- 0:19these moms are ridiculous they are in a
- 0:22bar drinking and their kid needs to be
- 0:24on stage in five minutes you're in the
- 0:26bar having a drink and her headpiece is
- 0:27falling off Abby mistakes happen we're
- 0:29human you are mistakes like that don't
- 0:31happen to me I'm done
- 0:33Phoenix was rough you guys got your
- 0:35butts kicked the new number will be hot
- 0:37it's gonna be sizzling that's way too
- 0:40sexy yeah she setting us up for another
- 0:43Maddie Chloe Showdown Chloe is my
- 0:45biggest competitor I think I'm a little
- 0:47bit better than her because I've won
- 0:49many awards than her that was over the
- 0:52top inappropriate for little girls I
- 0:54love him very uncomfortable to see my
- 0:56little girl smacking box well then maybe
- 0:58you should not come when a parent opens
- 1:00their mouth they are ruining their child
- 1:06get up
- 1:23Phoenix was rough you guys got your
- 1:25butts kicked third place goes to Abby
- 1:28Lee Dance Company for party party party
- 1:31here in Pittsburgh you have won
- 1:33everything but it's clearly a different
- 1:35story when you get on a plane and fly
- 1:37across the country
- 1:39for years I took the kids by myself I
- 1:42made sure their hair was right I made
- 1:43sure the makeup was right I put the
- 1:45headpiece on all the mothers want to go
- 1:47now because they are reliving their
- 1:50childhood through all of you and that's
- 1:53when the trouble happens I am the leader
- 1:55I am the teacher you do what I say when
- 1:58your mother's telling you something else
- 2:00to do that becomes a conflict do you
- 2:02understand that now Nia how do you think
- 2:06you did
- 2:07well I think we could have improved what
- 2:10do you need to improve pointing might be
- 2:12yeah very sloppy the feet the legs the
- 2:16shoulders your arms
- 2:18same mistakes over and over and over and
- 2:22that pulls the group down
- 2:25yells at people a little bit too much
- 2:27but I think that's just because she
- 2:29wants them to be a better dancer and she
- 2:31really cares about us Chloe the headband
- 2:34was back
- 2:36[Applause]
- 2:39next time what are you gonna do make
- 2:42sure my head paste is on could you have
- 2:44prevented that
- 2:46Abby is very scary
- 2:48Abby's terrifying to me she has a deep
- 2:50voice but she will be very afraid of
- 2:53who's afraid of it you I don't know I'm
- 2:56a little afraid of it see okay the new
- 2:59number will be called electricity
- 3:01everybody say that
- 3:04the group number electricity is what I
- 3:06would refer to as West Coast jazz or La
- 3:09Jazz it's hot it's sassy it's what you
- 3:13would see in a music video so hopefully
- 3:15it's going to step these kids up to the
- 3:16next level and we're going to see
- 3:19something from them we've never seen
- 3:20before Maddie
- 3:22because you were great this weekend
- 3:26[Applause]
- 3:28[Music]
- 3:30you didn't give me any trouble your
- 3:31mother didn't give me any trouble you're
- 3:33gonna be in the front in the center for
- 3:36the beginning of the routine
- 3:38I'm not trying to be rude but I'm
- 3:40probably one of the best dancers in my
- 3:42group everybody's goal should be right
- 3:44here
- 3:45yes
- 3:46yes okay two solos will be competing
- 3:49Maddie you will be doing one of your
- 3:51solos and Chloe you will be doing one of
- 3:53your solos
- 3:55Melissa does not like me because Chloe's
- 3:57Maddie's biggest competition she doesn't
- 3:58like that and to be honest I don't like
- 4:00Melissa I know her true colors all right
- 4:03everybody up I want to start this number
- 4:04moms you are dismissed thank you
- 4:07thank you
- 4:09down down switch split step hit ball
- 4:12change this weekend we're going to Star
- 4:15Quest competition in Lancaster
- 4:17Pennsylvania and the girls are doing all
- 4:19new numbers sassy that's not skipping
- 4:24here we are sitting here like a bunch of
- 4:27jackasses
- 4:30and Maddie and Chloe go back
- 4:32and for the best damn best dancer in the
- 4:33group and Michael this season really is
- 4:35for Chloe to be Maddie so if she wants
- 4:37to be the best she has to be the best
- 4:39and Maddie's the best listen to me
- 4:42I do feel like I push her but it's my
- 4:45job as Chloe's mother to motivate her
- 4:47because I feel Chloe has star potential
- 4:53be like Maddie be like Maddie who's at
- 4:56the bottom of the pyramid Nia's at the
- 4:58bottom of the pyramid and it's not right
- 4:59Brooks at him at the pyramid
- 5:05Mackenzie well okay but but Mia stepped
- 5:10up and it's like pop yeah throw it out
- 5:13there do it again everyone else there
- 5:14was something wrong with what they did
- 5:16but Maddie had nothing wrong she was
- 5:17perfect that makes my kid feel bad I
- 5:19guess she's setting us up for another
- 5:21Maddie Chloe Showdown it'll be the same
- 5:23old same old you know Abby will be
- 5:24working with Maddie right before she
- 5:26goes on stage and it'll be me in the
- 5:27back hallway with my daughter because
- 5:29that's how it always is all the focus is
- 5:31on Maddie and then there's nothing left
- 5:33for anybody else right
- 5:40I don't care what the other moms think
- 5:42because my kid is the star and maybe
- 5:44Maddie's the favorite because she's the
- 5:46best and she follows the rules and she
- 5:48pays attention my goal for Maddie this
- 5:50season is to win Dancer Of The Year
- 5:52nationally Maddie has what it takes to
- 5:54be a star she has Drive she has
- 5:56determination and she's definitely a
- 5:58perfectionist I think she's the best
- 6:00dancer in our studio I don't think the
- 6:03other moms are jealous of me they're
- 6:05jealous of my daughter because she gets
- 6:07all the attention and she's front and
- 6:09center in a lot of the dances one two
- 6:12and two push pretty my mom is a
- 6:15brilliant dance teacher and I am
- 6:18continuing that Legacy when I was a
- 6:20young dance student I realized that my
- 6:22talents were better used for
- 6:24choreography and behind the scenes than
- 6:27on stage performing so I started my own
- 6:30company at the age of 14.
- 6:32you have to be really hot sexy I don't
- 6:35like that move Brook's doing that's way
- 6:37too sexy make it like you're 17 years
- 6:39old
- 6:40we're going to Lancaster this weekend
- 6:42for a competition called Star Quest we
- 6:46don't usually do star quests because
- 6:48Lancaster is not like a West Coast town
- 6:50so I don't know quite how Lancaster is
- 6:54going to react to
- 6:55The Stance
- 6:57one two three four I created a new
- 7:01number after being on the west coast in
- 7:03Phoenix the kids are dressed so skimpy
- 7:06and we're so hot and dynamic on stage
- 7:09that I wanted to do something similar
- 7:11this is way too much I I don't know how
- 7:13they keep up with it five six seven
- 7:15eight you set the tone for the whole
- 7:17dance Chloe
- 7:18to be amazing I don't care what anybody
- 7:20says
- 7:21it's my studio it's my company the
- 7:25children need a challenge they need
- 7:27something edgy I don't have my own
- 7:28children
- 7:29but I teach children from three years
- 7:33old to 18. I practically raise these
- 7:35kids and then I send them off to be
- 7:37professional dancers
- 7:38there's a quote that I know that I often
- 7:41use and the best parenting
- 7:43that a parent can do is to raise their
- 7:46child to survive on their own
- 7:48and that's what I do I train a kid I
- 7:51give them every survival skill that they
- 7:54need to go out in the world and make it
- 7:55as a professional dancer and one two
- 7:58turn those hands in
- 8:01right more Bots it's all about the bot
- 8:07[Music]

- 12:53Posse
- 12:55straight honey I get these kids in here
- 12:56from other dance studios all the time
- 12:58and none of them have been taught proper
- 13:01terminology so instead of saying
- 13:03agrangate they're like flying saucerly
- 13:06and I'm like what is that
- 13:09that's such a joke that's where you want
- 13:11to be in the air that's what I want to
- 13:12see now get up and do it let's go Vivian
- 13:15needs a lot of work she really does but
- 13:17I'm gonna go ahead and let her compete
- 13:20this weekend because I think it would be
- 13:21good for her is that the new girl does
- 13:24she come from a competition Studio she
- 13:26said that she was on a competition team
- 13:28but it doesn't look like it huh I've
- 13:29been able to work with Vivian a little
- 13:31more closely this week so I'm going to
- 13:34let her do a little Jazz duet with
- 13:36MacKenzie
- 13:39my mother has money
- 13:44I have a group of moms at my studio that
- 13:48have caused many students to leave they
- 13:51sit upstairs in the observation
- 13:52mezzanine and degrade other people's
- 13:54children
- 13:55go get a job and come back and pick your
- 13:58kid up at the end of the night
- 14:01all of her
- 14:04[Music]
- 14:16for StarQuest Abby has Vivi and
- 14:19Mackenzie on the duet I'm very surprised
- 14:21that Abby is letting Vivian on the
- 14:23competition team for this weekend oh she
- 14:26just stepped on my daughter
- 14:30other fun now you go
- 14:33boom to the right what's the mom like
- 14:36she's very nice very nice I'm just
- 14:39getting kind of pissed that she's
- 14:41allowed in there but she's allowed
- 14:43because she's a dance teacher and one of
- 14:45Abby's colleagues okay I think I've done
- 14:48enough with the routine right now I'm
- 14:50gonna see what they can do together so
- 14:52I'm gonna send you upstairs okay okay

- 15:19learn we have a seamstress at our studio
- 15:21that does all this the moms don't do any
- 15:23of it we're way more organized than you
- 15:25guys are
- 15:27all right I found it weird that she owns
- 15:31a dance studio and she's bringing her
- 15:33daughter two hours away to a different
- 15:35dance studio I mean I would think that
- 15:37you would make your dance studio be good
- 15:39enough for your own child why don't you
- 15:42um
- 15:45go back to my studio I don't care what
- 15:48these moms think of me all I care is
- 15:50that I get Vivi where she needs to be
- 15:52and that is to the top and do you guys
- 15:54use Swarovski Crystals yeah yeah so do
- 15:56we
- 15:58watch that land in that heel on that jet
- 16:01tank
- 16:03smile this week Chloe and Maddie both
- 16:05have new Solos Maddie will be doing an
- 16:08emotional lyrical routine to cry and
- 16:11Chloe will be doing a musical theater
- 16:12number to Baby Mine again you're not
- 16:21four o'clock to 10 o'clock
- 16:25and we don't get home until like 11 45.
- 16:29don't bounce in that split
- 16:32please
- 16:37Chloe is my biggest competitor I think
- 16:40I'm a little bit better than her because
- 16:42I've I've won many awards than her
- 16:49my daughter's supposed to be doing her
- 16:50solo this weekend
- 16:52uh why isn't she working with my kid why
- 16:54is she in there doing this is this my
- 16:56last name isn't Ziggler
- 16:58Maddie's been in class this week working
- 17:00on her solo and you know it's perfected
- 17:03and it's wonderful and perfect and then
- 17:04she's going to send my daughter out on
- 17:06stage kind of looking like a fool
- 17:10thank you
- 17:11do this part wait are you missed sewing
- 17:14get down
- 17:16you have to do it
- 17:18I know
- 17:20I often wonder if Abby gave Chloe one
- 17:23twentieth of the same attention that she
- 17:25gave Maddie what kind of dancer my
- 17:26daughter could be the only one giving
- 17:27her attention really is me and I'm not a
- 17:29qualified dance teacher my hip really
- 17:32hurts
- 17:33we don't have a choice this is all we
- 17:35have and we have to do it so go it
- 17:38really upsets me it's not just me it's
- 17:39hurting it's hurting my child and I'm
- 17:41the one who keeps bringing my child back
- 17:43pretty smile
- 17:45I wonder what it's doing to her psyche
- 17:47to always be held down and not given the
- 17:50same opportunities to excel
- 17:52[Music]
- 17:55fake
- 17:58come on let's do it one more time with
- 18:01the music
- 18:03[Music]
- 18:08keep going posture there aren't you back
- 18:17give me a hands out hands out let him go
- 18:22yes so we're just adding two steps in I
- 18:25paid Abby with an exorbitant amount of
- 18:26money so maybe you'll get the same
- 18:28attention that she gives Maddie because
- 18:29Maddie gets all these extra classes all
- 18:31this extra attention and Chloe gets none
- 18:33of that they say oh no everything's Fair
- 18:35it's not fair but I'm not gonna have you
- 18:36treat me like this I'm an adult
- 18:39remember I pay your bills you work for
- 18:42me
- 18:45tomorrow is the competition and I have
- 18:48no doubt in my mind that we are going to
- 18:49blow this thing out of the water Chloe
- 18:52is one of my strongest dancers she's
- 18:54really coming along nicely there's a few
- 18:56technical issues she needs to work on
- 18:57but mainly applying Corrections she
- 19:00needs to apply Corrections quickly and
- 19:02then move on and one two

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

- 26:24competition let's go this way and the
- 26:26girls will be judged on their
- 26:27performance their technique their
- 26:29costume their choreography
- 26:34really nervous that
- 26:36[Music]
- 26:38the iography I'm just I feel kind of
- 26:41pressured
- 26:43a lot of times I feel compared to Maddie
- 26:46but I think it's unfair because we're
- 26:49different people so we shouldn't be
- 26:50compared when I'm dancing it should be
- 26:53about me and then when Maddie's dancing
- 26:54it should be about Maddie
- 26:57thank you
- 26:58[Music]
- 27:01and next up recipe number 107.5 Chloe
- 27:04Lukasiak
- 27:05[Music]

- 27:11[Music]
- 27:15[Applause]
- 27:24[Music]
- 27:28when it comes
- 27:30[Music]
- 27:45my baby
- 27:50[Music]
- 28:00[Applause]
- 28:14thank you watch your feet on the end
- 28:17when we worked on that to the floor the
- 28:19new part when you walk out yes otherwise
- 28:21I thought it was good and Maddie we want
- 28:23to get her ready
- 28:25all right I sometimes get scared of the
- 28:28person before me when I'm dancing at a
- 28:30competition because I'm not sure if
- 28:32they're good or not and I kind of
- 28:35I don't know I just kind of get really
- 28:37nervous
- 28:38[Music]
- 28:48come on
- 28:50[Applause]
- 28:56[Music]
- 29:06well I I guess it's been a while
- 29:10since I've seen the sunshine
- 29:13since I have smiled
- 29:16and me who so well versed is I'll ask
- 29:21for words
- 29:23and die
- 29:30I wanna do anything but cry
- 29:34I'm so proud of Maddie I can't help but
- 29:37cry she's like a little angel
- 29:39[Music]
- 29:53even my soul has left my body
- 30:00[Music]
- 30:05foreign
- 30:12[Applause]
- 30:17if I had to evaluate Chloe and Maddie's
- 30:20performance it was not connect they both
- 30:23did an outstanding job today they came
- 30:26ready to perform and ready to compete
- 30:28and that's what they did
- 30:31[Applause]
- 30:32[Music]
- 30:37no matter how successful Chloe is she's
- 30:40never successful enough in Abby's eyes
- 30:42if Chloe doesn't Prevail or win a
- 30:45category or doesn't dance as well as
- 30:47another child Maddie you know and she
- 30:50she throws that in Chloe's face all the
- 30:51time and it's not fair
- 30:52[Music]
- 30:54[Applause]
- 31:00so he is definitely in competition for
- 31:03the best dancer in the group and Maddie
- 31:04and Chloe go back and forth on any given
- 31:06day could be either one of them
- 31:09and your first place is
- 31:16[Music]
- 31:20[Applause]
- 31:31of course that it came out on top I
- 31:33expect nothing less it takes time and
- 31:36energy and perseverance and the kid has
- 31:39it
- 31:45yes now everybody we need to go get it
- 31:48together for the group number before you
- 31:50go backstage my biggest fear today with
- 31:52Vivi going on stage shortly is that
- 31:55she's going to forget the dance all
- 31:56right what am I doing here
- 31:58pumpkin I'm nervous for Vivi but she's
- 32:02like her mother she's gorgeous she's
- 32:04talented she's a hard worker and she
- 32:07will persevere oh baby come on it's okay
- 32:10I have to go to a lot of places for
- 32:13competition and sometimes I wish I could
- 32:16just stay home
- 32:18foreign
- 32:20[Music]
- 32:26what the heck is going on
- 32:29one day everything is cool
- 32:32next day we can't get along
- 32:35[Music]
- 32:48again
- 32:50I was a little concerned when we came
- 32:52into this that perhaps Mackenzie the
- 32:54little duet partner was going to be Head
- 32:56and Shoulders above Vivi and I don't
- 32:58think she is well I'm really proud that
- 33:00you remembered it yes I think we have a
- 33:02long way to go I'm so glad I watched it
- 33:04you know what I need to get going for
- 33:06the other girls so let's get back to the
- 33:08dressing real quick let's go tell your
- 33:09sister how you did and get them ready
- 33:10okay
- 33:11[Music]
- 33:14[Applause]
- 33:15[Music]
- 33:18[Applause]
- 33:20[Music]
- 33:26[Applause]
- 33:28foreign
- 33:29[Music]
- 33:36this week the group is in the 9 to 12
- 33:38age category a costume is completely
- 33:40agent appropriate that gestures and the
- 33:42movement in the dance is unacceptable
- 33:44okay I'm trying to be supportive of my
- 33:48child I want her to do well I want her
- 33:50to perform to the best of her ability on
- 33:52stage so I'm conflicted girls if you're
- 33:54wearing two-piece costumes either sit
- 33:56down and do 100 sit-ups or paint the ABS
- 33:58on one or the other let's go this week
- 34:00the girls really need to bring it they
- 34:02need to hit every turn they need to look
- 34:04older they need to look sophisticated
- 34:06and they need to make it all look easy I
- 34:09think the whole makeup the costumes and
- 34:12the package of the presentation will
- 34:15definitely lend itself to being
- 34:16disqualified because there's always a
- 34:17clause about the appropriateness of the
- 34:19material matching the age group six
- 34:21seven eight and one I hope I'm wrong I
- 34:23hope Abby knows what she's doing I hope
- 34:25the girls come out successful I don't
- 34:26want to be the one making them feel bad
- 34:28I want them you know to go out and be
- 34:30confident but I'm just wondering what
- 34:31mixed messages we're sending to a bunch
- 34:33of little girls I mean they really just
- 34:35don't get they're doing what they're
- 34:37told to do but then you stand there as
- 34:40an adult and you watch every man in the
- 34:42lobby go like rubber next to those girls
- 34:45walking by
- 34:46[Music]
- 34:53last week at the West Coast we're doing
- 34:55a little doll dance and a sweet little
- 34:56dress you know Abby Sees was out there
- 34:58and all of a sudden we're dressed like
- 34:59Street Walkers and we're here in
- 35:02Lancaster home of the Amish in in these
- 35:05horrifying outfits it's just so
- 35:07inappropriate it's unreal timing timing
- 35:10timing timing all right stretch the foot
- 35:12on the turns all right let's go do not
- 35:15today is the competition we're here in
- 35:17Lancaster Pennsylvania at StarQuest and

- 38:23our kids were robbed definitely we out
- 38:26danced all the dancers on stage today I
- 38:29think they danced really well maybe it
- 38:30was a little bit appropriate
- 38:34words right out of my mouth
- 38:38for us we don't come in here as the Abby
- 38:40Lee Dance Company and not place in the
- 38:42top five I think the judges were really
- 38:44setting a statement and you know it
- 38:45doesn't feel good to get our butts kept
- 38:47what do you think the sabbies
- 38:52Abby's going to get the score sheets
- 38:54back from this competition we're gonna
- 38:55know what the judge's thoughts were and
- 38:56I guarantee you the judges are thinking
- 38:58inappropriate it's not nice
- 39:01you're not used to that and you know
- 39:03what maybe those judges didn't like you
- 39:05you know I don't know maybe I didn't
- 39:08like what they had on today I don't know
- 39:09I thought they looked fabulous I thought
- 39:12it was a hot number I thought it was
- 39:13exciting I thought it was 2011. I
- 39:16thought they did a great job thank you
- 39:18very much go ahead and head upstairs try
- 39:20to get some pictures can we really eat
- 39:22Abby I really need to see you right now
- 39:23please I think I need to talk to him
- 39:28and I know I respect your creativity and
- 39:31your talent so that was over the top
- 39:33inappropriate for little girls I think
- 39:35you and I both know that left being very
- 39:38uncomfortable to see my little girl on
- 39:40stage gyrating smacking spots in front
- 39:43of everybody when when they went down
- 39:45and opened their legs I almost walked
- 39:46around I mean that's
- 39:48I
- 39:49and you know what's so weird is your
- 39:51child loved it and wanted to do it yeah
- 39:54I know but
- 40:00I am the coach I am their teacher I make
- 40:03creative decisions and I have to stand
- 40:05by them if you don't like it get up and
- 40:08walk out of the auditorium she is a
- 40:09child she is nine years old
- 40:12excuse me go ask your nine-year-old if
- 40:15she likes what she's wearing it doesn't
- 40:17matter what our kids think that's not
- 40:19their decision it's our responsibility
- 40:21people are looking at us they're judging
- 40:24us like who knows what they would wear
- 40:26they're judging you absolutely I'm the
- 40:28mother I love her because she's like
- 40:30that well then maybe you should not come
- 40:32you need to stay at home
- 40:34yeah absolutely absolutely absolutely
- 40:37Abby's like the Queen of Hearts Off With
- 40:38Their Heads like she's never reasonable
- 40:40she never can understand and listen to
- 40:42somebody else's point of view it's
- 40:43always like
- 40:44done I'm a mom I'm emotional and I
- 40:47cannot stand to see much let me ask you
- 40:49over the top and I need to go right now
- 40:50Abby because I'm just a little Christian
- 40:51Holly verbally assaulted me when a
- 40:54parent opens their mouth they are
- 40:56ruining their child and that's what they
- 40:57need to think about everyone is
- 40:59replaceable that's the first thing you
- 41:01learn in my studio and that is the last
- 41:04time it will ever happen it should not
- 41:06have happened Chloe absolutely loves the
- 41:09costume loves what she's doing is a very
- 41:11talented little girl but her mother's
- 41:13going to ruin her it's obvious
