Here is a fuller video from rehearsal of the Rhythm Nation performance with Janet's former tour dancers including Jenna at the Hollywood Bowl. You can see Jenna in the background rehearsing the steps on the side of the stage until she comes on stage (she is in a "Janet SOTW Tour 2017" hoodie) then she comes on stage (with the other All For You tour dancers) to perform with Janet at the 1:05 mark in the video below and then she is on stage until the end of this video:

Thanks! I watched it over a few times to watch the other dancers as well, and thought Jenna was the best dancer on stage.

Cool. Only one rehearsal for the Hollywood Bowl performance! :nuts: That's interesting that she said Rhythm Nation is the hardest dance she's ever had to do.

Yeah another dancer who participated in the reunion, Nikki Pantenberg (a The Velvet Rope Tour dancer who is also the singer Babyface's wife) did an interview recently as well and said that there was a one day rehearsal with Janet which was earlier in the day but the same day as the Hollywood Bowl show. But Nikki also said there was also a non-mandatory rehearsal Friday (Janet didn't attend because she was preparing for the tour dancer reunion dinner which was also that Friday but after the rehearsals). Nikki said most dancers showed up (as you can see in Jenna's video talking about the tour dancer reunion) to the non-mandatory rehearsal and Anthony Thomas (Janet and him choreographed "Rhythm Nation" together) retaught the choreography to the dancers. So then on Sunday in the rehearsal with Janet it wouldn't be about them relearning the steps but more about going over the song multiple times for the staging of the different formations for when the different tour dancers would come on and off the stage.

I actually wasn't surprised Jenna said "Rhythm Nation" is the hardest dance she's ever had to do. Over the years many of Janet's former dancers have said that "Rhythm Nation" is one of the hardest routines they had to learn as a dancer or at the very least the hardest routine of any of Janet's songs because the choreography is so precise and intricate. Plus Janet often added more to the original choreography such as solo routines, an additional dance breakdown to the routine, and she even had a dance breakdown for "Rhythm Nation" that used nunchucks.

Janet used the nunchucks or her backup dancers did? :nuts:

The dancers looked so in sync for such a big group in the rehearsal with Janet!
