Welcome back to Between Bells. Lizzo is on the hunt. The superstar is looking for talented dancers to join her on tour of the truth hurts towards singers Chronicle Chronicle Chronicle, excuse me, this journey in her new Prime video series, Watch out for the Big Girls. Premiering March 25th on the platform cheddar. Senior reporter Michelle Castillo sat down with the whole cast to discuss the new show and of course their experience take a look. So I'm here at South by Southwest in person with Liz owes Big girls. Alright, so I understand you guys have a show on amazon Prime coming out, Can you tell me a little more about it? Right, wow! Well, yes, we have a show coming out on March 25th. It's called watch out for the Biggest Child and it's about um child, what can I say? It's about 10 women um staying in a house and we are training to become one of Lizzo background tour dancers and it's about us bonding and just going through experiences together and learning more about ourselves and getting to know others and just becoming comfortable in our bodies and just you know, growing as individuals and women in this community and it's Earth, you know, as big women. Okay. And it's also about showing positivity and showing big girls in a positive light, honey. Yes, because we need to be seen the revolution is being televised. So why should we watch out for the Big Girls? I think everybody needs to watch out for the big girls because we are all powerhouses when people see big women society has placed it in our brains since we were young girls and young women that were late, like we're lazy, we don't work out, we are not healthy, but all of us, we'd be in eight hour practices, We are on very strict, very strict plans and agendas for ourselves because dancing takes a lot of stamina and energy. So watch out for the big girls because people have doubted us for far too long. And we're about to show out. And speaking of like dancing, you said training for eight hours, How long have you been dancing for? How? And how did you get started dancing? So, me personally, I've been dancing since I was two years old, so 21 years. Um I've trained in ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, contemporary hip hop. Um lots of things and that's kind of what my life has been just training for dance. So that's what Sidney said, like big girls can do it all like we can do every style of dance, we can get up, we can get low, we can do whatever. So yes, watch out for the big girls. And yeah, so what is your signature move? My signature move? So I do my little K Pop. I am a K Pop dancer. So I love using my hair and showing that angle, giving a little whack. You know, just serving what I got, you know, let's get your signature. Oh okay, so I think people love to see a big girl busted split. Okay, so when I kick my leg up and come down, like, bam, like, it just makes the crowd go crazy and you know, I just want to show them that, you know, big girls are flexible too, so don't sleep on us. You know what? You guys seem like you're all getting along, even though it was a competition show. So what was it really like living in the house? Mhm. We hate each other. I'm kidding. Honestly. I mean, the whole experience, like, the competition was with ourselves, you know, it wasn't us putting each other against the other person or anything like that, the whole entire premises, just building a sisterhood. And I think that that's exactly what we did in showing the world that we're here to stay, we're here to slay period period. I totally lost my train of thoughts. And what was it like working with lizzo? Okay, it was incredible. Working with lizzo. I think that she is a powerhouse and herself, she is spiritually connected. It is beautiful. She just has this energy about her. It's just, she's fun, she's energetic, she's about her business. Okay, A businesswoman we love and she's a boss. So it just boss mentality all day. She just spread it throughout the house. So I definitely loved working with her, and if I know you guys are talking about body positivity and really just keeping up energy um if there's something like do you have a personal mantra to keep you positive when people, the haters are trying to bring you down? Um Yes and I say often, like I just said it 50 million times before when you are ready to give up, always remember why you started you have a purpose, you know you are here, we do not chase dreams, we catch them. Okay and what about you personal mantra? My personal mantra, especially for my own daughters, I have two of them is believe in yourself because nobody can take away the plan that God has for you and you have to pray for it and you have to be specific and you say with conviction and you look up in the mirror and say oh my God, it's me so much product on me. I'm a prodigy, I'm a do my thing, no apology coconut and rose and my no, but believe in yourself because you can manifest anything in life and I'm gonna let you have the final word. Why should we start watching the show? Because you're gonna miss out if you don't and that's it. You're gonna miss out if you don't watch the show on March 25 by yourself. It's on Amazon prime video by the way I saw these women perform live and they were incredible thanks to the cast of Liz owes watch out for the Big Girls all eight episodes hitting prime video on March 25th
