This week UCLA volunteer assistant coach and superstar choreographer BJ Das joins us to talk about her background as a dancer/gymnast, what she thinks makes a routine go viral, and the creative process of choregraphing a floor routine, including Nia Dennis' viral "Black Excellence" routine. We also discuss our thoughts on all of the viral college gymnastics floor routines and what we think causes a routine to go viral.
