ANNE FLETCHER:It was my first choreography job by myself, away from Adam Shankman who had started directing. It was such a big undertaking — it’s really still one of my favorite experiences, it’s one of the movies I’m the most proud of. Peyton really had a clear vision for the movie, so it wasn’t hard to give him what he needed. I got to hire Hi-Ha...
AF:We started camp — we called it camp — really early on, because I had a lot of actors who were not dancers or knew anything about cheerleading, so we had to give them the basics. I know I really wanted to not double anybody if I could, and really wanted to create choreography as much as we could with our real actors. The only one we had to double...
PEYTON REED:I had a responsibility to have it really preplanned in terms of the camera work and the way I was going to cut it, because in a cheer competition, generally speaking, the cheerleaders do the routine once and then get judged. And if they move on to the next level, they do it again. But here we were asking them to do these really strenuou...
PR:[Anne] really had a very different flavor and character for the choreography of the two different teams, and that was really important to the movie. Visually, those teams and their moves felt very different — the fact that the Clovers have a very funky take on “Brr, It’s Cold In Here” and then you go and see the Toros and they’ve got a much more...
AF:Oh my God! [Ian Roberts] was fantastic. Any time you can do something comedically with dance, is my favorite stuff — it was so silly and stupid. He’s a genius, and he played it so brilliantly, and yet his choreography is simply ridiculous. We have a lot of those frauds, I like to call them frauds, in every business. And he’s sort of one of those...
AF:I really love the opening number. [Screenwriter Jessica Bendinger’s] dialogue/lyrics for the opening dream sequence was so much fun to do, because I’m such a literal choreographer. So when you’re trying to figure out the physicalities that go along with the words, it’s so much fun. … It’s a great sequence.
AF:That was on-the-day choreography — fly by the seat of your pants, here we go, and just pulling each person and each group that danced together and giving them something to do. “And go, and shoot, and you’re doing this!” … We had so much fun. And they were having a great time. They had some choreography, but it was a time to let their personaliti...
AF:There’s a weird thing that you do know something’s going to work, and I just knew in my soul. I don’t know what Peyton’s answer would be. I’m sure that he would say, “No, of course not. You just want people to see your movie. You don’t know how big it’s going to be.” But I think I did. You just know when you’re on set what you’re shooting and ho...
