Making of Episode 7
Episode 7 picks up HEAVILY from the dead space episode 6 emulated. We FINALLY filmed in a location other than the studio for the first time in a while which was beneficial for the overall energy of the episode. A lot of the funny moments that were caught over the course of this season were included in this episode which contributes to the flow greatly. Also this is personally my comedic peak for the series if i do say so myself lmfao, I don't know what I was on but i couldnt stop myself throughout the week this filming took place.
Who Is She?
Starting With The End
So the episode opens on us teaching and practicing the ending section of our set. The concept came about one practice when we were fucking around tryna come up with solid choreography but it evolved into fake cheerleading moves combined with cartwheels through some miracle of absurdity. Of course not everyone being capable and Kevin being a former gymnastics captain, we had to instruct and drill how to do a cartwheel with everyone to make sure they could you know... do it.
GO AWF KALYAAAAA
Over Before It Began
SOOOOOO the mini crews unfortunately were unable to do Dance 4 Peace off of a new rule not allowing people to perform more than twice. This rule came from the previous year where several people were in up to 3 performances and apparently was problematic for the planning committee behind the event. Clearly showing where their loyalties lie > SHADE the Mini Crews then decided to pull out from the event despite making it through auditions.
For Nuthin
SIDE RANT: I personally have a MASSIVE issue with this especially when it comes to Mill Advised. The purpose of the group is to expand and grow to be a FORCE within Lowell and ultimately the East Coast but when over half our members are committed to several groups and wont prioritize ours then how IN.DA.FUQ. are we supposed to grow. I find the decision to be on several groups to be selfish and this is unfortunately a foreshadowing for the Fall season I'll discuss at the end of the series...
mmm
Technicalities
TECH REHEARSAL - a sacred rite of passage when it comes to Dance 4 Peace... at least it used to be. This year's location was different from previous years which already made the vibe off when we arrived but overall the experience was underwhelming and a massive disconnect for the community. No one watched anyone, everyone talked throughout and obviously from the footage its clear we were just messing around the ENTIRE TIME. We performed n that was really it but we got some entertaining footage from it that in the end of the day was all we need for the web series A-HAAAAAAAAA

Caught On Camera
Fun Fact: the footage of Kevin TALKIN.DAT.SHIT. is real. Its not scripted, I wasnt behind the camera, I wasnt in the building, someone managed to catch the discussion on camera and then I found the footage later. Its honestly not that deep of a situation tho lmao, they were discussing the show order for Dance 4 Peace and just imitating how Id react to it - which is somewhat accurate and exactly how i did react LAWLZ. However seeing the video while sifting through footage mid season I chose to take advantage of the situation and ask our members who were there if he had been talkin shit to build some minor DRAMA. Kevin was suspicious because i told him to leave the room when I asked them so he of course later asked them himself. He still aint shit tho.
Subtle
In Conclusion
Hands down this is my favorite episode of the season. The flow of everything, the comedic moments, the change of scenery and the not/scripted drama all add to what I hoped the entire series would be like but ALAS with a reality-docu series you cant do much to change how things actually are without fully scripting. This of course doesn't mean future episodes are trash either, the series keeps up this energy going forward up until the conclusion. Personally this episode is just a fav~
NEXT WEEK: we get into the nitty gritty of drilling but also dedicate some time to chilling so we hope youll join us for some time killing NAILED IT
