  19. 0:40sexy yeah she setting us up for another
  20. 0:43Maddie Chloe Showdown Chloe is my
  21. 0:45biggest competitor I think I'm a little
  22. 0:47bit better than her because I've won
  23. 0:49many awards than her that was over the
  24. 0:52top inappropriate for little girls I
  25. 0:54love him very uncomfortable to see my
  26. 0:56little girl smacking box well then maybe
  27. 0:58you should not come when a parent opens
  28. 1:00their mouth they are ruining their child
  29. 1:06get up
  30. 1:23Phoenix was rough you guys got your
  31. 1:25butts kicked third place goes to Abby
  32. 1:28Lee Dance Company for party party party
  33. 1:31here in Pittsburgh you have won
  34. 1:33everything but it's clearly a different
  35. 1:35story when you get on a plane and fly
  36. 1:37across the country
  37. 1:39for years I took the kids by myself I
  38. 1:42made sure their hair was right I made
  39. 1:43sure the makeup was right I put the
  40. 1:45headpiece on all the mothers want to go
  41. 1:47now because they are reliving their
  42. 1:50childhood through all of you and that's
  43. 1:53when the trouble happens I am the leader
  44. 1:55I am the teacher you do what I say when
  45. 1:58your mother's telling you something else
  46. 2:00to do that becomes a conflict do you
  47. 2:02understand that now Nia how do you think
  48. 2:06you did
  49. 2:07well I think we could have improved what
  50. 2:10do you need to improve pointing might be
  51. 2:12yeah very sloppy the feet the legs the
  52. 2:16shoulders your arms
  53. 2:18same mistakes over and over and over and
  54. 2:22that pulls the group down
  55. 2:25yells at people a little bit too much
  56. 2:27but I think that's just because she
  57. 2:29wants them to be a better dancer and she
  58. 2:31really cares about us Chloe the headband
  59. 2:34was back
  60. 2:36[Applause]
  61. 2:39next time what are you gonna do make
  62. 2:42sure my head paste is on could you have
  63. 2:44prevented that
  64. 2:46Abby is very scary
  65. 2:48Abby's terrifying to me she has a deep
  66. 2:50voice but she will be very afraid of
  67. 2:53who's afraid of it you I don't know I'm
  68. 2:56a little afraid of it see okay the new
  69. 2:59number will be called electricity
  70. 3:01everybody say that
  71. 3:04the group number electricity is what I
  72. 3:06would refer to as West Coast jazz or La
  73. 3:09Jazz it's hot it's sassy it's what you
  74. 3:13would see in a music video so hopefully
  75. 3:15it's going to step these kids up to the
  76. 3:16next level and we're going to see
  77. 3:19something from them we've never seen

  95. 3:55Melissa does not like me because Chloe's
  96. 3:57Maddie's biggest competition she doesn't
  97. 3:58like that and to be honest I don't like
  98. 4:00Melissa I know her true colors all right
  99. 4:03everybody up I want to start this number
  100. 4:04moms you are dismissed thank you
  101. 4:07thank you
  102. 4:09down down switch split step hit ball
  103. 4:12change this weekend we're going to Star
  104. 4:15Quest competition in Lancaster
  105. 4:17Pennsylvania and the girls are doing all
  106. 4:19new numbers sassy that's not skipping
  107. 4:24here we are sitting here like a bunch of
  108. 4:27jackasses
  109. 4:30and Maddie and Chloe go back
  110. 4:32and for the best damn best dancer in the
  111. 4:33group and Michael this season really is
  112. 4:35for Chloe to be Maddie so if she wants
  113. 4:37to be the best she has to be the best
  114. 4:39and Maddie's the best listen to me
  115. 4:42I do feel like I push her but it's my
  116. 4:45job as Chloe's mother to motivate her
  117. 4:47because I feel Chloe has star potential
  118. 4:53be like Maddie be like Maddie who's at
  119. 4:56the bottom of the pyramid Nia's at the
  120. 4:58bottom of the pyramid and it's not right
  121. 4:59Brooks at him at the pyramid
  122. 5:05Mackenzie well okay but but Mia stepped
  123. 5:10up and it's like pop yeah throw it out
  124. 5:13there do it again everyone else there
  125. 5:14was something wrong with what they did
  126. 5:16but Maddie had nothing wrong she was
  127. 5:17perfect that makes my kid feel bad I
  128. 5:19guess she's setting us up for another
  129. 5:21Maddie Chloe Showdown it'll be the same
  130. 5:23old same old you know Abby will be
  131. 5:24working with Maddie right before she
  132. 5:26goes on stage and it'll be me in the
  133. 5:27back hallway with my daughter because
  134. 5:29that's how it always is all the focus is
  135. 5:31on Maddie and then there's nothing left
  136. 5:33for anybody else right
  137. 5:40I don't care what the other moms think
  138. 5:42because my kid is the star and maybe
  139. 5:44Maddie's the favorite because she's the
  140. 5:46best and she follows the rules and she
  141. 5:48pays attention my goal for Maddie this
  142. 5:50season is to win Dancer Of The Year
  143. 5:52nationally Maddie has what it takes to
  144. 5:54be a star she has Drive she has
  145. 5:56determination and she's definitely a
  146. 5:58perfectionist I think she's the best
  147. 6:00dancer in our studio I don't think the
  148. 6:03other moms are jealous of me they're
  149. 6:05jealous of my daughter because she gets
  150. 6:07all the attention and she's front and
  151. 6:09center in a lot of the dances one two
  152. 6:12and two push pretty my mom is a
  153. 6:15brilliant dance teacher and I am
  154. 6:18continuing that Legacy when I was a
  155. 6:20young dance student I realized that my
  156. 6:22talents were better used for
  157. 6:24choreography and behind the scenes than
  158. 6:27on stage performing so I started my own
  159. 6:30company at the age of 14.
  160. 6:32you have to be really hot sexy I don't
  161. 6:35like that move Brook's doing that's way
  162. 6:37too sexy make it like you're 17 years
  163. 6:39old
  164. 6:40we're going to Lancaster this weekend
  165. 6:42for a competition called Star Quest we
  166. 6:46don't usually do star quests because
  167. 6:48Lancaster is not like a West Coast town
  168. 6:50so I don't know quite how Lancaster is
  169. 6:54going to react to
  170. 6:55The Stance
  171. 6:57one two three four I created a new
  172. 7:01number after being on the west coast in
  173. 7:03Phoenix the kids are dressed so skimpy
  174. 7:06and we're so hot and dynamic on stage
  175. 7:09that I wanted to do something similar
  176. 7:11this is way too much I I don't know how
  177. 7:13they keep up with it five six seven
  178. 7:15eight you set the tone for the whole
  179. 7:17dance Chloe
  180. 7:18to be amazing I don't care what anybody
  181. 7:20says
  182. 7:21it's my studio it's my company the
  183. 7:25children need a challenge they need
  184. 7:27something edgy I don't have my own
  185. 7:28children
  186. 7:29but I teach children from three years
  187. 7:33old to 18. I practically raise these
  188. 7:35kids and then I send them off to be
  189. 7:37professional dancers
  190. 7:38there's a quote that I know that I often
  191. 7:41use and the best parenting
  192. 7:43that a parent can do is to raise their
  193. 7:46child to survive on their own
  194. 7:48and that's what I do I train a kid I
  195. 7:51give them every survival skill that they
  196. 7:54need to go out in the world and make it
  197. 7:55as a professional dancer and one two
  198. 7:58turn those hands in

  309. 12:50parallel parallel like a jazz class
  310. 12:53Posse
  311. 12:55straight honey I get these kids in here
  312. 12:56from other dance studios all the time
  313. 12:58and none of them have been taught proper
  314. 13:01terminology so instead of saying
  315. 13:03agrangate they're like flying saucerly
  316. 13:06and I'm like what is that
  317. 13:09that's such a joke that's where you want
  318. 13:11to be in the air that's what I want to
  319. 13:12see now get up and do it let's go Vivian
  320. 13:15needs a lot of work she really does but
  321. 13:17I'm gonna go ahead and let her compete
  322. 13:20this weekend because I think it would be
  323. 13:21good for her is that the new girl does
  324. 13:24she come from a competition Studio she
  325. 13:26said that she was on a competition team
  326. 13:28but it doesn't look like it huh I've
  327. 13:29been able to work with Vivian a little
  328. 13:31more closely this week so I'm going to
  329. 13:34let her do a little Jazz duet with
  330. 13:36MacKenzie
  331. 13:39my mother has money
  332. 13:44I have a group of moms at my studio that
  333. 13:48have caused many students to leave they
  334. 13:51sit upstairs in the observation
  335. 13:52mezzanine and degrade other people's
  336. 13:54children
  337. 13:55go get a job and come back and pick your

  391. 16:29don't bounce in that split
  392. 16:32please
  393. 16:37Chloe is my biggest competitor I think
  394. 16:40I'm a little bit better than her because
  395. 16:42I've I've won many awards than her
  396. 16:49my daughter's supposed to be doing her
  397. 16:50solo this weekend
  398. 16:52uh why isn't she working with my kid why
  399. 16:54is she in there doing this is this my
  400. 16:56last name isn't Ziggler
  401. 16:58Maddie's been in class this week working
  402. 17:00on her solo and you know it's perfected
  403. 17:03and it's wonderful and perfect and then
  404. 17:04she's going to send my daughter out on
  405. 17:06stage kind of looking like a fool
  406. 17:10thank you
  407. 17:11do this part wait are you missed sewing
  408. 17:14get down
  409. 17:16you have to do it
  410. 17:18I know
  411. 17:20I often wonder if Abby gave Chloe one
  412. 17:23twentieth of the same attention that she
  413. 17:25gave Maddie what kind of dancer my
  414. 17:26daughter could be the only one giving
  415. 17:27her attention really is me and I'm not a
  416. 17:29qualified dance teacher my hip really
  417. 17:32hurts
  418. 17:33we don't have a choice this is all we
  419. 17:35have and we have to do it so go it
  420. 17:38really upsets me it's not just me it's
  421. 17:39hurting it's hurting my child and I'm
  422. 17:41the one who keeps bringing my child back
  423. 17:43pretty smile
  424. 17:45I wonder what it's doing to her psyche
  425. 17:47to always be held down and not given the
  426. 17:50same opportunities to excel
  427. 17:52[Music]
  428. 17:55fake
  429. 17:58come on let's do it one more time with
  430. 18:01the music
  431. 18:03[Music]
  432. 18:08keep going posture there aren't you back
  433. 18:17give me a hands out hands out let him go
  434. 18:22yes so we're just adding two steps in I
  435. 18:25paid Abby with an exorbitant amount of
  436. 18:26money so maybe you'll get the same
  437. 18:28attention that she gives Maddie because
  438. 18:29Maddie gets all these extra classes all
  439. 18:31this extra attention and Chloe gets none
  440. 18:33of that they say oh no everything's Fair
  441. 18:35it's not fair but I'm not gonna have you
  442. 18:36treat me like this I'm an adult
  443. 18:39remember I pay your bills you work for
  444. 18:42me
  445. 18:45tomorrow is the competition and I have
  446. 18:48no doubt in my mind that we are going to
  447. 18:49blow this thing out of the water Chloe
  448. 18:52is one of my strongest dancers she's
  449. 18:54really coming along nicely there's a few
  450. 18:56technical issues she needs to work on
  451. 18:57but mainly applying Corrections she
  452. 19:00needs to apply Corrections quickly and
  453. 19:02then move on and one two
  454. 19:07[Music]
  455. 19:11is that an attitude turn
  456. 19:14you're out of the picture slowly getting

  537. 22:27[Music]
  538. 22:29I know I promised you and I'm so sorry
  539. 22:32I wanted to be a dancer when I was a kid
  540. 22:34I was never given that opportunity I had
  541. 22:37a really hard childhood and
  542. 22:42when I make decisions for my children I
  543. 22:44really just try to do it based on
  544. 22:47what I think is best for my kids and
  545. 22:51unfortunately nobody did that for me as
  546. 22:53a as a girl growing up and I really
  547. 22:55think it's important that I do it for my
  548. 22:57girls are you gonna be okay
  549. 23:02I was trying to stay strong for my mom
  550. 23:04because I didn't want to cry and then
  551. 23:06make her even more upset Chloe I don't
  552. 23:10know what all that's about
  553. 23:12and all that hugging and all that crying
  554. 23:14and all that carrying on is ridiculous

  567. 23:46know I should be at yet but I feel like

  575. 24:10dances as well the other girls competing

  631. 26:22routines as possible so it's a huge
  632. 26:24competition let's go this way and the
  633. 26:26girls will be judged on their
  634. 26:27performance their technique their
  635. 26:29costume their choreography
  636. 26:34really nervous that
  637. 26:36[Music]
  638. 26:38the iography I'm just I feel kind of
  639. 26:41pressured
  640. 26:43a lot of times I feel compared to Maddie
  641. 26:46but I think it's unfair because we're
  642. 26:49different people so we shouldn't be
  643. 26:50compared when I'm dancing it should be
  644. 26:53about me and then when Maddie's dancing
  645. 26:54it should be about Maddie

  663. 28:21I thought it was good and Maddie we want
  664. 28:23to get her ready
  665. 28:25all right I sometimes get scared of the
  666. 28:28person before me when I'm dancing at a
  667. 28:30competition because I'm not sure if
  668. 28:32they're good or not and I kind of
  669. 28:35I don't know I just kind of get really
  670. 28:37nervous
  671. 28:38[Music]
  672. 28:48come on
  673. 28:50[Applause]
  674. 28:56[Music]
  675. 29:06well I I guess it's been a while
  676. 29:10since I've seen the sunshine
  677. 29:13since I have smiled
  678. 29:16and me who so well versed is I'll ask
  679. 29:21for words
  680. 29:23and die
  681. 29:30I wanna do anything but cry
  682. 29:34I'm so proud of Maddie I can't help but
  683. 29:37cry she's like a little angel
  684. 29:39[Music]
  685. 29:53even my soul has left my body
  686. 30:00[Music]
  687. 30:05foreign
  688. 30:12[Applause]
  689. 30:17if I had to evaluate Chloe and Maddie's
  690. 30:20performance it was not connect they both
  691. 30:23did an outstanding job today they came
  692. 30:26ready to perform and ready to compete
  693. 30:28and that's what they did
  694. 30:31[Applause]
  695. 30:32[Music]
  696. 30:37no matter how successful Chloe is she's
  697. 30:40never successful enough in Abby's eyes
  698. 30:42if Chloe doesn't Prevail or win a
  699. 30:45category or doesn't dance as well as
  700. 30:47another child Maddie you know and she
  701. 30:50she throws that in Chloe's face all the
  702. 30:51time and it's not fair
  703. 30:52[Music]
  704. 30:54[Applause]
  705. 31:00so he is definitely in competition for
  706. 31:03the best dancer in the group and Maddie
  707. 31:04and Chloe go back and forth on any given
  708. 31:06day could be either one of them
  709. 31:09and your first place is
  710. 31:16[Music]
  711. 31:20[Applause]
  712. 31:31of course that it came out on top I
  713. 31:33expect nothing less it takes time and
  714. 31:36energy and perseverance and the kid has
  715. 31:39it
  716. 31:45yes now everybody we need to go get it
  717. 31:48together for the group number before you
  718. 31:50go backstage my biggest fear today with
  719. 31:52Vivi going on stage shortly is that
  720. 31:55she's going to forget the dance all
  721. 31:56right what am I doing here
  722. 31:58pumpkin I'm nervous for Vivi but she's
  723. 32:02like her mother she's gorgeous she's
  724. 32:04talented she's a hard worker and she
  725. 32:07will persevere oh baby come on it's okay
  726. 32:10I have to go to a lot of places for
  727. 32:13competition and sometimes I wish I could
  728. 32:16just stay home
  729. 32:18foreign
  730. 32:20[Music]
  731. 32:26what the heck is going on
  732. 32:29one day everything is cool
  733. 32:32next day we can't get along
  734. 32:35[Music]
  735. 32:48again
  736. 32:50I was a little concerned when we came
  737. 32:52into this that perhaps Mackenzie the
  738. 32:54little duet partner was going to be Head
  739. 32:56and Shoulders above Vivi and I don't
  740. 32:58think she is well I'm really proud that
  741. 33:00you remembered it yes I think we have a
  742. 33:02long way to go I'm so glad I watched it
  743. 33:04you know what I need to get going for
  744. 33:06the other girls so let's get back to the
  745. 33:08dressing real quick let's go tell your
  746. 33:09sister how you did and get them ready
  747. 33:10okay
  748. 33:11[Music]
  749. 33:14[Applause]
  750. 33:15[Music]
  751. 33:18[Applause]

  753. 33:26[Applause]
  754. 33:28foreign
  755. 33:29[Music]
  756. 33:36this week the group is in the 9 to 12
  757. 33:38age category a costume is completely
  758. 33:40agent appropriate that gestures and the
  759. 33:42movement in the dance is unacceptable
  760. 33:44okay I'm trying to be supportive of my
  761. 33:48child I want her to do well I want her
  762. 33:50to perform to the best of her ability on
  763. 33:52stage so I'm conflicted girls if you're
  764. 33:54wearing two-piece costumes either sit
  765. 33:56down and do 100 sit-ups or paint the ABS
  766. 33:58on one or the other let's go this week
  767. 34:00the girls really need to bring it they
  768. 34:02need to hit every turn they need to look
  769. 34:04older they need to look sophisticated
  770. 34:06and they need to make it all look easy I
  771. 34:09think the whole makeup the costumes and
  772. 34:12the package of the presentation will
  773. 34:15definitely lend itself to being
  774. 34:16disqualified because there's always a
  775. 34:17clause about the appropriateness of the
  776. 34:19material matching the age group six

  785. 34:35don't get they're doing what they're

  851. 38:26danced all the dancers on stage today I
  852. 38:29think they danced really well maybe it
  853. 38:30was a little bit appropriate
  854. 38:34words right out of my mouth
  855. 38:38for us we don't come in here as the Abby
  856. 38:40Lee Dance Company and not place in the
  857. 38:42top five I think the judges were really
  858. 38:44setting a statement and you know it
  859. 38:45doesn't feel good to get our butts kept
  860. 38:47what do you think the sabbies
  861. 38:52Abby's going to get the score sheets
  862. 38:54back from this competition we're gonna
  863. 38:55know what the judge's thoughts were and
  864. 38:56I guarantee you the judges are thinking
  865. 38:58inappropriate it's not nice
  866. 39:01you're not used to that and you know
  867. 39:03what maybe those judges didn't like you
  868. 39:05you know I don't know maybe I didn't
  869. 39:08like what they had on today I don't know

  878. 39:28and I know I respect your creativity and
  879. 39:31your talent so that was over the top
  880. 39:33inappropriate for little girls I think
  881. 39:35you and I both know that left being very
  882. 39:38uncomfortable to see my little girl on
  883. 39:40stage gyrating smacking spots in front
