7:20 - So back in Season 5 and 6, we had Michelle and Emily taking the lead as co studio heads and they would appoint dance captains to take some moderate control in leading the teams in preparing dances and rehearsals for Regionals. But Emily and Michelle would still oversee dances and make any appropriate corrections. A few troubles end up happening along the way but eventually the team comes together by the end. Miss Kate also made a few cameos in these seasons too (whenever things went out of control). Season 6 had a really good natural balance of Emily handling the business side of the studio while Michelle handled the dance aspects of the studio and the dance captains actually did their job and didn’t just leave the rest of the dancers alone with too much freedom. But starting with Season 7, they weirdly abandoned these aspects of dance after Michelle left in the first episode of Season 7. Obviously Nick was new and took over as studio owner and worked alongside Emily but this was the point where I felt that they started to not fully focus on important dances and would often give the dance captain full reign of the choreography rather than actually having adult authority figures oversee the progress. This was most noticeable when Summer became dance captain and Nick just left her to handle stuff due to his lack of knowledge in dance. A similar thing happened with Emily in this season too where she would just tell the dancers to rehearse and then just leave them to dance without any proper prep. This happened in the episode where B Troupe had to prove their worth to going to Nationals. Although Emily ended up being absent a lot in season 7 (I think it was due to Alex Beaton being busy with other commitments). But I remember one of your Season 7 reactions when you addressed why Emily or Nick would often leave dancers in the lurch when they are clearly struggling and it’s definitely noticeable in these recent seasons which is a huge contrast to the earlier seasons. It actually drove me crazy too lol. So yeah I’d say Season 7 was the starting point where the dance captain duties became more loose.
11:42 the fact that Emily actually does do that with one of Chloe‘s moves and says “that’s really pretty, and it looks great on you, but put it in one of your routines not one of my routines”
8:20 It started in season 7 onwards, as in season 6 Noah was dance captain and he choreographed a lot of the time. Also my question to you is who were your favourite people to film scenes with whilst you were on the show? Love the vids Britt!
When you asked when did the role of a dance captain go from assisting the studio head to delegating and choreographing the dancers, it was season 7. In season 6, Michelle was the choreographer, Emily was the business partner/manager, and Noah was the dance captain. When Noah choreographed, Michelle was aware of it and she saw Noah's work. Michelle and Emily also brought Sloane and Latroy from season 4 to audition dancers for a hip-hop dance, and Chloe to choreograph a ballet duet on Richelle and Noah. Since Michelle left, Nick bought the studio and they no longer had a choreographer and Emily was absent in majority of season 7.
Brittany, you mentioned in the last episode reaction that perhaps Finn could have social anxiety. I feel like it's more likely he has ADHD, considering the symphoms include hyperactivity, innatention, absent-mindedness, lack of brain maturation etc. What are your thoughts?
yess this episode was a fun one, and btw we saw Amy’s mom in season 5, and she was super strict so we have some backstory to that too. also the pastel coloured studio is actually studio 1 lol, they got rid of studio B in like season 3 or 4, and then the new studio was studio 1 in season 5. and I can’t wait for the podcast! I was thinking all the fans would go crazy if you could get guests later on in the podcast that have been in TNS to spill some extra tea and BTS things, like that would be super exciting!
it's so interesting to hear all your theories about the show having already seen it! question for the next video: did you have a favourite song to dance to on the show?
I am literally bursting with joy that you’re doing When The War Is Over solo next… I love it and I commented that on your last video! I feel so close to you right now it’s unreal! 😄
@@BrittanyRaymondOfficial I am pretty sure that dance in season 5 is called world famous but the one that was in the video was just called famous from season 4 regionals of the hip hop group that had Akiel, Skylar, Isaiah, Alexandra, and Myles
I think you're next character thingy should be richelle (szn 8 specifically as shes a very different person). I believe richelle is mad because she sacrificed her nationals spot because everyone else but her and a few others didn't even want to go pro, richelle probably would've loved being dc for nationals and kenzie having a chance at that when they agreed to change routes as a request by the rest of the team must suck. I also think she's more hurt because richelle takes things quite personal.
YAYY ANOTHER REACTION VIDEO! Seriously I love these videos sm. I can’t wait for you to find out who the mole is. I was shocked when I first found out. Your laugh makes me laugh so hard 😂😂😂 I literally just spent 10 mins trying to calm myself down 😂😂 Love you ❤
Hi… I’m just going to say that I found TNS on CBBC in 2022 and binge watched seasons 1-7 (season 8 came out just after I finished season 7) and Riley was my favourite character there (ok, that sounds strange but it does link to my question… carry on reading). I was absolutely devastated when you left after season 4 because I was so attached to her and I almost stopped watching it (I commented this in an earlier video but I think UA-cam deleted it). I’m glad I didn’t though (that’s besides the point)! For my question, I was wondering what you thought of Riley in season 4, because she was written as quite an unlikeable character but I cried for her (I’m not kidding, I did!) because I was so attached to her and couldn’t bear to see her in so much pain. Then I watched the later seasons and after getting more comfortable around Piper as a “mini Riley”, I rewatched season 4 as it has most of my favourite characters in, and ended up taking Piper’s side instead of Riley’s! Anyway, the question is “How did you feel about your character Riley in season 4?” PS. I love your videos please keep making them they’re amazing and so are you 💜
my thought was that kingston knew teara, like they were related or dated in the past. i forgot how old teara is in this show but that was my guess, his secret wasn't as big as i thought it was going to be tbh!! i completely thought she was going to be his cousin or something and that maybe he was the mole feeding her info?? idk.
My theorie is that maybe Tiara did an audition for the next step and ended up not in the A or B Troup and she wants to get revenge but maybe it's something else 🤷♀️
Question!!! In seasons 1-3 (when you were on A-Troupe) A-Troupe does a more hip hoppy kind of style than technical. Did you get much of a say in terms of the styles?? Would you prefer more lyrical numbers??
How did you decide that you wanted to be a dancer? Btw I love yours vids! You’re a really huge inspiration to me for wanting to be a dancer + actor! ❤❤❤
Dance was my escape, as a kid. I became obsessed with it, and when my role on TNS came along, it was the perfect fit. I probably wouldn't have gone into acting or dancing (professionally) if it wasn't for that show.
I have been a fan of the next step for like 10 years if watched all of the seasons (Riley's my favorite character out of the whole show) like so many times its definitely my comfort show and I would be so grateful if you could respond but i get it us busy so it's fine.
i went to the tours in the uk and i hadn’t watched the next step at that point cause my neurodivergent ass couldn’t watch any tv shows cause my attention span was like 0 but i’m a dancer and my friend asked me if i wanted to go and i was like sure and then i got really into tns after i went😂
So happy when the episode came ❤ Really wish could watch the whole thing only can watch it here ❤ Could you maybe extend the minutes you r watching? Would really mean it alot
Riley Reacts Season 8 Episode 6 let’s go! 😆🙌🏻 By the way the UA-camr in the series who is bashing on The Next Step (TeaAra), I find it incredibly ironic that they took a UA-camr (Mockingariana3) who LOVES TNS, put her in the show and then made her character the complete opposite of her persona!
on your podcast, would you talk about other things in your lives? i'd be interested to learn more about you and brennan that isn't just tns. obviously i'll still be listening no matter what tho!!
I luv u Brittany, I have been watching you guys since I was a baby and now I am 14. Do you know if there is going to be a season 9? Ps I loved your character in the show and was one of my favourite!!! 😂❤❤❤❤❤
I dont particularly like A troupe in the later seasons , the talent in some of the dances is kimda soft sizzling, but i love the wlw representation with Jude and Cleo . ❤
And also how come that they don't have an a choreographer? like.. if we think about that they had cris, fibbi, west and daniel, and michelle. and like they are in a dance studio.. they need to learn from someone to get better, no? so how is it possible that thay just chorieografing thair dances
I would love to hear your thoughts on the Riley James and Alfie drama from season 4 and Alfie’s character on the show as a whole? (Personally if Alfie didn’t kiss Riley when he knew she had a bf and Riley wasn’t with James, I’d love Ralfie together I also think Alfie had the potential to be a better character if they didn’t make do some of the things he does, maybe his behavior comes from being a prince and always getting what he wants?)
It REALLY triggers me when u say dance captain is not doing dance captain stuff ig , Only because of the fact that the trio is a team building and the trio did team build Ps : I agree with the fact of what your saying.
What if NICK is the mole?!
OH SHIT
There’s actually an off season episodes on UA-cam, so if you watch those what happens later would make a lot more sense

14:51 Famous was from the season 4 hip hop small group with Henry, Noah, Piper, Skylar and Latroy at regionals
Brittany, you mentioned in the last episode reaction that perhaps Finn could have social anxiety. I feel like it's more likely he has ADHD, considering the symphoms include hyperactivity, innatention, absent-mindedness, lack of brain maturation etc. What are your thoughts?
Yeah, might be ADHD...though I am not at all qualified to diagnose anyone, fictional or not haha
yess this episode was a fun one, and btw we saw Amy’s mom in season 5, and she was super strict so we have some backstory to that too. also the pastel coloured studio is actually studio 1 lol, they got rid of studio B in like season 3 or 4, and then the new studio was studio 1 in season 5. and I can’t wait for the podcast!

You are so iconic i lovee you and ur channel. Youve come so far from the next step ❤️" riley "reacting to tns is all i need in life
Thank you for the support!!
Britt guessing who the mole is, is giving me flashbacks to when you hated and loved Summer back in the last season
kingston storyline is a little flashback to eldon double booking to duet with emily and michelle
It was really nice to hear you opening up about ADHD on Brennan’s channel. Thank you for your bravery and awareness!
29:14 I'll never forgive them for cancelling Lost and Found on that cliffhanger
Haha didnt you choreograph the Famous dance in season 5? That Briar, Dylan and Milaina performed using the same song 😂
Ohhhh that's where I know it from!! Haha
@@BrittanyRaymondOfficial I am pretty sure that dance in season 5 is called world famous but the one that was in the video was just called famous from season 4 regionals of the hip hop group that had Akiel, Skylar, Isaiah, Alexandra, and Myles
But anyways enjoyed the video again as always!
@brookematson850 oooh that's true, my mind blanked on which one it was 😂
Question, are u gonna continue d series with brennan where u dance old dances in tns i hope so it's really entertaining
Yes!
I think you're next character thingy should be richelle (szn 8 specifically as shes a very different person). I believe richelle is mad because she sacrificed her nationals spot because everyone else but her and a few others didn't even want to go pro, richelle probably would've loved being dc for nationals and kenzie having a chance at that when they agreed to change routes as a request by the rest of the team must suck. I also think she's more hurt because richelle takes things quite personal.
15:48 LMAOOO, this part made me laugh so hard💀💀
I REMEMBER THE TOURS! That’s such a throwback. Me and my friends still discuss TNS
Question: What do you think Riley would be doing with her life at the moment as we don’t see her character anymore?
thats a good one
8:32 season 3, one time gissele i think chloe and a J trouper where tasked the same as these guys
So excited ❤
YAYY ANOTHER REACTION VIDEO! Seriously I love these videos sm. I can’t wait for you to find out who the mole is. I was shocked when I first found out. Your laugh makes me laugh so hard 😂😂😂 I literally just spent 10 mins trying to calm myself down 😂😂 Love you ❤
The funky dance numba song is from the regional small group with Noah, LaTroy,Piper,Skylar,Henry
on the tour I saw ‘coming home’ was the opening number and ‘stand up’ was always the last one 🤍
I love these reaction videos! Thank you so much Britt! My question is When did you start dancing and what is your favourite dance style? from Alma!
Loved this video! btw, heads up that the youtube premium link for chateau laurier isn't working
Oh shoot, thanks for telling me.
18:16 so relatable lol
Hi… I’m just going to say that I found TNS on CBBC in 2022 and binge watched seasons 1-7 (season 8 came out just after I finished season 7) and Riley was my favourite character there (ok, that sounds strange but it does link to my question… carry on reading).

PS. I love your videos please keep making them they’re amazing and so are you 💜
i am so happy you posted hehe . its 2am here in melbourne australia 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I know who the mole is but I’m not gonna spoil it 🤭
Please don't!
You should whatch the off seasons between season 7 and 8. That should clear things up about tea ara's motivs
my thought was that kingston knew teara, like they were related or dated in the past. i forgot how old teara is in this show but that was my guess, his secret wasn't as big as i thought it was going to be tbh!! i completely thought she was going to be his cousin or something and that maybe he was the mole feeding her info?? idk.
This episode gives me sm s1 vibes with Eldon 😂
My theorie is that maybe Tiara did an audition for the next step and ended up not in the A or B Troup and she wants to get revenge but maybe it's something else 🤷♀️
thats what i thought
Loved the video!!
I love this TV show
love you videos ❤
I would love to see your reaction to the next step live the movie- used to be obsessed with it as a kid!!!
Love the video! X
Good video do you prefer the next step or lost and found
Question!!! In seasons 1-3 (when you were on A-Troupe) A-Troupe does a more hip hoppy kind of style than technical. Did you get much of a say in terms of the styles?? Would you prefer more lyrical numbers??
About your theory at the end, I will say Tiara did visit the studio in the off season :)
10:08, 10:24, 10:29, 19:43, 19:48, ‘Dancelled’ 😂😂😂😂😂
The rest of the first half of the season gets better after this episode. And then the second half of season 8 is.........
loving these videos❤
day 3 of asking if you had to have played a different character from tns, who would you want to play? love these videos
25:00 if ur talking about the 2015 tour the finale was stand up
15:27 fr I was noticed that 😭
How did you decide that you wanted to be a dancer? Btw I love yours vids! You’re a really huge inspiration to me for wanting to be a dancer + actor! ❤❤❤
Dance was my escape, as a kid. I became obsessed with it, and when my role on TNS came along, it was the perfect fit. I probably wouldn't have gone into acting or dancing (professionally) if it wasn't for that show.
How often do/did you get recognised as Riley in public? Love watching these reactions!
Keep bringing the Riley!
Question: Did the cast have to reaudition to be on TNS each time the show got a new season?
I have been a fan of the next step for like 10 years if watched all of the seasons (Riley's my favorite character out of the whole show) like so many times its definitely my comfort show and I would be so grateful if you could respond but i get it us busy so it's fine.
Ya alisha did visit next step, it was before season 8. Like a pilot to season 8. Mid season between s7 to s8
I think a few of us wondered why they weren’t choreographing more or rehearsing more…
i went to the tours in the uk and i hadn’t watched the next step at that point cause my neurodivergent ass couldn’t watch any tv shows cause my attention span was like 0 but i’m a dancer and my friend asked me if i wanted to go and i was like sure and then i got really into tns after i went😂
yesss i luv that ur doing when the war is over!!!😁😁😁😁😁😁
Pretty sure the mole is the dude who plays guitar and sings -- i forgot his name 😅 i kinda get bad vibes from him idk why !
I love this by r .l .d .
You and Brandon got me addicted to Australianairs and now it’s gone
So happy when the episode came ❤
Really wish could watch the whole thing only can watch it here ❤
Could you maybe extend the minutes you r watching?
Would really mean it alot
She can’t show the whole episode, then the video would be taken down
When will the first episode of right around the corner podcast be released?
25:26 Sorry Kingston but West, Eldon and James 🔛🔝
Did you ever have a crush while filming the next step
Riley Reacts Season 8 Episode 6 let’s go! 😆🙌🏻
By the way the UA-camr in the series who is bashing on The Next Step (TeaAra), I find it incredibly ironic that they took a UA-camr (Mockingariana3) who LOVES TNS, put her in the show and then made her character the complete opposite of her persona!
How was being on screen for the first time?!!
23:12 Watch Season 6 they were soo cute in that season (before they were dating)
Is it true that the person that plays Tiffany sings showstopper?
Yes it is!
❤❤❤❤❤
on your podcast, would you talk about other things in your lives? i'd be interested to learn more about you and brennan that isn't just tns. obviously i'll still be listening no matter what tho!!
Definitely. We focus on TNS, but every so often we'll turn the conversation in another direction.
Lost and found did have 2 seasons
I luv u Brittany, I have been watching you guys since I was a baby and now I am 14. Do you know if there is going to be a season 9? Ps I loved your character in the show and was one of my favourite!!! 😂❤❤❤❤❤
On season 4 noah did choreograghed rhe dances
I dont particularly like A troupe in the later seasons , the talent in some of the dances is kimda soft sizzling, but i love the wlw representation with Jude and Cleo . ❤
And also how come that they don't have an a choreographer? like.. if we think about that they had cris, fibbi, west and daniel, and michelle. and like they are in a dance studio.. they need to learn from someone to get better, no? so how is it possible that thay just chorieografing thair dances
I went to family show tour The next step did dances! They did it in 2017!
So time don't seen your react😮😮I miss this
I would love to hear your thoughts on the Riley James and Alfie drama from season 4 and Alfie’s character on the show as a whole? (Personally if Alfie didn’t kiss Riley when he knew she had a bf and Riley wasn’t with James, I’d love Ralfie together I also think Alfie had the potential to be a better character if they didn’t make do some of the things he does, maybe his behavior comes from being a prince and always getting what he wants?)
Love you
When r u bringing back Australianairs
Love ur what ifs girl
Are you still in touch with the actor who played James on the next step ?
If you watch the S8 off season, it'll make more sense.
Who is the mole?
It REALLY triggers me when u say dance captain is not doing dance captain stuff ig , Only because of the fact that the trio is a team building and the trio did team build
Ps : I agree with the fact of what your saying.
JUSTICE FOR L&F MUSIC STUDIOS ! they deserved s3 ;(
🍿
What was your favourite dance rootine❤
Hello
We’re you a favourite at your studio
You look very beautiful in your videos 😍
Does it get tiring that no matter what roles you take up, we seem to always circle you back to Riley?
Hiiii :)
is there a reason why you started censoring yourself in the past few weeks?
She answered this in next episode
Spoiler:
the mole is ###t# ###f#
Firstttt
First ???
27:27 Spoiler but that's what happens
