1
00:00:15,981 --> 00:00:18,531
BRIAN: When someone is watching a dance,
their neurons are firing.

2
00:00:19,651 --> 00:00:21,741
Your body is actually starting
to wire those emotions

3
00:00:21,820 --> 00:00:23,490
and those feelings inside your own brain.

4
00:00:24,698 --> 00:00:26,698
That's why having dancers is so important.

5
00:00:27,158 --> 00:00:29,328
You start to feel that empathy.

6
00:00:33,999 --> 00:00:36,459
- ARIANA: The twins bring,
like, a totally new life to songs

7
00:00:36,543 --> 00:00:38,383
that I didn't know could be there.

8
00:00:50,557 --> 00:00:53,057
Once I met them,
I never pictured my life without them.

9
00:00:53,143 --> 00:00:55,273
I was, like, "Oh!
This is a forever thing."

10
00:01:04,696 --> 00:01:05,986
- You go first.
- Me first?

11
00:01:06,072 --> 00:01:07,952
- Yeah, y-- you were born first.
- That's true.

12
00:01:08,033 --> 00:01:08,873
- Born first, talk first.
- That's true.

13
00:01:18,293 --> 00:01:22,133
So, we are on the tour
for about almost eight months

14
00:01:22,214 --> 00:01:25,474
and, uh, we're from Strongsville, Ohio,
a little town outside Cleveland.

15
00:01:25,551 --> 00:01:28,051
You know, like, didn't dance
till we were 19, like, in college.

16
00:01:28,428 --> 00:01:30,098
So the fact that
we were able to get to this point of

17
00:01:30,180 --> 00:01:32,810
being the, the head choreographers
for, like, a world tour...

18
00:01:32,892 --> 00:01:33,732
it's amazing.

19
00:01:36,562 --> 00:01:39,232
When we came with the creative
for the Sweetener Tour

20
00:01:39,314 --> 00:01:40,524
for Ariana's song "Breathin",

21
00:01:40,607 --> 00:01:42,777
we decided not to have
any dancers on stage.

22
00:01:42,902 --> 00:01:45,652
It's going to be more about just Ariana
singing her butt off.

23
00:01:47,197 --> 00:01:50,827
But I think we were been kinda itching
to do some kind of dancing to it

24
00:01:50,910 --> 00:01:53,660
and to actually, like,
get that song on some bodies.

25
00:01:54,747 --> 00:01:57,037
And so I think,
this is the perfect time to do it...

26
00:01:57,123 --> 00:01:58,293
is in Switzerland.

27
00:01:58,500 --> 00:02:01,550
It's just special to be openly creative
and see where it gets you.

28
00:02:10,345 --> 00:02:11,675
I've never been to Switzerland before,

29
00:02:11,764 --> 00:02:16,524
so first time performing there,
but also first time getting to explore.

30
00:02:18,687 --> 00:02:20,107
- This is so beautiful, it's crazy.

31
00:02:22,399 --> 00:02:23,569
- SCOTT: We can have this moment on tour

32
00:02:23,650 --> 00:02:26,780
that we can go and do something
outside of the stage

33
00:02:26,862 --> 00:02:28,702
and experiment and create.

34
00:02:28,781 --> 00:02:31,411
And then that can also make us refueled up

35
00:02:31,491 --> 00:02:33,741
with new intention
that we could bring on the stage later on.

36
00:02:33,911 --> 00:02:34,751
- Full circle.

37
00:02:35,662 --> 00:02:37,502
- CORY: A lot of times when they...

38
00:02:37,581 --> 00:02:38,421
teach,

39
00:02:39,541 --> 00:02:42,881
it's as if, they talking to each other
but not really talking to each other,

40
00:02:42,962 --> 00:02:46,302
like, one will teach the choreography
and the other one will...

41
00:02:46,757 --> 00:02:49,887
go into definition as to why
we are moving the way we're moving.

42
00:02:50,260 --> 00:02:52,680
- When dancing,
there are certain emotions or...

43
00:02:52,846 --> 00:02:54,596
ideas or experiences you can get

44
00:02:55,099 --> 00:02:57,729
from the song that may not have
otherwise existed.

45
00:03:01,897 --> 00:03:03,687
- Is it fine? Shall we leave this on?
- Yeah.

46
00:03:03,774 --> 00:03:05,824
- I'm the third. I'm the triplet.

47
00:03:06,610 --> 00:03:09,160
I don't know if they failed
to mention that or not, but I am.

48
00:03:09,696 --> 00:03:11,406
- ♪ But I don't chair... ♪

49
00:03:12,491 --> 00:03:14,241
- ARIANA: ♪ Chair ♪

50
00:03:14,743 --> 00:03:17,333
I love the life
that they bring to my music.

51
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,540
I've never felt more understood.

52
00:03:22,208 --> 00:03:26,918
I've learned so much about
what my body's capable of

53
00:03:27,422 --> 00:03:29,262
and, you know,
become a lot more comfortable

54
00:03:29,341 --> 00:03:31,801
dancing and moving on stage
because of them.

55
00:03:35,305 --> 00:03:37,715
- We first met Ariana in New York City.

56
00:03:37,808 --> 00:03:41,728
We were young dancers, we became, I feel,
instant, like, brothers and sisters.

57
00:03:42,354 --> 00:03:45,524
- We're never gonna have to
put on a different act

58
00:03:45,607 --> 00:03:47,027
or be somebody different
than we actually are.

59
00:03:47,109 --> 00:03:49,359
And I think that's what is the reason
she has chosen us

60
00:03:49,444 --> 00:03:51,784
and the reason also we've chosen her.

61
00:03:52,614 --> 00:03:55,034
And I'm funny, so, thank God!

62
00:03:55,117 --> 00:03:57,487
'Cause Brain's the worst, yeah, exactly.
You know what I am saying? You feel me?

63
00:03:59,163 --> 00:04:01,173
- CORY: Their bond is amazing.

64
00:04:01,247 --> 00:04:03,957
And then that transcends
to everybody else.

65
00:04:15,137 --> 00:04:16,427
- SCOTT: I got through, like,
all these years...

66
00:04:16,513 --> 00:04:18,103
The team mentality
is super, super important.

67
00:04:18,182 --> 00:04:20,562
I feel like a lot of times,
someone gets hired by an artist

68
00:04:20,642 --> 00:04:22,522
and then they, you know,
have their job to do.

69
00:04:22,644 --> 00:04:25,524
And then that's it, but this is more
than just, "I'm hiring somebody."

70
00:04:27,983 --> 00:04:30,113
We're super lucky we have each other.

71
00:04:30,736 --> 00:04:32,566
- Turn, and then... pssh...

72
00:04:32,696 --> 00:04:34,486
- Not like you're trying to keep him away,
but just like...

73
00:04:34,573 --> 00:04:37,373
Growing up, especially in school,
I feel like people would say, like,

74
00:04:37,450 --> 00:04:40,250
Scott and I were always a little more
effeminate than other dudes, you know?

75
00:04:40,328 --> 00:04:42,498
It's like, this world is very,
like, comparative.

76
00:04:42,581 --> 00:04:45,331
Instead of just, like, letting people be
however they want, whoever they want.

77
00:04:46,334 --> 00:04:47,384
It's just so hard to find where you fit

78
00:04:47,460 --> 00:04:49,050
and then you realize
you don't have to fit anywhere.

79
00:04:51,381 --> 00:04:53,681
- ARIANA: Brian and Scott, both understand

80
00:04:53,759 --> 00:04:57,349
that it's really important to use
our platform to make people feel

81
00:04:57,470 --> 00:05:00,060
like, a part of it,
and safe and celebrate it

82
00:05:00,140 --> 00:05:03,310
a way that we have always done that
with the twins is

83
00:05:03,393 --> 00:05:05,693
their choreography is also very fluid.

84
00:05:09,983 --> 00:05:11,693
- SCOTT: With the Sweetener Tour,
when we would cast dancers

85
00:05:11,777 --> 00:05:13,027
and we would call groups to be,

86
00:05:13,112 --> 00:05:14,862
like, let's do all the men,
and all the women.

87
00:05:14,947 --> 00:05:19,367
But saying that felt really, um, wrong
because that wouldn't do any justice

88
00:05:19,451 --> 00:05:21,161
to the energy of the dance movements.
So, we were, like,

89
00:05:21,245 --> 00:05:23,075
oh, let's just change this,
let's change the narrative.

90
00:05:23,163 --> 00:05:25,923
- If someone can be like,
I don't dance, I'll be there,

91
00:05:26,374 --> 00:05:30,384
but I want to dance more
feminine or masculine.

92
00:05:30,838 --> 00:05:32,708
- ARIANA: It's really dope
to be able to...

93
00:05:32,798 --> 00:05:34,378
work with choreographers and dancers

94
00:05:34,466 --> 00:05:37,676
that are comfortable
performing with both sides of themselves.

95
00:05:44,059 --> 00:05:45,349
- SCOTT: It was sort of
an experiment with, like,

96
00:05:45,435 --> 00:05:47,895
the identity of just, like, the energy

97
00:05:47,980 --> 00:05:50,360
rather than just, like,
the, the, the general person.

98
00:05:50,524 --> 00:05:54,744
And it became so much more open
and the art became more exciting.

99
00:05:59,449 --> 00:06:02,489
- When it comes to the same-sex dancing,
it's more so about the human connection

100
00:06:02,577 --> 00:06:04,287
because you are gonna see
two people for who they are.

101
00:06:04,746 --> 00:06:07,496
What makes this special is showing people

102
00:06:07,624 --> 00:06:10,214
the connection that they
don't even realize they have to it.

103
00:06:11,670 --> 00:06:14,550
- There are moments where our dancers
are touching other male dancers

104
00:06:14,631 --> 00:06:17,221
and what an emotional kind of reaction
that you have,

105
00:06:17,301 --> 00:06:20,261
whether it's good or bad,
it challenges you as a human being.

106
00:06:20,512 --> 00:06:22,012
That, literally, can change anyone's life.

107
00:06:27,061 --> 00:06:27,901
- SCOTT: Go, here we go.

108
00:06:27,978 --> 00:06:30,308
Five, six, seven, eight.

109
00:06:33,359 --> 00:06:34,279
- When we were growing up

110
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,070
I remember, one of,
like, the confused kids in my class

111
00:06:36,153 --> 00:06:37,403
would like, ran up to me, was, like...

112
00:06:37,487 --> 00:06:39,657
"You're a..." I'm was like,
"I don't know what that means."

113
00:06:40,241 --> 00:06:41,991
I just never got it. Even now, I'm like...

114
00:06:42,076 --> 00:06:44,996
You're taking the entire experience that
I've had and putting it down to, like,

115
00:06:45,079 --> 00:06:46,999
masculine, feminine, gay, straight.

116
00:06:47,081 --> 00:06:49,211
People can be different things at
different points in their life anyways.

117
00:06:50,042 --> 00:06:52,542
- Even when it came down to sexuality,
You know what I'm saying? I feel like...

118
00:06:52,961 --> 00:06:54,761
I don't wanna label myself as anything

119
00:06:54,838 --> 00:06:57,168
because I don't feel like
I need to put it in a box.

120
00:06:57,799 --> 00:07:00,589
There's a lot of people who don't fit
in those boxes and that's cool.

121
00:07:00,677 --> 00:07:04,387
You know? And I wanna be able to show
the world those kind of people.

122
00:07:04,598 --> 00:07:06,058
- MAN: Look at the hate...

123
00:07:06,141 --> 00:07:08,811
- There's been times
where there's protesters outside,

124
00:07:08,894 --> 00:07:13,524
where they are protesting obviously
who and what Ariana Grande represents,

125
00:07:13,607 --> 00:07:16,607
that goes against their belief in,
like, homosexuality is a sin.

126
00:07:17,485 --> 00:07:20,405
When people come into an arena
and they are watching your show,

127
00:07:20,488 --> 00:07:23,618
if they go to a certain church
that's protesting outside of the arena,

128
00:07:23,700 --> 00:07:26,750
they can come in here,
and even if their family doesn't agree,

129
00:07:26,828 --> 00:07:28,288
they can still be in a safe place.

130
00:07:28,372 --> 00:07:30,712
- MAN: You are all hateful,
intolerant bigots!

131
00:07:30,791 --> 00:07:32,581
And you all need to repent!

132
00:07:35,670 --> 00:07:37,800
- BRIAN: We just want to operate
from a positive situation

133
00:07:37,881 --> 00:07:40,431
of loving people, and that everyone
when they can come into the arena,

134
00:07:40,508 --> 00:07:42,178
they can still be in a safe place.

135
00:07:42,970 --> 00:07:45,470
- SCOTT: The stage and the platform
Ariana has given Brian and I,

136
00:07:45,555 --> 00:07:47,765
has been to really, like,
to express ourselves fully

137
00:07:47,849 --> 00:07:50,019
but also make it about
everybody else as well.

138
00:07:51,312 --> 00:07:54,982
- What a beautiful thing to have these
fans come in and to feel celebrated.

139
00:07:55,232 --> 00:07:57,612
For the dancers look at them in the eyes
and dance together.

140
00:07:59,778 --> 00:08:01,908
- When people who are watching it, they
feel like they have a place in the show.

141
00:08:01,989 --> 00:08:04,119
- It's exciting to see somebody
living in their truth,

142
00:08:04,199 --> 00:08:06,079
but also being so confident.

143
00:08:06,743 --> 00:08:08,543
- Let's go, Zürich!

144
00:08:09,079 --> 00:08:10,959
- BRIAN: That can be a spring point
for them to be, like,

145
00:08:11,039 --> 00:08:13,669
they are on-stage doing the same show
all across the world,

146
00:08:13,750 --> 00:08:15,290
I can do this in my own life.
