 So basically, like most of the time, we would do 0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:57.760 the songs back in La before we left, so the 0:12:57.800 --> 0:13:00.560 first three were in Canada, and so we do the 0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:04.320 recordings here and then fly to Canada do the dance 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:08.400 rehearsals and like that was almost an everyday thing, like 0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:12.920 five days a week, not crazy long hours, but just 0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:15.840 enough so that we could learn everything, have enough time 0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:18.720 to actually rehearse it all. But I think those were 0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:22.160 like our best times in my opinion, Like those were 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:25.800 like where you're meeting everyone, you're forming your really close bonds, 0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:29.800 like you're all exhausted. It was tiring, but so much 0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:33.240 fun and like being able to work with other dancers 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:35.760 who are out of this world and just your mind 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:38.679 being blown every single day of like what people can do. 0:13:39.280 --> 0:13:41.520 Yeah, because you guys were working with a lot of 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:45.000 like breakdancers and like people that were not just dancing, 0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:48.880 they were flipping and doing so many crazy things. 0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:50.240 Yeah, it was out of. 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:54.120 This world and like the crazy flexibility and like the bone. 0:13:54.320 --> 0:13:55.960 I'm like, how, like. 0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:00.840 That's one of the coolest experiences of my life for sure. 0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:04.200 Yeah. So now as somebody who knows nothing about this, 0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:07.319 when you walk in your first day to see the choreography, 0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:10.160 are there dancers there that already know it? So you're 0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:13.000 kind of watching the entire routine and then you learn it, 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:14.560 Like how does that work? 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:18.920 Sometimes they do that for maybe like kuy Lee or Milo, 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:22.800 like they'll have the background dancers already have rehearsal and 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:26.120 know the choreography, and then it's about teaching them and 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:29.360 putting them in. But I feel like typically you're all 0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:30.640 kind of learning together. 0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:31.840 Yeah. 0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:34.160 So I remember the first day of rehearsal it was 0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:35.960 just us and the choreographers. 0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:37.800 Is kind of like seeing like okay, like what can 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:38.320 you guys do? 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:40.160 What can you do? Yeah? 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:42.520 So he taught us some things and like he was like, okay, 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:43.360 so you guys like you. 0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:46.920 Guys aren't back right, So so he was like, you 0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:49.200 guys can keep up, Like that's awesome. So he just 0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:52.960 kept teaching us like harder and harder things, and we 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:55.200 were able to keep up and we got better and better. 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:57.080 And then I want to say, the second day, they 0:14:57.080 --> 0:14:58.920 brought all the dancers in and then. 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:00.320 That's what we're kind of like, oh okay, here we go. 0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:05.080 And I feel like some of them already knew it, 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:06.880 and then a lot of the times we're all kind 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:09.360 of learning it together, and like they would change things 0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:12.640 as we went based off of what like the director 0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:16.160 wided or what the scene had in store. 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:17.400 So it was cool. 0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:20.160 And I also like I learned how to adapt quicker 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:23.720 because like one day we'd learned choreography and it was 0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:25.520 set and then they'd be like, Okay, hold up, it's 0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:26.560 not going to be like this anymore. 0:15:26.600 --> 0:15:28.680 So let's I'm like, oh okay, cool, cool, Like let's 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:31.800 all right, I'm ready to go out. So that's what 0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:35.200 good learning experience for me was learning to adapt quick. 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:36.440 Yeah. 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:39.720 You mentioned the director Paul Howen. This is the second 0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:40.880 time you've actually worked with him. 0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:44.119 Because he also did jump in Jump in right, Yeah, yeah, 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:45.120 so how is that? 0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:47.720 Did you feel super comfortable having him there because you 0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:48.800 had already worked with him? 0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:52.000 And well, we had a different director for the first 0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:54.840 half of the film and then all came like finish 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:59.080 it up and we were terrified because we're like wait, wait, wait, 0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:02.200 what's going going on? And then when I saw it, 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:05.120 I was like, Paul, Yes, okay, cool, Like I know. 0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:09.040 You Everything's good, you guys, it's here. 0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:13.360 Paul's great, Like he's so funny, and like Paul is Paul, 0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:18.760 you know, and he is so funny. And there'll be 0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:21.120 times where like he'd tell you to do something and 0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:25.200 you're like I don't understand, and like it would feel 0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:26.600 like unnatural. 0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:27.840 He's like, look, I know, it feels weird. 0:16:27.880 --> 0:16:30.080 I know, but like just trust me, and you're like okay, 0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:31.600 and then you see it and you're like, okay, I 0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:32.800 see if you get that, that makes someone sense. 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:37.760 Did you ever find out why they had a different 0:16:37.760 --> 0:16:39.120 director come in halfway through? 0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:43.680 Or I don't fully know I made creative differences or 0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:47.120 like like I I yeah, I have no idea. 0:16:47.160 --> 0:16:49.080 When we're kids on a show, they don't usually tell 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:49.680 us that stuff. 0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:53.080 Yeah, don't ask very many questions, just kind of go, okay, that's. 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:55.920 Normal, totally normal. 0:16:57.480 --> 0:17:01.480 Did you have a favorite from the film or favorite 0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:02.760 dance routine that you love doing. 0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:07.959 I would say from like the first film, my favorite 0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:11.280 song of course was Someday, Like I'd assessed with it 0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:12.880 from the first moment I heard it. I was like, oh, 0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:18.280 this is the cutest song ever. Yeah, choreography wise, probably bam. 0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:21.119 That was just so much fun and like the tutting 0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:22.480 can't do it now. 0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:27.560 But yes, it was so good. I mean I was 0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:31.120 not expecting that I had. The only thing I really 0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:33.560 knew about Zombies going in was there were cheerleaders, so 0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:36.520 I was ready for that. I wasn't ready for the 0:17:36.560 --> 0:17:40.440 style you guys brought at this point from what we've seen, 0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:42.800 we haven't seen it on the channel yet, so it 0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:45.280 was really awesome.
