- Hi. - Here is.

He's gonna run you through some thought for the movie.

- Really nice to meet you guys.

I'm a huge fan.

Cute as a button every single one of you.

First scene, I'm talking massive dance number.

I'm thinking a hundred dancers, fireworks, the lot.

Dance is just so hot right now.

- Hey, you know I used to be a dancer?

- Really, what kind?

- Eh, mainly tap.

- Hmm. You got the shape for that.

- I want you to meet Leroy.

He's gonna be your choreographer.

Leroy.

- Hi, boys.

Hi.

Okay, so here's what I'm thinking.

First of, your number is gonna be really big.

Stay with me 'cause I'm quite quick and 5, 6, 7, 8.

And 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

And Niall, for the shimmy, for the Shimmy, for the Shimmy.

And Zayn, pirouette.

And Louis, do the splits.

And, Liam, you stay exactly where you are

because you are perfect.

- We'd never do that. - Oh.

- So that's something for us to work on.

Thanks, Leroy.

So let's take a look at some of the styling options

for the film.

Now, personally, I think this one is the one.

- Absolutely not.

- We'd never wear that.

- Right, how about this one?

- No. - It tested really well.

- Never in a million years.

- Ta-da.
