  1. 0:02This weekend, we will be traveling

  3. 0:06[cheering]
  4. 0:08CATHY: I got Kendall a performance opportunity.
  5. 0:09You'll be spectacular for me.
  6. 0:11OK.
  7. 0:12This is great for us.
  8. 0:13I would like for Nia to be considered for the trio.
  9. 0:15This is my domain.
  10. 0:17I'm the principal here.
  11. 0:18She got a solo tonight.
  12. 0:19Abby.
  13. 0:19And you just blew it.
  14. 0:21[THEME - NIKKO LOWE, "LIVING ON THE DANCE FLOOR"]
  15. 0:23THEME SONG: Get up.
  16. 0:24Get on the floor.
  17. 0:26My world is with my girls living on the dance floor.
  18. 0:32[music playing]
  19. 0:35Let's go, girls.
  20. 0:36Come on. Come on.
  21. 0:37Get in here. Come on.
  22. 0:38Come on. Come on.
  23. 0:42Last week's competition, Fire and Ice,
  24. 0:45was a big disappointment, ladies.
  25. 0:47I mean, here we are, invited back as winners,
  26. 0:50and you guys don't even place?
  27. 0:52Not acceptable.
  28. 0:54Six of you weren't in unison.
  29. 0:55The group, it was just a complete trainwreck.
  30. 0:58When you do partner work, it really has to be in sync.
  31. 1:01The group needs to be cleaner, do you understand?
  32. 1:05I am so sick of Abby coming down on our kids.
  33. 1:08How are you going to be amazing on stage
  34. 1:10when your teacher keeps knocking you down and making you lose
  35. 1:12your self-confidence?
  36. 1:14She always puts the blame on someone else.
  37. 1:16All right, now let me get right to the pyramid.
  38. 1:20First I have Mackenzie.
  39. 1:24I think your acting could have been bigger and longer,
  40. 1:27and I think when you walk, we need to work
  41. 1:30on turning those feet out.
  42. 1:31Next I have Paige.
  43. 1:33I was in the dressing room all day long with you.
  44. 1:36I didn't see you utilizing your spare time,
  45. 1:40and you need to do that.
  46. 1:41Next, Nia.
  47. 1:44I just need to see more from you.
  48. 1:46It's tough to see Nia at the bottom of the pyramid
  49. 1:50again and again and again this week.
  50. 1:53It's frustrating.
  51. 1:54She's doing everything she possibly can to get ahead.
  52. 1:57Moving up, Chloe.
  53. 2:00Chloe, I thought you did a nice job on your solo,
  54. 2:03but your age is 10.
  55. 2:04You're competing 10 to 12.
  56. 2:07You have to dance like a 12-year-old.
  57. 2:09Chloe competed against girls who were years older than her
  58. 2:12and she still got second place.
  59. 2:14The only thing Abby sees, though,
  60. 2:15is that she didn't win first.
  61. 2:16She is ridiculous.
  62. 2:18And next we have Brooke.
  63. 2:20Once again, you danced 13 to 15.
  64. 2:24At 13, you won the whole division.
  65. 2:26And on the top of the pyramid is Maddie.
  66. 2:29Maddie, I challenged you to see if you could stay there for two
  67. 2:32weeks in a row, and you did.
  68. 2:34Now I'm challenging you again.
  69. 2:36Can you make it three?
  70. 2:38I was so happy to be in the top of the pyramid for two
  71. 2:41weeks in a row, but also, I kind of feel bad for the other girls
  72. 2:45because I think they worked very hard, too.
  73. 2:47All right, now, this weekend, we will be traveling
  74. 2:54to Miami Beach, Florida.
  75. 2:56[cheering]
  76. 2:59I love Miami.
  77. 3:00It's tropical.
  78. 3:01It's exciting.
  79. 3:02It's fun.
  80. 3:03It's fast-paced.
  81. 3:04There's sun.
  82. 3:06There's sand.
  83. 3:07And there's boys.
  84. 3:09We will all be performing a group number.
  85. 3:12Even me?
  86. 3:14Even you.
  87. 3:14Yay.
  88. 3:16The group number is called "Reputation."
  89. 3:18I want you to think about Annette Funicello and Frankie
  90. 3:22Avalon and "Beach Blanket Bingo."
  91. 3:25Miss Abby starts talking about Annette Funicello
  92. 3:28and the "Beach Bingo."
  93. 3:30I have no idea what she's talking about.
  94. 3:33Now moms, when those girls get home tonight,
  95. 3:35I want you to look at some of those old movies.
  96. 3:38I want the girls to see what that's all about,
  97. 3:40because that's going to be their group number.
  98. 3:42It's '60s.
  99. 3:43It's pony.
  100. 3:44It's swim.
  101. 3:46Cute, cute, cute.
  102. 3:47Fun in the sun.
  103. 3:49I want to see big high ponytails,
  104. 3:52big beautiful smiles, and little itsy-bitsy '60s bikinis.
  105. 3:57This week, Maddie, you have another solo.
  106. 4:01Chloe, you'll also be doing a solo.
  107. 4:04My next soloist will be Nia.
  108. 4:08We also have a trio with Maddie, Chloe, and Paige.
  109. 4:16It would be nice if Nia could be considered for the trio.
  110. 4:19Here was a possible potential opportunity for Nia,
  111. 4:22and once again, she's overlooked.
  112. 4:23ABBY LEE: Yes?
  113. 4:25I'm just letting you know that I have to get my warts cut out
  114. 4:28of my feet tomorrow.
  115. 4:32They said she should be fine to dance in three days,
  116. 4:34so we'll be cutting it close.
  117. 4:36But I don't want to put her in a trio
  118. 4:39and then have her physically be in pain while she's learning
  119. 4:44it.
  120. 4:45We can't change the appointment.
  121. 4:47I've changed it like 15 times.
  122. 4:49She's having a hard time walking on it.
  123. 4:51You know what?
  124. 4:52I'm going to have to think about that.
  125. 4:54I might put someone else in the trio.
  126. 4:56Plantar warts are common to dancers,
  127. 4:59and when you have to have them removed,
  128. 5:02sometimes the kid's out of a dance for a week or two weeks.
  129. 5:05You need to get that fixed.
  130. 5:06That takes priority.
  131. 5:08So we need to start working on the script number right away.
  132. 5:11It's going to be a long week.
  133. 5:12Suck the yawns out.
  134. 5:13Quit yawning in my face.
  135. 5:14Spread apart.
  136. 5:15Get ready to work.
  137. 5:16Moms.
  138. 5:18[music playing]
  139. 5:20[cows mooing]
  140. 5:22I want resistance.
  141. 5:23I want the shoulders going down and I want the chin going up,
  142. 5:27OK?
  143. 5:27Press those shoulders down.
  144. 5:29OK, down.
  145. 5:30Lift your chin.
  146. 5:32Straight.
  147. 5:33All right, that was the best one yet.
  148. 5:36That was fabulous, Kendall.
  149. 5:38Abby's great at pointing out all of Kendall's faults.
  150. 5:41I don't know if she's so great at fixing them.
  151. 5:44With my tutelage and the Candy Apple name,
  152. 5:47Kendall is really going to blossom.
  153. 5:49I can't believe it, Cathy, after what, 15 minutes,
  154. 5:52you fixed three or four things like that?
  155. 5:56Here's the thing, Jill, we've got what it takes back here,
  156. 5:59the foundation.
  157. 6:00We've got the core, no pun intended.
  158. 6:03I'm just going to give you a little secret.
  159. 6:05Kendall is doing really well.
  160. 6:06I have big plans for her.
  161. 6:08Cathy says she has big plans for Kendall.
  162. 6:10I just hope that Cathy's big plans
  163. 6:12are in line with my big plans.
  164. 6:14[music playing]
  165. 6:22(SINGING) Come on.
  166. 6:24I want to take the girls back to an era of innocence,
  167. 6:28to Frankie and Annette and the beach blankets
  168. 6:32and the beach balls and the umbrellas.
  169. 6:34If you don't point that foot, I'm
  170. 6:36going to come out there and break it.
  171. 6:37Point your foot.
  172. 6:38We're going to Miami.
  173. 6:40And in South Florida, every kid dances,
  174. 6:44and every kid is amazing.
  175. 6:46Paige will be very upset if she doesn't get to do the trio.
  176. 6:49I agree.
  177. 6:51She'll go on there and dance, whether her foot hurts or not,
  178. 6:52just because she doesn't want to be replaced in the trio.
  179. 6:55Why are you doing the surgery now?
  180. 6:57You can't wait like a couple more weeks?
  181. 7:00She's having a hard time walking on it.
  182. 7:02Abby says the dancers dance through pain.
  183. 7:04That's fine if you're on Broadway,
  184. 7:06but my daughter is 11 years old, and if she can't dance,
  185. 7:10she's not dancing.
  186. 7:11Did she mention what the trio was going to be?
  187. 7:13No, and I thought she would have,
  188. 7:15because I was wondering if she had to switch it up who it
  189. 7:17might be, because I think Nia would have gladly stepped in.
  190. 7:20Oh, Nia was volunteering herself.
  191. 7:22I see that, yeah.
  192. 7:24I am continuously frustrated with Abby.
  193. 7:27Nia has so much to offer.
  194. 7:28She has great potential.
  195. 7:30And yet Abby only sees one aspect of Nia,
  196. 7:34and I'm beginning to believe she will never get a trio.
  197. 7:36I'm getting really sick and tired of it.
  198. 7:38Here's my kid giving 110%, and there is Abby. who can't even
  199. 7:43give her 50%.
  200. 7:44She can't even give her 50%.
  201. 7:45I think that you have valid points,
  202. 7:48and if you really feel that strongly,
  203. 7:50then maybe it's best that you tell Abby.
  204. 7:52Well, I just hope I can go downstairs and be calm.
  205. 7:55Because I'm usually very calm, but I'm usually not as ticked
  206. 7:57as I am tonight.
  207. 7:59Abby didn't give Nia the trio.
  208. 8:01Maybe enough is enough and I should speak up and just remind
  209. 8:06Abby that there is someone here.
  210. 8:07If Paige is not able to perform, Nia might be able to step in.
  211. 8:12OK.
  212. 8:13All right, Ms. Holly.
  213. 8:14Good luck.
  214. 8:16All right.
  215. 8:171, 2, 3, 4.
  216. 8:21Why are you interrupting my rehearsal?
  217. 8:22Can I see you for a second outside?
  218. 8:24Just for a moment.
  219. 8:24Just for a moment.
  220. 8:26Hold it.
  221. 8:26I am coming to your school.
  222. 8:28I am walking into your office and I'm going to interrupt you.
  223. 8:30It's ridiculous.
  224. 8:31Fine, you go ahead and do that.
  225. 8:32Parents do that all the time.
  226. 8:33I don't think there's anything more invasive than being
  227. 8:36interrupted.
  228. 8:37Holly is now a principal.
  229. 8:39She, of all the mothers, should understand.
  230. 8:42I would like for Nia to be considered for the trio.
  231. 8:45You said you would consider her.
  232. 8:48Yet you looked at her and you looked beyond her in pyramid
  233. 8:52and didn't even give her the courtesy of being considered.
  234. 8:54You are so far off my plans, you have no clue.
  235. 8:58I was already planning on Nia being the swing for Paige
  236. 9:02in the trio, but Holly can't even give me three seconds
  237. 9:04to let me tell her this.
  238. 9:06No.
  239. 9:07She has to come in, interrupt my rehearsal again.
  240. 9:10Paige might not be able to do it.
  241. 9:11Nia's in.
  242. 9:12Why didn't you just-- [interposing voices]
  243. 9:13Nia has a solo.
  244. 9:14Because you come and interrupt me.
  245. 9:16You don't need to do that.
  246. 9:17You don't know what my master plan is.
  247. 9:19[arguing]
  248. 9:20You would think she would have a little bit of respect.
  249. 9:23What I asked is that we're on the same page.
  250. 9:24That's all you have to say, is like, Holly,
  251. 9:26we're thinking the same thing.
  252. 9:27That's all you had to say.
  253. 9:29Yeah, but Holly, it's not about what you're thinking.
  254. 9:31I don't give a crap what you're thinking.
  255. 9:33You know what?
  256. 9:35It does matter what I'm thinking because I'm her mother.
  257. 9:36A mother looking out for her daughter
  258. 9:38trumps the word of a dance teacher, all of the time.
  259. 9:40Not inside this studio it doesn't, sweetheart.
  260. 9:42This is my domain.
  261. 9:44I'm the principal here.
  262. 9:45It's my office.
  263. 9:47What you fail to realize, Abby,
  264. 9:48is that you don't control me.
  265. 9:51I will not be bossed around in my own studio.
  266. 9:54I give Nia a solo and then I think about putting her
  267. 9:56in the trio, but that's just not good enough for Holly.
  268. 9:59Nothing's ever good enough.
  269. 10:00But you know what?
  270. 10:01Detention is good enough, and that's
  271. 10:03what her and Nia both need.
  272. 10:05Get the hell out.
  273. 10:06Go.
  274. 10:07[gasps]
  275. 10:08What did she say?
  276. 10:09She had a solo tonight and you just blew it.
  277. 10:12You're expelled.
  278. 10:13You're done.
  279. 10:14Holly didn't do me any favors.
  280. 10:16She ruined this entire evening's rehearsal.
  281. 10:19Nia didn't even get a chance to learn the trio.
  282. 10:21What has Holly accomplished?
  283. 10:22Nothing.
  284. 10:26There are no amount of solos, duos, trios which
  285. 10:29are worth this aggravation.
  286. 10:31Are you leaving?
  287. 10:32I am never setting foot in this studio again.
  288. 10:37[music playing]
  289. 10:47Let's go.
  290. 10:48Take the number from the top.
  291. 10:49All right.
  292. 10:50Wait a minute.
  293. 10:51Where's Nia?
  294. 10:52I don't know.
  295. 10:53I have no idea.
  296. 10:55I thought after last night's blowup
  297. 10:56that Holly would have time to come to her senses.
  298. 10:59She needs to have Nia at rehearsal today,
  299. 11:01but Nia is not here.
  300. 11:02Come on, Holly.
  301. 11:03Grow up.
  302. 11:04Girls, we have two days, two days,
  303. 11:08before you're in Miami against all those kids that dance
  304. 11:12at a studio and at school.
  305. 11:14And then there were two.
  306. 11:16I know.
  307. 11:16You know what, though?
  308. 11:17Nobody likes us.
  309. 11:18The two bitches are left.
  310. 11:19[laughs]
  311. 11:21I don't blame Holly and Nia for not being at rehearsal today.
  312. 11:23I wouldn't want to look at her, either, after she talked
  313. 11:25to me that way.
  314. 11:26I mean, Abby just pushes and pushes,
  315. 11:28and I hope she gets pushed too far this time.
  316. 11:30Smile, over the top.
  317. 11:34Watch the butt.
  318. 11:37Do you think Holly will come at all?
  319. 11:38I don't know.
  320. 11:39I texted her and I asked her how she was,
  321. 11:42and her response was, I'm not good.
  322. 11:45I can't imagine her not being her to Miami.
  323. 11:47I mean, she has a solo, too, you know what I mean?
  324. 11:49KELLY: Yeah, I know.
  325. 11:50If we lose Holly, it's going to be a devastating loss
  326. 11:52to our team.
  327. 11:53She's our center.
  328. 11:54She really is.
  329. 11:55She keeps us sane, believe it or not,
  330. 11:56if we were even to be called sane.
  331. 11:58I feel bad because we have to learn this dance.
  332. 12:02Then Nia will be behind.
  333. 12:06Hold 2, 3, 4.
  334. 12:08And exit.
  335. 12:09I think we're good.
  336. 12:10I think that's a wrap.
  337. 12:11I don't know where Nia is, but rehearsal's over.
  338. 12:13She missed it.
  339. 12:14Remember, everyone's replaceable.
  340. 12:17[music playing]
  341. 12:20Hi.
  342. 12:20Hi.
  343. 12:21We have an appointment for Paige.
  344. 12:23OK.
  345. 12:24If you could just sign in there.
  346. 12:26This week, Paige has to go to the doctors
  347. 12:27to have some plantar warts removed.
  348. 12:29But the problem is we have a competition this weekend,
  349. 12:33so Paige only has two days for her feet to heal.
  350. 12:37What's giving you trouble?
  351. 12:39I have three warts.
  352. 12:40Three warts.
  353. 12:41Do they hurt?
  354. 12:42Yeah.
  355. 12:43She's a dancer, so whenever she turns,
  356. 12:45the one on the ball of her foot really hurts.
  357. 12:48As a dancer and wanting to get back on your feet,
  358. 12:50if you would have an infection or slow healing,
  359. 12:53or even just the discomfort could keep her off a little bit
  360. 12:56longer.
  361. 12:57I can tell you you can dance, but your body may tell you
  362. 12:59something different.
  363. 13:00OK.
  364. 13:02These warts are bothering her feet just to walk around in.
  365. 13:04I have to get them done.
  366. 13:06I'm stepping up as a mom and health is coming before dance.
  367. 13:11OK, Paige, we're going to give each one of these a little zap
  368. 13:14there.
  369. 13:17Here's the first one.
  370. 13:19OK, Paige, squeeze my hand when it hurts.
  371. 13:24[zapping]
  372. 13:26You did great.
  373. 13:27It wasn't too bad, was it?
  374. 13:29We're going to put a Band-Aid on each one of those
  375. 13:30and then we'll give you some ice to put on there, OK?
  376. 13:32You did good, angel.
  377. 13:34I hope Paige can dance this week.
  378. 13:36I hope that we have no complications.
  379. 13:39ABBY LEE: Take it from the top.
  380. 13:41Push.
  381. 13:42Lead with that heel, Maddie.
  382. 13:44Maddie is doing a solo.
  383. 13:46It's called "All of My Life."
  384. 13:48This is a stellar routine for her.
  385. 13:50It has all the elements that she needs.
  386. 13:52She jumps.
  387. 13:53She turns.
  388. 13:54Her transitions are lovely.
  389. 13:56But all of your life has been dancing, right?
  390. 13:59A dream's coming true and setting new goals,
  391. 14:02and that's what you need to convey to the judges.
  392. 14:05All right, out you go.
  393. 14:06Send me Chloe.
  394. 14:07[music playing]
  395. 14:08All right, let's go from the top that far with the music.
  396. 14:105, 6, 7, 8.
  397. 14:14Look at me.
  398. 14:15When you turn around there, make sure
  399. 14:17you feel your shoulder blades popping open.
  400. 14:20This week my solo is called "Send Down Your Life,"
  401. 14:23and I'm excited to do another contemporary lyrical
  402. 14:25because last week I did a more dark piece.
  403. 14:28All right now, remember, you're going to get to Miami
  404. 14:31and your toughest competition flew on the plane with you
  405. 14:35from Pittsburgh.
  406. 14:37Yes.
  407. 14:39Be confident.
  408. 14:40Pretend you're going after 12 and 13-year-olds.
  409. 14:42Got it?
  410. 14:43All right.
  411. 14:44See ya.
  412. 14:47[music playing]
  413. 14:50Go in and get to class, OK?
  414. 14:52- Hey, Kendall. - Hi.
  415. 14:53The girls are waiting, so hurry up and get
  416. 14:55changed so we can start rehearsal.
  417. 14:56- Jill. - Hurry up.
  418. 14:57Jill. Jill.
  419. 14:58Come here. I'm like beaming.
  420. 14:59I'm so excited.
  421. 15:00I got Kendall a performance opportunity,
  422. 15:03or as they say in Hollywood, I got her a gig.
  423. 15:05You got her a gig.
  424. 15:06What?
  425. 15:07Yes, an opportunity to dance with the Harlem Globetrotters.
  426. 15:09You are kidding.
  427. 15:10No, isn't that fabulous?
  428. 15:11It is at halftime, OK, and she's going to be doing
  429. 15:15like a little solo out there.
  430. 15:17I think it's adorable.
  431. 15:18I think it's a perfect fit for Kendall
  432. 15:20to be dancing at the halftime show of the Harlem
  433. 15:24Globetrotters.
  434. 15:25Listen, we'll talk about it later, OK?
  435. 15:26That is great.
  436. 15:27All right, go get Kendall.
  437. 15:28All right.
  438. 15:28Thanks.
  439. 15:29[music playing]
  440. 15:35Now listen, you need to tell the story,
  441. 15:37but you need to dance, and it's not easy.
  442. 15:40We have an adorable trio, and it's called "Ladybugs."
  443. 15:44The number is perfectly suited for Maddie, Paige, and Chloe,
  444. 15:48but some of the steps in the number are very difficult.
  445. 15:52This is advanced choreography.
  446. 15:53I know your feet are hurting, but you need to cowboy up
  447. 15:57and you need to dance.
  448. 15:58I need to know if you can't do the steps because your feet are
  449. 16:01sore today.
  450. 16:03All right, let's do it.
  451. 16:06Yesterday, I had my plantar warts removed
  452. 16:09and my feet are really sore, so I'm trying my best.
  453. 16:13Come on, bigger, Paige.
  454. 16:14Back leg higher, Paige.
  455. 16:17You're falling off your center.
  456. 16:19Is the foot flexed or pointed, Paige?
  457. 16:23Really?
  458. 16:24Did the doctor say no dancing for--
  459. 16:25No.
  460. 16:26He said as long as she didn't have a blister,
  461. 16:28she could dance.
  462. 16:29The doctor said that unless Paige has any blistering,
  463. 16:32she can go ahead and dance.
  464. 16:33ABBY LEE: Does it hurt to point it?
  465. 16:36OK, because your foot is just like this.
  466. 16:38She doesn't want to be replaced in the trio again.
  467. 16:40Whoa.
  468. 16:44Paige, I know your feet hurt, but what
  469. 16:46happened to that whole section you forgot?
  470. 16:48If you go out there and dance like you were today,
  471. 16:50we don't have a shot at winning.
  472. 16:52I'm going to have to pull you from the number.
  473. 16:54Go, you're finished.
  474. 16:55Paige is really making me nervous.
  475. 16:57She is hopping all over the place.
  476. 16:59Her foot is really bothering her.
  477. 17:01I may have no other choice but to pull the trio
  478. 17:04from the competition.
  479. 17:12Have a seat over here.
  480. 17:15Hey.
  481. 17:16Hi.
  482. 17:17Holly blew up at me the other night
  483. 17:19because she wants Nia in a trio, but they have been absent
  484. 17:22from rehearsals for an entire day and a half.
  485. 17:25We're leaving for Miami tomorrow.
  486. 17:27She definitely wants to come back.
  487. 17:29Nia wants to be here.
  488. 17:31And I just don't want what happened to interfere
  489. 17:33with her dance progress, and whatever the issues
  490. 17:37we have each other.
  491. 17:38I would never let a kid's parent hold me back.
  492. 17:42Nia, you need to get into rehearsal.
  493. 17:43I just don't want you to let her miss rehearsals.
  494. 17:46She will be here.
  495. 17:47Nia makes her own opportunities.
  496. 17:51She has to earn it.
  497. 17:52I decided to come back to the studio to teach Nia
  498. 17:54how to take the high road, be a bigger person, and not run away
  499. 17:58from your problems.
  500. 18:00Hey, ladies.
  501. 18:01Hi.
  502. 18:02How's it going?
  503. 18:03So glad you're back.
  504. 18:06The hardest thing was walking through that door
  505. 18:08again because I certainly didn't want to do that.
  506. 18:09Nia really wanted to come and she was worried about the group
  507. 18:12dance.
  508. 18:13What a team player.
  509. 18:14HOLLY: She is. CHRISTI: I know.
  510. 18:15It's the first thing she asked about this morning before we
  511. 18:17went to school.
  512. 18:18Am I going to the dance [inaudible]??
  513. 18:19Are you kidding me?
  514. 18:20Ultimately, my daughter loves to dance.
  515. 18:22She has that passion.
  516. 18:23And if that means that I have to deal with that evil witch Abby,
  517. 18:27then I guess I'll just be the bigger person.
  518. 18:29Nia, don't make any mistakes, because you missed
  519. 18:32the whole first rehearsal when I had
  520. 18:33time to go through mistakes.
  521. 18:35[music playing]
  522. 18:42Oh, Nia, did you see that left foot?
  523. 18:49I'm a bit concerned going to Miami.
  524. 18:51I know there's going to be amazing dancers there.
  525. 18:53I mean, they are on their A-game all the time.
  526. 18:56Nia, that whole entire section is what we went over and over
  527. 19:01and over, and you missed it, and that's the part you missed.
  528. 19:03All right, girls, dismissed.
  529. 19:04It's over.
  530. 19:06Nia, maybe you can practice in Florida because you don't know
  531. 19:10that section.
  532. 19:12I know Nia wants to do a really good job,
  533. 19:15but I am worried that this week has been a little bit too
  534. 19:18much on her.
  535. 19:20ABBY LEE: Stretch the knees.
  536. 19:24Turn out.
  537. 19:27Nia is doing a jazz acrobatic routine.
  538. 19:29Nia didn't show up for rehearsal for a whole day and a half.
  539. 19:33Will she pull it off?
  540. 19:34I don't know.
  541. 19:35Forced arch.
  542. 19:37Come on, [french].
  543. 19:38I don't see those heels touching.
  544. 19:41Freeze.
  545. 19:42Squeeze those ankles together.
  546. 19:43Get up.
  547. 19:44Do it.
  548. 19:45Hold that.
  549. 19:46Hold that.
  550. 19:47Hold that.
  551. 19:48Squeeze that.
  552. 19:53She better go out and nail this after all the trouble
  553. 19:56her mother caused me during my rehearsals.
  554. 20:00[music playing]
  555. 20:10I am so excited to get out of the cold Pittsburgh winter.
  556. 20:13Miami, Florida, here we come.
  557. 20:16ABBY LEE: We're about to arrive at the airport,
  558. 20:17so I want you on your best behavior
  559. 20:19as you enter this airport and board the flight.
  560. 20:22The competition starts now.
  561. 20:28[music playing]
  562. 20:40I think it's good that the girls and I have some free time
  563. 20:43to ourselves to go to the ocean and just have some relaxation
  564. 20:47time.
  565. 20:48[interposing voices]
  566. 20:51Yay.
  567. 20:52We have no kids, no Abby.
  568. 20:56Now, who all watched the video "Beach Blanket Bingo?"
  569. 20:58You did?
  570. 20:59Good girl.
  571. 21:01One person?
  572. 21:03You didn't watch it?
  573. 21:04No?
  574. 21:0550 push-ups, 50 push-ups, 50 push-ups, 50 push-ups.
  575. 21:08I told your mothers to make sure you watch the movie.
  576. 21:14Come on.
  577. 21:15This really scares me.
  578. 21:17It scares me because these mothers are not backing up
  579. 21:21Abby Lee Miller.
  580. 21:22They are not backing up my lessons for the girls.
  581. 21:25Tell them about the movie.
  582. 21:26What other moves did they do?
  583. 21:29The pony, the swim, the jerk.
  584. 21:32Are the pony, the swim, and the jerk in your number?
  585. 21:35Yes.
  586. 21:36So let's see.
  587. 21:36Stand up.
  588. 21:39[laughs]
  589. 21:46Well, the girls have worked really hard
  590. 21:48and we only have a few hours to spend on the beach.
  591. 21:52Yup.
  592. 21:53Can you go in the water?
  593. 21:54Yeah.
  594. 21:55How about if I pick you up and throw you in the water?
  595. 21:59Can we go?
  596. 22:01Go, go, go, go, go.
  597. 22:02I don't know how cold it is, guys.
  598. 22:04[screams]
  599. 22:20Ow.
  600. 22:21Ow, my feet.
  601. 22:25[screams]
  602. 22:28Oh.
  603. 22:29[screams] Where's Mackenzie?
  604. 22:34Oh, jeez.
  605. 22:35You had to go and lose her.
  606. 22:37I could have gotten lost at sea.
  607. 22:39How's Paige?
  608. 22:40How's her feet?
  609. 22:41Yeah.
  610. 22:42Ugh.
  611. 22:43She has moments that they are bothering her.
  612. 22:46If you watch her watch, it's like she's
  613. 22:48on her tippy toe on one foot and on her heel on the other one.
  614. 22:51But I think Paige will be able to do it.
  615. 22:53I think Paige will be able to do it.
  616. 22:54[interposing voices]
  617. 22:55If by chance she wakes up and it's blistered or something,
  618. 22:57I'm not allowing her--
  619. 22:58Nia's going to sneak into the room tonight with a cigarette
  620. 23:00and go--
  621. 23:01[interposing voices]
  622. 23:01[laughs]
  623. 23:02I know Paige's feet are bothering her.
  624. 23:04I just hope that Paige would tell me if she couldn't dance.
  625. 23:08How do your feet feel?
  626. 23:10They're OK.
  627. 23:11They just hurt when I walk and I run.
  628. 23:13ABBY LEE: OK, well, don't walk and don't run.
  629. 23:16Holly, is Nia able to do it?
  630. 23:20You know, I'm a nervous Nellie.
  631. 23:21I always were.
  632. 23:22Like, can she pull it off?
  633. 23:23Nia has been running her solo every free chance that she
  634. 23:25gets, but she's only had one chance to run it with Abby,
  635. 23:29and I'm really concerned how well Nia's going to perform
  636. 23:32during this competition.
  637. 23:33It's not like she had a lot of time to learn it,
  638. 23:34so that's a lot of pressure.
  639. 23:36I think she's prepared to do it, but I think she's probably
  640. 23:38also nervous at the same time.
  641. 23:41[music playing]
  642. 23:43This is exciting.
  643. 23:45I'm excited.
  644. 23:46Kendall, she's going to dance at the halftime show of the Harlem
  645. 23:50Globetrotters.
  646. 23:52This is going to be like a cheerleader dance,
  647. 23:54and I think the crowd will really appreciate her for what
  648. 23:57she's going to bring to it.
  649. 24:01- Oh, OK. - Oh, she is?
  650. 24:02Let's go get you over to that corner.
  651. 24:04Thank you so much. - All right, listen, Kendall.
  652. 24:06Kendall.
  653. 24:06You can do this, OK? - OK.
  654. 24:07You're going to be spectacular for me.
  655. 24:09OK.
  656. 24:10This is great for us.
  657. 24:11Candy Apples and Kendall, we might
  658. 24:12have to take it on the road.
  659. 24:14All right, do good.
  660. 24:16This is the most people I've ever danced in front of before,
  661. 24:19and I'm feeling a lot of pressure,
  662. 24:20and I don't want to disappoint my mom or Cathy.
  663. 24:31[applause]
  664. 24:33ANNOUNCER: Please welcome Canton's very own Candy Apple's
  665. 24:35Kendall.
  666. 24:39I'm getting a little nervous.
  667. 24:40This is the biggest thing Kendall has ever done,
  668. 24:42and if she nails it, I am confident this will open
  669. 24:45many more doors for her.
  670. 24:48[music playing]
  671. 24:55I don't know about you, but I'm ready to have a good time
  672. 25:01and party all night.
  673. 25:03I don't know about you, but I'm ready to have a good time
  674. 25:09and party all night.
  675. 25:11Let's have a good time.
  676. 25:13Let's have a good time.
  677. 25:14Let's have a good time.
  678. 25:15Let's have-- and party all night.
  679. 25:18Let's have a good time.
  680. 25:20Let's have a good time.
  681. 25:21Good, good, good time and party all night.
  682. 25:34[applause]
  683. 25:43Whoo.
  684. 25:44[laughs]
  685. 25:48Get him right here.
  686. 25:51Come here.
  687. 25:52She came to dance, so she was going
  688. 25:54to go out there and dance.
  689. 25:55And I was really, really proud and really pleased for Kendall.
  690. 25:59She needed this.
  691. 26:01[music playing]
  692. 26:04This is like an arena, like a big stage.
  693. 26:06It's the morning of the competition,
  694. 26:07and I'm feeling excited, energized.
  695. 26:10It's at the Florida International University,
  696. 26:12a gorgeous campus.
  697. 26:14Remember, this is Miami.
  698. 26:16Even though these girls are on dance teams
  699. 26:18and they're here competing, they all go to dance class.
  700. 26:21You want them to go home saying, oh my goodness, you
  701. 26:24can't believe those girls from Pittsburgh.
  702. 26:26So in the green room, right before we're getting
  703. 26:28ready to dance, Paige is sitting there icing her feet,
  704. 26:30and I'm thinking, this doesn't look too good.
  705. 26:32You told me that you think you can do it.
  706. 26:35I'd rather pull the number now, when they take a break,
  707. 26:39than pull it right before it's ready to go
  708. 26:40and have you all upset and everybody upset.
  709. 26:42I think I can do it.
  710. 26:44Paige better not be lying to me,
  711. 26:46and this better not come back to bite me in the butt.
  712. 26:49They better get out there and be the divas
  713. 26:52that I trained them to be.
  714. 26:53[music playing]
  715. 26:59ANNOUNCER: Performing next we have Abby Lee Dance.
  716. 27:02[applause]

  723. 27:30'Cause love's [inaudible].
  724. 27:35The pink, the blue, and the purple
  725. 27:38were just striking on stage.
  726. 27:40It was different than anything anybody did.
  727. 27:43[music playing]
  728. 27:44[music playing] [inaudible]
  729. 27:48[cheering]
  730. 27:53I'm really proud of myself because I
  731. 27:55danced through the pain.
  732. 27:56[music playing]
  733. 27:57(SINGING) I raise my feet.
  734. 27:58I miss [inaudible].
  735. 28:00Get off my back.
  736. 28:02I make a sound.
  737. 28:03I walk down so I can walk right through that door.
  738. 28:08ANNOUNCER: Performing next we have the Abby Lee Dance

  747. 28:51I knew they were going to be fabulous because I could just
  748. 28:54tell in their attitude.
  749. 28:55The costumes are so adorable.
  750. 28:57They come strutting out, and I just love this dance.
  751. 29:00[music playing]
  752. 29:05(SINGING) Come on, let's have some fun.
  753. 29:08C-c-come on, let's have some fun.
  754. 29:11Come on, let's have some fun.
  755. 29:14I think that everybody doing something different
  756. 29:16in the choreography really worked in our favor.
  757. 29:18When the girls went back to the umbrella
  758. 29:20and Brooke did her roundoff back step out, the crowd went crazy.
  759. 29:25[music playing]
  760. 29:30[cheering]
  761. 29:33[music playing]
  762. 29:36Thank you so much for coming out.
  763. 29:39It was amazing.
  764. 29:41In fourth place, the ladies from Riveria [inaudible]..
  765. 29:45[cheering]
  766. 29:49This group was clearly the best.
  767. 29:51They were the most entertaining.
  768. 29:52They were having fun.
  769. 29:53The whole audience was into it.
  770. 29:55I would really be surprised if they didn't win first.
  771. 29:58ANNOUNCER: Moving on.
  772. 29:59Third place ensemble, "Beach Fun" from Abby Lee.
  773. 30:05[cheering]
  774. 30:13In second place, we have the trio from Abby Lee.
  775. 30:19ABBY LEE: Even though we did not win first place in the group
  776. 30:21category, I'm still very proud of the girls.
  777. 30:24Not only is the competition fierce in Miami,
  778. 30:27but they were competing against girls in high school,
  779. 30:30and they still placed in the top three.
  780. 30:32That's impressive.
  781. 30:33What did you girls think?
  782. 30:34I thought we did really good.
  783. 30:36Well, there was tough competition out there tonight.
  784. 30:38There was definitely tough competition,
  785. 30:39and congratulations to everybody.
  786. 30:42But before you went out there, remember, this is Miami.
  787. 30:45These girls are probably going to be amazing.
  788. 30:48You want to be more amazing.
  789. 30:49Understood?
  790. 30:50The group dance did not win first place,
  791. 30:53but I have solos that will shine.
  792. 30:56[music playing]
  793. 31:05I'm a little nervous this week for Maddie
  794. 31:07to do her solo, because it's on a gym floor
  795. 31:09and she slipped last time we were in a gym.
  796. 31:11So she's really, really nervous.
  797. 31:15ANNOUNCER: Maddie to the stage.
  798. 31:16[cheering]
  799. 31:21Go, baby.
  800. 31:22[music playing]
  801. 31:34(SINGING) It happens in movies.
  802. 31:39It happens in songs.
  803. 31:44I didn't believe it till you came along.
  804. 31:53There's so much to tell you.
  805. 31:58Where do I start?
  806. 32:03There's so many feelings here in my heart.
  807. 32:11All of my life, I want to feel the way I feel tonight.
  808. 32:19I think Maddie's solo this week is one of my favorites.
  809. 32:23The song is beautiful, and she really got into character,
  810. 32:26and it really touched my heart.
  811. 32:30[applause]
  812. 32:40This week I'm really excited for my solo.
  813. 32:42I think my costume is perfect for Miami, and I love it.
  814. 32:45And I hope this week I can really win first.
  815. 32:48ANNOUNCER: Next we have Chloe from Abby Lee.
  816. 32:51[cheering]
  817. 33:00[music playing]
  818. 33:16(SINGING) Is it any wonder to see me, see that I'm out
  819. 33:29there, a little girl reaching out.
  820. 33:35Oh, see there out there a little girl reaching out.
  821. 33:47Oh, oh, yeah.
  822. 33:56Yeah.
  823. 33:59Oh, oh, yeah.
  824. 34:09Yeah.
  825. 34:12Oh.
  826. 34:14Oh.
  827. 34:15[applause]
  828. 34:23ABBY LEE: Paige's solo was good.
  829. 34:25I saw a few things that she can improve upon.
  830. 34:27She did some new turns in her dance
  831. 34:29that I really don't feel she's ready to do yet.
  832. 34:31But otherwise, I thought she did a great job.
  833. 34:34ANNOUNCER: Nia [inaudible].
  834. 34:36Nia was really shaken up by the argument
  835. 34:38that I had with Abby, and I'm concerned that this fight is
  836. 34:42going to get her focus not on the dance but focusing
  837. 34:46on trying to please Abby and doing everything perfectly.
  838. 34:48[applause]
  839. 34:52[music playing]
  840. 34:56[singing in spanish]
  841. 35:10My worst fears are coming true and my heart begins to break,
  842. 35:15and I see my little girl freeze.
  843. 35:27[music playing]
  844. 35:30I'm watching Nia perform and I see my little girl freeze,
  845. 35:35and there's nothing more I can do than just be a supportive
  846. 35:37mom.
  847. 35:53ANNOUNCER: Nia.
  848. 35:57Let's hear it for Nia.
  849. 36:00[cheering]
  850. 36:04You know the dance.
  851. 36:09I forgot it, mom.
  852. 36:12OK, you know the dance.
  853. 36:14You know the dance in your body.
  854. 36:16We'll work on it.
  855. 36:17You will do it again.
  856. 36:18It's your turn to shine, OK?
  857. 36:21Stop psyching yourself out.
  858. 36:22You're an amazing, amazing dancer.
  859. 36:25There's nothing to be afraid of.
  860. 36:27We care that you can show people and you can dance.
  861. 36:31At this point, we have nothing to lose.
  862. 36:34Let me go to the competition director.
  863. 36:36I know it's very rare that they would ever
  864. 36:38let someone do a dance over.
  865. 36:41I want my child to at least be considered for a second chance.
  866. 36:44Hi, I wasn't sure who I should speak to.
  867. 36:46Nia would like to do her dance again, if it's at all possible.
  868. 36:49Take a deep breath before you go on.
  869. 36:51I'll find a spot.
  870. 36:52What I found was the competition director
  871. 36:54was amazing.
  872. 36:55She was very accommodating.
  873. 36:57Her heart bled for Nia and she allowed her to do this dance
  874. 37:00again, and I was thrilled.
  875. 37:09I knew when she got off the stage,
  876. 37:10she was going to be mortified, but most importantly, she
  877. 37:12wasn't be afraid of Abby's reaction.
  878. 37:21I heard you're going to dance again.
  879. 37:24You know when you dance again, you
  880. 37:26have to be 1,000 times better than the first time.
  881. 37:28For me, it's not just about this routine on this day.
  882. 37:32This is a life lesson that we all need to learn.
  883. 37:36I am preparing Nia for the future,
  884. 37:39and a future in this business is tough.
  885. 37:42You don't get a second chance.
  886. 37:45ANNOUNCER: And taking the stage for a second time, we have Nia.
  887. 37:49[applause]
  888. 37:50[music playing]
  889. 37:53(SINGING) Yeah, yeah.
  890. 37:56[singing in spanish]
  891. 37:59Hey.
  892. 38:01Baby, don't be shy.
  893. 38:03[singing in spanish]
  894. 38:37[applause]
  895. 38:43I'm happy for Nia.
  896. 38:44She had the courage to face the audience,
  897. 38:47and she performed with a smile, with energy.
  898. 38:52She proved herself that she could do it.
  899. 38:54[music playing]
  900. 39:00Moving on to elementary division,
  901. 39:04first through fifth grade.
  902. 39:06In third place, Nia from Abby Lee.
  903. 39:11[cheering]
  904. 39:15Even after the week that kid's had,
  905. 39:17Nia acted like a responsible dancer.
  906. 39:19If you fall off the bike, you need to get right back on it.
  907. 39:22Good for her.
  908. 39:24That was good, Holly.
  909. 39:25She'll be happy with that.
  910. 39:28I'm proud of myself and I'm glad I did it.
  911. 39:32ANNOUNCER: In second place, Chloe from Abby Lee.
  912. 39:35[cheering]
  913. 39:41And in first place, elementary, Maddie from Abby Lee.
  914. 39:46[cheering]
  915. 39:50I am so proud of my girls.
  916. 39:52All the solos placed--
  917. 39:53Maddie first, Chloe second, and even Nia placed third.
  918. 39:58I'm thrilled and I'm honored, and I'm glad we came to Miami
  919. 40:02and kick some tan butts.
  920. 40:03[cheering]
  921. 40:04Good job, girls.
  922. 40:06Good job.
  923. 40:08It was good.
  924. 40:10Nia came back.
  925. 40:11You placed.
  926. 40:12That was good.
  927. 40:13Think about what you can do better so that that
  928. 40:15never happens again, and maybe place higher.
  929. 40:17I thought you looked great.
  930. 40:19Let's go.
  931. 40:19Get packed up.
  932. 40:20Let's move.
  933. 40:21Good weekend in Miami.
  934. 40:23You guys seem tired.
  935. 40:24You're in Miami.
  936. 40:25This place, the clubs don't even open till midnight.
  937. 40:28Come on.
  938. 40:29We're going to B-E-D.

  942. 40:34Club Bed.
