- 1:11Floor come on girls let's go let's go
- 1:14let's
- 1:15go let's be happy and think about our
- 1:19Victory shall
- 1:21we the ABY Lee Dance Company is on a
- 1:24roll the kids get better they get
- 1:26stronger every single day we beat Kathy
- 1:29without out Kelly's kids now you did a
- 1:31group routine and that group routine was
- 1:36outstanding not only did we beat the
- 1:39crab apples I think that you worked
- 1:42together on a whole and I think Payton
- 1:44what you bring to the team is that you
- 1:46want to be here were we missing two team
- 1:49members yeah Brook and paig they don't
- 1:51want to be here The Supremes The
- 1:53Temptations even the Beatles replaced
- 1:57people in the group
- 2:01keep that in mind I really don't like
- 2:02the way Abby's acting she's acting like
- 2:04Kelly and her girls are going to be
- 2:05replaced by pton and Leslie Brooke and
- 2:08Paige have danced for the alc since they
- 2:09were three they're not replaceable
- 2:13first we have Brooke no apology no text
- 2:18and I know she has her phone with her
- 2:19Brook's 15 years old she knows what's
- 2:22going on and she knows right from wrong
- 2:24and that leads me to Paige if Paige
- 2:27wanted to dance Paige would have come to
- 2:29dance time
- 2:31all right moving on
- 2:34Payton in the dressing room at the
- 2:36competition I heard a little smart mouth
- 2:39just so all of you know my name is
- 2:40Payton it's not Kendall it's not Brooke
- 2:42it's none of you it's pton yes yes she
- 2:45wasn't getting smart she was just
- 2:47letting you know her name I know her
- 2:48name's pton then call her pton not
- 2:50Kendall not Brooke
- 2:52Payton how about if I call her
- 2:57replaceable now we have as
- 3:01Asia finally you did the choreography
- 3:04you were given you didn't pull Focus but
- 3:06I think whatever you do in the future
- 3:08you need to do both you need to be a
- 3:10star when that opportunity is available
- 3:14and I need you to be an ensemble dancer
- 3:16and learn how to take Direction when it
- 3:18calls for it
- 3:20yes and last on my bottom Rong here is
- 3:23McKenzie McKenzie you also did a great
- 3:26job in the group routine I'm Flor that
- 3:29kin's above Asia right now because Asia
- 3:32that is not her style that's not keny
- 3:34style either though I want I'm just
- 3:35curious to see why kin's above her now
- 3:38they're on the same row but it does make
- 3:39a difference I just disagree I think
- 3:42Asia danced with this group better and
- 3:44she was in a style that she is not
- 3:46normally in and she pulled it off well
- 3:49McKenzie you got on the prop you had to
- 3:51jump off the prop she did the chinin on
- 3:53the prop and she did an aerial off the
- 3:55prop that's why she's ahead of her I
- 3:57don't think Christy Ray had a right to
- 3:58be mad that Kenzie was higher than Asia
- 4:02and Abby said because she didn't stick
- 4:04out she just was basic just like the
- 4:06other kids and
- 4:09next we have Chloe now Chloe you did
- 4:13well in the group dance and you also did
- 4:15well in the trio sometimes you win the
- 4:17battle but you lose the
- 4:20war and next we have Maddie you do
- 4:25everything right but if you're up here
- 4:28all the time winning
- 4:30you're going to quit working Maddie
- 4:32needs to keep pushing herself and if she
- 4:34keeps winning all the time she might end
- 4:37up just like Brooke you've been using
- 4:39that
- 4:40face for lyrical routines for the last
- 4:43how many
- 4:46competitions but I want to see you dig
- 4:48just a little bit
- 4:50deeper I want to see your facial
- 4:52expression change Maddie needs to stay
- 4:55hungry I have seen way too many students
- 4:59Peak
- 5:00when they're 12 years old I am not going
- 5:02to let that happen to Maddie if you win
- 5:06too much when you're little you quit
- 5:09working next we're moving on to Kendall
- 5:13last week you were on top of the pyramid
- 5:15you did a trio you did a group routine
- 5:18outstanding and your mother she stood in
- 5:22that dressing room and she had to take
- 5:25some really nasty horrible crap and your
- 5:28mother stood up for me she stood up for
- 5:30the rest of the team I hate fighting
- 5:32with Kathy and her moms but if it's
- 5:35going to keep Kendall towards the top of
- 5:37the pyramid it's worth the battle I
- 5:39think somebody is waiting with baited
- 5:41breath and the top of the pyramid is
- 5:46Nia now I'm sure that all of you are
- 5:49wondering why Nia is at the top of the
- 5:53pyramid Nia is the only child that came
- 5:56to me at the conclusion of the
- 5:58competition and said what can I do
- 6:00better were there any mistakes that I
- 6:03made in the trio or in the group dance
- 6:05yes you were too far away at the end so
- 6:08niia
- 6:10[Applause]
- 6:11congratulations I can't remember the
- 6:14last time that I was on the top of the
- 6:15pyramid I've worked so hard and it's
- 6:18great that Abby finally sees that I have
- 6:21good news this week the competition is

- 6:38routine the name of the group routine is
- 6:41on the
- 6:42verge sometimes there comes a moment
- 6:45when you lose
- 6:47it you saw a woman you know very well
- 6:51spiraling out of control never in 40
- 6:54years of being in ABY Lee dance company
- 6:56has anyone been giving a solo the day of
- 6:59the recital out you're out pleas how
- 7:04many people are walking around on the
- 7:07verge the grip dance this week is called

- 7:11a drink now I have three
- 7:15solos Chloe your featured Trio spot was
- 7:19outstanding so this week you're going to
- 7:21be doing a solo entitled fired up it has
- 7:25a Latin influence I'm really excited to
- 7:27have a solo but I've never done the
- 7:29Latin routine so I don't know what's
- 7:31going to happen
- 7:33Kendall you will be performing a solo it
- 7:36will be contemporary lyrical and the
- 7:39routine is called under my spell I am so
- 7:43excited that Kendall's given a lyrical
- 7:45solo this week the lyrical solos are
- 7:47usually reserved for Maddie this is a
- 7:50huge opportunity for Kendall to prove
- 7:52that she can handle a Maddy solo and
- 7:55score well with it and I have one more
- 7:57solo
- 8:03Nia oh
- 8:06Nia Mia it's been a long time since
- 8:09you've had a solo and I remember a while
- 8:11back that you and the other moms and
- 8:13everybody thought that it would be just
- 8:16wonderful to pay tribute to Broadway
- 8:18baby I disagreed I didn't think the
- 8:21timing was right I might be seeing
- 8:24Broadway baby again I mean that I had
- 8:26Broadway baby preserved
- 8:30but what I'm getting to Nia is that you
- 8:33are going to do the Broadway baby
- 8:36routine
- 8:41a I have to find my
- 8:45pillowcase my girls and I were very
- 8:47close to Broadway baby we took care of
- 8:49her when she was sick and I was
- 8:52devastated when she passed Maddie would
- 8:54have loved to have done a tribute to
- 8:57Broadway baby but I know that aby's just
- 8:59trying to teach her a lesson all right
- 9:02girls we are 4 weeks away from Nationals
- 9:05but it's time that I start looking for
- 9:08who's going to be doing a solo when we
- 9:10get there I'll be watching you let's
- 9:13spread apart let's start warming up moms
- 9:16go
- 9:17[Music]
- 9:20ahead what if you did brush whack
- 9:24through that leg behind you use your
- 9:27momentum on the verge is a very
- 9:30difficult piece it's about women on the
- 9:33verge of a breakdown and I think the
- 9:35kids are going to do a great job with
- 9:37this piece take your bodyy lower your
- 9:38left shoulder come on thank figure out
- 9:41what you're doing why why why can't you
- 9:43stay there you know what's kind of funny
- 9:45is I've never seen Abby put anybody like
- 9:48third spot on the pyramid like she did
- 9:50Maddie for being too perfect did anybody
- 9:53else catch that I mean it's weird cuz
- 9:56Maddie should have been at the top but
- 9:58every week it's something
- 10:01excuse me Melissa did you really just
- 10:04say Maddie should have been at the top
- 10:05of the pyramid you know I know you're
- 10:07freaking out because Maddie didn't get
- 10:09the Broadway baby Solo or any solo for
- 10:11that matter maybe all that poop scooping
- 10:13really didn't pay off did it because
- 10:15Nia's the one doing the solo really
- 10:17happy for Nia that she has a solo that's
- 10:19an enormous
- 10:20responsibility to do a tribute for
- 10:22Broadway baby it better be good and
- 10:25perfect because she will hold her to it
- 10:27really these moms are too much Holly's
- 10:30been begging for a solo for months now
- 10:32Nia has a solo and now it's too much
- 10:34responsibility Asia can dance with any
- 10:37subject matter with no complaints
- 10:38because she's a professional Slow Down
- 10:40slow down she's seven you're 15 you're
- 10:44in charge if you can't do this to her
- 10:47come here if you can't do
- 10:50this and slow her down you're not a
- 10:53leader Brooke wasn't a leader I needed
- 10:55her to step up and take charge of this
- 10:56team and she didn't sorry I have to here
- 11:00I just don't think once you've left
- 11:01three times there's got to be a time
- 11:04where you leave and you are not welcome
- 11:05back being on the elite competition team
- 11:08is a great opportunity for any dancer
- 11:11and Kelly is not going to take that away
- 11:13from my daughter not one of you women
- 11:15feel just a tad bit upset that she
- 11:17constantly picks up and leaves this team
- 11:19well Leslie you're also just desperate
- 11:21to be on the team so say what you mean
- 11:22you don't like
- 11:25me Leslie better be careful you know

- 19:22go Chloe's solo is called fired up it's
- 19:25a Spanish routine I want her to learn
- 19:28proper Spanish arms some new steps and

- 19:53stage it's it's you're dancing with your
- 19:55whole body you're dancing with your face
- 19:57you're telling the story
- 19:59okay you're
- 20:00finished you know Christy you and I are
- 20:03kind of like in the same boat does it
- 20:05bother you that Asia just doesn't get
- 20:07that time with the solo Leslie is
- 20:09unbelievable other than Maddie if
- 20:11there's one other child that's gotten
- 20:13preferential treatment it's Asia Abby
- 20:15said before Asia can take the World by
- 20:17storm she has to learn to perform in a
- 20:20group dance what are you here for for
- 20:22Asia to dance with the team or to learn
- 20:24from Abby I'm just curious let me just
- 20:26make a statement Asia 7 she did amazing
- 20:28in last week's group and so when Abby
- 20:30says a comment like that she contradicts
- 20:31herself from weight to weight so I'm
- 20:33used to it and those comments don't
- 20:34bother me because as has already proved
- 20:35herself I hope that answers your
- 20:37questions Jill because if you want to

- 21:38that she didn't do you think she
- 21:39deliberately did not invite Melissa you
- 21:42think that was deliberate you going to
- 21:43call her and just try to clear things up
- 21:45so you can I did call her Kell's
- 21:47refusing to talk to me she didn't invite
- 21:50me to her house for drinks I don't
- 21:51really care we've been friends for so
- 21:53many years and we've gone through a lot
- 21:55together and she's been there for me and
- 21:56I've been there for her and you know
- 21:58we'll just have to get through it all
- 22:00right well I think Jill and Holly we
- 22:02need to get ready to go to

- 22:06[Applause]
- 22:08Kelly's we are the only three moms this
- 22:11week with children with solos that's
- 22:13right I had some of the Moms come over
- 22:16just to discuss like my situation that I
- 22:18have at the studio and with Abby so what
- 22:20have your kids been doing Brook's been
- 22:22doing her songs um the one song is
- 22:25almost on being recorded oh oh that's
- 22:31[Applause]
- 22:32[Music]
- 22:38exciting already you have oh my God
- 22:41you've gone two weeks and look what
- 22:43she's done that's ter that's amazing
- 22:45actually than you thank you that's very
- 22:47so you will come back I'm not fighting
- 22:49with Abby and I'm not asking her to come
- 22:52back haage and Brooke are already on the
- 22:54pyramid their shots are there their
- 22:56photos are up Abby whether she wants to
- 22:59admit it or not she wants those girls on
- 23:01the team so what do I do if I come to
- 23:03the competition and she like makes a big
- 23:05stink about it oh she
- 23:07will what if we gave her one free punch
- 23:09at Melissa that would L you back it
- 23:11would be at Abby the things that Abby
- 23:13and Melissa do are hurting all of our
- 23:15kids I just want things to be better for
- 23:18all of the girls I I'm not going to like
- 23:20invite her over my home when a week ago
- 23:23or two weeks ago you stabbed my kid in
- 23:25the back and looked right at me and was
- 23:27like I don't know what you want me to do
- 23:29I want to open your mouth as an educator
- 23:32it's hard for me to watch a parent do
- 23:34that in front of a whole room full of
- 23:37kids like what Abby did was wrong it was
- 23:39okay for her to do no no it wasn't okay
- 23:42for her to do that either Kelly's being
- 23:44really immature right now she made a
- 23:46spectacle she's being incredibly
- 23:47stubborn but right now she needs to suck
- 23:49it up and come back to the team okay you
- 23:52said that you know you would have
- 23:53probably thrown me out because you know
- 23:55you were a principal and all that and
- 23:57you say I'm wrong for sticking speaking
- 23:58up for them for that and I feel like
- 24:00that's you being against me I just feel
- 24:02like Holly sometimes needs to get out of
- 24:05her mindset that she's a teacher because
- 24:07you're mom before you're a teacher my
- 24:09kid isn't the only kid that gets picked
- 24:11on I'm trying to just be a group and and
- 24:14stick up for everybody and I just don't
- 24:15feel like anybody ever backs me
- 24:16everybody always thinks I'm crazy we do
- 24:19back you I back you no you don't you not
- 24:22verbal I just can't step in and say yeah
- 24:25Abby yeah it doesn't seem like Kelly
- 24:27cares about
- 24:29dance or being a part of this team or
- 24:32anything if Kelly doesn't come back that
- 24:34just means more solos for Kendall I
- 24:36think both of you have seen how well it
- 24:38works for Melissa to do whatever Abby
- 24:40wants to keep their kids in her good
- 24:42graces and I think that you both are
- 24:44headed down that path are you insane
- 24:46absolutely not when we all agreed not to
- 24:48send our kids to aby's West Coast
- 24:49competition I said to all of you on the
- 24:51phone I was asked here and now I said no
- 24:56so I need all of you to guarantee if
- 24:58you're asked you're going to say no Abby
- 25:00did ask Kendall to go she didn't ask her
- 25:02to perform so I said no I'm not going to
- 25:05go but if she would have been asked to
- 25:07perform I can't say that probably not
- 25:10it's time for me to kick this out
- 25:12you need to see yourself to the door did
- 25:14you just say that in the past the moms
- 25:17have always stuck together but I don't
- 25:19think I can say that any longer why do
- 25:21you want to be divided all the time I'm
- 25:23not divided all the time I didn't lay
- 25:25down the gauntlet what's the gauntlet

- 39:16than fourth place would be Kelly
- 39:19crashing the
- 39:20competition I think I've had enough it's
- 39:23time for me to go home so what do we
- 39:25think of the number ladies I'd love did
- 39:27I thought it was really good I it thank
- 39:30you this is Payton's second week now
- 39:32with the team not on the team with the
- 39:36team just
- 39:38saying it's very difficult coming into
- 39:41you ladies you ladies have this pack and
- 39:43it's known you run quite a few people
- 39:45off including myself a few
- 39:47times when you're here I'm not here
- 39:50because that's the reason you're here is
- 39:51you're replacing Brooke why why be here
- 39:54then if you you know this is happening
- 39:56with Abby I'm part of this team and my
- 39:58kids are part of this team and we're
- 40:01going to be part of this team whether
- 40:02Abby likes it or not the truth is we're
- 40:05really not a team without Kelly and her
- 40:07girls and frankly I'm afraid to go to
- 40:08Nationals without them I want them back
- 40:11you wouldn't like me on this team anyway
- 40:12though because I would do everything for
- 40:14my kid I want to hurt your kids but if
- 40:17my child gets an opportunity I'm taking
- 40:19it why not just raising dancers we're
- 40:21raising people no matter how much I want
- 40:24Nia to succeed in life if she's not a
- 40:26good person then I have failed and that
- 40:28might be the reason why Leslie doesn't
- 40:30quite fit in here even Melissa and jel
- 40:32the biggest Dance Moms around want more
- 40:34for their daughters than stardom or fame
- 40:37I'd rather be who I am and be not a
- 40:39success on Broadway because I can look
- 40:41myself in a mirror for dance on a stage
- 40:44when opportunity comes knock and you
- 40:46better take advantage of it hey what
- 40:47kind of kid are you raising I want my
- 40:49daughter to have this shame on you okay
- 40:51well I'm going to be open right now I'm
- 40:52tired of this chitchat and if my
- 40:55daughter doesn't get a solo then I'll
- 40:56leave and take the next opportunity and
- 40:58work in La I'm tired of this chat I'm
