3. 0:14i'm not sure if kathy will ever fit in with  these moms my daughter's supposed to be doing
4. 0:19her solo this weekend why isn't she working  with my kid no matter how successful chloe is
5. 0:24she's never successful enough in abby's  eyes coming up on dance moms happy birthday
6. 0:32melissa is very good at making friends  then using them for a personal game
7. 0:37vivianne you're going to do a solo in the  competition this weekend vivi was uncomfortable
8. 0:43with the solo that we worked on so we are going  to go ahead and do a piece that she already knows
9. 0:50brooks hip's been bothering her all week so  i decided to take her to dr vitale i really
10. 0:55don't think that it's a good thing for  her to be competing today or this weekend
11. 1:23your intermediate advanced tab  class let's go girls come on come on
12. 1:30vivianne where's your dance clothes
13. 1:35you need to be dressed and ready to  dance when you walk in this building
14. 1:39i want to recap a little bit about the competition  now there are some things that went on that maybe
15. 1:45you don't even know about your mom was upset about  the costume your mom was upset about the costume
16. 1:50before you went on stage that was over the top  inappropriate for little girls on stage gyrating
17. 1:56when they went down and opened their legs i almost  walked out there but that cannot happen again
18. 2:01we all know why we lost last week it was those  hideous trashy costumes but abby's never gonna
19. 2:07take the blame she's gonna blame us dance moms  let's talk about what we're gonna do this weekend
20. 2:11we're going to new jersey and we are going to  do an acrobatic gymnastic routine acrobatics is
21. 2:17an art form it uses the flexibility of the legs  and the back to execute slow controlled movement
22. 2:26overall i evaluated all of your performances so  maddie you won that competition and the title i'm
23. 2:32going to leave you right where you were yes maddie  is at the top of the pyramid for her performance
24. 2:38and her scoring and her overall behavior last  weekend however i chose to do an acrobatic routine
25. 2:46this weekend so i need to pull in my my ringer and  use brooke because she's amazing brooke i expect
26. 2:54you to help the younger students and i expect  you to know the choreography first and be able
27. 2:58to help everybody else i am shocked where brooke's  placed both of my girls are pretty good at acro so
28. 3:03why was it broken on the top all right nia paige  you'll be doing the tumbling part and the acro
29. 3:10part abby says she assigns based on last week's  performance but to be honest i think the pyramid's
30. 3:16really not going to change at all i think maddie  will be at the top and near will always be at the
31. 3:20bottom of the pyramid vivianne because you're  new here and you don't really know all of our
32. 3:25terminology i'm going to work privately with you  this week and so you're going to do a solo at the
33. 3:31competition this weekend this is the greatest  thing because i want vivi to do the competition
34. 3:37the title winning i want vivi to be me i want her  to dance and be just like i was all right girls
35. 3:42let's go get up get ready to rehearse moms thank  you very much vivi don't forget you need to be in
36. 3:48dance close whenever you walk in this room ready  to go all right one two three four five six seven
37. 4:00acrobatic routines take a lot longer to  perfect you have to build up the stamina
38. 4:05so we need to work really hard i need to know  what it's going to take to get my daughter
39. 4:10moved up on this pyramid why is maddie the top she  actually pyramids the kids and puts them in yes
40. 4:17okay so vivi was suck behind and i didn't  expect her to be on top i think there are
41. 4:23lots of ways you can give out assignments  but you do not have to put people in pyramids
42. 4:27is not the egyptian era just being the new  person coming in then why do you guys put
43. 4:33up with this she's the best choreographer she  just basically says she doesn't hear anything
44. 4:36from anybody else about she's pulling for the  dance that's what really abby doesn't understand
45. 4:40because she is missing the mother gene she's not  and you know i used to hear that all the time
46. 4:47being on the other side of the fence and being  the dance teacher and i know that you know you
47. 4:52guys are the dance moms but at my dance  studio what i get sick and tired of people
48. 4:57doing is trying to second-guess me but the dance  teacher does have to have a plan and sometimes
49. 5:02she can't convey it to you she just can't  do it at a drop of a hat ugh kathy i don't
50. 5:08know if kathy's going to make it in our group  okay if you want to be a dance teacher then
51. 5:12keep her at your dance studio and train her  yourself if you want to bring her to somebody
52. 5:15else then you sit upstairs like the rest  of the mothers don't tell anyone that you
53. 5:19would only have a child if you could keep it  in a fish tank and sprinkle in some fish food
54. 5:22no but i must tell you that i used to say  that a good thing would be kennel for kids
55. 5:45i knew it was kathy's birthday so i  wanted to do something special for her
56. 5:48it's really hard to trust people at the studio  so i think bonding with kathy is very important
57. 5:53she seems like a very sweet person and  very genuine person and that's how i am
58. 6:01so nice thank you melissa being friends with  kathy doesn't surprise me at all melissa
59. 6:10always becomes friends with the new people in the  studio who is wayne can we cut the cake i think
60. 6:16she has a hard time keeping friends because  people see through her i want the end okay
61. 6:21she is very good at making friends then using them  for a personal game that's just how melissa rolls
62. 6:38this is an acro dance everybody knows that's  brooks forte absolutely brooke should be front
63. 6:44and center maddie's not front and center  in this dance she's in the second row oh
64. 6:48but she's at the top of the pyramid i know it has  nothing to do with the acro dance i guarantee it
65. 6:52i don't know i i'm gonna go ask her go ahead i i  mean i i don't know what else to do confronting
66. 6:58abby is very difficult i've been doing it for  years ever since i was one of her students
67. 7:03and i still get a little scared wish me  luck please thank you good luck with that
68. 7:08if you're in the the bottom line of the pyramid  i think abby's trying to tell you something
69. 7:13and you know brooke's not abby's favorite  anymore so she's just like she'll punish
70. 7:17her you can do it kelly i don't think that  has anything to do with the acro dance ready
71. 7:23abby yes i think we need to watch yourself what  what's the problem with us just she's not at
72. 7:30the top of the pyramid for the week of an acro  dance it's just because she's always brooding
73. 7:34and miserable that's not the book i know brooke  is uh kind of going through that junior high
74. 7:41business that they all go through and she really  is an amazing acrobat and i don't want her to lose
75. 7:47that or give that up she's at the bottom of the  pyramid abby you you mean to tell me chloe is
76. 7:52above her in the pyramid and her gymnastics i mean  when does brooke go on stage and not pull it off
77. 7:57she always she she always look at the video of  the top dance oh she's not a topper yeah but an
78. 8:03acro dance brooke used to be abby's favorite she  had her front and center and every number had her
79. 8:09having 900 privates every week and i think abby  burns you out the book you know is now a teenager
80. 8:15and is changing well you need to nip that in  the bud because you don't want her to change
81. 8:20maybe she wants to do teenage things i don't  think it's that easy i've seen changes already
82. 8:26and it saddens me kelly what am i doing to class  yes it's really hard to get through to them and
83. 8:33say but you have this gift don't throw it all away  i know you're very happy with your life you have a
84. 8:38wonderful house you have a wonderful husband you  got a nice guy but kelly think of what you could
85. 8:43have been you settled you settled and you're  letting your kid do the same thing my mom would
86. 8:48have told me i had to come to dance class i would  have rebelled against him and kelly was my student
87. 8:54she was gorgeous and worked really hard and was  very dedicated up until about 12 or 13. and now
88. 9:01the same thing's happening with brooke like mother  like daughter i mean they're kids abby i know but
89. 9:05she's not she's 13 years old cheerleading all  of her friends from school cheer so i think
90. 9:10that's why brooke wants to so you're going to  send her to cheerleading so she can check her
91. 9:13pom-poms for some boy to go to college for free  brooke wants to be a professional performer but
92. 9:18the last time i checked cirque du soleil doesn't  hire cheerleaders let's go let's get back to work
93. 9:24abby's crazy i don't think abby's ever forgiven  me for quitting dance you know i've moved on
94. 9:30i have a life i have a family now and at the  end of the day all abby has is an empty studio
95. 9:36um no matter what i said i wasn't getting ahead  like that's not fair open it up it's the acro
96. 9:42number brook should be featured whether she wants  to come to dance or not girls let's go what time
97. 9:53is it it's four o'clock we have to be there 4 30  and it takes us 20 minutes to get there we got
98. 9:57to go i feel like i'm like dancing too much just  because like i never have time to like hang out
99. 10:02with my friends because they're always inviting me  to do stuff but i can never do it because of dance
100. 10:06let's go brock and i feel like my mom like really  wants me to dance just because like she doesn't
101. 10:13want me to like screw up and quit dance and be a  cheerleader like she did brooke what i am leaving
102. 10:21i don't want to get too bad i'm concerned brooke's  gonna quit dance like i did when i was little and
103. 10:28i really don't want her to make the same mistakes  i made brooke i'm leaving without you i don't care
104. 10:38why don't you want to go  carla because why it's boring
105. 10:45brooke reminds me a lot of myself when i was her  age casey and claudia asked me to go to the mall
106. 10:51but i can't go because i have dance like always
107. 10:55do you think they became junior miss dance from  going to the mall no they're cheerleaders i tried
108. 11:01to explain to her when i quit dance you know all  i did was go out with my friends and we went to
109. 11:07the mall and like i got nothing out of it let's  not go to the competition i was talented but i
110. 11:14just didn't want to be as dedicated to it as abby  wanted me to you committed to it you have to go
111. 11:21so let's go i think it's just the age i think  it's a teenager i think once she gets over the
112. 11:28hump of realizing there's nothing else really  that exciting out there i think she'll be fine
113. 11:36hello hi abby how are you are you ready to work  uh-huh okay when viviane came to work on her solo
114. 11:44her mother kathy dropped her off because she  was going to have lunch with melissa and i was
115. 11:49thrilled to get rid of kathy for the hour and a  half all right okay i'll talk to you later okay
116. 11:54have fun vivi is cute she's a nice little girl but  she's not at the level that kathy thinks she is
117. 12:00i don't know if privates with me are really what  she needs but hey if the check's clear let's do it
118. 12:07good chasse
119. 12:16vivi is not strong in acrobatics to the right  to the right to the right her jumps her leaps
120. 12:21are not as strong and she hasn't learned a lot of  the things step right kick left start over she's
121. 12:30dancing at a five six year old level instead  of a seven eight nine vivi needs to step it up
122. 12:36you have to keep your knees together she just  needs to be in class day after day after day
123. 12:40once she's with the dance company  she's gonna be more independent
124. 12:44and now we'll see if kathy can handle  that all right let's take her on the top
125. 12:47kid i decided to invite melissa to lunch today  information is power and i think if melissa wants
126. 12:59to be my friend then i can get some very useful  dirt about the other dance moms now do you know
127. 13:05the other husbands um like christy's husband yes  what do they do professionally kelly's husband
128. 13:11he um works for a family business well now  what about christie's husband chris's husband
129. 13:17works for children's hospital oh really  yeah he is he's a doctor no he's a writer
130. 13:22i'm not really sure and then what about  paulie's husband what does he do um he just
131. 13:27got a new job he was working in like non-profit  organizations okay so what does your husband do
132. 13:39i'm i'm going through a  divorce right now so i have no
133. 13:45yeah yeah the girls were okay with the divorce
134. 13:51melissa did not tell me that she was  living with another man who was paying
135. 13:55for her daughter's dance lessons i got that  from the other moms so i already knew that
136. 14:01melissa like you're like really really really  close with some of those other moms no um
137. 14:07you can't trust anybody melissa's in charge of  scheduling private lessons so i may need a favor
138. 14:14from time to time i told her if she needed to talk  about anything that she could definitely come and
139. 14:20confide to me but i'm busy i'm not going through  a divorce i have a new bff i think they're two
140. 14:26i feel sorry for people that are going  through divorces but i'm happy with my life

147. 15:06mall it's hard to be 13. exactly how do you tell  her oh you can't go to the mall with your friends

155. 16:04i went to lunch today with kathy
156. 16:07she's funny
157. 16:11i like melissa a lot but i don't trust her oh so  what did kathy have to say does she like it here
158. 16:17we really didn't talk about that that much  when she did say that it's very unorganized
159. 16:22i've caught her a lot of times lying to me it's  hard to call somebody that lies to you a friend
160. 16:27but their studio is very competitive they're  competitive against one another not really the
161. 16:32kids but more the parent yeah doesn't surprise  me so what did you have to say about me nothing
162. 16:42i'm gonna give this to you
163. 16:46you talking about my husband of them really so  what the hell did you know what did you talk
164. 16:55about she just asked about the husbands first of  all you don't really even know my husband second
165. 17:03why aren't you telling her about your situation  because you're the one in the middle of a divorce
166. 17:08does she know you're separated yeah  i'm not talking about it though
167. 17:12i don't understand why melissa even brought that  up oh by the way kathy was asking about your
168. 17:15husband she seemed weird i really we had a good  time it was nice if you're gonna gossip about
169. 17:21anybody's home situation and their men you need to  talk about yourself all right wherever you're near
170. 17:32a big city new york city new jersey the kids are  going to be amazing got it so give me a high five
171. 17:39brooke stop looking at your mother i am  the coach look at this your knees bent your
172. 17:45supporting foot's not turned out we have two days  before the starbound competition in new jersey
173. 17:50and my lead in the acrobatic routine brooke is  dragging her feet and slowing all the production
174. 17:56down let's go girls did you come here to dance  or to play come on brooke really is an amazing
175. 18:03acrobat and i don't want her to lose that  or give that up so i wanted to do a number
176. 18:07where the other children who are quite a bit  younger could have a role model to follow ready
177. 18:23i think that brooke one of the reasons why  she doesn't want to come comment because
178. 18:27with her dancing with kids this young like  especially in gymnastics she's more advanced
179. 18:33yeah i mean even her doing her that solo  part in there it just seems like she's bored
180. 18:54what's taking
181. 18:59brooke must have injured her hip several  weeks ago and it's now inflamed and it's
182. 19:05bothering her because we're doing all these  new routines i have to figure this out
183. 19:12what okay do you want me to see if i can  take you to the chiropractor real quick
184. 19:18what's the matter her hip and her ankle and she's  falling apart it's that old age i was just gonna
185. 19:25say you turned 13 and you're no good anymore  falling apart it's common for a dancer to dance
186. 19:29through an injury when i was a dancer i always  had complications you know you always had injuries
187. 19:36um either it was a sprained ankle or a pulled  muscle and you just had to work through it
188. 19:48it is wet why is your bag wet vivi how  we put my would it do have an explosion
189. 19:54oh my god vivi that always happens but this oh my  gosh what is that i don't know i don't understand
190. 20:02what you did don't stick with your foot here here  push all the way i hear you push your foot push
191. 20:09your heel forward that's beautiful vivianne is a  beautiful little girl if i start to discipline her
192. 20:15now on etiquette and appearance she is going  to grow up to be a very poised young woman
193. 20:20can you tell me about your solo i don't know do  you want to do your solo this weekend no i don't
194. 20:28want to do it you don't want to do it my mom wants  me to dance even more than i want to remember i
195. 20:34told you listen remember i told you that i would  be at the side of the stage what if i stand at the
196. 20:40side of the stage and i count for you no what  what do you think is going to happen if you
197. 20:45get up on stage mommy forget it what if we tried  practicing it no i still won't be able to do it so
198. 20:55how how am i supposed to handle this what do you  want me to do hmm look what happened last week you
199. 21:01went on stage and you did that duo with i know i  like to do dances with other people kind of solo
200. 21:11i just feel that vivi's very overwhelmed right  at the moment oh she has never had a solo before
201. 21:16going out on stage forgetting your dance and  then just standing there just standing there
202. 21:23and then finally running off is the is  the ultimate worst thing to happen at
203. 21:27competition not only are you embarrassed but  the judges they're not even going to score
204. 21:32you it's no different than a child  who comes into class and pees their
205. 21:36pants and doesn't want to go back in the  dance studio mentally she is not prepared
206. 21:46how you doing dr vitel very nice to meet  you guys come on back brooke's hip's been
207. 21:52bothering her all week she had pulled some  muscles and i'm just worried about how she's
208. 21:56going to be able to perform with it so i decided  to take her to a chiropractor for the first time
209. 22:02how did you heard it you know she's a dancer  okay and she does a lot of contortion tricks
210. 22:07is it like a sharp stabbing pain and achy  pain when i do a split and stuff it's like
211. 22:11shooting pink this is okay and what have you been  doing for it anything since it started we've put
212. 22:16ice on it okay um when it first happened that's  good and sometimes she sleeps with a heating pad
213. 22:22that's not good did you have practice problems  practicing you're gonna make stuff with split
214. 22:27settings as a mom i'm worried to allow her to go  on stage and perform an acrobatic routine because
215. 22:33it is very strenuous on the hip i just don't know  what to do i don't know if i should allow her or
216. 22:38if i should make her stay out okay what i want  you to do is gonna bend over okay just at your
217. 22:43waist tell me if it causes any problems right  there where do you feel the pain right here
218. 22:50okay i bought over to this side same place  okay football players play in games every
219. 22:59week on being injured you know i mean it's  just it's what you have to do i i think
220. 23:05brooke will be fine okay you're talking about  some serious problems we don't want to go there
221. 23:13at this point i really don't think  that it's a good thing for her to
222. 23:17be competing today or this weekend  to be honest with you we have to
223. 23:29this weekend we're going to starbound  and it's in board east new jersey
224. 23:32it is closer to new york city so i'm  hoping that the competition is gonna
225. 23:35be a little bit more fierce  okay we're all here let's go
226. 23:40the worst part of going to a competition  is the moms i wish they would just all
227. 23:44stay home steve i know how i know you do  you drive the bus to the wine fest and
228. 23:49stuff it's not a party it's not a vacation  they are there to work find a seat let's go

230. 24:07parkway abby is a nightmare to ride on a bus  with keep going straight bus driver i mean the
231. 24:14guy wants to kill himself he's thinking where did  i pick the short stick to end up with this bra

241. 25:19before with brooke being the feature acrobat of  this dance if she does not compete this weekend
242. 25:26we will lose the competition i think i hurt  my hip while i was dancing and i went to the
243. 25:32doctor to see what was wrong with it they think i  strained it you just have to grind that down those
244. 25:38hip flexors they catch on the bone as she's  growing and you need to open that turnout up
245. 25:42so as it happens it grinds down and then  it won't run anymore miss abby said that
246. 25:48i should like grind it down but that's  just her opinion i don't really trust her
247. 25:58another thing i want to talk to you about  honey i know that we've traveled a long way
248. 26:03and it's going to be disappointing  if we don't win the competition
249. 26:06so we have to be prepared for that  we couldn't have a let down okay
250. 26:10okay a little bit lighter okay okay  can you emphasize the k okay okay okay
251. 26:22we finally arrived in new jersey i was so grateful  usually when we go to dance competitions we arrive
252. 26:27the night before but not today of course we're  only arriving two hours early chloe's stressed out
253. 26:32i'm stressed out this is aging me a little bit  starbound talent competition voorhees new jersey
254. 26:40is right outside of new york city i'm sure we're  going to come up against some amazing studios
255. 26:46i think the judges are going to be looking  for technique definitely innovative ideas
256. 26:51high-end costumes and of course their performance  we only have two numbers competing this weekend
257. 26:57the acro group and i have viviane doing her  bumblebee solo so it's an easy weekend for me
258. 27:06let's read the big ones
259. 27:12they have broken pages
260. 27:21hi um i'm going to be backstage with you guys  i just want to go over a few things because
261. 27:26we have some it's all the title's missing uh i  have my pumps first and that's vivian right no
262. 27:33it's not my pumps it's called  bumblebee bumblebee but what's
263. 27:39yes you want to come with me what is this that's  what i'm confused about we need to okay kathy yes
264. 27:46what is with this little rock of music um vivi  was uncomfortable with the solo that we worked on
265. 27:57because she had such a lack of rehearsal time
266. 28:02and so we are going to go ahead and  do a piece that she already knows
267. 28:09our whole team is there to root for vivienne  so that she feels like part of the company
268. 28:14kathy informs me that she's gonna do another  routine i'm like what i'm just changing this
269. 28:20to independent entry you're doing what you're  changing it to independent yes she's not gonna
270. 28:26be going underneath your name i didn't do this  number but she's but she's gonna be representing
271. 28:33you not with a number i didn't do any costume i  didn't design okay can i see you outside please
272. 28:43we kind of went against the philosophy of abby  so consequently we had the wrath of abby upon us
273. 28:51please we need to change this independent  thing because it's important to us
274. 28:55i've never seen her even do the number i know  you're gonna have to trust me abby listen to me
275. 28:59i'm not one of these dance moms yeah i'm vivi's  mom and we're involved in dance but i'm not that
276. 29:05hysterical dance mom i know what is correct to  take to stage you and i are over here and if i
277. 29:12have to make an executive decision then you have  to trust me just as i will trust you kathy i came
278. 29:18through i got the costume finished the dance was  finished any other kid whether their mother's a
279. 29:24dance teacher or their mother's uh swimming  coach would have had that dance nailed down
280. 29:31she could not do a dance that abby lee  miller has never seen and pretend she
281. 29:36came from abby lee miller i have to put into  perspective what my child's mental capacity
282. 29:41is then she gets up on stage and she crashes  detrimental for any child but i'm just saying
283. 29:46you don't have the faith in your kid that i do if  you would have just ran it maybe ten times a day
284. 29:53we tried for the bribery we tried with getting  her to get an idea robert you're the mommy
285. 29:57i noticed i realized that i want to see  her dance first okay so you give me that
286. 30:04respect when she goes out for words i  want her in something red and black okay
287. 30:08okay then moms that go against me don't last  very long they are hurting their children
288. 30:18in changing vivi solo i knew the response i  was gonna get from abby face face her and i
289. 30:24are gonna have to work together hear it up  and step look she likes to say that i'm her
290. 30:31colleague for guns i may have to have special  favors that's different than the other moms

292. 30:45see your eyelashes she has bobby pins and silver  and gold and brown and black all in the kid's head

295. 31:13ready
296. 31:19ready featuring vinnie and  stein this little girl's now
297. 31:51when i'm judging i look at the level of difficulty
298. 31:55i think that vivienne is capable of doing  more difficult choreography than she was given
299. 32:09oh you made one boo-boo it's okay it's okay  i am going to pry her away from her mother
300. 32:15i am going to cut those apron strings and i  am going to make that child a better dancer

338. 38:19she hit all of her tumbling  passes all of the acro moves
339. 38:22and really was a great leader and a  good role model for the rest of the kids
340. 38:34at a competition like this start down this weekend  when i sit in the audience and i listen to the
341. 38:39awards either you want it all or you didn't  even place so it's it's really nerve-wracking
342. 38:58it was great to receive a special judges award  that kind of tells me that they appreciated
343. 39:03what i'm doing and then it stood out  to them among all the other numbers

348. 39:52great dancers up here now are all of you girls  really best friends of course of course i was
349. 39:59very nervous because of my hip and i didn't  think i would be able to do a lot of the things
350. 40:04but i guess we pulled it off  because we got first place
351. 40:08this weekend my friend asked me to go to the mall  with them and there was like two parties going on
352. 40:13but since we won everything like turned  out okay it's hard to decide which i would
353. 40:18have rather been to because i don't know how  the parties went because i was here instead
354. 40:23i'm very proud of brooke for pushing through it  and you know dealing with the pain and getting
355. 40:28up there and doing her best i think she did a  great job and we won it feels good to win smile
356. 40:35arms pretty good shoot it winning the  overall first place is the best you can

358. 40:46to keep them grounded so monday when we go back  into the studio i have to knock them down a few
359. 40:51pegs you have to keep a dancer humble there's  always room for improvement and that's my job
