1. 0:00Previously on Dance Moms. On top of the
2. 0:02pyramid IS BROOKE. HOW DARE YOU OR HOW
3. 0:05DARE ME? When can Kendall have a solo?
4. 0:07When can Kendall be more a part of what
5. 0:10everybody else gets a part of? You need
6. 0:11to tell your mother to knock it off.
7. 0:13She's going to get in trouble. In second
8. 0:15place, Abby Lee [music] Dance Company.
9. 0:18Second is the first one to lose. You did
10. 0:22not just tell me to shut up.
11. 0:23>> Yes. I cannot stand this bickering. If I
12. 0:25have to lose somebody on this team, I
13. 0:28will do that. Coming up on Dance Moms.
14. 0:30[music] Each and every dancer will be
15. 0:32doing a solo. Mom gets to help out with
16. 0:34the costumes. I have costumes she's
17. 0:36never seen on stage or on my daughter or
18. 0:38anybody [music] else.
19. 0:39>> Dance Explosion has been canceled. Oh my
20. 0:41god. See if there's another competition
21. 0:43that we can go to.
22. 0:44>> There's a competition in Clovis, Texas.
23. 0:48WHATEVER. WHATEVER. I'LL PACK MY BAGS
24. 0:50AND GO HOME RIGHT NOW. I'M SICK OF THIS.
25. 1:02>> [music]
26. 1:12>> LADIES, let's go. COME ON.
27. 1:16WHAT'S WITH YOUR SHOES? I didn't think
28. 1:18you'd mind. I'm on my toes. The floor is
29. 1:20$68,000.
30. 1:23All right. First I want to talk about
31. 1:25last week.
32. 1:27>> [music]
33. 1:30>> I must say I'm a little disappointed. We
34. 1:32were just out-danced. It's that energy
35. 1:34level. You can't have a bunch of slugs
36. 1:37out on stage. This weekend, we will be
37. 1:39attending Dance Explosion
38. 1:43in Secaucus, New Jersey. You're going to
39. 1:45get some heavy hitters there. I'm
40. 1:46telling you right now.
41. 1:48I'm going to start with the pyramid.
42. 1:50And first,
43. 1:52I have Kendall.
44. 1:54Kendall,
45. 1:55I thought you did a nice job. You're
46. 1:57here because your mother is way too
47. 2:00needy. Abby, that's ridiculous.
48. 2:03>> Why isn't she doing a solo? Why isn't
49. 2:05she doing a duet? Why doesn't she have a
50. 2:06special part?
51. 2:06>> And that's needy? That's inquisitive.
52. 2:08Why doesn't she have a solo? Kendall's
53. 2:10in the very bottom spot on the pyramid
54. 2:12and mommy didn't like that very much.
55. 2:14>> You're punishing her for something I
56. 2:16did.
57. 2:16>> Bingo. There you go.
58. 2:19Moving on.
59. 2:21Nia, once again, I need to see energy, I
60. 2:24need to see excitement. The next we have
61. 2:27Brooke.
62. 2:28You're back. But, is Brooke really back?
63. 2:31I'm really happy to be back at the Abby
64. 2:33Lee Dance Company. I just feel a lot of
65. 2:35pressure on me.
66. 2:36>> Moving on.
67. 2:38Paige, great job in the tuck.
68. 2:41I just need to see you do that
69. 2:43throughout all of your dancing. I'm
70. 2:45really upset that I'm not higher on the
71. 2:47pyramid because I had my own part in the
72. 2:49dance and I did really good in it.
73. 2:51>> Moving on up the ladder,
74. 2:53Maddie.
75. 2:54You danced well. I expect more from you.
76. 2:57Chloe, same thing. Great performance on
77. 2:59stage. You just need to learn to pick up
78. 3:01quicker.
79. 3:03And at the top of the pyramid,
80. 3:06Mackenzie.
81. 3:11I've never been on the [music] top of
82. 3:12the pyramid, so that's why I'm really
83. 3:14surprised. She won in Nutley, New
84. 3:16Jersey. She won in Long Island, New
85. 3:19York. Do you have another win in you for
86. 3:21Secaucus, New Jersey? I don't know.
87. 3:25We are not going to do a group routine
88. 3:28this week.
89. 3:30Each and every dancer will be doing a
90. 3:31solo.
91. 3:33It's every man for himself. This is your
92. 3:36chance to shine. Every girl is doing a
93. 3:38solo this week, but I still need to do
94. 3:40the pyramid. They need to see how they
95. 3:42rank in my eyes. And for one time only,
96. 3:47you all get to help out with the
97. 3:49costumes. Since we are doing seven
98. 3:51completely different solos this weekend,
99. 3:54I don't have time to worry about
100. 3:55costumes.
101. 3:56>> This is your chance to go for that Tony,
102. 3:58Christi.
103. 3:59You're going to come to me, show me what
104. 4:01you have, and I can veto it or I can
105. 4:04accept it. So, Abby's final little
106. 4:06surprise, the pyramid, is that the moms
107. 4:08are responsible for the costumes this
108. 4:10week. [music] And there are to be no
109. 4:12recycled costumes and no costumes that
110. 4:14she has seen before. I don't want to see
111. 4:16anything from any other studios. I want
112. 4:18to see you come up with something
113. 4:20original. Moms, I'm going to dismiss you
114. 4:22at this time. Girls, spread apart, start
115. 4:25warming up.
116. 4:30I'd like to know how she's going to get
117. 4:32seven solos [music] done in a day. In a
118. 4:34day. With solos, it's only you. There's
119. 4:37no one to hide behind. There's no one to
120. 4:39blame something on. You either go out
121. 4:41there and you kick ass or you fall flat
122. 4:43on your face.
123. 4:48Stop.
124. 4:50My solo is an acro jazz routine and it's
125. 4:53called "She the Cutie Water". Now, can
126. 4:56you like Oh, yawn.
127. 5:00Oh, yes.
128. 5:02I don't have time to make a costume. I
129. 5:04mean, it's great that
130. 5:06If you guys don't have old costumes and
131. 5:08your kids have been dancing We're not
132. 5:09allowed to use them again. You're not
133. 5:10allowed to use any of your costumes.
134. 5:11>> I still I have I have tons of costumes.
135. 5:13>> but you're not allowed to use any of
136. 5:14them, she said.
137. 5:15>> She said none from
138. 5:16>> None. Trust me. I have costumes she's
139. 5:18never seen on stage or on my daughter or
140. 5:20anybody else. She's not going to know.
141. 5:23She'll know. Sneaky Jill is telling us
142. 5:25that oh, I just might use one of
143. 5:27Kendall's old costumes because Abby
144. 5:28hasn't seen it yet. Well, that's not
145. 5:30playing by the rules. Do you see how
146. 5:32this works in our company? You just
147. 5:34speak up about a special part, you got
148. 5:35booted down the end of the pyramid. Now
149. 5:37you're going to go against the costume
150. 5:38thing? I still
151. 5:39>> came in with your boots on. You know
152. 5:41what? Exactly. I want to know why you
153. 5:43got to wear your boots and I had to take
154. 5:44mine off.
155. 5:45>> Well, you know what? I can follow the
156. 5:46rules and I actually understand what's
157. 5:49going on here and I won't let that
158. 5:51happen again where my actions [music]
159. 5:53are going to affect my child.
160. 5:54>> all that happens here. You better go to
161. 5:56a new studio.
162. 5:57>> [laughter]
163. 5:57>> You better keep yourself like in a
164. 5:59bubble because anything you do wrong
165. 6:01She's one of those people who every time
166. 6:03something happens, she writes it into a
167. 6:04contract.
168. 6:05>> Why do you think WE'RE STILL HERE? WE IN
169. 6:07OUR CONTRACT, IT SAYS CUZ OUR KIDS want
170. 6:08a title, if we left that it would cost
171. 6:10us $100,000 in cash within 7 days or she
172. 6:13would blackball us in the world of
173. 6:15dance.
174. 6:16>> She's crazy. Yeah. Well, flat-out crazy.
175. 6:18When you sign up at the Abby Lee Dance
176. 6:20Company, she makes you sign a contract.
177. 6:22And the contract basically says that
178. 6:25[music]
179. 6:25she owns you for a year.
180. 6:27>> Yeah, but I don't know how much clout
181. 6:28she has. She's got a lot of connections.
182. 6:30I know kids have left here. [music]
183. 6:32>> Yes, and she's blackballed them all.
184. 6:33She's ruined them.
185. 6:34>> Okay, and you guys couldn't have told me
186. 6:35this before I came in here?
187. 6:37>> You wanted to come.
188. 6:43Hello, my sweet little apples.
189. 6:46So, here we are again.
190. 6:49Let's go to the PPP, the Perfect
191. 6:51Positive Pyramid, and let's just take a
192. 6:53little look-see at what we've got going
193. 6:55on.
194. 6:56All of us this week [music] are all
195. 6:59equal.
196. 7:01Then we've got that top card
197. 7:04with a big question mark.
198. 7:07Now, let's get serious about this
199. 7:08question mark.
200. 7:10Abby Lee Dance [music] Center had an
201. 7:13open call for some new talent. If she
202. 7:16can look for new talent, why can't we?
203. 7:20So, here's what we're going to do. We're
204. 7:22going to have an open call, a large
205. 7:24crowd, lots of volume, and it's going to
206. 7:25be fun.
207. 7:34>> [music]
208. 7:39>> My solo this week is a Spanish influence
209. 7:42and [snorts] the song is instrumental.
210. 7:44Well, it has some like [music]
211. 7:46little Spanish singers in the back.
212. 7:56>> [music]
213. 7:57>> You have 3 days to get this number
214. 8:01clean. And if one thing a Spanish dance
215. 8:04is, is clean [music]
216. 8:06and precise. Yes?
217. 8:09Yes.
218. 8:10I'm seeing a big hot mess, is what I'm
219. 8:12saying.
220. 8:14I'm really excited that I can have my
221. 8:16own solo this week.
222. 8:19>> [music]
223. 8:19[singing]
224. 8:26[music]
225. 8:32[music]
226. 8:33>> I know you guys don't give clout to the
227. 8:35pyramid. I just feel ashamed and
228. 8:38humiliated for my daughter. Kendall
229. 8:40deserves to be at the top of that
230. 8:42pyramid. She did a great job in the
231. 8:44group number this week. She did a
232. 8:45[music] lot better than some of the
233. 8:47other girls who are ahead of her in the
234. 8:48pyramid. She deserves to be at the top.
235. 8:51>> Did you see how everybody was so happy
236. 8:52for Mackenzie? [music] And when Kendall
237. 8:54does make it, all the kids are going to
238. 8:55be happy for her, too. But, Nia has to
239. 8:57be at the top, too, and so does Paige.
240. 9:02And the best should be at the top. It
241. 9:04shouldn't be
242. 9:06That's when your claws come out.
243. 9:08>> Jill
244. 9:14has a tendency to say snide remarks
245. 9:16about certain students. [music] Um
246. 9:18usually it's Nia, sometimes it's Paige,
247. 9:21and I don't care what Jill says. [music]
248. 9:23It is very evident to me that she sees
249. 9:25Nia as the weak link.
250. 9:26>> You weren't even here all last week and
251. 9:28you show up and you say
252. 9:30I didn't have a job outside of sitting
253. 9:32up here. We know you work hard. Good.
254. 9:35Thank you. Okay, I've said that a
255. 9:37million times. I don't know why you need
256. 9:39to We know you said it a million times.
257. 9:41You said it a lot of million times. Do
258. 9:42you ever shut up? And then all we have
259. 9:44to hear about IS I HAVE ANOTHER CHILD. I
260. 9:46CAN'T DO THE COSTUMES. I HAVE A
261. 9:472-YEAR-OLD. YOU KNOW WHAT? WE
262. 9:49KNOW THAT. WE HEAR IT ALL THE TIME. SHUT
263. 9:51UP, JILL.
264. 9:55I don't know what's going to happen once
265. 9:57I put out my offer to these girls. Come
266. 9:59on in. Come on in if you're a dancer.
267. 10:02You guys are here to audition FOR TEAM
268. 10:05APPLE.
269. 10:07>> [cheering]
270. 10:08>> I DON'T FEEL THAT OUR TEAM is lacking.
271. 10:10We are definitely going to make
272. 10:12ourselves even stronger yet.
273. 10:22She walks in the door and I immediately
274. 10:24recognize her. She is one of Abby's
275. 10:27dancers.
276. 10:35She walks in the door and I immediately
277. 10:37recognize her. She is one of Abby's
278. 10:39dancers.
279. 10:41Will they compete or be able to compete
280. 10:43here? We don't know what's going to
281. 10:44happen. You don't even know if she's
282. 10:45going to ask [music] you to stay.
283. 10:46>> After all of Abby's abuse, kicking
284. 10:48Payton off the team, and disrespecting
285. 10:50me, I want to show Abby that we can find
286. 10:52another studio to compete at. And the
287. 10:54fact that there's space available at
288. 10:56Cathy's Candy Apples, icing on [music]
289. 10:58the cake.
290. 10:58>> I'm excited. You excited? Yeah. I want
291. 11:01to make my mom happy,
292. 11:03but I'm not sure how I feel about
293. 11:04dancing for the Candy Apples. I know
294. 11:06it's up to you, but I really want you to
295. 11:08compete cuz you know in your heart you
296. 11:09really want to compete. I know. Okay?
297. 11:11Okay. All right. Strike your best pose
298. 11:14right now. Hit it. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 and
299. 11:201. She had a great [music] face and a
300. 11:22great body and she was just selling
301. 11:25herself. I'm definitely [music] going to
302. 11:26offer Payton a spot on the team. What a
303. 11:29coup if [music] we can get her and she's
304. 11:32from Abby Lee. Kind of a win-win
305. 11:34situation for me. I get to give Abby the
306. 11:36old little stab in the back-a-rooski
307. 11:37[music]
308. 11:38and I pick up another dancer who's got
309. 11:40some fine qualities.
310. 11:42Hey Payton. Hi. Awesome job today.
311. 11:45>> Thank you. I want to know if you would
312. 11:47be interested in being on team Apples.
313. 11:51Um
314. 11:54I would definitely have to think about
315. 11:56it.
316. 11:57Are you a spy? No. No. So what you
317. 11:59holding back then? I just miss my
318. 12:01friends. Uh it's a long drive from where
319. 12:04I live. It's mind-boggling to me that
320. 12:08here's this kid [music] that's got an
321. 12:10opportunity to come over to a dance
322. 12:12studio that's nothing but positive
323. 12:14>> [music]
324. 12:15>> and I walk up and I'm like, you know,
325. 12:17what the heck? What are you guys doing?
326. 12:19>> Hey! Come on.
327. 12:21What are you doing? She's just not 100%
328. 12:24ready to just come here and compete.
329. 12:26Ugh, Payton. Payton, you shouldn't have
330. 12:27wasted my time.
331. 12:28>> That's not true. Payton, as a dance
332. 12:29educator
333. 12:30>> you should not be saying that. You
334. 12:31should say it was my privilege to teach
335. 12:33your daughter something. That should not
336. 12:35be your answer. If you are a positive
337. 12:37educator, you should not have taken that
338. 12:39route.
339. 12:40>> Honestly, honestly, you are way too much
340. 12:42like the Pittsburgh dance moms for me.
341. 12:43So, I loved you
342. 12:46and thank you.
343. 12:46>> Cathy. I loved you and thank you. Thank
344. 12:48you, Cathy. So Candy Apples isn't the
345. 12:50place for us, but my daughter is a star.
346. 12:53I'm sure of it. And I won't quit until I
347. 12:55find a place for her to dance. You know,
348. 12:58if I have to go crawling back to Abby
349. 13:00for Payton to dance, then so be it. All
350. 13:02right. Let's grab our stuff and go.
351. 13:10>> [music]
352. 13:13>> All right. Do you see yourself getting
353. 13:15sloppy at the end?
354. 13:17>> No, Holly.
355. 13:18>> cute in that.
356. 13:19>> Put that away.
357. 13:20Christi and I always are doing stuff
358. 13:22with our costumes, but I'm rather
359. 13:25nervous for this one, Holly. Yeah, don't
360. 13:27tell her cuz she's going to say lie.
361. 13:28>> to veto that. Me too. Veto. Honestly, I
362. 13:31resent the fact that I have to make
363. 13:33Nia's costume. I do not sew. I am not a
364. 13:37designer. I did not sign up to make my
365. 13:40daughter's costume [music] for dance.
366. 13:47And put your arms up, up, up, down,
367. 13:50down, down.
368. 13:51I think Chloe's solo this week is going
369. 13:53to be a little bit more challenging than
370. 13:55the other girls simply based on the fact
371. 13:57that she is doing ballet and there is a
372. 13:59right and there's a wrong. There's no
373. 14:01gray area.
374. 14:06>> [music]
375. 14:11[music]
376. 14:13>> My solo this week is called Make Some
377. 14:15Noise and it's like a jazzy acrobatic
378. 14:19routine and I really like it.
379. 14:22>> a chicken.
380. 14:23>> [laughter]
381. 14:24>> Maybe there's a chicken, a spider. So
382. 14:26far we're batting a thousand. Hi. Hello,
383. 14:30ladies. All right. Let me see what you
384. 14:32have. Okay. That looks like somebody
385. 14:34else's costume.
386. 14:36Good. Yeah, but that doesn't look like
387. 14:37an Abby Lee Dance Company costume. All
388. 14:39right. Moving on.
389. 14:40>> Chill. I got like sunburst kind of
390. 14:42cheery, little bit bright.
391. 14:44>> Sweet little lies.
392. 14:46>> Sweet. Black That's sweet like an
393. 14:49orange.
394. 14:50>> No. Black, red, or pink? Even white.
395. 14:53Okay. Okay. I'm going to make this a
396. 14:55sarong, put a rose here and a rose in
397. 14:58her hair. You're going to make it into a
398. 14:59sarong? Uh-huh. I Kelly told me how to
399. 15:01do it.
400. 15:03Okay. My tutu is being dyed powder blue.
401. 15:05It's home. Procrastination station. It
402. 15:08was wet. Did you want me to bring it in
403. 15:10here and ruin your floor?
404. 15:11>> Well, why don't you just take a picture
405. 15:12of it and SEND IT TO WELL, I CAN. I'll
406. 15:13do it when I get home. And here's the
407. 15:15bra that I'm dying the same color.
408. 15:17>> You're putting your child in a bra?
409. 15:18Yeah, and it won't look like a bra when
410. 15:20I'm done with it, I promise. Christi
411. 15:22doesn't really have anything to show me.
412. 15:24She has to get her act together and get
413. 15:26it real quick.
414. 15:28Two options for Paige. [music] I can do
415. 15:30this. That's loud. Well, you told me
416. 15:32loud. Right? I know. That's right. And
417. 15:35booty shorts and probably have like a
418. 15:37something down here.
419. 15:38>> to wear shorts, that short. The legs
420. 15:40better be straight and the feet better
421. 15:41be pointed. Brooke, go to Brooke.
422. 15:45That'll work. All right. Listen. Step it
423. 15:48up. You do not want to get
424. 15:50an hour from New York City
425. 15:52where they can get any piece of fabric,
426. 15:54any color rhinestone, any applique, any
427. 15:57headpiece, you know, like that. This is
428. 16:00going to be really rough. I have seven
429. 16:02completely different solos to create
430. 16:04plus overseeing the mothers of this
431. 16:06costume idea. Oh my gosh. Wait.
432. 16:09>> Look at this, Paige. Look at how you
433. 16:11guys are growling. Isn't that sad? I
434. 16:13liked when you was little.
435. 16:19Hello. Reign Dance Productions, home of
436. 16:21the Abby Lee Dance Company.

443. 16:36news. I'm sorry to let you know that
444. 16:38Dance Explosions has been canceled.

450. 16:54bad news. I'm sorry to let you know that
451. 16:56Dance Explosions has been canceled.
452. 16:59Oh my god.
453. 17:04We're leaving in less than 24 hours.
454. 17:06What do you mean the competition is
455. 17:07canceled?
456. 17:09That's just unheard of.
457. 17:11Here you want to see us? Yes, I do. We
458. 17:14have a bit of an issue.
459. 17:15This guy calls and says, [music] "Well,
460. 17:17I'm calling to let you from Dance
461. 17:19Explosions to let you know that the
462. 17:20competition this weekend has been
463. 17:22canceled because there's not enough
464. 17:23people coming." Hearing that the
465. 17:24competition was canceled is awful. I
466. 17:27mean, my daughters [music]
467. 17:28really want to dance. Mackenzie's
468. 17:30finally at the top of the pyramid and
469. 17:32I'm really upset about it. So what are
470. 17:34our options? We have six solos. The kids
471. 17:37have worked hard and they're going to do
472. 17:39the routine somewhere. Why don't we call
473. 17:41around and see if there's another
474. 17:42competition that we could go to?
475. 17:47We have seven girls with dances and no
476. 17:50place to go [music]
477. 17:51and Abby has to find a solution to that
478. 17:53situation really fast. Girls,
479. 17:57by all means,
480. 17:58do not slack off. I don't care if
481. 18:00there's one person against you or a
482. 18:03thousand people against you. You should
483. 18:05go out and do the best performance that
484. 18:06you can. Understood? Yes. Yes?
485. 18:10Okay. Back to class. Moms, back to work.
486. 18:141 2 Tip it. Hey, it's Abby Lee Miller.
487. 18:17We have a bit of a crisis. [music] Break
488. 18:19through.
489. 18:21Yeah, she's she's out. Okay. 5 6 7 8
490. 18:27Your call has been forwarded to a number
491. 18:29No. No. Right now, I have seven
492. 18:30completed solo routines and no
493. 18:32competition to go to. So, I need to find
494. 18:35somewhere for these kids to go. We are
495. 18:37going to find something and we are going
496. 18:39to go. Here we go.
497. 18:41Now we're talking. Dance Explosion may
498. 18:43have let me down, but I'm never going to
499. 18:45let those kids down. Ladies, uh we are
500. 18:48going to a competition this weekend.
501. 18:50There's a competition in Clute, Texas,
502. 18:53just outside of Galveston. I want the
503. 18:55girls to practice tonight. [music] Good.
504. 18:57Good. I'm keeping them here until their
505. 18:58dances are finished and perfect.
506. 19:01The show must go on. Yeehaw! They say
507. 19:04don't mess with [music] Texas, but the
508. 19:06Abby Lee Dance Company is on its way.
509. 19:08Look out, cowboys. Here we come.
510. 19:17Oh, I have a Maddie, too.
511. 19:21That's where we're going to be dancing.
512. 19:23The energy's up. We're excited. We're
513. 19:25walking into the MA Dance competition
514. 19:28and lo and behold, it's on a gymnasium
515. 19:32floor. Woo! This just threw us off our
516. 19:35game. Here we go, guys.
517. 19:38Come on. Let's go. Get your stuff set
518. 19:40up, Brooke. Get your hair up quickly.
519. 19:42Obviously, this is not what I had
520. 19:44intended. It's a gymnasium [music]
521. 19:45floor, so you can handle it. I'm really
522. 19:49nervous to dance on a gymnasium floor
523. 19:51because I've never danced on one before
524. 19:54and it's wood so I'm scared I might
525. 19:56slip. I hope you were guiding your
526. 19:58mothers when they made these costumes
527. 20:00yes I hope you weren't sleeping. That
528. 20:01costume really has to sparkle because
529. 20:04there's no stage lights.
530. 20:06You know there's no lights hitting that
531. 20:08costume to make it sparkle it has to
532. 20:09sparkle all on its own. So I'm going to
533. 20:11see those before they go out there got
534. 20:13it? I hope nobody has to dance naked
535. 20:15ladies.
536. 20:18>> [music]
537. 20:23[music]
538. 20:34[applause]
539. 20:34>> It's like a dream
540. 20:37this moment [singing]
541. 20:38in time.
542. 20:40Now I see
543. 20:43a bigger [music and singing] part of me.
544. 20:49Now [singing and music] the world is
545. 20:51opened up its door. I'm so much more
546. 20:54than [singing] I ever was before.
547. 20:59Who [singing] am I?
548. 21:00>> [music]
549. 21:03>> I see you staring back [singing] at me.
550. 21:07I don't have to question why.
551. 21:10>> [singing]
552. 21:10>> Who am I?
553. 21:15>> [cheering]
554. 21:16[screaming]
555. 21:20[music]
556. 21:26>> On the floor now Abby Lee Dance Company.
557. 21:29This is Miss Mackenzie.
558. 21:43I'm used to dancing on a stage not this
559. 21:46slippery gym floor feels different.
560. 21:52>> [music]
561. 21:59[music]
562. 22:12>> Oh my goodness that's beautiful did you
563. 22:14make that?
564. 22:17Yes that's an old costume you didn't
565. 22:18make that.
566. 22:19I didn't say that. I made [music] it.
567. 22:20But did she wear it at her other studio?
568. 22:23No. You just had that hanging in your
569. 22:25closet? Well maybe it wasn't mine. Maybe
570. 22:26it was someone else's that lent it to
571. 22:28me. Hello.
572. 22:31Jill let me see her costume. Okay this
573. 22:33is the white costume. Okay you did not
574. 22:35whip that up last night. OH I NEVER SAID
575. 22:37I WHIPPED IT UP LAST NIGHT. You didn't
576. 22:39say go home and whip up but I'm not
577. 22:41Becky Home Ecki. I don't whip up
578. 22:43costumes. Where did that costume come
579. 22:45from because it's obviously not pieces
580. 22:48of something you pulled together. I just
581. 22:49wanted to use pieces that you had at
582. 22:51home and come up with something at the
583. 22:53last minute. This is what I came up
584. 22:54with.
585. 22:55Well who's is that may I ask? This is
586. 22:57Kendall's costume. You have not seen her
587. 22:59in this [music] costume. Somebody
588. 23:00somewhere has seen her in it. It's
589. 23:02Kendall's costume it's Kendall's costume
590. 23:03now it's not one of her old costumes.
591. 23:05I'm trying to teach the children a
592. 23:06lesson. They don't need a $500 costume
593. 23:09to win. You have something at home make
594. 23:11it work. It's not about winning it's
595. 23:12about what I want to put my daughter in.
596. 23:14No it's about what I want to put your
597. 23:16daughter in. Go look at what you have
598. 23:18figure it out put it on the kid. That
599. 23:21looks like a little dress. Brooke went
600. 23:23out there in a $30 leotard and danced
601. 23:26beautifully. I can't believe you guys
602. 23:27wouldn't back me up on this. Because

650. 25:02pieces together take some shorts and a
651. 25:04crop top trim them up a little bit and
652. 25:07make a costume. She had to go above and
653. 25:09beyond and try to outdo everyone. Well
654. 25:11you know what it backfired on her.
655. 25:13Please do this for Kendall she's going
656. 25:15to be so brokenhearted. [music]
657. 25:17I'm not putting her in a piece costume.
658. 25:19I'm not doing it and I'm not going to
659. 25:21let them
660. 25:23>> [music]
661. 25:23>> and Abby win over this. I'm not going to
662. 25:25let them. Don't worry about them because
663. 25:27they did this to me okay they don't do
664. 25:28that to me anymore. I'm [music] really
665. 25:30shocked that Jill flipped out at Abby
666. 25:32the way she did and I'm sure she's going
667. 25:34to regret it.
668. 25:35>> [music]
669. 25:35>> I just think that she was at her wit's
670. 25:37end and she doesn't understand the way
671. 25:38our studio runs. Where's Abby girls did
672. 25:41you see her?
673. 25:43Nia what did she do? Well she's not
674. 25:44dancing because I'm not putting her in a
675. 25:46piece
676. 25:48that Abby wants me to put her in. At
677. 25:49this point I'm done. I'm not going to
678. 25:51stick around and let them belittle me
679. 25:54and belittle my daughter over a stinking
680. 25:57costume. I'm packing my stuff up and I'm
681. 26:00leaving. They won't have to deal with me
682. 26:02anymore.
683. 26:03Okay I love you
684. 26:04I love you.
685. 26:05Okay
686. 26:06Maddie go play with her. Kendall okay
687. 26:08come here babe. She can dress. Come on.
688. 26:11Get your jacket and your boots. Let's
689. 26:12go. Maddie help her. Just be okay
690. 26:14Kendall.
691. 26:16She's with her friends. Nia
692. 26:18do you really need to ask why? I think
693. 26:20you know why. We will go to Gianna's
694. 26:22studio and we will support our friends
695. 26:24like our friends support us. Let's go.
696. 26:27We come all this way
697. 26:28and these witches won't get off my back.
698. 26:32Kendall's not dancing.
699. 26:34End of story. Not having it. When you're
700. 26:36older you will understand that you need
701. 26:38to stand up for what you think is right
702. 26:41and what they are doing to us right now
703. 26:43is not [music] right.
704. 26:45I know you want to dance honey. We came
705. 26:46all this way for you to dance. I want
706. 26:49you to dance too and it's not happening.
707. 26:52Let's go.
708. 26:59>> [music]
709. 27:03>> All right how's everybody doing yes?
710. 27:05What's behind you looks like there's
711. 27:06blue sticking out on the sides of you.
712. 27:09A heating pad? Abby pushes these girls
713. 27:12to be as professional as possible.
714. 27:14Sometimes when you're an athlete you
715. 27:16have to perform even if there's pain and
716. 27:18[music] these girls have to learn how to
717. 27:20dance through the pain. She's having a
718. 27:22lot of back and hip pain. The hip pain
719. 27:24maybe because you're working really hard
720. 27:25in ballet class. You're using muscles
721. 27:27that you never used before.
722. 27:29You know you're starting to use the
723. 27:30inner thigh instead of grabbing on top.
724. 27:32So I'm just trying to keep her not
725. 27:33freaking out about it. I told her she
726. 27:35can dance she can dance through the
727. 27:36pain. You know there's a big difference
728. 27:38between being sore and being injured.
729. 27:42Injured you should not dance. Sore you
730. 27:44have to work through the pain.
731. 27:45I knew [music] it was coming. You know
732. 27:47as a mom you just have those moments and
733. 27:49you know something's going to happen
734. 27:52during rehearsal and Nia's running her
735. 27:54dance. When you dive walk over that
736. 27:55right foot has to stay turned out.
737. 27:57She got a couple corrections that got
738. 27:59[music] her flustered.
739. 28:01She couldn't remember part of her dance
740. 28:03and [music] I could just see something's
741. 28:06not right. You'll do well it's okay
742. 28:08you're going to do fine sweetie. You'll
743. 28:10be okay.
744. 28:11Stay focused apply your corrections
745. 28:13you're going to be fine.
746. 28:15We're headed to the gymnasium floor.
747. 28:18We get to the door
748. 28:20and Nia just has a panic attack. She
749. 28:22breaks down.
750. 28:24I'm like oh my goodness
751. 28:26>> [music]
752. 28:26>> this child is not going to perform
753. 28:28today. There's no way I'm going to get
754. 28:29her on that stage. What am I going to
755. 28:32do? Calm down calm down. Nia.
756. 28:37Come here. She should be you're awesome
757. 28:40she is so worked up and all I could
758. 28:43think of was I have to calm her down.
759. 28:46Relax.
760. 28:48I've never seen you this way.
761. 28:49Right now I'm very scared to go on the
762. 28:51gymnasium floor because it's slippery
763. 28:54and I don't want to fall. Calm yourself
764. 28:57down.
765. 28:58It'll be okay.
766. 29:00I'm going to go to the door so I can
767. 29:01hurry up and get in okay? She was so
768. 29:03overwhelmed by the prospect of
769. 29:06performing she had shut down. She's
770. 29:08flipping out.
771. 29:10She has like a panic attack.
772. 29:12Is she okay? Not really. So no clapping
773. 29:15for Nia she's having a panic attack for
774. 29:17whatever reason.
775. 29:20From Abby Lee Dance Company
776. 29:22Nia.
777. 29:23>> [cheering and music]
778. 29:40>> I'm going to [singing and music]
779. 29:41survive.
780. 29:43I'm staying alive.
781. 29:46I'm going to hold my
782. 29:48head up.
783. 29:50>> [music]
784. 29:52[singing]
785. 30:01>> Nia looks good out there. [music] I'm
786. 30:03looking at her and I'm speechless. I
787. 30:05can't believe she's pulling this off.
788. 30:13>> [music]
789. 30:13[singing]
790. 30:17>> It was really hard to go out and dance,
791. 30:19but I'm glad I pushed myself. It was
792. 30:20just amazing. I want to dance. I know
793. 30:23you want to dance. I want you to dance.
794. 30:24Well, am I dancing or not? No.
795. 30:27Because they won't let you wear what I
796. 30:28brought for you to wear.
797. 30:36If Kendall's not dancing, she's not
798. 30:38getting up on the floor with her stuff.
799. 30:41Is that true? Yeah. I was absolutely
800. 30:44appalled that Kendall was sitting in the
801. 30:46audience behind me.
802. 30:47With her mother while other solos were
803. 30:50dancing.
804. 30:51She should have been on deck, warming
805. 30:54up, ready to [music] go.
806. 31:01We're sitting in the stands, [music]
807. 31:03supporting the other children. Abby
808. 31:05turns to me and she says, "Go put
809. 31:07Kendall in the white booty shorts."
810. 31:09>> Of course [music] the white shorts and
811. 31:10top.
812. 31:12And she's allowed to use it? I told her
813. 31:14she couldn't.
814. 31:14>> Absolutely. Go. Go. So, I make a rash
815. 31:17decision to let Kendall wear the white
816. 31:20booty shorts and the underwear
817. 31:23on stage.
818. 31:25Do a front aerial, honey, right here.
819. 31:27Please, you need [music] to stay
820. 31:28stretched.
821. 31:31From Abby Lee Dance, welcome Miss
822. 31:33Kendall.
823. 31:34>> [applause]

827. 31:52[music]
828. 31:54[singing]
829. 32:01[music]
830. 32:03>> I'm happy that I'm finally dancing and I
831. 32:05don't care what the costume [music]
832. 32:06looks like.
833. 32:18>> [cheering]
834. 32:19>> Kendall did a great job in simple white
835. 32:21booty shorts and a crop top. Jill is a
836. 32:23drama queen. I don't think I can take it
837. 32:25anymore.
838. 32:27>> [music]
839. 32:31>> Please welcome to THE FLOOR, CHLOE.
840. 32:35>> [cheering and applause]
841. 32:48>> CHLOE LOOKS beautiful and her costume
842. 32:50looks professionally made, if I do say
843. 32:52so myself.
844. 33:13>> [cheering]
845. 33:15>> Great job.
846. 33:18>> [music]
847. 33:21>> From Abby Lee, this is Maddie.
848. 33:24>> [cheering]
849. 33:25>> Here we go.
850. 33:36>> [music]
851. 33:49[music]
852. 33:55[music]
853. 34:00[music]
854. 34:07[singing]
855. 34:08[music]
856. 34:16[music]
857. 34:20>> I got to go.
858. 34:23From Abby Lee, this is Maddie.
859. 34:40When I saw this gentleman carrying my
860. 34:42daughter off, my heart sunk to my
861. 34:44stomach.
862. 34:44>> to go. I got to go. Excuse me.
863. 34:46>> [music]
864. 34:46>> And I jumped off the bleachers and I ran
865. 34:48to her right away. I thought she broke a
866. 34:50bone.
867. 34:52No, don't say that. Come here.
868. 34:55It's okay, honey. It was beautiful. Look
869. 34:57at Maddie. I thought if you're supposed
870. 34:58to do that. No. I couldn't really move
871. 35:01my leg. It hurt so bad. I was nervous
872. 35:03[music] that if I couldn't dance ever
873. 35:04again. Abby's mad. Maddie was so worried
874. 35:07[music]
875. 35:08that Abby's going to be mad at her
876. 35:09because she did so poorly in her dance,
877. 35:11which she didn't. She said, "I danced
878. 35:13terrible."
879. 35:15I fell on my hip.
880. 35:17You fell on your hip?
881. 35:18Yes.
882. 35:21Where did you fall? Right here. Right
883. 35:23here?
884. 35:24Oh, baby. I was going to do a dive
885. 35:25before walking away and then I went for
886. 35:27it and then it didn't work.
887. 35:29Okay. It's okay, honey. Hey.
888. 35:32It's okay. She said, "Miss Abby's going
889. 35:35to be mad at me."
890. 35:35>> I'm not going to be mad at you, sweetie.
891. 35:37What you started to dive.
892. 35:39She was going to dive. It was too
893. 35:41slippery, like I know and you started to
894. 35:43dive and then in the middle you said you
895. 35:44can't get yourself together and walk
896. 35:46away, but you did a front toss. Abby
897. 35:47came in and she felt so bad for Maddie.
898. 35:50Any blood? No, not even a bruise. Okay,
899. 35:53good.
900. 35:53>> up and walk around in just a minute when
901. 35:55you feel it. Good. See, if you had a big
902. 35:57butt and you landed on it, it wouldn't
903. 35:59hurt. Like me.
904. 36:02Dancers fall and dancers get hurt.
905. 36:05This may have been Maddie's first fall,
906. 36:07but it certainly won't be her last.
907. 36:10Sometimes your ego
908. 36:13hurts [music] more than your injury.
909. 36:15Aw, look at how sweet. Miss Abby's can.
910. 36:18Let me get the door. Don't forget her
911. 36:19feet.
912. 36:24If any other girl fell, they would not
913. 36:27be getting the same reaction from Abby.
914. 36:29Paige, can you get your hair done,
915. 36:30please? My kid, it would have been like,
916. 36:32"Oh my god, you embarrassed me. I
917. 36:33haven't had a kid do this in 50 years."
918. 36:36We should have Brooke from Kingwood
919. 36:39Strutters, but at this time, please
920. 36:42welcome to the floor, Paige from Abby
921. 36:45Lee Dance Company.
922. 36:52Are you ready?
923. 36:56>> [music]
924. 36:57[singing]
925. 37:07[music and singing]
926. 37:08>> I'm watching Paige do her solo and I'm
927. 37:12just amazed.
928. 37:14Paige rocked that dance.
929. 37:25>> [music]
930. 37:27>> Good job.
931. 37:29>> [cheering]
932. 37:31>> Great job given by Paige from Abby Lee.
933. 37:37>> [music]
934. 37:42>> All right. Come here, Mackenzie. I can
935. 37:45Excuse you.
936. 37:46I don't care.
937. 37:48>> [screaming]
938. 37:48>> Good job, baby. You're a great
939. 37:52It's the same
940. 37:53thing. That was the best I saw you
941. 37:54dance.
942. 37:57Hello.
943. 37:59Hello.
944. 38:01>> [screaming]
945. 38:03>> Yay! Good job. Paige, how do you think
946. 38:06[music] you did?
947. 38:07Good. Good. I thought you were great. I
948. 38:09thought your energy was up. I thought
949. 38:10you were entertaining. I thought it was
950. 38:12good. I thought everybody danced pretty
951. 38:13well.
952. 38:19And now, our junior solo awards.
953. 38:23In third place,
954. 38:26from Abby Lee Dance Company, Brooke.
955. 38:30>> [cheering]
956. 38:34>> In second place, also from Abby Lee
957. 38:36Dance Company, Chloe.
958. 38:40>> [applause and music]
959. 38:41>> Chloe was first runner up and right then
960. 38:44I knew that Paige won. And our junior
961. 38:47champion from the Abby Lee Dance
962. 38:49Company, Paige.
963. 38:53>> [cheering]
964. 38:55[applause]
965. 38:57>> I'm really happy that I won because
966. 39:01normally Miss Abby doesn't give me a
967. 39:02chance to do a solo because she doesn't
968. 39:06think I'll win, but this time I proved
969. 39:08her wrong.
970. 39:16Mommy [music] is so proud of you. I told
971. 39:18you you couldn't have danced any better.
972. 39:19So, I'm hoping next week at pyramid
973. 39:22there'll be a little change. Paige got a
974. 39:24banner. I don't have much practice at
975. 39:27this.
976. 39:28Just as she Paige, you might be at the
977. 39:30TOP OF THE PYRAMID.
978. 39:32HEY! [screaming]
979. 39:34CONGRATULATIONS.
980. 39:38I think you all the girls a hard time.
981. 39:41I yell at Brooke and Paige like they're
982. 39:43my own kids,
983. 39:44>> [laughter]
984. 39:44>> but I'm really glad that Paige had a
985. 39:46shining moment and came out on top.
986. 39:49Girls, you pulled through. Now,
987. 39:52everybody here at ALDC knows who Abby
988. 39:55Lee Dance Company is. They didn't even
989. 39:56know who I was before. Now, because of
990. 39:59your talents and your mother's
991. 40:01costuming, they all know who I am and
992. 40:04they respect me and they were telling me
993. 40:06how wonderful you were all behaved, how
994. 40:08nice you were and what good kids and
995. 40:10what nice moms you had.
996. 40:14That every single dancer
997. 40:18got a perfect score on their costumes.
998. 40:25Yep.
999. 40:26Every single one of you.
1000. 40:32>> [laughter]
1001. 40:33>> All in all, this was a pretty successful
1002. 40:35trip.
1003. 40:36We came, we saw, we kicked some Texas
1004. 40:39butt. There's just one more piece of
1005. 40:41business I need to take care of. I am
1006. 40:44not going to walk out of here letting
1007. 40:46Jill think her behavior was okay. No
1008. 40:48way.
1009. 40:49Jill has a choice to make. Either she
1010. 40:52stays and plays by the Abby Lee Dance
1011. 40:54Company rules
1012. 40:55or she hits the road and finds another
1013. 40:58studio. Jill, I don't want any more
1014. 41:01outbursts like today. You have a big
1015. 41:02decision to make. Don't take it lightly.
1016. 41:04>> [music]
1017. 41:04>> Take it very seriously. Will Kendall
1018. 41:06continue to dance? Will you play on our
1019. 41:08team?
1020. 41:10Are you going to do what [music] I say
1021. 41:11when I say it or
1022. 41:14not? Well, that's something Kendall and
1023. 41:16I will discuss.
