  32. 1:19Victory shall
  33. 1:21we the ABY Lee Dance Company is on a
  34. 1:24roll the kids get better they get
  35. 1:26stronger every single day we beat Kathy
  36. 1:29without out Kelly's kids now you did a
  37. 1:31group routine and that group routine was
  38. 1:36outstanding not only did we beat the
  39. 1:39crab apples I think that you worked
  40. 1:42together on a whole and I think Payton
  41. 1:44what you bring to the team is that you
  42. 1:46want to be here were we missing two team
  43. 1:49members yeah Brook and paig they don't
  44. 1:51want to be here The Supremes The
  45. 1:53Temptations even the Beatles replaced
  46. 1:57people in the group
  47. 2:01keep that in mind I really don't like
  48. 2:02the way Abby's acting she's acting like
  49. 2:04Kelly and her girls are going to be
  50. 2:05replaced by pton and Leslie Brooke and
  51. 2:08Paige have danced for the alc since they
  52. 2:09were three they're not replaceable
  53. 2:13first we have Brooke no apology no text
  54. 2:18and I know she has her phone with her
  55. 2:19Brook's 15 years old she knows what's
  56. 2:22going on and she knows right from wrong
  57. 2:24and that leads me to Paige if Paige
  58. 2:27wanted to dance Paige would have come to
  59. 2:29dance time
  60. 2:31all right moving on
  61. 2:34Payton in the dressing room at the
  62. 2:36competition I heard a little smart mouth
  63. 2:39just so all of you know my name is
  64. 2:40Payton it's not Kendall it's not Brooke
  65. 2:42it's none of you it's pton yes yes she
  66. 2:45wasn't getting smart she was just
  67. 2:47letting you know her name I know her
  68. 2:48name's pton then call her pton not
  69. 2:50Kendall not Brooke
  70. 2:52Payton how about if I call her
  71. 2:57replaceable now we have as
  72. 3:01Asia finally you did the choreography
  73. 3:04you were given you didn't pull Focus but
  74. 3:06I think whatever you do in the future
  75. 3:08you need to do both you need to be a
  76. 3:10star when that opportunity is available
  77. 3:14and I need you to be an ensemble dancer
  78. 3:16and learn how to take Direction when it
  79. 3:18calls for it
  80. 3:20yes and last on my bottom Rong here is
  81. 3:23McKenzie McKenzie you also did a great
  82. 3:26job in the group routine I'm Flor that
  83. 3:29kin's above Asia right now because Asia
  84. 3:32that is not her style that's not keny
  85. 3:34style either though I want I'm just
  86. 3:35curious to see why kin's above her now
  87. 3:38they're on the same row but it does make
  88. 3:39a difference I just disagree I think
  89. 3:42Asia danced with this group better and
  90. 3:44she was in a style that she is not
  91. 3:46normally in and she pulled it off well
  92. 3:49McKenzie you got on the prop you had to
  93. 3:51jump off the prop she did the chinin on
  94. 3:53the prop and she did an aerial off the
  95. 3:55prop that's why she's ahead of her I
  96. 3:57don't think Christy Ray had a right to
  97. 3:58be mad that Kenzie was higher than Asia
  98. 4:02and Abby said because she didn't stick
  99. 4:04out she just was basic just like the
  100. 4:06other kids and
  101. 4:09next we have Chloe now Chloe you did
  102. 4:13well in the group dance and you also did
  103. 4:15well in the trio sometimes you win the
  104. 4:17battle but you lose the
  105. 4:20war and next we have Maddie you do
  106. 4:25everything right but if you're up here
  107. 4:28all the time winning
  108. 4:30you're going to quit working Maddie
  109. 4:32needs to keep pushing herself and if she
  110. 4:34keeps winning all the time she might end
  111. 4:37up just like Brooke you've been using
  112. 4:39that
  113. 4:40face for lyrical routines for the last
  114. 4:43how many
  115. 4:46competitions but I want to see you dig
  116. 4:48just a little bit
  117. 4:50deeper I want to see your facial
  118. 4:52expression change Maddie needs to stay
  119. 4:55hungry I have seen way too many students
  120. 4:59Peak
  121. 5:00when they're 12 years old I am not going
  122. 5:02to let that happen to Maddie if you win
  123. 5:06too much when you're little you quit
  124. 5:09working next we're moving on to Kendall
  125. 5:13last week you were on top of the pyramid
  126. 5:15you did a trio you did a group routine
  127. 5:18outstanding and your mother she stood in
  128. 5:22that dressing room and she had to take
  129. 5:25some really nasty horrible crap and your
  130. 5:28mother stood up for me she stood up for
  131. 5:30the rest of the team I hate fighting
  132. 5:32with Kathy and her moms but if it's
  133. 5:35going to keep Kendall towards the top of
  134. 5:37the pyramid it's worth the battle I
  135. 5:39think somebody is waiting with baited
  136. 5:41breath and the top of the pyramid is
  137. 5:46Nia now I'm sure that all of you are
  138. 5:49wondering why Nia is at the top of the
  139. 5:53pyramid Nia is the only child that came
  140. 5:56to me at the conclusion of the
  141. 5:58competition and said what can I do
  142. 6:00better were there any mistakes that I
  143. 6:03made in the trio or in the group dance
  144. 6:05yes you were too far away at the end so
  145. 6:08niia
  146. 6:10[Applause]
  147. 6:11congratulations I can't remember the
  148. 6:14last time that I was on the top of the
  149. 6:15pyramid I've worked so hard and it's
  150. 6:18great that Abby finally sees that I have
  151. 6:21good news this week the competition is

  158. 6:41on the
  159. 6:42verge sometimes there comes a moment
  160. 6:45when you lose
  161. 6:47it you saw a woman you know very well
  162. 6:51spiraling out of control never in 40
  163. 6:54years of being in ABY Lee dance company

  170. 7:15solos Chloe your featured Trio spot was
  171. 7:19outstanding so this week you're going to
  172. 7:21be doing a solo entitled fired up it has
  173. 7:25a Latin influence I'm really excited to
  174. 7:27have a solo but I've never done the
  175. 7:29Latin routine so I don't know what's
  176. 7:31going to happen
  177. 7:33Kendall you will be performing a solo it
  178. 7:36will be contemporary lyrical and the
  179. 7:39routine is called under my spell I am so
  180. 7:43excited that Kendall's given a lyrical
  181. 7:45solo this week the lyrical solos are
  182. 7:47usually reserved for Maddie this is a
  183. 7:50huge opportunity for Kendall to prove
  184. 7:52that she can handle a Maddy solo and
  185. 7:55score well with it and I have one more
  186. 7:57solo
  187. 8:03Nia oh
  188. 8:06Nia Mia it's been a long time since
  189. 8:09you've had a solo and I remember a while
  190. 8:11back that you and the other moms and
  191. 8:13everybody thought that it would be just
  192. 8:16wonderful to pay tribute to Broadway
  193. 8:18baby I disagreed I didn't think the
  194. 8:21timing was right I might be seeing
  195. 8:24Broadway baby again I mean that I had
  196. 8:26Broadway baby preserved
  197. 8:30but what I'm getting to Nia is that you
  198. 8:33are going to do the Broadway baby
  199. 8:36routine
  200. 8:41a I have to find my
  201. 8:45pillowcase my girls and I were very
  202. 8:47close to Broadway baby we took care of
  203. 8:49her when she was sick and I was
  204. 8:52devastated when she passed Maddie would
  205. 8:54have loved to have done a tribute to
  206. 8:57Broadway baby but I know that aby's just
  207. 8:59trying to teach her a lesson all right
  208. 9:02girls we are 4 weeks away from Nationals
  209. 9:05but it's time that I start looking for
  210. 9:08who's going to be doing a solo when we
  211. 9:10get there I'll be watching you let's
  212. 9:13spread apart let's start warming up moms

  214. 9:17[Music]
  215. 9:20ahead what if you did brush whack
  216. 9:24through that leg behind you use your
  217. 9:27momentum on the verge is a very
  218. 9:30difficult piece it's about women on the
  219. 9:33verge of a breakdown and I think the
  220. 9:35kids are going to do a great job with
  221. 9:37this piece take your bodyy lower your
  222. 9:38left shoulder come on thank figure out
  223. 9:41what you're doing why why why can't you
  224. 9:43stay there you know what's kind of funny
  225. 9:45is I've never seen Abby put anybody like
  226. 9:48third spot on the pyramid like she did
  227. 9:50Maddie for being too perfect did anybody
  228. 9:53else catch that I mean it's weird cuz
  229. 9:56Maddie should have been at the top but
  230. 9:58every week it's something
  231. 10:01excuse me Melissa did you really just
  232. 10:04say Maddie should have been at the top
  233. 10:05of the pyramid you know I know you're
  234. 10:07freaking out because Maddie didn't get
  235. 10:09the Broadway baby Solo or any solo for
  236. 10:11that matter maybe all that poop scooping
  237. 10:13really didn't pay off did it because
  238. 10:15Nia's the one doing the solo really
  239. 10:17happy for Nia that she has a solo that's
  240. 10:19an enormous
  241. 10:20responsibility to do a tribute for
  242. 10:22Broadway baby it better be good and
  243. 10:25perfect because she will hold her to it
  244. 10:27really these moms are too much Holly's
  245. 10:30been begging for a solo for months now
  246. 10:32Nia has a solo and now it's too much
  247. 10:34responsibility Asia can dance with any
  248. 10:37subject matter with no complaints
  249. 10:38because she's a professional Slow Down
  250. 10:40slow down she's seven you're 15 you're
  251. 10:44in charge if you can't do this to her
  252. 10:47come here if you can't do
  253. 10:50this and slow her down you're not a
  254. 10:53leader Brooke wasn't a leader I needed
  255. 10:55her to step up and take charge of this
  256. 10:56team and she didn't sorry I have to here
  257. 11:00I just don't think once you've left
  258. 11:01three times there's got to be a time
  259. 11:04where you leave and you are not welcome
  260. 11:05back being on the elite competition team
  261. 11:08is a great opportunity for any dancer
  262. 11:11and Kelly is not going to take that away
  263. 11:13from my daughter not one of you women
  264. 11:15feel just a tad bit upset that she
  265. 11:17constantly picks up and leaves this team
  266. 11:19well Leslie you're also just desperate
  267. 11:21to be on the team so say what you mean
  268. 11:22you don't like
  269. 11:25me Leslie better be careful you know
  270. 11:28she's really not a member of this team

  466. 19:59okay you're
  467. 20:00finished you know Christy you and I are
  468. 20:03kind of like in the same boat does it
  469. 20:05bother you that Asia just doesn't get
  470. 20:07that time with the solo Leslie is
  471. 20:09unbelievable other than Maddie if
  472. 20:11there's one other child that's gotten
  473. 20:13preferential treatment it's Asia Abby
  474. 20:15said before Asia can take the World by
  475. 20:17storm she has to learn to perform in a
  476. 20:20group dance what are you here for for
  477. 20:22Asia to dance with the team or to learn
  478. 20:24from Abby I'm just curious let me just
  479. 20:26make a statement Asia 7 she did amazing
  480. 20:28in last week's group and so when Abby
  481. 20:30says a comment like that she contradicts
  482. 20:31herself from weight to weight so I'm
  483. 20:33used to it and those comments don't
  484. 20:34bother me because as has already proved
  485. 20:35herself I hope that answers your
  486. 20:37questions Jill because if you want to
  487. 20:38keep talking about my motivations of
  488. 20:39being on this team I have answers for
  489. 20:41you
  490. 20:43outside I know we don't want to see that

  495. 20:53contemporary lyrical routine but it has
  496. 20:56a little bit of sass a little bit of
  497. 20:57Mystery she's going to put the judges
  498. 21:00under her spell long neck shoulders
  499. 21:03down longer neck what is your face

  505. 21:22facial expressions is it scary is it

  538. 22:41you've gone two weeks and look what
  539. 22:43she's done that's ter that's amazing
  540. 22:45actually than you thank you that's very
  541. 22:47so you will come back I'm not fighting
  542. 22:49with Abby and I'm not asking her to come
  543. 22:52back haage and Brooke are already on the
  544. 22:54pyramid their shots are there their
  545. 22:56photos are up Abby whether she wants to
  546. 22:59admit it or not she wants those girls on
  547. 23:01the team so what do I do if I come to
  548. 23:03the competition and she like makes a big
  549. 23:05stink about it oh she
  550. 23:07will what if we gave her one free punch
  551. 23:09at Melissa that would L you back it
  552. 23:11would be at Abby the things that Abby
  553. 23:13and Melissa do are hurting all of our
  554. 23:15kids I just want things to be better for
  555. 23:18all of the girls I I'm not going to like
  556. 23:20invite her over my home when a week ago
  557. 23:23or two weeks ago you stabbed my kid in
  558. 23:25the back and looked right at me and was
  559. 23:27like I don't know what you want me to do
  560. 23:29I want to open your mouth as an educator
  561. 23:32it's hard for me to watch a parent do
  562. 23:34that in front of a whole room full of
  563. 23:37kids like what Abby did was wrong it was
  564. 23:39okay for her to do no no it wasn't okay
  565. 23:42for her to do that either Kelly's being
  566. 23:44really immature right now she made a
  567. 23:46spectacle she's being incredibly
  568. 23:47stubborn but right now she needs to suck
  569. 23:49it up and come back to the team okay you
  570. 23:52said that you know you would have
  571. 23:53probably thrown me out because you know
  572. 23:55you were a principal and all that and
  573. 23:57you say I'm wrong for sticking speaking
  574. 23:58up for them for that and I feel like
  575. 24:00that's you being against me I just feel
  576. 24:02like Holly sometimes needs to get out of
  577. 24:05her mindset that she's a teacher because
  578. 24:07you're mom before you're a teacher my
  579. 24:09kid isn't the only kid that gets picked
  580. 24:11on I'm trying to just be a group and and
  581. 24:14stick up for everybody and I just don't
  582. 24:15feel like anybody ever backs me
  583. 24:16everybody always thinks I'm crazy we do
  584. 24:19back you I back you no you don't you not
  585. 24:22verbal I just can't step in and say yeah
  586. 24:25Abby yeah it doesn't seem like Kelly
  587. 24:27cares about
  588. 24:29dance or being a part of this team or
  589. 24:32anything if Kelly doesn't come back that
  590. 24:34just means more solos for Kendall I
  591. 24:36think both of you have seen how well it
  592. 24:38works for Melissa to do whatever Abby
  593. 24:40wants to keep their kids in her good
  594. 24:42graces and I think that you both are
  595. 24:44headed down that path are you insane
  596. 24:46absolutely not when we all agreed not to
  597. 24:48send our kids to aby's West Coast
  598. 24:49competition I said to all of you on the
  599. 24:51phone I was asked here and now I said no
  600. 24:56so I need all of you to guarantee if
  601. 24:58you're asked you're going to say no Abby
  602. 25:00did ask Kendall to go she didn't ask her
  603. 25:02to perform so I said no I'm not going to
  604. 25:05go but if she would have been asked to
  605. 25:07perform I can't say that probably not
  606. 25:10it's time for me to kick this out
  607. 25:12you need to see yourself to the door did
  608. 25:14you just say that in the past the moms
  609. 25:17have always stuck together but I don't
  610. 25:19think I can say that any longer why do
  611. 25:21you want to be divided all the time I'm
  612. 25:23not divided all the time I didn't lay
  613. 25:25down the gauntlet what's the gauntlet

  876. 39:23time for me to go home so what do we
  877. 39:25think of the number ladies I'd love did
  878. 39:27I thought it was really good I it thank
  879. 39:30you this is Payton's second week now
  880. 39:32with the team not on the team with the
  881. 39:36team just
  882. 39:38saying it's very difficult coming into
  883. 39:41you ladies you ladies have this pack and
  884. 39:43it's known you run quite a few people
  885. 39:45off including myself a few
  886. 39:47times when you're here I'm not here
  887. 39:50because that's the reason you're here is
  888. 39:51you're replacing Brooke why why be here
  889. 39:54then if you you know this is happening
  890. 39:56with Abby I'm part of this team and my
  891. 39:58kids are part of this team and we're
  892. 40:01going to be part of this team whether
  893. 40:02Abby likes it or not the truth is we're
  894. 40:05really not a team without Kelly and her
  895. 40:07girls and frankly I'm afraid to go to
  896. 40:08Nationals without them I want them back
  897. 40:11you wouldn't like me on this team anyway
  898. 40:12though because I would do everything for
  899. 40:14my kid I want to hurt your kids but if
  900. 40:17my child gets an opportunity I'm taking
  901. 40:19it why not just raising dancers we're
  902. 40:21raising people no matter how much I want
  903. 40:24Nia to succeed in life if she's not a
  904. 40:26good person then I have failed and that
  905. 40:28might be the reason why Leslie doesn't
  906. 40:30quite fit in here even Melissa and jel
  907. 40:32the biggest Dance Moms around want more
  908. 40:34for their daughters than stardom or fame
  909. 40:37I'd rather be who I am and be not a
  910. 40:39success on Broadway because I can look
  911. 40:41myself in a mirror for dance on a stage
  912. 40:44when opportunity comes knock and you
  913. 40:46better take advantage of it hey what
  914. 40:47kind of kid are you raising I want my
  915. 40:49daughter to have this shame on you okay

  917. 40:52tired of this chitchat and if my
  918. 40:55daughter doesn't get a solo then I'll
