Ever wondered what it’s like to cram a high-energy dance number into a kitchen the size of a shoebox while the clock sneaks past midnight? KayCee spills the beans on filming “Work This Out,” a scene that was anything but status quo—it was chaos, charm, and toast perfectly timed (yes, literal popping toast!) all rolled into one. Now, if today’s cosmos nudges us toward multitasking madness under a tight deadline—say, Mercury doing a bit of backflips in restless Gemini—then KayCee and co. were practically dancing on those cosmic vibes. Between slap-happy late nights, improvised tap duels with Corbin Bleu, and a backstage camaraderie that felt like summer camp gone wild, this number wasn’t just a scene; it was pure magic, imperfections and all. Oh, and the lyrics? Let’s just say Martha’s mall escapade had us all wanting to join her sisterly spree. Curious how this all came together into one masterpiece of musical mayhem? LEARN MORE.
KayCee: “Work This Out” was a monumental feat to film. We thought “Stick to the Status Quo” had a lot of moving parts — imagine now we’re in a tight kitchen. We were filming into the wee hours of the night, so we’re slap-happy and tired. Nobody wanted to be the one to mess it up and have to start over. It was definitely one of my personal favorites to film, even though it was a high-stress situation trying to get everything perfect.
We had the opportunity to play off of each other. There was a little improv moment with Corbin [Bleu] and me. We’re both tap dancers, and Kenny saw us in rehearsal just playing around. He was like, “KayCee, Corbin, go at it during this little section.”
There’s a part where toast pops out, and that was all real. Monique [Coleman] and I had to perfectly time when we popped the toast.
Chris [Warren] and Ryne [Sanborn], who played Zeke and Jason, were my little best buddies. They made it a goal to make me laugh during the scene. It really felt like a bunch of kids away at summer camp, having the time of their lives, but also making this masterpiece.
“Work This Out” had my favorite lyrics for Martha. It was just so perfect. “Hit the mall with all my sisters!”
