4. 0:08We just want to take a look at the space.
5. 0:10Oh, my goodness, this is the next stop.
6. 0:12WOMAN: On lunge again.
7. 0:14Two arms up in high fifth.
8. 0:16Shoulders down.
9. 0:17CATHY NESBITT-STEIN: Well, Anthony,
10. 0:19show myself what you've got to offer.
11. 0:20Oh, [beep].
12. 0:22Put your mouth on vacation.
13. 0:23You told my daughter--
14. 0:25[interposing voices]
15. 0:28[suspenseful music]
16. 0:30NARRATOR: Coming up on "Dance Moms"--

20. 0:36you better get it together.
21. 0:37DONNA DANIELS: Jalen's going to go against Mari.
22. 0:39RICK TESTERMAN: Jalen will beat Mari hands down.
23. 0:41ANTHONY BURRELL: You can't find your legs.
24. 0:43Plie.
25. 0:44ANNOUNCER: From "Dance Moms," Maddie of The Abby Lee Dance
26. 0:48Company.
27. 0:49[cheers and applause]
28. 0:50ANTHONY BURRELL: I really don't understand
29. 0:52why you're so dysfunctional.
30. 0:53CATHY NESBITT-STEIN: Because you have called me a joke.
31. 0:55[suspenseful music]
32. 0:57My gosh, are you crying?
33. 0:58She's crying.
34. 0:59I'm not going to put up with that.
35. 1:01Ideally, I want a team of five.
36. 1:03You can do the math.
37. 1:05[THEME - NIKKO LOWE, "LIVING ON THE DANCE FLOOR"]
38. 1:07THEME SONG: Get up, get on the floor.
39. 1:11My world is with my girls.
40. 1:14Living on the dance floor!
41. 1:17[suspenseful music]
42. 1:19ABBY LEE MILLER: I'm in sunny California,
43. 1:21shooting the second season of "Abby's Ultimate Dance
44. 1:25Competition."
45. 1:26And we want somebody to perform on the show.
46. 1:28Of course, Maddie jumped at the opportunity to come out to LA
47. 1:32and perform.
48. 1:345, 6-- they'll give you a tick, tick, tick, and then you go.
49. 1:39And you're going to go and look up at that like-- sh.
50. 1:41Right. Ready?
51. 1:42(SINGING) Oh.
52. 1:43ABBY LEE MILLER: Maddie lives for dance.
53. 1:46She loves it.
54. 1:47She's all about it.
55. 1:49Hey, did the other kids want to come?
56. 1:51I guess not.
57. 1:53I think Maddie was definitely the smart one--
58. 1:55getting to meet new people, getting
59. 1:57to see these incredible dancers from around the country,
60. 1:59and networking.
61. 2:01In every job situation, it's not always what you know,
62. 2:05but who you know.
63. 2:07Take your time.
64. 2:08It's OK, you can be after the music.
65. 2:10You can be after the music.
66. 2:13Nice.
67. 2:14While I'm busy in Hollywood with my own TV show,
68. 2:18Cathy is back in Ohio, doing Lord knows what.
69. 2:22She tried to have an all-boys team.
70. 2:24Did it work?
71. 2:25Mm.
72. 2:28Cathy, there's only one me, and you're never going to catch me.
73. 2:32[suspenseful music]
74. 2:33You've got to have the sucker down, OK?
75. 2:36So let's try not to do too much playing.
76. 2:38Let's do-- let's dance and make everybody look bad.
77. 2:43[music playing]
78. 2:48CATHY NESBITT-STEIN: How is everybody?
79. 2:49ALL: Good.
80. 2:50I really want Candy Apples to be a household name.
81. 2:54And I want Candy Apples to be professional dancers.
82. 2:58I didn't cut anybody last week, but I only
83. 3:01want the best dancers for the Candy Apple Core.
84. 3:05Not everybody's safe this week.
85. 3:08Anthony, it looks like he's got a book of notes.
86. 3:11I have made no bones in letting him know what our roles are--
87. 3:17owner of the dance studio, employer.
88. 3:19Choreographer, employee.
89. 3:22So here we are again, pyramid time.
90. 3:25I am losing that pyramid.
91. 3:27And I am introducing the Apple Tree.
92. 3:32Oh, look at that.
93. 3:35We're going to start at the top of the tree.
94. 3:37We have Nick.
95. 3:41Obviously, no questions there from the peanut gallery.
96. 3:46Nick, you were the man of the competition.
97. 3:49[music playing]
98. 3:52[cheers and applause]
99. 3:56You were stupendous.
100. 3:58DONNA DANIELS: Cathy has a little connection with Nick.
101. 4:01Nick's put a lot of time into this,
102. 4:03working hard with Anthony and Cathy.
103. 4:05And he deserves to get some special parts, get some solos.
104. 4:09Nick should be Cathy's leading man.
105. 4:13The next stunning Apple, it is Hadley.
106. 4:16[clapping]
107. 4:18YVETTE WALTS: I was hoping Hadley would be on the top.
108. 4:20She's a very advanced dancer at the age of 12.
109. 4:24When Cathy called to invite Hadley to her team,
110. 4:27I was thrilled.
111. 4:29Versus Abby Lee Miller, she doesn't care about anything
112. 4:31but winning, and if it's even taking a kid down,
113. 4:34it doesn't matter to her.
114. 4:36[music playing]
115. 4:37(SINGING) Open up your light tonight.
116. 4:39YVETTE WALTS: Abby tried to break Hadley.
117. 4:41KEVIN MANNO: Abby, I'm reading your facial expression,
118. 4:43and you don't seem that happy.
119. 4:45ABBY LEE MILLER: Should I say roadkill?
120. 4:47AUDIENCE: Oh.
121. 4:48CATHY NESBITT-STEIN: OK, let's move on.
122. 4:51Let's see who's in this Apple position.
123. 4:55We have Nicaya on the tree.
124. 4:57Even though she's not here, Nicaya
125. 4:59is next on the Apple Tree.
126. 5:00She dropped everything last week to come and represent
127. 5:03Candy Apples.
128. 5:04There's always going to be a spot for her.
129. 5:06Next, we have Zack.
130. 5:09GINA TORRES: I feel like Zack really is an excellent leading
131. 5:12man.
132. 5:13He's always been a leader.
133. 5:15That's just who he is.
134. 5:16I think Cathy is a great mentor.
135. 5:19I think she's a great teacher.
136. 5:21And I think she's a great coach.
137. 5:24I'm dancing with Candy Apples because I feel like it's
138. 5:27a really positive environment.
139. 5:29I do want to beat Abby for Cathy.
140. 5:31CATHY NESBITT-STEIN: Next we have Jalen.
141. 5:34RICK TESTERMAN: My son Jalen is 11 years old,
142. 5:37a b-boy from Seattle.
143. 5:38He's a breakdancer.
144. 5:39He's self-taught for the most part.
145. 5:42His background is not really strong in choreography,
146. 5:45but what he does, he is amazing at.
147. 5:48CATHY NESBITT-STEIN: Finally, we've got Mari.
148. 5:51GINA DUDASH: Mari has one title in Indiana, Ohio.
149. 5:55I want Mari to have the best possible opportunities
150. 5:58in the industry.
151. 5:59And I feel that Cathy is a leader in the industry.
152. 6:01And if anybody is going to get my little girl known,
153. 6:04it's Cathy.
154. 6:05CATHY NESBITT-STEIN: That leaves Campbell.
155. 6:08You didn't do the dance.
156. 6:09ALLI REYNOLDS: Cathy is looking for her ultimate dream team.
157. 6:12I think that she's going to get a chance
158. 6:13to prove that she's something other than what they think she
159. 6:16is.
160. 6:18CAMPBELL REYNOLDS: I'm not here just
161. 6:19to be friends with everybody.
162. 6:21I'm here because I want to dance.
163. 6:22My mom made me for one reason, one reason, only to dance.
164. 6:25CATHY NESBITT-STEIN: This week, we
165. 6:26are going to Masters of Dance in Columbus, Ohio.
166. 6:30We will be doing a group dance.
167. 6:32It's going to be fun.
168. 6:33ANTHONY BURRELL: The dance will be entitled "So Chic."
169. 6:35I don't know what "chic" means.
170. 6:38I really don't.
171. 6:40ANTHONY BURRELL: It's about over-the-top characters,
172. 6:42the Club Kids.
173. 6:43CATHY NESBITT-STEIN: Then we're going to be doing a duet.
174. 6:46And my leading man Nick and my leading lady Hadley.
175. 6:51[cheers and applause]
176. 6:52HADLEY WALTS: Nick and I are kind of battling each other.
177. 6:55He's amazing, and he really pushes me to do better.
178. 6:57Nick and Hadley, the title of your duet
179. 7:00will be "Tribal Affair."
180. 7:02It's going to be sort of a contemporary style this week.
181. 7:04CATHY NESBITT-STEIN: All right, so that brings us to our solos.
182. 7:08Jalen, you've got a solo this week.
183. 7:11[cheers and applause]
184. 7:14ANTHONY BURRELL: And Jalen, the title of your solo
185. 7:17will be "One Last Goodbye."
186. 7:19With that said, I'm going to give you a contemporary routine
187. 7:22this week.
188. 7:22Yes?
189. 7:23WOMAN: Wow.
190. 7:24CATHY NESBITT-STEIN: Jalen's forte, by far,
191. 7:27is spinning on his head.
192. 7:28But I need to see that Jalen is more than just a b-boy.
193. 7:32It's time that he step up and be an all-around dancer.
194. 7:37And we have one other solo to pass out.
195. 7:41Mari, you're going to get an opportunity.
196. 7:43[cheers and applause]
197. 7:46I'm still on the fence about Mari.
198. 7:48She was sick last week.
199. 7:49There is nothing worse than a dancer full of excuses.
200. 7:53ANTHONY BURRELL: Mari, your solo will be entitled "Still
201. 7:56I Rise."
202. 7:57CATHY NESBITT-STEIN: I still have to trim the fat.
203. 7:59I still would like to tighten up my team a little bit.
204. 8:02Mari and Jalen aren't so safe.
205. 8:05Thanks, moms!
206. 8:06Thanks, dad!
207. 8:07Let's get warmed up, guys.
208. 8:11YVETTE WALTS: OK, that was intense.
209. 8:12RICK TESTERMAN: It was, definitely was.
210. 8:14YVETTE WALTS: But I think the whole process is a test.
211. 8:16They're testing all the kids.
212. 8:18I don't need a test.
213. 8:20I kind of feel bad that Cathy is going to cut a person.
214. 8:23I'm not comfortable at all.
215. 8:24CATHY NESBITT-STEIN: So guys, let's talk about the dance
216. 8:26this week, OK?
217. 8:27You guys are Club Kids.
218. 8:29It's all about being who you are,
219. 8:31and you expressing yourself.
220. 8:33I need to see your interpretation of this song,
221. 8:36OK?
222. 8:375, 6, and a 7, and a-- ah.
223. 8:39RICK TESTERMAN: Come on, J, show them that swag.
224. 8:41There it is.
225. 8:41There you go.
226. 8:42Hoo!
227. 8:43CATHY NESBITT-STEIN: This week's dance
228. 8:45is going to be so much fun.
229. 8:46It's a hip hop number, and it's called "So Chic."
230. 8:49It's about Club Kids who like to go out in ostentatious clothes,
231. 8:54and they just like to go clubbing.
232. 8:56Not only do they have to nail their choreography,
233. 8:59but they're also characters.
234. 9:02And that has to come across to the judges.
235. 9:03[MUSIC - MALIK SO CHIC, "I DON'T DANCE"]
236. 9:05(SINGING) Shut down all red carpet lane.
237. 9:07ANTHONY BURRELL: [inaudible]!
238. 9:08Hit it hard!
239. 9:09Hit it!
240. 9:10GINA DUDASH: I'm not making an excuse,
241. 9:11but there is something to be said for when a dancer doesn't
242. 9:14typically dance in bare feet.
243. 9:16Mari was kind of given a bad rap.
244. 9:18And I think she got a lot of [beep] for nothing.
245. 9:20Cathy is making it clear that she's going to take
246. 9:23this team of six down to five.
247. 9:25I'm a little nervous.
248. 9:26My vote is going to be Mari.
249. 9:28RICK TESTERMAN: Honestly, I'm really worried about Jalen
250. 9:29this week.
251. 9:31GINA DUDASH: I'm worried about Mari as well.
252. 9:32Jalen's going to go against Mari.
253. 9:33Right.
254. 9:34RICK TESTERMAN: Jalen will beat Mari hands down,
255. 9:35without a doubt. - Really?
256. 9:37Knock it off.
257. 9:38RICK TESTERMAN: Don't hate.
258. 9:39Don't hate.
259. 9:40Don't hate.
260. 9:41YVETTE WALTS: Rick is stressing out.
261. 9:42Rick definitely feels that this is something brand-new
262. 9:46for Jalen.
263. 9:47CATHY NESBITT-STEIN: Hey, you ready for this?
264. 9:49We want to keep you on this team, Jalen,
265. 9:51but we need to see you grow every single week.
266. 9:55The fact that Jalen just knows how to do hip hop
267. 9:58and has no formal technique, I can't
268. 10:01let that ruin the group dances.
269. 10:03ANTHONY BURRELL: I want you to break, see the ceiling.
270. 10:066, 7, 8, and a 1, stop.
271. 10:09You've got to just be there.
272. 10:11The challenge this week is to get
273. 10:13Jalen to do a triple pirouette.
274. 10:14If you can do three spins on your head,
275. 10:16you can do it on one foot.
276. 10:18So it's important to get Jalen to be able to understand
277. 10:21his ability.
278. 10:22And if Jalen doesn't hit that triple pirouette,
279. 10:23I'm afraid we're going to have to cut him.
280. 10:25CATHY NESBITT-STEIN: Jalen, just remember,
281. 10:26you're not getting to use any of your tricks this week.
282. 10:29You're-- no, keep your ankles together.
283. 10:31ANTHONY BURRELL: Keep your ankles together.
284. 10:32Yes.
285. 10:33[suspenseful music]
286. 10:34On top of the feet, on top of that releve.
287. 10:36Yes.
288. 10:37On top of that forced arch.
289. 10:38And 1, 2--
290. 10:41DONNA DANIELS: And we're going to be here late tonight
291. 10:42because he's still working on Jalen,
292. 10:44and we haven't even got to Mari yet.
293. 10:46I wish he would start Mari's a little bit just even the intro.
294. 10:49Jalen needs the extra coaching because he's not
295. 10:51a contemporary dancer.
296. 10:52Mari is.
297. 10:53RICK TESTERMAN: I need to ask him if I can record
298. 10:55that before he's done with him.
299. 10:57GINA DUDASH: Oh, no, Rick.
300. 10:58What about Mari? WOMAN: Poor Mari.
301. 10:59RICK TESTERMAN: One of the hardest things
302. 11:00about being the only man in the "kiss and cry" room is
303. 11:03that women have to understand, we express ourselves
304. 11:07differently.
305. 11:08Out!
306. 11:10Then go in!
307. 11:11Out!
308. 11:12In!
309. 11:13GINA DUDASH: I do feel, in some ways,
310. 11:15Mari is being almost set up to fail because she's not getting
311. 11:19the rehearsal time with Anthony.
312. 11:21I know they're in there, but I think that it's OK for us
313. 11:23to go in and get you stretched.
314. 11:24So why don't we do that?
315. 11:26Stretch.
316. 11:27Oh, jeez.
317. 11:28That way?
318. 11:29DONNA DANIELS: She'd get enough time.
319. 11:31If a parent busted in on my rehearsal,
320. 11:33they'd be looking for a new dance studio.
321. 11:35GINA DUDASH: Anthony, can't we start Mari?
322. 11:38[suspenseful music]
323. 11:46[music playing]
324. 11:50CATHY NESBITT-STEIN: OK, so I've got time today to do something
325. 11:53that I've been wanting to do for a while.
326. 11:55And you're going to help me.
327. 11:56I need to catalog all of these bunnies.
328. 11:59We were going to categorize ceramic bunnies, bunnies that
329. 12:01are gifts, antique bunnies, how many I have,
330. 12:05and if we need more.
331. 12:06We'll have fun.
332. 12:07This is something we could do together.
333. 12:09They say we're a happy family.
334. 12:12Sometimes, stepping away is what I need to do.
335. 12:15So I'm going to do my two favorite things.
336. 12:17I'm going to spend some time with my adorable Vivi,
337. 12:20and I'm going to catalog my bunnies.
338. 12:22This by far would be Jill because this is a manly bunny.
339. 12:27And I'll bet you, on her days off, that she smokes a pipe.
340. 12:32Yeah, yeah.
341. 12:33Well, let's move on.
342. 12:34I would say that, that bunny right there
343. 12:37would be Abby on the run with armloads full of food.
344. 12:41[music playing]
345. 12:43ANTHONY BURRELL: So I'm going to put some music on, OK?
346. 12:45I was hired by Cathy to be her resident choreographer.
347. 12:48I have worked with Beyonce.
348. 12:50I have worked with Rihanna, Destiny's Child, Mary J Blige,
349. 12:53Katy Perry.
350. 12:54I have the experience.
351. 12:55I have the knowledge.
352. 12:56And I know what it takes to make a star.
353. 12:58This dance is called "Still I Rise."
354. 13:01And I expect you to rise to the occasion, Mari.
355. 13:03And I want to capitalize on your strengths.
356. 13:06Because you could be a great dancer here,
357. 13:08but if you don't step up, I'm afraid
358. 13:10you're going to be shipped on out of here, Mari.
359. 13:11[suspenseful music]
360. 13:13GINA DUDASH: I think Mari's nervous about having
361. 13:14the solo this week not because Mary isn't accustomed to doing
362. 13:18solos, but Mari's a little nervous
363. 13:20in working with Anthony.
364. 13:21Oh, no.
365. 13:22Listen, listen.
366. 13:23[MUSIC - TRADING VOICES, "RED MOON RISING"]
367. 13:24(SINGING) --goes down.
368. 13:25Go.
369. 13:26Huh!
370. 13:27Where's the energy in the finger, Mari?
371. 13:29Mari's underperforming because she's not believing in herself.
372. 13:32It's not going to be easy, but she needs to be pushed.
373. 13:35You're slipping and sliding all over the place
374. 13:36like it's an ice skating rink.
375. 13:39One more time, from the beginning.
376. 13:41See all that [inaudible] in between?
377. 13:42You see what I'm saying?
378. 13:43This is exactly what I'm talking about with you.
379. 13:45[suspenseful music]
380. 13:48Is she crying?
381. 13:49What's going on?
382. 13:51Huh?
383. 13:54What happened?
384. 13:55What's going on?
385. 13:56GINA DUDASH: When Mari has an asthma attack,
386. 13:58she clearly can't breathe.
387. 14:01My little sweet angel.
388. 14:02At this point, because of the issues that Mary's
389. 14:04had since coming here, I needed Cathy in there
390. 14:07because Cathy is a little more of a nurturing soul.
391. 14:10[suspenseful music]
392. 14:12[music - pailboy, "tofurkey"]
393. 14:14ANTHONY BURRELL: 5, 6, 7, 8.
394. 14:16Boom, fa.
395. 14:20This week, Cathy picked Nick and Hadley a duet, "Tribal Affair."
396. 14:241, 2, 3, 4.
397. 14:25One [inaudible].
398. 14:26Step, pop, step, step.
399. 14:27Up, down.
400. 14:28The costume's sweet.
401. 14:29Great, great costumes.
402. 14:30I'm so excited.
403. 14:32CATHY NESBITT-STEIN: After Mari's meltdown,
404. 14:34it's clear to me that I've given Anthony too much space.
405. 14:37ANTHONY BURRELL: Look, look.
406. 14:39Step, kick, up--
407. 14:40CATHY NESBITT-STEIN: I'm not going to feel
408. 14:41like a guest in my own studio.
409. 14:42I need to have my input and to have some hands-on
410. 14:46with these dancers.
411. 14:47I thought maybe we could take a moment to help them understand
412. 14:50breathing.
413. 14:51Hadley's got to be completely wild
414. 14:53and wear head gear that's very, very flamboyant.
415. 14:57And it's going to affect Nick as well.
416. 15:00Hadley, when you kick him, take that as a moment
417. 15:03to breathe because he's going into the next pass.
418. 15:06You just take a moment to breathe.
419. 15:08DONNA DANIELS: I think that Cathy might cut somebody today
420. 15:11if she doesn't see them perform in the number.
421. 15:14RICK TESTERMAN: By the end of this week,
422. 15:15they're just going to be gone.
423. 15:16You're not going to be here.
424. 15:17So guys, Club Kids.
425. 15:19I have a friend, Malik So Chic.
426. 15:21This is the guy whose song we're performing to.
427. 15:24[music playing]
428. 15:26CHILD: Anthony, is that a guy?
429. 15:27ANTHONY BURRELL: Yes.
430. 15:29Malik So Chic, a very good friend of mine,
431. 15:31the biggest fashionista socialite in the New York party
432. 15:34scene.
433. 15:35He's the star whenever he walks into any room.
434. 15:38All the boys can make 30 push-ups quickly.
435. 15:40CATHY NESBITT-STEIN: Anthony wants the kids to do push-ups.
436. 15:43ANTHONY BURRELL: Lower, Zack.
437. 15:44If it's for conditioning, I'm OK with it.
438. 15:49Why don't you do something like--
439. 15:50ANTHONY BURRELL: Zack, your push-ups.
440. 15:52CATHY NESBITT-STEIN: You just interrupted what we were doing.
441. 15:54You stay over there with the ladies,
442. 15:56and I'll stay over here with the men.
443. 15:57I'm not interrupting.
444. 15:59And you need to mind your p's and q's, that
445. 16:01means polite and quiet.
446. 16:02ANTHONY BURRELL: This is my p's and q's.
447. 16:03This is my p and q.
448. 16:04CATHY NESBITT-STEIN: No, I'm sorry.
449. 16:05It's not.
450. 16:06You think p's and q's are something you eat.
451. 16:08Just go on and be quiet.
452. 16:09CATHY NESBITT-STEIN: What? - It's corny.
453. 16:10Be quiet. CATHY NESBITT-STEIN: See, corny.
454. 16:11Corny, all you're thinking about is food.
455. 16:12Is your name Abby Lee?
456. 16:15ANTHONY BURRELL: You had me here because of my resume.
457. 16:18You know that I have the information to be here,
458. 16:20so let me do what I do.
459. 16:22My passion is to get you guys looking the way that I want you
460. 16:24to do.
461. 16:25I'm going to go about it the way that I want to.
462. 16:27Now give me 20 push-ups.
463. 16:29We're doing the push-ups for no reason.
464. 16:30ANTHONY BURRELL: So what?
465. 16:32One, because I don't want to do push-ups for no reason.
466. 16:35ANTHONY BURRELL: It's just about strength.
467. 16:37And if I thought you have one weak member, you're all weak.
468. 16:39[suspenseful music]
469. 16:41WOMAN: Baby boy.
470. 16:43RICK TESTERMAN: Then why aren't the girls doing push-ups?
471. 16:45ANTHONY BURRELL: I'm sorry.
472. 16:46Why aren't the girls doing push-ups?
473. 16:47ANTHONY BURRELL: Because girls don't do push-ups.
474. 16:49RICK TESTERMAN: Why not?
475. 16:50ANTHONY BURRELL: I don't want them to, that's why.
476. 16:52Rick has absolutely no idea what he's talking about.
477. 16:56The girls are not doing push-ups because they
478. 16:57need soft and dainty arms.
479. 16:59I'm not going to have no girls looking like He-Man.
480. 17:00[suspenseful music]
481. 17:03[door banging]
482. 17:05RICK TESTERMAN: I didn't have a father growing up.
483. 17:07[dramatic music]
484. 17:10I didn't have someone to support me.
485. 17:19Were you looking out for yourself?
486. 17:24I didn't bring you here for this.
487. 17:26I brought you here to learn, to broaden
488. 17:30your horizons and your dance.
489. 17:32I didn't have someone to protect me.
490. 17:36I didn't have that figure there to tell me,
491. 17:41no matter what happens, I'm going to protect you.
492. 17:48I know you want to be here for that team,
493. 17:50and I know you want to do what you can for the team,
494. 17:53but I cannot let someone treat you in that manner.
495. 18:03DONNA DANIELS: Where is J?
496. 18:06GINA TORRES: And Rick?
497. 18:07DONNA DANIELS: He was pretty heated yesterday.
498. 18:09Rick is so unpredictable.
499. 18:11I have no idea where he is.
500. 18:12He's supposed to be here, but he needed a cooling-off period.
501. 18:15Well, wouldn't it be nice if we all
502. 18:17had that time to just cool off if we got upset
503. 18:19about something.
504. 18:19That's unacceptable.
505. 18:21He would not be allowed back in.
506. 18:24[suspenseful music]
507. 18:26RICK TESTERMAN: Jalen really wants to be here.
508. 18:28Although he wants to be here, he has to understand,
509. 18:31I have to protect him as a parent first.
510. 18:33I think that Rick does come off disrespectful sometimes.
511. 18:37I would love if he would take it back a notch.
512. 18:40Hey, guys, good morning!
513. 18:41[interposing voices]
514. 18:44I know that you are upset.
515. 18:46And all I'm going to say is that I will be trying
516. 18:49to make the best situation.
517. 18:51I need to talk to Anthony, and it's not going to be easy.
518. 18:54Anthony has definitely helped to establish this whole new Candy
519. 18:59Apple, but what does it matter if he's chasing kids away?
520. 19:03Every time we work together, there's
521. 19:06a situation where you hurt my feelings.
522. 19:08I feel that there should be a line that neither one of us
523. 19:10cross.
524. 19:12I don't think that you're here to give these kids discipline.
525. 19:14Dance is a discipline.
526. 19:15But those kids don't need discipline.
527. 19:16But you have to understand-- yes, they do.
528. 19:18Cathy's biggest weakness is babying them.
529. 19:20We fight a lot because she's always in my face.
530. 19:23And I think you have to respect me and my space
531. 19:26when I'm in there.
532. 19:27That's the only thing that I require.
533. 19:28I don't have to walk out of here
534. 19:30and feel like I'm less than because you have called me
535. 19:34a joke.
536. 19:37ANTHONY BURRELL: Cathy--
537. 19:38You think about it.
538. 19:39ANTHONY BURRELL: Cathy!
539. 19:40Come here, Cathy.
540. 19:41Here we go again.
541. 19:42ALLI REYNOLDS: When Anthony starts screaming and yelling
542. 19:44at Cathy, and swearing, I am not-- that is not OK with me.
543. 19:48One, I'm here for Cathy.
544. 19:49It's Cathy's studio.
545. 19:50And at the end of the day, she's the one signing his checks.
546. 19:53ANTHONY BURRELL: I don't think that you're a joke.
547. 19:54Well, then don't say it.
548. 19:56When you say things that hurt my feelings--
549. 19:57CATHY NESBITT-STEIN: Well, you hurt my feelings first.
550. 19:58And I'm going to get upset with you like an alley cat.
551. 20:00And that's exactly what it is.
552. 20:02It's a retaliation thing.
553. 20:03And you started them.
554. 20:04You started them.
555. 20:05ANTHONY BURRELL: OK.
556. 20:06OK, but then I have to finish it.
557. 20:08But you won't finish it because I am that vindictive.
558. 20:10OK, then let me have the last word right now.
559. 20:13You've got it, Cathy.
560. 20:14No!
561. 20:15[suspenseful music]
562. 20:19That wasn't a word.
563. 20:21[sniffing]
564. 20:25I like Anthony, and I like what he brings to Candy Apples.
565. 20:29But what I don't like is I feel like it's
566. 20:33right around the corner, that another argument could happen.
567. 20:37[music playing]
568. 20:38[cars moving sounds]
569. 20:41ABBY LEE MILLER: Right here needs to be lit.
570. 20:44Then Maddie leaves there.
571. 20:46She [inaudible].
572. 20:47She grand jetés this way.
573. 20:48Maddie has her work cut out for her.
574. 20:51The other contestants on "Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition,"
575. 20:54they've been here for weeks.
576. 20:56Maddie is walking in cold.
577. 20:58She has no idea where the cameras are going to be,
578. 21:00what angles they're going to hit.
579. 21:02She doesn't know how slippery the floor is.
580. 21:05This technical rehearsal is going to be rough.
581. 21:09Maddie needs to pay close attention,
582. 21:11so that she always hits her marks.
583. 21:13Is that a good angle?
584. 21:14You can see that picture?
585. 21:15OK?
586. 21:16And down.
587. 21:17So when this show airs, we want her performance to be flawless.
588. 21:22Come on, Maddie.
589. 21:22No pressure.
590. 21:23[suspenseful music]
591. 21:25Got to reach to us.
592. 21:26Reach like, uh, help me!
593. 21:29Yes.
594. 21:30Cathy's kids, they're not really her kids.
595. 21:32She didn't train them.
596. 21:33So it's all about Maddie.
597. 21:35I'm really not too concerned with Cathy.
598. 21:37And that's the last time I'm saying her name.
599. 21:39[suspenseful music]
600. 21:43ANTHONY BURRELL: Ready to dance?
601. 21:45So let's go from the top.
602. 21:46Full out, OK?
603. 21:47This is a crucial rehearsal for Mari.
604. 21:49This rehearsal today will reflect that Mari will
605. 21:51be a part of the team or not.
606. 21:52[MUSIC - TRADING VOICES, "RED MOON RISING"]
607. 21:54(SINGING) It's in the air.
608. 21:55ANTHONY BURRELL: And drop.
609. 21:56[MUSIC - TRADING VOICES, "RED MOON RISING"]
610. 21:58(SINGING) It's down below.
611. 21:59Everywhere we go.
612. 22:01ANTHONY BURRELL: Bop!
613. 22:03Bop!
614. 22:05It seems like she's responding a lot better to Anthony,
615. 22:07I think, today than she was.
616. 22:09[music playing]
617. 22:10ANTHONY BURRELL: Bop, bop.
618. 22:11Bop, bop.
619. 22:11Boom, boom. Bop, yes.
620. 22:12OK?
621. 22:14I think she's feeling a little more comfortable with him.
622. 22:16Anthony is exhibiting a softer side today to Mary.
623. 22:21A little bit more personality, but I hate the music.
624. 22:23You have people thinking you can't do this.
625. 22:25I know you can.
626. 22:27The technique is there.
627. 22:28Let's go again.
628. 22:29What don't you like about the music?
629. 22:31What is it-- what is it about it?
630. 22:32It sounds country to me.
631. 22:34The way I get it, you don't like the music.
632. 22:36You've been kind of upset since you've been here.
633. 22:39Nothing is really jiving for you.
634. 22:41YVETTE WALTS: There's definitely a tension with Gi and Rick.
635. 22:44Sounds like to me, if she doesn't win,
636. 22:47you're going right back to, well, it was because of this,
637. 22:49or it was because of that, or it was because of this.
638. 22:52Both their kids have a solo, and they're both competing
639. 22:54really against each other.
640. 22:56So it's intense.
641. 22:57Excuse after excuse after excuse.
642. 23:00GINA DUDASH: I'm not making excuses for Mari.
643. 23:02Mari had legitimate reasons as to why
644. 23:04there were some setbacks.
645. 23:05ALLI REYNOLDS: Do we all agree that the proof
646. 23:06is in the pudding?
647. 23:07RICK TESTERMAN: I agree, the proof is in the pudding.
648. 23:09ALLI REYNOLDS: All right, then I think
649. 23:10tomorrow will speak volumes.
650. 23:20CATHY NESBITT-STEIN: Today, we are at Masters
651. 23:23of Dance in Columbus, Ohio.
652. 23:25And some of the finest dance studios in this area
653. 23:28are here competing.
654. 23:29This is the second week with this team,
655. 23:31and there has been tension all over the board.
656. 23:34And I just am not seeing any unity.
657. 23:36I'm not seeing this team come together the way I want it to.
658. 23:40I just hope everyone puts their personal best out on stage.
659. 23:44RICK TESTERMAN: Hey.
660. 23:44Look what I brought.
661. 23:46WOMAN: Oh, my God.
662. 23:46WOMAN: Another mascot?
663. 23:48CATHY NESBITT-STEIN: Anybody who doesn't do well today
664. 23:50gets to take it home and take care of all of its poop turds.
665. 23:53Who doesn't do well?
666. 23:54CATHY NESBITT-STEIN: Yeah.
667. 23:55I absolutely love bunnies.
668. 23:57And people do rabbit foot for good luck,
669. 23:59so we've got the whole bunny for our mascot.
670. 24:02I just want to put out there to you,
671. 24:04this is our second competition together as one
672. 24:07big, happy family.
673. 24:09Do you remember what I said last week?
674. 24:12I said that, ideally, I wanted a team of five.
675. 24:16You can do the math.
676. 24:18JALEN TESTERMAN: I feel kind of nervous because what
677. 24:21I feel it's going to be me who had to leave the team.
678. 24:23CATHY NESBITT-STEIN: I'm going to go check in.
679. 24:25So get ready, guys, because I'm excited for a big day.
680. 24:27[suspenseful music]
681. 24:31GINA DUDASH: I hope Mari's not the one going home.
682. 24:33I'm hoping that Mari will prove herself,
683. 24:35and maybe she'll earn a spot on that team.
684. 24:39CATHY NESBITT-STEIN: I think that Rick is probably
685. 24:40pretty nervous about Jalen doing this contemporary piece.
686. 24:43I think that Rick is very confident when
687. 24:45Jalen is spinning on his head.
688. 24:47But I think that he's probably a little nervous,
689. 24:50he wants Jalen on this team.
690. 24:51[laughing]
691. 24:53[cheers and applause]
692. 24:55ANTHONY BURRELL: Pirouette, what's the pirouette position?
693. 24:57Fum fum fum fum fum fum.
694. 25:01OK, go work on that.
695. 25:02That's good.
696. 25:03[suspenseful music]
697. 25:05You're going to nail those three turns, yeah?
698. 25:07RICK TESTERMAN: Anthony tells Jalen he's
699. 25:09got to nail a triple pirouette.
700. 25:11I'm happy he has that faith in Jalen,
701. 25:14but are we being set up to fail?
702. 25:16I just want the both of you to know, it's about you two.
703. 25:20I think you're in the same category, yeah?
704. 25:22ALL: Yeah.
705. 25:23Oh, wow, we have a contest.
706. 25:25GINA DUDASH: I'm a little bit worried about Mari going up
707. 25:28with Jalen because, once again, Rick is gloating,
708. 25:30and he is confident.
709. 25:33And I guess the way I approach things, I never say,
710. 25:36I've got it in the bag, because there's always a chance that
711. 25:38you don't.
712. 25:39I think you're going to do great.
713. 25:40Squeeze your center.
714. 25:42Don't rush.
715. 25:43Breathe.
716. 25:44Just relax.
717. 25:45You got it, OK?
718. 25:46Oh, we're ready.
719. 25:47Let's do it.
720. 25:48You're ready, kiddo?
721. 25:49RICK TESTERMAN: Jalen's not ready to go,
722. 25:49Jalen's ready to win.
723. 25:50CATHY NESBITT-STEIN: May the best dancer win.
724. 25:53[cheers and applause]
725. 25:58ANNOUNCER: All right, moving ahead just a little bit
726. 26:00with the program, with entry number 19, 1-9.
727. 26:03Elite Junior Solo division, this is Mari with "Still I Rise."
728. 26:07[cheers and applause]
729. 26:09CATHY NESBITT-STEIN: I need to know that Mari can perform
730. 26:11under pressure.
731. 26:12Last week, she was sick.
732. 26:13And this week, she got so nervous in rehearsal.
733. 26:15This time, there should be no excuses.
734. 26:18I want her to be amazing.
735. 26:20[MUSIC - TRADING VOICES, "RED MOON RISING"]
736. 26:21(SINGING) I can feel it when the day goes down.
737. 26:27And I can feel it when you're not around.
738. 26:34You can hide behind the clouds for now.
739. 26:38Keep yourself concealed.
740. 26:41You won't change the way I feel.
741. 26:45[instrumental music]
742. 26:58GINA DUDASH: I think Mari may have forgotten a step,
743. 27:01and so she ad-libbed a little bit, which is a smart thing
744. 27:03to do.
745. 27:05But I don't think Anthony's going to be happy about it.
746. 27:06[MUSIC - TRADING VOICES, "RED MOON RISING"]
747. 27:08(SINGING) Then pull you close to me.
748. 27:16[drumming]
749. 27:23[cheers and applause]
750. 27:26CATHY NESBITT-STEIN: Mari did a great job with her solo,
751. 27:28although there was a portion where she forgot.
752. 27:31That's cracking under pressure to me.
753. 27:33ANNOUNCER: All right, coming to the stage next [inaudible]
754. 27:37with entry number 21.
755. 27:39CATHY NESBITT-STEIN: All of my dancers
756. 27:41have to be able to do a triple pirouette.
757. 27:42And Jalen is no exception.
758. 27:44ANNOUNCER: Jalen with "One Last Goodbye."
759. 27:46[cheers and applause]
760. 27:50CATHY NESBITT-STEIN: Jalen!
761. 27:52Whoo!
762. 27:56[MUSIC - TY TAYLOR, "ONE MORE LAST GOODBYE"]
763. 28:04(SINGING) Suppose that you were never mine,
764. 28:09and I was never yours.
765. 28:12Suppose that we could find a remedy.
766. 28:19One more goodbye, love, because my love
767. 28:23is unwilling to be gone.
768. 28:26One more, I will cry, love, because my love is still
769. 28:32here holding on.
770. 28:34JALEN TESTERMAN: On stage, I messed up.
771. 28:36I did not do much of a pirouette.
772. 28:38I think Cathy will be proud of me
773. 28:40because at least I didn't get frustrated,
774. 28:42and I did the rest of my routine.
775. 28:43[MUSIC - TY TAYLOR, "ONE MORE LAST GOODBYE"]
776. 28:44(SINGING) One more last goodbye!
777. 28:45[cheers and applause]
778. 28:48(SINGING) One more-- one more last goodbye!
779. 28:59[cheers and applause]
780. 29:07[suspenseful music]
781. 29:10ANNOUNCER: That was entry number 21, Jalen,
782. 29:12with "One Last Goodbye."
783. 29:13MARI DUDASH: Jalen has a really big chance
784. 29:15of winning because he uses a lot of emotion when he dances.
785. 29:19And I think the judges are really into it.
786. 29:21WOMAN: Oh-oh.
787. 29:22Hold on.
788. 29:23I see a straight line here.
789. 29:25WOMAN: You look underwhelmed.
790. 29:26WOMAN: What's wrong?
791. 29:27We need to be realistic.
792. 29:28[suspenseful music]
793. 29:30CATHY NESBITT-STEIN: Jalen left the door open with that triple.
794. 29:33No, he didn't.
795. 29:34They didn't know he wasn't--
796. 29:35supposed to do a triple.
797. 29:36And he didn't feel that he can land it,
798. 29:38so he improvised, so he wouldn't ruin his dance.
799. 29:41I think Jalen did a phenomenal job.
800. 29:43WOMAN: He danced smarter.
801. 29:44CATHY NESBITT-STEIN: But next time, he has to do the triple,
802. 29:46if there's a next time.
803. 29:47ANTHONY BURRELL: Mari did good.
804. 29:48Mari did OK.
805. 29:49She was strongest out in her turns.
806. 29:51But half of the dance, she's just walked around.
807. 29:53WOMAN: I know. What happened there?
808. 29:55CATHY NESBITT-STEIN: She forgot. She forgot her dance.
809. 29:56I don't know.
810. 29:58CATHY NESBITT-STEIN: How do you think she did against Jalen?
811. 29:59GINA DUDASH: I don't even want to guess and jinx
812. 30:01that because I think both of them have their strong points.
813. 30:04Somebody's going home.
814. 30:05[suspenseful music]
815. 30:07CATHY NESBITT-STEIN: We are really stressing out right now.
816. 30:10At this point, we need to get prepared for the duet.
817. 30:12WOMAN: Can you put that on?
818. 30:14WOMAN: Here's some pins and--
819. 30:15[suspenseful music]
820. 30:17CATHY NESBITT-STEIN: My gosh, she
821. 30:19did-- poor kid's falling forward.
822. 30:21WOMAN: Are you nervous?
823. 30:21WOMAN: I'm sorry, sorry.
824. 30:22WOMAN: Hadley, are you nervous?
825. 30:23You seem nervous.
826. 30:24CATHY NESBITT-STEIN: My gosh, are you crying?
827. 30:26She's crying.
828. 30:27No, she's good.
829. 30:28Hadley is my strongest dancer.
830. 30:30I need her to get herself under control
831. 30:34to score high with the judges.
832. 30:36I don't know what's going on with her right now.
833. 30:38YVETTE WALTS: She has faith in both of you.
834. 30:41The headpiece for the "Tribal Affair" is humongous.
835. 30:45And I noticed that Hadley's starting to get really
836. 30:48upset and concerned.
837. 30:49All she kept saying was, OK, I don't think that I'm
838. 30:51going to be able to go out there and try
839. 30:53to go for the win with this on my head.
840. 30:55Mom, I can't do it.
841. 30:56I'm not wearing this headpiece.
842. 30:57But she's never ever had something
843. 30:59that large on her head before.
844. 31:02So I said to Hadley, you need to borrow my strength right now.
845. 31:07How would you change this headpiece
846. 31:09to make it feel better?
847. 31:10WOMAN: Can you give me a safety pin?
848. 31:12CATHY NESBITT-STEIN: Do you not want to wear it?
849. 31:14[inaudible]
850. 31:15YVETTE WALTS: We'll practice then.
851. 31:16No practice.
852. 31:18I think there's a lot of tension this week
853. 31:20because everyone wants to stay on this team,
854. 31:23but one person has to get cut.
855. 31:24It's all right.
856. 31:25It's OK.
857. 31:26[suspenseful music]
858. 31:32[cheers and applause]
859. 31:38ANNOUNCER: All right, the next in the Junior Duet/Trio
860. 31:41division, this is entry number 34--
861. 31:43Nicholas and Hadley with "Tribal Affair."
862. 31:45CATHY NESBITT-STEIN: Hadley's having a meltdown
863. 31:46because the headpiece is extremely heavy.
864. 31:49She's got to do some very difficult partnering.
865. 31:52And she's just a nervous wreck, that she's not going to do well
866. 31:55for Candy Apples.
867. 31:56[music - pailboy, "tofurkey"]
868. 32:12(SINGING) Mm, if you want me to stay, I'll be around the way.
869. 32:18I send this message over to you now.
870. 32:22And if you want me to go, I will be out that door.
871. 32:27And you will never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever see me around.
872. 32:35[clapping]
873. 32:41[cheers and applause]
874. 32:44[inaudible]!
875. 32:47YVETTE WALTS: I think the costuming was phenomenal.
876. 32:51I think the choreography was brilliant.
877. 32:54And they pulled it off.
878. 32:55It was a great day for them.
879. 32:57[cheers and applause]
880. 33:00HADLEY WALTS: With all the drama this week,
881. 33:03with the headpiece and everything,
882. 33:05it was just such a relief.
883. 33:06That was so great.
884. 33:08WOMAN: We need to get ready for group.
885. 33:09Yes, please get ready for the group.

906. 34:26It shows I'm making kids better, stronger.
907. 34:29Cathy needs to realize that she is not in my league.

921. 35:02And the reason is because he's so confident within himself.

1018. 38:37happy with either Mari or Jalen's placement.
1019. 38:40Quite frankly, they should have taken it upon themselves
1020. 38:43to work even harder to get a higher placement.
1021. 38:45ANNOUNCER: And now for our Elite Junior

1030. 39:16[cheers and applause]
1031. 39:17CATHY NESBITT-STEIN: I don't know that I'm completely
1032. 39:19disappointed with second place.
1033. 39:20Sure, I always like to be a winner,
1034. 39:23but there's going to be other teams out there that might come
1035. 39:26along that are deservingly so of that first place spot.
1036. 39:29[cheers and applause]
1037. 39:38Guys, you could have been top overall.
1038. 39:40I just want to point out, the school,
1039. 39:42that one, very versatile.
1040. 39:44We can't be average.
1041. 39:45ANTHONY BURRELL: We may not have went home with a top overall,
1042. 39:48but they're definitely going to remember our names today.
1043. 39:50Oh, yeah.
1044. 39:51[interposing voices]
1045. 39:52CATHY NESBITT-STEIN: We did great with the Duo/Trio.
1046. 39:55That cannot be taken away from them.
1047. 39:57They are A-listers on that.
1048. 40:00Lots of things that everybody needs to think about.
1049. 40:02I was really hoping that between Jalen and Mari,
1050. 40:06that we would see a clear-cut winner.
1051. 40:08I have to cut somebody.
1052. 40:09But what stinks is, it appears that my choreographer--
1053. 40:13who I'm investing a lot in--
1054. 40:15could possibly be my big problem.
1055. 40:17OK, so here we are again.
1056. 40:21You coming down to my level, big guy?
1057. 40:23Is Anthony the Apple that's going to have to get cut?
1058. 40:26You've got to control yourself, or I don't have any respect
1059. 40:30to those people.
1060. 40:31I have invested time, money, and my reputation in Anthony.
1061. 40:36So Anthony, not only do I want them to do a lot of soul
1062. 40:40searching, I want you to do some soul searching, too.
1063. 40:44With the money that I've invested in Anthony,
1064. 40:47I could buy some designer handbags.
1065. 40:50So great choreographer, new Louis?
1066. 40:54ANTHONY BURRELL: But I'm going to be fine regardless.
