0:00Previously on DANCE MOMS. SOLDIERS, ARE
0:02YOU READY?
0:04THIS IS WAR. WHAT ABOUT ME? What about
0:06you?
0:07You're on suspension.
0:09That's good, right there. That's it.
0:11Good, good, good. I had some new
0:12headshots taken.
0:13Okay. Woo! That's beautiful.
0:16I'm going to take Kenzie to the
0:17hospital.
0:18Mackenzie actually hurt her foot 2 weeks
0:20ago. Don't lie for your kids. You lie
0:22enough for yourself as it is.
0:26In seventh place Abby Lee Dance Company
0:30Coming up on Dance Moms. Group routine
0:33is about Rosa Parks. DO SOMETHING WITH
0:35THAT FACE!
0:37WE WON LAST TIME. Remember that.
0:39Can I have AN AMEN? AMEN!
0:41I CAN'T CHOREOGRAPH with you sitting
0:43over here.
0:43Maybe if we throw a stick, she'll leave.
0:45I'm not the one that fell down the ugly
0:47tree.
0:47I'm really not sure who I want to use as
0:48Rosa Parks. Let's give it to one of the
0:50blondes.
0:51What's the status with Rosa Parks?
0:55Christi and Kelly are going berserk.
0:57She just threw all of us under the bus.
1:17My girls, let's go.
1:19I'm really worried when Abby comes into
1:21pyramid what she's going to say about
1:23seventh place. We're normally in the top
1:25three, and that's even hard to take.
1:27Seventh is awful.
1:30In seventh place with a score of 274.2
1:32points is act number 84, Don't Ask, Just
1:35Dance.
1:40I've been trying to figure out what does
1:41the Abby Lee Dance Company need to do
1:44to get back to first overall high score?
1:48We went all the way to Minnesota. I've
1:50never been there before.
1:51Huh. And I'm probably never going back.
1:54Our top soloist couldn't even win.
1:57All right now,
1:59for the pyramid.
2:02Mackenzie
2:06I told you to stay off of your foot.
2:09I even went and got you a wheelchair so
2:12that you weren't standing on hard cement
2:15all day long. But you didn't listen. You
2:17were hopping all over the place.
2:19Melissa claims that she's injured, and
2:22then the next day she's fine and she can
2:24dance again. I don't know what to really
2:26believe. This week, you are benched.
2:30You will not be performing.
2:33Paige
2:36You did a good job. It's fine, but I
2:39don't want good. I don't want fine.
2:41Paige could win a Nobel Prize, and she
2:43would still be at the bottom of the
2:44pyramid.
2:46Brooke,
2:47in the group dance,
2:48you're almost lethargic.
2:50You move slow.
2:53You don't have a lot of zip, a lot of
2:55energy.
2:57I don't know if it has something to do
2:58with me, but no matter what my kids do,
3:01they're always at the bottom.
3:03Chloe
3:06Have you learned your lesson?
3:07I hope so.
3:09Chloe is suspended. So is her mother.
3:11Replace us. That's fine.
3:13I don't like the pyramid, but I have
3:16really been trying to behave myself
3:17because it really means a lot for Chloe
3:20to be on that pyramid. Moving on up
3:23Maddie
3:24second
3:262 weeks in a row.
3:27We're going to see. Do you have what it
3:29takes?
3:30Can you get past second?
3:33Next
3:36Kendall
3:39Jill, I used your new headshot that you
3:41gave me. I got some gorgeous headshots
3:44made for Kendall. Abby loved them. She
3:46put it on the pyramid.
3:48I didn't get the memo that we were
3:49supposed to stop and get new headshots
3:51for pyramid this week. Jill always has
3:53to one-up everybody. Do you guys like
3:55it? I didn't realize we were doing new
3:57headshots for the pyramid.
3:59Um
4:01You never quite know what to expect from
4:03Jill.
4:04She claims she's not sneaky, but there's
4:07always some surprise. Kendall's a pretty
4:09girl.
4:10You have the face, but you go on stage
4:13and you don't use it.
4:15And on top of the pyramid this week
4:18is Nia.
4:20I'm ecstatic. I am absolutely ecstatic
4:23that Nia is on the top of the pyramid.
4:25I thought you looked great. Your face
4:27was off the charts. You were beyond stay
4:30up there.
4:31I like Nia's fierceness.
4:33It's a payoff of all of that hard work,
4:36and it means a tremendous amount to her.
4:40Now, this week we will be attending
4:43Powerhouse Dance Competition in
4:45Cincinnati, Ohio, and I have a rotten
4:48feeling that you know who is going to be
4:50there. The last time we faced Cathy,
4:53she beat us,
4:55and that can't ever happen again.
4:57There's nothing to ruin the competition
4:59like Cathy.
5:01The group routine is about Rosa Parks.
5:05Rosa Parks served as a catalyst for a
5:07civil rights movement by refusing to
5:10stand up and give up her seat on a bus.
5:12I didn't really learn about Rosa Parks
5:14in school, but I know who she is because
5:17of my mom. She broke down barriers, and
5:20she united entire races. I like routines
5:24that move the judges in some way. If the
5:26girls just do exactly what they're
5:29supposed to do, we may not be second. We
5:32may actually win this time.
5:34Since Nia's at the top of the pyramid
5:36and the dance called Rosa Parks, and
5:38obviously this is a part destined for
5:40Nia. Don't assume anything. I have no
5:43idea who will play Rosa Parks.
5:48Really?
5:49I'm just saying. I absolutely want Nia
5:52to play the role of Rosa Parks, but this
5:54is the big lead role in the number this
5:57week. She has to give it her all before
6:00I'm even going to let her know that the
6:02part is hers.
6:04I'm annoyed. Here's finally a part for
6:06Nia, and Abby's playing games. Holly,
6:09what's going on with the short skirt?
6:11And your hair's in your face. I mean,
6:13come on. Suppose you don't like my
6:14style. I I I don't.
6:17Who is Abby to be calling Holly out on
6:19her fashion sense? I mean, really? My
6:21favorite part about Abby's accessories
6:22is that they're all organized in a
6:25shoebox by color. Red plastic rhinestone
6:27crap. Blue plastic rhinestone crap. I
6:31don't know. I just think that an
6:32award-winning costume designer
6:34would have picked something better.
6:35Winner of the award for fierce costume,
6:38congratulations to number 25.
6:42And you made your costume?
6:44Well, my mom made my costume.
6:46Congratulations.
6:47You have stylist on your resume now,
6:49too? Oh, I've been dressing people for
6:52years.
6:54I've been dying to spruce up Holly a
6:56little bit, so with the Rosa Parks thing
6:59dangling over her head, this might be
7:01the week.
7:04Kendall
7:05you will be doing a solo again this
7:06weekend. The name of your routine is
7:09Look at Me Now. We're going to do some
7:11exercises about this face. My other solo
7:14will go to Maddie.
7:17The name of your routine this week is
7:19Breaking Down Walls. Now, remember,
7:22I gave you a lifeline,
7:24you dropped it. You had to climb up a
7:25hill, you rolled back down.
7:28I was really sad that I won second place
7:30last week, but I'm really happy now that
7:32Miss Abby gave me another chance so I
7:34can win. We're going to see. Do you have
7:36what it takes?
7:38I have one more routine.
7:41Paige
7:42For years, you have begged me to do a
7:44duet with Chloe, and all this time I've
7:47been waiting for you to step it up to
7:49her level. So I don't have to wait any
7:51longer
7:52because Chloe
7:55you've slipped down to that level.
7:57So Chloe has to be bad for Paige to get
7:59a duet.
8:00Abby has to totally ruin the moment and
8:02be like, Paige, you haven't had a duet
8:05with Chloe because
8:07you don't dance as good as Chloe, but
8:10now that Chloe isn't dancing so well,
8:12you can have a duet with her.
8:15The name of your duet is Broadway
8:17Blondes. The style of your routine is
8:20jazz. Ladies, I'm going to ask you to
8:22spread apart. We're going to get started
8:23on the group routine.
8:25Moms, you're dismissed. Go ahead
8:27upstairs.
8:30Chloe's finally on the pyramid. Who
8:32would have ever thought I'd be excited
8:33to be on the pyramid? This season has
8:36really been rough on the girls between
8:37suspensions, you know, strikes,
8:40injuries. It's taken 12 weeks to get
8:42those seven little girls back on that
8:44pyramid. Really? It is so great to have
8:46the team together. It's nice to see Nia
8:49at the top. Really excited about that.
8:52That was a surprise. Nia, come here. I
8:54want you to demonstrate this for
8:55everyone. Inverted knee and a double
8:57pain. Step to upstage.
9:01Did you see her face when she said Rosa
9:03Parks? I know Nia was beaming. And then
9:06she goes, "Make no assumptions." Like,
9:08really?
9:08Let's give it to one of the blondes.
9:11I I'm shocked. She doesn't know who's
9:13going to play Rosa Parks. Well, Rosa
9:15Parks is standing right in front of you.
9:17No, she has to get the part.
9:18Oh my god, because if not, can you
9:19imagine if she was like, "Chloe, you're
9:21going to be Rosa Parks." Like, how could
9:23you make Chloe look like Rosa Parks
9:25without being too controversial? Oh boy.
9:28I don't know what Abby's thinking. I
9:30mean, clearly Nia should be the one to
9:32play Rosa Parks. Anything else would be
9:34inappropriate.
9:39Mackenzie
9:40do you know what being benched is?
9:44Being benched means that either you have
9:47an injury or like
9:51I'm the referee, and I benched you.
9:54I told you I wanted you to stay off of
9:56that foot. You were hopping all over the
9:58place.
9:59And look, you're still all taped up.
10:01Miss Abby benches me because last week I
10:04She thinks that I was doing cartwheels
10:06on my other foot, but I wasn't.
10:13Walk up on that step and freeze.
10:16This Rosa Parks routine is extremely
10:19technical, and the girls are so sloppy.
10:22The timing was really off. I can't get
10:25through more than 5 seconds without
10:27stopping somebody to correct something
10:29THEY SHOULD ALREADY KNOW. BOTH of you
10:31were off the music. We just told Brooke
10:34and Paige the same thing. These girls
10:37are rehearsing like they're seventh
10:39place dancers, not national champions,
10:43and I think their mothers are to blame.
10:47She can't let you walk out of there
10:49feeling good about yourself. She could
10:51ruin anything.
10:53Holly is angry about the Rosa Parks
10:55situation. Kelly is mad about the duet.
10:59I don't even want my kid to do it. Why?
11:01Because she pretty much said my kid
11:03sucks. That's why she never had one. Oh,
11:06Kelly, please don't take that away from
11:08them.
11:09Well, no thanks. I'll pass. Give it to
11:12somebody else.
11:14Shut up. They have waited forever. Quit
11:16stealing their joy. That's Abby's job.
11:18If you guys would have walked in here
11:20done what we started earlier perfectly,
11:23we would be going on right now. But we
11:25can't do THAT BECAUSE YOU DON'T REALLY
11:27CARE. Who's she yelling at? We're doing
11:30a routine about Rosa Parks. She cared.
11:33She stood up for it. She was arrested.
11:35She went to jail
11:37for something she was passionate about.
11:39You don't care if you win or not.
11:41You care how many Instagram things you
11:43get.
11:45I'm sick of the negativity. It spreads
11:48like wildfire to these girls, and I'm
11:50the one left to pick up the pieces, and
11:52I've had it.
12:01Parents, if you would just stand over
12:02here, please.
12:06Let's go back to the last competition.
12:10Let's give ourselves a round of
12:11applause.
12:13Last time we saw Abby, we won. We won
12:16big time, and boy did it feel good.
12:21But my question to you is was it luck?
12:27We need to stay on top of things. We
12:29need to be at our best, better than our
12:32best, every time. So, we won, all is
12:35good. We're going to win again when we
12:37go to competition. I've always known
12:39that my boys are better dancers than
12:42Abby's girls, and now Abby knows it,
12:44too. I'd like to talk about the pyramid.
12:48Brandon,
12:49I think that you've got so much to give.
12:53You've got this ultimate dazzling smile,
12:55but I need to see your dancing dazzle as
12:58much as your smile.
13:00Nick,
13:01do you know how many dancers in the
13:02country want this opportunity, and we
13:05came after you?
13:08Gino,
13:10you are like the most fabulous turner.
13:13Don't let your
13:15perfectionism get in the way so that it
13:18becomes a negative, okay?
13:20All right. So, that leaves us to the top
13:23of the pyramid.
13:25Jaylen,
13:27yeah.
13:29So, we are going to do a dance that's
13:32called Candy Apple Style, and it is a
13:35takeoff of the Gangnam Style. Yeah. Our
13:39group number, it's highlighting Jaylen
13:42with all of his hip-hop skills and his
13:45crazy moves that he does. I think this
13:47is going to knock Abby Lee right off of
13:50her height. No, she doesn't wear high
13:52heels. It's going to knock her socks
13:54off. And then, let's see. We still have
13:56to talk about our soloists. Jaylen, you
13:59will be doing a a solo this week, okay?
14:02Yeah. So, yes.
14:04SO,
14:05YOU HAVE AN opportunity to knock it out
14:08of the park. Abby is going to be
14:09completely knocked off her A game when
14:12she sees Jaylen. He has hip-hop moves
14:16that no one has seen, and he's going to
14:18pull all of those out of his little bag
14:20of tricks. You guys are just it for me.
14:23You're my it boys. We got to have a
14:24clean clean sweep this week.
14:34Hello.
14:35I'm meeting somebody here. She doesn't
14:37really dress right for her body. When
14:39Holly walks into a room, she should make
14:42a statement, but she's not making a very
14:44good statement. She has the badonkadonk,
14:46you know? And she has the
14:48And she has like big bunions, and she
14:50wears these short skirts and these
14:52open-toed shoes, and you're like, oh my
14:53gosh. I'm going to take her on a little
14:55shopping spree. I want to revive her
14:58look. I'm going to make her fabulous.
15:00Oh.
15:02Hi. Look, cute store.
15:04What you all doing, huh? I
15:07She invited me for moral support. You
15:08look very nice.
15:09Jill, this isn't about you.
15:12it's about Holly. I came to help.
15:13finally getting something special. It's
15:16going to pay off for Nia, but now we
15:17can't discuss Nia because you brought
15:18another
15:19Well, you can discuss Nia. I won't No. I
15:21won't listen. I won't say a word. When
15:22Holly told me that Abby was going to
15:24take her shopping, I really wanted to be
15:26there. I know that the role of Rosa
15:28Parks hasn't been assigned to any of the
15:30dancers yet, and I really want to take
15:32this opportunity to speak with Abby and
15:35find out what she's looking for. If
15:37she's not going to cast Nia, it might as
15:39well be Kendall. You have to look like
15:41you know how to dress your body. I think
15:43I know how to dress myself.
15:45Come with me. I'll show you the
15:46difference.
15:52All of this.
15:53The knees, the calves, the ankles, cover
15:57it up.
16:00Well, these are zeros. Let's move away
16:01from here. I found some stuff. How about
16:03when two adults are speaking? Excuse me.
16:05Excuse me, I found you some Let's get in
16:07the dressing room and let's start. Jill,
16:10you're not wanted. Normally, Abby's not
16:12the type of person I would take fashion
16:14advice from, but
16:16I want Nia to be considered for Rosa
16:17Parks, and if it makes Abby happy to
16:19dress me up for a little bit, I'll go
16:21right along with it.
16:23Abby, yesterday Nia said that you
16:25weren't sure who was still doing the
16:28Rosa Parks dance.
16:30No.
16:31And, you know, I keep getting uh thrown
16:34under the bus for typecasting.
16:37Holly has forever
16:40been accusing me of typecasting.
16:43You think Holly would want me to give
16:45her the part because she deserves it,
16:47and that's exactly what I'm going to do.
16:49But I have to make Nia earn this role,
16:51and that is going to make her a better
16:53dancer. So, Abby, what's the status with
16:57Rosa Parks? Have you seen the number
16:59long enough to figure out who's going to
17:01play I just started the number. I didn't
17:02even get the props in the studio. Well,
17:03that's why I asked what the status is.
17:05What are you thinking about it?
17:07I can't believe Jill's lobbying for her
17:09daughter to take this part away from
17:10Nia. Jill, I brought you along to kind
17:13of be a buffer, not to absorb
17:16opportunities for your child to get
17:17ahead. I don't know. I mean, you know,
17:19come on. Maddie's the strongest dancer.
17:21So, I don't know if I'm going to use her
17:23for Rosa Parks and go against type. I
17:24have no idea. I I know you want Kendall
17:27to work on her face, and if that's what
17:29you want, then I need to get that for
17:31Kendall. You know what, Jill? If she
17:32gets it, she's going to get it on her
17:33own. Excuse me, Jill. I'm going to get
17:34back to what I'm
17:35Okay. Okay.
17:36That Jill is just unbelievable. She is
17:39shoving her kid down my throat. I want
17:41you out of the store. You're not seeing
17:43what I'm buying. Go.
17:44Poof, be gone.
17:53Hey, honey. Come on in.
17:56You know, mommy's always busy with the
17:57boys and everything, and I don't get to
17:59do like privates with you, so this is a
18:01good opportunity that I've got some time
18:04off. I really miss Vivi being on my team
18:07now that I have all boys, but I'm trying
18:09to sneak in every opportunity I can to
18:12work with her. Nothing makes me happier
18:14than watching my baby dance. So, what I
18:17wanted to work on today was some ballet
18:20technique and stretches, okay? So, let's
18:22stand at the bar.
18:23Right right hand on the bar.
18:25Pull your belly in, press your derriere
18:26down, and prepare your arm.
18:30Demi and straighten and relevé. Now, I
18:33want you to keep your shoulders down.
18:34Pull your knees up. Good. Keep your
18:36tummy tucked. Keep your tummy tucked in.
18:38Press down with your derriere, and lift.
18:41Hold. Hold. Come on, hold on. Hold on.
18:44Squeeze your derriere. Nice job. Don't
18:46roll Roll on those feet. Keep little
18:47toes on the ground.
18:48Vivi is at this age where she is growing
18:50up so fast, and I just don't want to
18:53miss anything. I'm trying my hardest to
18:55make sure that I have time for her
18:57because I don't want to blink my eyes
18:59and have my baby all grown up. I have to
19:01get back to the boys, okay? And I snuck
19:04away so I could spend a couple minutes
19:06with you.
19:08Love you, honey.
19:17Kendall,
19:18you have this gorgeous face and get on
19:20stage, and there's nothing happening.
19:22You try so hard. It's like
19:25I get a little sass. I get a little
19:28And then, you hit the turns, and you're
19:30like this.
19:32And your mouth is open, and flies are
19:33going to go in there someday. Missed.
19:35I'm not sure Kendall will ever be ready
19:38to play Rosa Parks, but she must use her
19:41face in her solo. All right. Face that
19:43way.
19:44Shock, surprise.
19:47Really? Really, you run around with your
19:49hands like this?
19:51No. Surprised.
19:53I feel like Abby's giving me my own
19:55private lesson with my facial
19:57expressions.
19:59Shocked. 1 2 3
20:02It's really weird for Abby to pick me
20:05out of everybody to work on something
20:08that I need to improve. Evil.
20:11No, that's not evil. That's Joey. Evil.
20:14I really want to prove to Miss Abby that
20:17I can do my facial expressions just as
20:19she taught me. Now, let's do happy.
20:22Sad.
20:24Pouting.
20:26See, I'm good at it.
20:31When we do the dance and I teach you
20:34your lesson,
20:35I want to see every one of those faces.
20:38If Kendall's not going to act out the
20:40emotion during her solo,
20:42then she's not going to beat Cathy and
20:45I'm finished giving her solos. Well, you
20:47know, what's up with the duet? We
20:49haven't even heard The what?
20:50Who knows? Where's Kendall? I don't know
20:52where Kendall is.
20:53over it. What was Kendall? Was
20:55everything okay? She was sitting in the
20:56um
20:57dressing room with Abby. They were going
20:59over she was going over facial
21:01expressions.
21:02Oh. For this? No, I'm assuming for her
21:04solo, but I wasn't there.
21:05Wow. What do you got to do to get like
21:07facial expressions? Our kids don't even
21:09have choreography.
21:11Jill is so ridiculous. She's always
21:14sneaking around behind our backs trying
21:16to get Kendall ahead. I mean, we have so
21:18much going on this week. I really don't
21:20think Abby should be wasting her time
21:21working on Kendall's faces in a mirror.
21:23The way that Abby's telling the story is
21:26like it gets kind of
21:28lost in translation. You know how Abby
21:31starts with a theme and then it develops
21:33and then it's kind of not like what she
21:35initially told you it was going to be
21:36about. I don't even know who's playing
21:38Rosa Parks. Every time I look at you,
21:40Nia, because you're the obvious choice,
21:42your feet are like
21:43hooves.
21:45You're flexing your foot and you're
21:46clenching your toes.
21:48We're going to do an epic routine about
21:51a woman who changed history. I honestly
21:53want Nia to be good enough to play the
21:55role of Rosa Parks,
21:57but I don't know if she is. This one
21:59over here was over there trying to pitch
22:02her daughter to Abby as being Rosa
22:04Parks.
22:05When Holly told me that Jill invited
22:07herself to go shopping with Holly and
22:09Abby, it didn't surprise me at all. I
22:11knew that this was Jill's way of being
22:13sneaky and her way of talking to Abby
22:16trying to get Kendall the lead. You
22:18actually asked her for that part. No.
22:20What No, I said
22:23it it would be a good part for Kendall
22:26because she needs to work on her acting
22:28and her face.
22:30I really think you're like delusional
22:32about Jill.
22:33Give it to Kendall.
22:35I don't understand why these moms are so
22:37upset over this. Their kids get lead
22:40roles all the time. Kendall does not.
22:42Kendall always gets overlooked. Here's
22:45an opportunity for my child to have a
22:47lead role and it's driving them crazy.
22:50I'm the only one who gets in trouble for
22:51wanting something for my child.
22:53none of us do crazy stuff like you do to
22:55get ahead.
22:55I do crazy? You asked Abby if Kendall
22:58could be Rosa Parks.
23:06I'm the only one who gets in trouble for
23:07wanting something.
23:09You asked Abby if Kendall could be Rosa
23:11Parks. That's
23:12No, I didn't. You weren't there. Kendall
23:14never had a special part, people. I
23:16think every one of your kids has. Jill
23:18will do anything for a special part even
23:21if it means that Kendall is Rosa Parks.
23:23Really?
23:25If anybody is Rosa Parks but Nia,
23:28I'm not watching the dance.
23:30And I don't think that anyone should be
23:32Rosa Parks but Nia.
23:35Why? These moms are coming down on me so
23:38hard, I I can't stand it. We think you
23:42should go down and say, "You know what?
23:44I think I was mistaken. I don't think
23:46that this would be a good part for
23:47Kendall. I think Nia fits this role."
23:51Just act stupid and be like, "I thought
23:52Rosa Parks was somebody different."
23:57I thought she was
23:58an immigrant.
24:00girl with brown hair AND BROWN EYES.
24:06ABBY, DO YOU have a minute? I just need
24:08to let you know that Christi and Kelly
24:10are going berserk
24:12that they think Kendall is playing Rosa
24:15Parks.
24:16Oh, wait. Let me just say for the
24:18record, she just threw all of us under
24:19the bus. The moms said Kendall can't be
24:22Rosa Parks. What do you think? Nia needs
24:25to think she has competition. I can't
24:27just hand it to her on a platter.
24:28Healthy competition is good for every
24:30dancer. But, leave it to the moms to get
24:33involved and mess it all up. But, why is
24:36that bimbo running this studio? It would
24:39make perfect sense for Nia to play Rosa
24:41Parks. They badgered me and badgered me
24:43until I gave
24:44dance. I did because I had
24:45So, you just took your kid
24:48and put her on the back burner for
24:50somebody else.
24:53Kendall's never had special parts. So,
24:55this might be the last one the poor kid
24:57ever gets. And here I am letting these
24:59moms badger me into taking it away from
25:02her. I can't win, really.
25:05Kendall, your mother just took you out
25:07of the running for Rosa Parks.
25:10Nia,
25:13you will be playing the part of Rosa
25:15Parks.
25:18This is a huge lead role,
25:20so you better make me proud. I'm not
25:22sure what caused Abby not to give Nia
25:25the part of Rosa Parks from day one, but
25:27I'm glad Nia has it now.
25:35HEY, KELLY!
25:37YES?
25:39Kelly has been so negative since I
25:41assigned Paige a duet with Chloe. Paige
25:44has a duet? It's hard, it's difficult
25:47and I want her to embrace that and I
25:49want her to do it. I need Kelly to be
25:52supportive of Paige, not to sabotage
25:54your own kid with her negativity. You
25:56give her the duet and it's all negative.
25:59So, it's like Chloe sucks just like you,
26:03so you're getting a duet. But, go out
26:04there and do it well.
26:06Well, I think she needs to come in there
26:07and try to prove me wrong. Okay. Be
26:09tougher. Be stronger. I hope she does.
26:19All right, girls.
26:20This is it. Show me what you've got.
26:23Oh, look the duet. Yeah.
26:27I don't know if I want Paige to do the
26:28duet. You know, I think Abby's setting
26:31her up for failure
26:32and I don't want to put my kid through
26:33that.
26:39Broadway Blondes is a sassy hot jazz
26:42number. It accentuates the beautiful
26:45long lines and legs on Paige and Chloe.
26:53Ugh.
26:54That's horrible. That's four stars
26:56clearly on the left leg. I want them to
26:58dance well. I want them to do good. I I
27:00just want it to be a happy thing for
27:01those two.
27:03I think you're capable of doing more
27:04things together.
27:06You need to be in sync. You need to
27:07mirror each other.
27:09I think it could be great. I don't think
27:11it's great yet. I need Paige to really
27:14pay attention to the choreography if
27:16she's going to be any match for Chloe's
27:18technique.
27:19All right.
27:20Chloe, you're dismissed. Paige, I want
27:21to talk to you for a second.
27:23Oh, god. If Abby asks about my kid about
27:27this duet, I'm pulling it. I'm not
27:29letting Abby treat my kid this way.
27:31Paige,
27:32you have it all.
27:34You're tall, you're lean, you're
27:37gorgeous,
27:39but you don't go through A and B and C
27:42to get to D.
27:44You think you can just skip over it. I
27:46know I'm tough on Paige, but that's my
27:48job. I need to correct her mistakes and
27:50make her a better dancer. It's Kelly's
27:53job as the mom to build her daughter up
27:55with confidence and be her cheerleader,
27:58but Kelly's not doing it. So, now it's
28:00my job. If you want to be better than
28:02Chloe,
28:04then you want to be better than Maddie
28:05and better than Kendall and better than
28:07your sister,
28:08you have to work more.
28:12Well, like
28:13I I think this is very good that Abby's
28:15talking to Paige like this.
28:17I
28:18She should do this more often. If you
28:20don't like what I have to say,
28:23you have two options.
28:25You either quit
28:27and I'll never see you again
28:29or you come back in here and you prove
28:31me wrong.
28:33Make me eat crow.
28:36All right. Go. Nia, hug.
28:38See you.
28:40I don't think Paige knows what eat crow
28:42means.
28:43I'll explain that to her though cuz I'd
28:45like to have her make Abby eat crow.
28:48A little more than that. Her with a
28:50little on top.
28:56Come on, Maddie. Let's do it. Breaking
29:00down the wall.
29:03Are you going to break down the wall?
29:05Or is the wall going to be nice and
29:08strong and you're like
29:10and you're against the wall and you're
29:11like splat.
29:12Maddie's dance this week is called
29:14Breaking Down Walls.
29:16It's a contemporary piece
29:19and it's just saying, you know, breaking
29:21down the walls. I'm trying to get back
29:22to first place.
29:24You need to use your STOMACH ON YOUR
29:26JUMPS.
29:28BACK LIKE HIGHER, STRAIGHTER. Each week
29:30I think Maddie's choreography gets
29:33better and better. This dance this week
29:35is so difficult. I'm really excited to
29:38see it on stage.
29:42I have to show you the cutest thing.
29:45So cute. Mackenzie like locks herself in
29:48her bedroom. I went on her computer. So
29:52McKenzie's been doing all these
29:53tutorials and so cute. Melissa is
29:56hilarious sometimes. We all know that
29:58Melissa thinks Maddie is the best dancer
30:00and she can't help bragging about it to
30:02anyone who cares.
30:05But who knew that McKenzie was the star
30:07makeup artist?
30:09Where'd she get the idea to do that? I
30:11don't know.
30:12So she not only did the tutorial,
30:15filmed herself, had her materials, and
30:17then she actually put it up on the
30:19internet.
30:20What? So Melissa, you're telling me you
30:23let her in a room by herself and you
30:25don't know what she's doing behind a
30:27locked door? But you know she figured
30:29out how to get my credit card number to
30:31do iTunes. Ooh, It's hard for
30:34McKenzie sometimes to be in Maddie's
30:36shadow and I'm glad for her because
30:38she's not dancing. So it's really nice
30:40that she's like the little makeup star
30:41this week.
30:44Big fourth arabesque. Push.
30:47Cross in front soutenu contract.
30:51Forward tendu.
30:53And easy.
30:55Easy.
30:56Easy. Maddie is nailing the technique in
31:00this routine. But I have to make sure
31:03that she's also nailing the emotional
31:05execution. The wall crumbles
31:09and now suddenly you realize that you
31:11broke it down and you're leaving and
31:13you're on your way.
31:15And you got to say goodbye to her
31:17and McKenzie and everybody else. What?
31:20Now when you're headed to stardom, you
31:21can't take along the whole group.
31:24All right. It's better without them.
31:29Okay. I thank you.
31:32All right. This is Nia who is now
31:35playing the role of Rosa Parks.
31:36Thank you.
31:37Yeah, cuz Joe gave it up.
31:40Oh, Abby is never going to let me live
31:42this down and neither will those moms.
31:44She's pretty. They're cute. You want to
31:47set that on and we'll just see. I like
31:49the big hat. I think that that would be
31:52a good church hat for you, Dr. Holly.
31:54CAN I HAVE AN AMEN? AMEN.
31:57LADIES, GET home and get packed.
31:59Tomorrow morning I want to see the girls
32:00here. They have to run all these numbers
32:03before they get on that bus.
32:05All right. Go go go go go. Thank you.
32:15Our group number is called Candyapples
32:18style. It's a K-pop number and there's a
32:21lot of funky jazz.
32:23We'll go up even like that. Boom. Boom.
32:26Anthony Burrell is an in-demand
32:28choreographer. He has worked with such
32:31entertainers as Jay-Z and Beyoncé. We
32:34are incredibly lucky to have him help us
32:37go against the ALDC team.
32:39Five, six, seven, eight. Ba ba ba.
32:43Anthony is quite an artiste and he wants
32:47to make sure that we all know that.
32:50And and that's that's the energy that
32:52I'm missing from you guys. You guys got
32:53all these amazing tricks, but you have
32:55no pop. He is extremely hard on the
32:58boys. Stop punching that foot like that.
33:00Point it. Point it all the way.
33:03Boom. Yes. Point it. Stretch that knee.
33:06That's how you stretch your foot. Don't
33:08sit on top of it punching it. Put your
33:11hands down.
33:12Come again. And five again.
33:15Don't baby these guys. They're boys.
33:17They need men in their life. They need
33:19men. Do you like affection? I like
33:20affection, but
33:22outside of the studio.
33:23Cathy is easy on those guys. She treats
33:26them like they're little girls and
33:27there's no space for that. Tell them to
33:29do 25 push-ups, you know? We can't have
33:32our boys as dainty as the girls on the
33:34dance floor. I don't want you baby That
33:35doesn't happen in my studio when I'm
33:37with boys. Well, you just said a
33:38mouthful, darling. In your studio. We're
33:40in my studio.
33:41Okay. And that's And exactly, since it's
33:43your studio, did you want to do this?
33:46I'm absolutely not the type of person
33:47that will back down from Cathy. Whenever
33:49I step in the studio, I don't care if
33:50this is your studio, your house. You
33:52invite me here, this is my room. I can't
33:55choreograph with you sitting over here
33:56on my over my shoulder like this.
33:57sitting over your shoulder. Now I could
33:59be sitting on your lap. Would you like
34:01that?
34:03You You figure the combination out.
34:04Okay, fine.
34:05Go count to 10.
34:07Maybe take 10 dance classes.
34:19Don't baby these guys. They're boys. Go
34:21count to 10. Maybe take 10 dance
34:23classes.
34:28This lady is tripping, man.
34:31I don't need a watchdog over my back,
34:33you know, when I'm when I'm being
34:34creative and I I can't work like this. I
34:36just can't. That's why she always gets
34:38slaughtered by Abby. She's a handful,
34:40you know? She She's very opinionated.
34:42She has her hand in in all the pots. I
34:44do know that she comes off a little
34:46strong and then
34:48um
34:49she will listen to reason.
34:51But let me just chill off a little bit.
34:54Just cuz this this is her house. This is
34:55her school.
34:56Thanks, man. It's good though, man.
34:57Yeah, she She's definitely a handful,
34:59but you know, I respect her, you know?
35:00You know, I respect what she does.
35:04You feeling better? Mhm.
35:10This is it. You're getting on a bus.
35:12You're going to Cincinnati and you're
35:15going to see your old dancing teacher
35:16there. The one your mother thought was
35:18better than me. Cathy does not get any
35:21credit for Kendall. I don't care. She
35:23taught her nothing. You're going to get
35:24out there and dance against her kids.
35:27Don't lose.
35:33There's a lot of pressure on Kendall to
35:35win this week.
35:38More energy. Face. Face. That gorgeous
35:41face is the key to scoring high with the
35:44judges. Face. Face. Face. Face. Come on.
35:47Get away from that mirror. Breathe.
35:49Breathe. Breathe. Face is bad. BAD. BAD.
35:52DO SOMETHING WITH THAT FACE.
35:54GO SIT IN FRONT OF THAT MIRROR and work
35:56on those faces.
35:57Miss Abby really wants to focus on my
36:00face and I agree with her because I need
36:02some work.
36:05Happy.
36:06Excited.
36:08Mad.
36:10Evil. It's really funny doing facial
36:13expressions with Kendall. Good.
36:15I'm like Miss Abby and I'm like telling
36:18her what to do. Excited.
36:20After a while, I think we were just
36:22making up faces. We were having so much
36:24fun and we didn't want to stop.
36:26Do what Miss Abby does best.
36:36Since we beat Abby, we have had so much
36:39local support. We're practically famous
36:42around town.
36:45So I thought that it was about time to
36:47give the outside of our studio a
36:49facelift and today is the day that we're
36:51showing it off.
36:54Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to
36:56Candyapples. Cathy, it's my privilege
36:58and honor to present you with this
36:59plaque commemorating your victory over
37:01Abby Lee's Dance Studio.
37:03Oh, thank you so much. Today is
37:06Candyapples Day. I would like to make
37:08everyday Candyapples Day. Do you agree?
37:20I'd love for you to do the honors.
37:26We are winners and now our studio looks
37:29like a place where winners dance.
37:31guys. We're open for business. Let's go.
37:37All right, Maddie. Come on.
37:38The name of the song is Breaking Down
37:41the Wall. That's what I need to see you
37:42do.
37:44Go get help. Get out that way. Get out
37:46there. Nice.
37:48This routine is exquisite.
37:50It shows that Maddie truly is a star and
37:54I'm going to do everything I can to make
37:56sure she reaches her full potential.
37:58Come on. These are the points. Come on.
38:01Come on. Hold on. Hold on. Press down.
38:03Longer knees. There you go. Nice. And
38:06beating Cathy is just the cherry on top.
38:09You're going up against boys.
38:11You know you can win.
38:13You've done it already.
38:16Did you see that Cathy redecorated?
38:19She got a facelift at Candyapples.
38:22What I gather on the internet, it seems
38:23that Cathy has painted exterior of her
38:26studio. It's all the money she's making.
38:28They look like big tomatoes. Let me see.
38:30I got to look. Wait, are those deers
38:32jumping out? Everything Cathy touches
38:35turns tacky. She has these big red
38:37tomatoes painted on her wall. The
38:39dancers look like they have deer antlers
38:43coming out of their heads.
38:44I would like to know she spelled
38:45Candyapples cuz she had an apple like
38:48the apple owns the studio. Cathy
38:50probably thinks she's so high class
38:52because she painted her building.
39:02You're about Jaylen's size. In coming
39:04with me here today, I want you to be my
39:08model. Can you do that for me? I have to
39:11do some shopping for Jaylen's solo
39:13costume and I thought that I could spend
39:15some one-on-one time with Vivi. Because
39:18Jaylen moves on his head and that sort
39:20of stuff, I need to see if the costumes
39:22are going to move. So can you like break
39:24that out on the floor for me at any
39:25moment?
39:27Let's Let's start out with the police
39:29uniform. Do you think that you can try
39:31this on?
39:34Oh.
39:35OH.
39:37OH, do we know Who muffin man? What the
39:42heck is this doing?
39:44I see. Maybe he could be like a
39:47motorcycle person. It's short.
39:50Bam! And pose.
39:52It's a bit long.
39:54Push it and throw it.
39:56That was good, honey. Do you think that
39:59he would look like he's from Wall
40:01Street? Yeah. Do you know what Wall
40:04Street is?
40:04No. No, okay.
40:06Yeah, it was a movie, honey. It was a
40:08movie. Just let me see what a couple of
40:10these things look like. You make without
40:13a doubt
40:15the cutest
40:17cowboy to rob a bank.
40:19All right. Well, I think that we've got
40:21what we need.
40:23Vivie, hurry up, honey. Let's get your
40:24clothes on. Okay.
40:30I have costumes for Chloe and Paige,
40:34your duet costumes.
40:37Ooh, I see ruffles.
40:40Now, you're going to wear black fishnet
40:41tights, black jazz shoes. I thought they
40:44were Broadway. No,
40:46they're girls. Well, the name of the
40:47dance is Broadway Blondes.
40:49Yeah. There's not much fabric on those,
40:51Abby. Yeah. All right, go try it on.
40:53Let's see. Go ahead.
40:55These costumes are ridiculous. They're
40:56more for Vegas than Broadway.
41:03They are gorgeous.
41:05Rose between two thorns. They're more
41:08for Vegas than Broadway. Are you sure
41:11the judges aren't going to think these
41:13are too skimpy for their age?
41:17No.
41:19You guys like the costumes? Yeah.
41:21The duet costume is pushing it, but if I
41:23go to Abby and complain, she's going to
41:24take the duet away from Chloe and Paige.
41:26I don't know if I want them wearing
41:27those costumes in front of the boys. I
41:29guess I'll just look at these costumes
41:31and imagine that it's just a swimsuit
41:33and they're at the pool. Come on, girls.
41:34Let's get back in there. Let's go. Let's
41:36go.
41:39You know what? We're on borrowed time
41:40here, so we need you to get moving. I do
41:42this with Vivie every morning. I wonder
41:45if it's possible to just
41:47build this shirt on the front of this
41:49shirt. The name of Jaylen's routine is
41:52working 9 to 5 and he is going to
41:54portray three different professions.
41:57He's incorporating his dance skills
42:00along with movable take-off props.
42:03Do it again. See if that was luck.
42:06Oh. And between the intricate costume
42:09changes and Anthony's tough way of
42:13teaching,
42:14I hope that Jaylen can learn this
42:16routine. Boom, big big timing. You go
42:19toss, boom. So, look. First of all, you
42:21got to look where you're throwing so you
42:23can see boom boom pop so you can know
42:26the timing where it was going. See where
42:27it's going?
42:30Oh. Mix it. Mix it. I have a I have a I
42:33have a really good idea. From this
42:34position, Jaylen, that you have the rag
42:36in your hand, is this the transition
42:38position? Yeah.
42:40Once you go from here, spin into a ninja
42:43drop, then you can come up changing.
42:45It's kind of disrespectful to a
42:46choreographer when there's an outside
42:49voice
42:50hovering over your shoulder. But, you
42:52can almost just leave that on the floor
42:54when you get up from your ninja and
42:56disrobe and come forward. His father
42:57doesn't have the experience that I have
42:59of a stage performer.
43:08Come on, girls. We're ready to go. I'm
43:10questioning whether I ever should have
43:12given Chloe and Paige a duet. Paige is
43:14the one who begged me for this duet
43:17and I figured since Chloe wasn't at her
43:19peak, this would be the perfect time to
43:21bring these two girls together. But
43:23right now, Paige is not cutting it and I
43:27know it's because of Kelly's bad
43:29attitude.
43:34Come on, match your faces. I'm hoping
43:36that Paige and Chloe can dance in sync
43:39because if two dancers doing a duet
43:41aren't in sync, it's a disaster.
43:44Now, these girls really need to focus,
43:46especially Paige. two
43:48three four and exit.
43:53Paige tried her duet costume on last
43:55night.
43:56They're wearing fishnets, which makes it
43:57even worse.
44:00And And how about the music?
44:02This isn't so Broadway Blondie. I know
44:04Kelly is really struggling with the
44:06duet. The costumes are skimpy. Yes, the
44:09music is racy, but we really just have
44:11to make the best of it if we want our
44:13girls to have the chance to be featured.
44:15Do you like the duet? I don't want it if
44:17that's the attitude she's going to have
44:18towards it.
44:20You guys wouldn't have liked it if she
44:21presented it to your kids that way,
44:23either. I thought she was mean to Chloe,
44:24too.
44:27You know, Kel, you might be my friend,
44:29but you better not try to take this away
44:30from Chloe. She needs this. I mean, she
44:32needs a chance to shine.
44:34I'm just got to go with it.
44:47So, I tend to think that, you know, they
44:48like to really come out and and impress
44:50the girls.
44:52So, let's let them do it. It's fun to
44:54perform in front of your peers. So, I
44:56asked the girls if they wouldn't mind
44:58being a live audience for the group
45:01number of the boys.
45:09FIVE, SIX, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX. TURN
45:13AND ONE, TWO.
45:15TURN.
45:19FIVE, FIVE. JAYLEN, WHAT YOU DOING, MAN?
45:22YOU missed your cue. Make it happen.
45:24This is showtime. You have an audience
45:25here. Jaylen, why did you miss your cue?
45:27Jaylen.
45:29Jaylen.
45:31It's because you don't pay attention in
45:32rehearsal. That's why. This is what
45:34happens. You have to take precaution. If
45:35it happens on stage, what are you going
45:36to do?
45:37I missed my cue because of what?
45:40Somebody was there, come out. Do your
45:42thing. It doesn't matter. Jaylen missed
45:44his cue and that is not good. He is the
45:47star of this routine and we need to have
45:49him nail this.
45:50I'm only screaming at you because I
45:52care, you know? So, you can get your
45:54moment, man. You know, I'm depending on
45:56you to to make this that that that
45:57section pop. I want you to be the best
45:59that you can be.
46:00Yeah?
46:04Jaylen is my child and if for someone to
46:08yell at him in that manner,
46:11I would usually
46:13get up and take control of the
46:14situation.
46:18It's hard for me to stand by and watch
46:21Anthony be so hard on the boys,
46:23especially Jaylen.
46:25I just hope that they can shake this
46:27performance off and get out any mistakes
46:30now so that they can be perfect for
46:32tomorrow.
46:42The little line. The line, whatever you
46:45want.
46:48I'm in the den and I'm doing all the
46:50girls' makeup because I'm really bored.
46:54I have hiccups. So, what? I'm putting
46:57lip gloss on you, make you look classy.
47:02Ooh.
47:03I got it in my mouth.
47:05That doesn't look right.
47:07Hey, hey.
47:08You can chill. Cool.
47:10What's going on? Nothing.
47:13Nothing? You were doing nothing? I was
47:15doing your makeup.
47:16You're doing makeup? Well, that's okay.
47:17What you all doing makeup? I'm going to
47:18sit down cuz I don't like this lipstick
47:20I have on, so hit me up.
47:22Mackenzie is benched this week, but that
47:25doesn't mean I can't put her to work.
47:28Is that better? Mhm. That's better. Is
47:30that better?
47:32Since you like doing makeup so much, you
47:34can be in charge of the makeup this
47:36weekend. You're going to do the whole
47:37group and guess who you're going to
47:38start with.
47:39Who?
47:40MADDIE.
47:43NO, SHE WOULDN'T LET ME DO HER MAKEUP.
47:45SHE'S NOT IN CHARGE. I'm in charge. I
47:47say you're doing it.
47:48I'm really nervous that I might mess up
47:50the makeup. I don't want Miss Abby to
47:52yell at me.
47:54I'm done. We have hats.
47:55Not only is the Rosa Parks piece
47:58artistry in motion,
48:00but they also have a lot of props to
48:02deal with. They have hats and bus seats
48:05and there's not a lot of time to master
48:07them. Brooke, your feet can't come apart
48:09and be a mess. You need to really pull
48:11up through your spine and tuck your head
48:12under. NOW, WIGGLE YOUR FEET, BROOKE.
48:14WIGGLE THEM. TIMING. THE FURTHEST flex
48:17there.
48:18I want this to be one of those big
48:20award-winning numbers and these girls
48:23are not ready to compete.
48:25And we're leaving in a few minutes. The
48:27Abby Lee Dance Company needs a victory.
48:29We need to beat Cathy. Nia, you are
48:32portraying Rosa Parks, a great American
48:35hero. You're going to tell the story?
48:36Are you going to be a strong woman? Are
48:38you going to change history on the
48:40stage?
48:46Now, listen, girls. Please stop. Stop.
48:48Take the earplugs out. Pay attention.
48:52We are going to Ohio
48:54and you know what that means.
48:56I do not want
49:00to lose to Cathy.
49:02The last time we faced Cathy, she beat
49:04us and that can't ever happen again.
49:07Now, I've tried really hard to create
49:10better team unity
49:12and this team needs to lead us to
49:14victory.
49:21Nia,
49:22would you come up and tell us a little
49:24what you learned about Rosa Parks
49:26while you were researching? Nia stayed
49:28up all night making this poster of Rosa
49:29Parks. This is not just any role. This
49:32is a role about a woman who changed
49:33history for me and for many others and I
49:36couldn't be proud of Nia to have the
49:38opportunity to teach people about Rosa
49:40Parks. She
49:42sat down on the bus and they asked her
49:44to move and she politely didn't say
49:46anything and she just
49:48sat there. I'm proud of Nia. She came in
49:52with this full-blown poster about Rosa
49:54Parks. I'm glad she's taking the role
49:56seriously because if you're going to win
49:58it, you have to want it.
50:03This is a little something that when I
50:05saw it, I thought of you. Jill, stop.
50:08I know you wanted Kendall to be Rosa. I
50:10know you wanted me to just No, I didn't.
50:14No.
50:15I want Kendall to have opportunities and
50:17you're giving them to her and that's all
50:18I want.
50:20Very nice of this.
50:23After Nia shares her poster with Abby,
50:25Jill slides in and gives Abby a
50:27necklace.
50:28This woman is ridiculous. She's trying
50:30to bribe her with gifts? She'll do
50:32whatever she can to get her daughter
50:34ahead.
50:46Hi. Hi, nice to see you. Candy Apples.
50:48Nice. We're checking in. All right.
50:57Run girls. Let's go. Let's go.
51:00Oh, I feel the earth move under my feet.
51:05We're here at Power House Dance
51:06competition in Cincinnati, Ohio.
51:09And I am on a mission to win. I just
51:12have to keep my blinders on from any and
51:14all distraction. Hey boys, we could be
51:17cocky. We won last time. Remember that.
51:20Hi, how are you? Hey, excuse me for just
51:24a moment. Hi. Don't touch me. Oh,
51:26bodyguards.
51:28After that last assault. Cathy needs a
51:31bodyguard like I need another psycho mom
51:34at my dance studio. She's the one that
51:36hit me. I'm the one that should hire a
51:38bodyguard. I didn't even know the lid
51:40was off. You know what? Cuz I didn't
51:41mean to do that either.
51:45I want to thank you guys for being
51:46beside me
51:48because you never know when water's
51:50going to fly out of their hands or a
51:52fist. Who said they saw Cathy with a
51:54bodyguard? She does not have a
51:56bodyguard. That's funny. She's the one
51:59that comes up uh,
52:01you know, with her insults and then
52:02starts beating on you.
52:05Okay, water doesn't HURT ME. GROW UP.
52:07YOU grow up. If Cathy makes her if she
52:10makes herself feel good with having like
52:13two grown up cops walk around, like
52:14that's the only way Cathy can get men to
52:16hang out with her. Either bribe them to
52:17be on her team or pay them to guard her.
52:19Cathy needs bodyguards? She's the one
52:22who accosted all of us. I mean, Cathy
52:24has hit me twice, thrown water on me,
52:26thrown water on Abby, beat Abby with a
52:29purse, tried to beat Jill with a purse,
52:31and threw water on her. I think of
52:33anything, we need a bodyguard and a
52:35sponge.
52:36Holly,
52:37what do you have on? Clothing. Let me
52:40see. This is an Abby authorized outfit.
52:43No.
52:44You can do better. Holly, I'm trying to
52:46pizzazz you up, all right?
52:48Oh lord.
52:50How about if you take this, everything's
52:52in here, and jump behind the dressing
52:54room and get yourself changed. Here I am
52:56getting a costume from Abby just like
52:58the girls getting costumes and I have to
53:00try it on
53:02in the back and come out and show all my
53:05costume.
53:07Ready for me? Yes.
53:12You're beautiful.
53:14This is Abby's ensemble and this makes a
53:17statement though. You walk in, I'm here.
53:21Rosa Parks wouldn't walk in
53:23like
53:24me and little Nia. But what was it about
53:26Holly that you didn't like that you felt
53:28you needed to change? I gave Nia the
53:30part of Rosa Parks.
53:32She's a star. And now Holly looks like a
53:35leading lady, too. Mackenzie,
53:38come on over here. I don't know if all
53:40the moms heard or not. You think they
53:41know what your role is here?
53:43What your job's going to be?
53:46Yes. Mackenzie is the official makeup
53:48artist for the Abby Lee Dance Company.
53:51She's going to do all the girls' makeup
53:53and the moms have no say in the matter.
53:56Jill,
53:57as soon as you get that hair finished
53:58over there, Mackenzie's going to start
54:00with Kendall. So, I want to see
54:02Mackenzie's work first.
54:03Oh, no, no, no, no. Kendall's first.
54:06Usually Maddie does Mackenzie's makeup.
54:08I know. Mackenzie's not the makeup guru,
54:10Maddie is. Well, she sure was the makeup
54:12guru the other day, weren't you?
54:16So, make sure the makeup helps her
54:18facial expressions.
54:20All righty. All right. Let's go.
54:23I don't think Mackenzie is qualified to
54:25do makeup on six girls
54:28right before competition.
54:31Yeah, do one more little bit little bit
54:32darker. That's great. You did good. Just
54:35a little That's really dark, yeah. I'm
54:37excited that Mackenzie gets a special
54:39job for the competition. She's not
54:40dancing, so this is something special
54:42for her to do. Okay. Okay.
54:46This one here?
54:47Uh-huh.
54:54I think I did a pretty good job. It was
54:56hard, but I pulled it off. Did you do
54:59Kendall or I see her mother over there
55:00wiping off your work?
55:01No, I'm wiping off the lipstick that
55:03ended up up here by accident. She looks
55:05great. She did a great job.
55:08She's lying.
55:09Okay, Mad.
55:11Oh, I love it. I look like Cinderella.
55:15The girls look great and it's time to go
55:17out there and win. I need my soloists to
55:20beat Cathy.
55:22All right, let's do this.
55:25Right now it's time for the intimidation
55:27face. Nose up,
55:29chin out,
55:31confidence.
55:40All right, let's do this. Come on. Come
55:42on. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go.
55:43Go.
55:44Unhappy faces and
55:47unhappy face from her as well.
55:50Okay, Kendall has worked really hard on
55:52her facial expressions this week and I
55:55hope she goes out there and nails this
55:57number to remind Abby she should give
55:59her more solos. All right, here we go in
56:01the junior small group division. This is
56:04Kendall with Look
56:05at Me Now.
56:08GO KENDALL.
56:10WOO.
57:56STRAIGHT LEGS. COME ON.
58:26KENDALL LOOKED GREAT. She's shining
58:28bright and she deserves that.
58:34Maddie is under a lot of pressure right
58:35now. She hasn't gotten first place in
58:37the last few weeks and she wants to
58:39please Miss Abby. So, this is big big.
58:42This has to be a win for her.
58:50WOOHOO.
59:14IF
59:15MILES WERE ONLY
59:17EVENTS,
59:19MONTHS COULD
59:21take like seconds.
59:23It wouldn't
59:25be that easy
59:27for me.
59:31It wouldn't
59:33fill the
1:01:13Maddie has the makings of a star.
1:01:16Already, she performs like a seasoned
1:01:19professional. Take that, Cathy.
1:01:23Jaylen's solo is unlike any other
1:01:26routine at this competition. I just hope
1:01:28that he can make his costume changes
1:01:31because with this performance, we can
1:01:33win. All right. Up next in the junior
1:01:36solo division, we have Jaylen with
1:01:37working 9 to 5.
1:01:57Nice, Jaylen.
1:02:19Uh-oh. Jaylen couldn't get the costume
1:02:21change done and he's off the music.
1:02:25This is not good.
1:02:50Even after all of the special time that
1:02:52we made for Jaylen to rehearse the
1:02:54costume changes, he still misses it.
1:03:13Jay, you were good. There was nothing
1:03:16wrong with the handkerchief.
1:03:17going to win with this stupid
1:03:18performance.
1:03:19you did everything perfectly. What are
1:03:21you talking about? I'm sure that he's
1:03:23taking this slip-up really hard.
1:03:26He needs to just move on because he
1:03:28finished strong. It's possible that the
1:03:30judges won't even notice.
1:03:34You still knocked it out the box like a
1:03:36performer supposed to do. No one didn't
1:03:38know that wasn't in your routine. It is
1:03:40not your fault. Cuz I want to do good. I
1:03:43know you did.
1:03:44You didn't do good, you did great.
1:03:47Maddie, it's okay.
1:03:49It's all right.
1:03:55Good job, girls. GOOD JOB, GIRLS.
1:03:58GIRLS, HIGH FIVE.
1:04:00OH my god, THAT WAS SO GOOD. OH my
1:04:03goodness, amazing.
1:04:05How did it feel? Good. Good? Yes. What
1:04:09was the lesson this week? What did we
1:04:10need to improve? My face. Your face.
1:04:14Beautiful. Good job. Thank you. The Abby
1:04:16Lee Dance Company started out strong.
1:04:19Our solos were fabulous. I just hope
1:04:22this momentum stays strong for Chloe and
1:04:25Paige's duet.
1:04:31God, I wish I could wear something like
1:04:32that. If it was up to me, I wouldn't
1:04:34have Paige do this duet because I didn't
1:04:36like the way that Abby presented the
1:04:38duet. But, I know Paige wants to do it,
1:04:40so I just want Paige to go out there and
1:04:43dance her best.
1:04:49All right. Up next in the junior duet
1:04:51trio division, we have Paige and Chloe
1:04:53with Broadway Blonde.
1:06:22Despite all the negativity with this
1:06:24duet, I thought that Paige and Chloe
1:06:26went out there and they danced amazing.
1:06:28I thought they were together and they
1:06:30looked great.
1:06:33If I were Jill, I would get so tired of
1:06:36falling short of Maddie.
1:06:37I didn't have a dance, by the way. No, I
1:06:40didn't always fall short of Maddie.
1:06:41I were you, I'd really get tired of my
1:06:43kid falling short of Maddie.
1:06:44Your kid doesn't even dance. Well, you
1:06:46know what I'm not talking about you. You
1:06:47know what? You know what, MOUTH? I'M NOT
1:06:49TALKING about my kid, I'm talking about
1:06:52your kid.
1:06:52That's rude. And you're not rude?
1:06:54Going around throwing water on people's
1:06:56heads is completely protocol. Maybe if
1:06:59we threw some water on you, actually.
1:07:01It's excuse me.
1:07:02I'm not THE ONE THAT FELL DOWN the ugly
1:07:04tree and got hit by every branch. Yeah,
1:07:07look again, baby. And Jill, the next
1:07:08time you say something about Vivi, it's
1:07:10going to be your last time.
1:07:16Think about your own technique, your
1:07:18lines, your feet, your legs. Those knees
1:07:20squeeze together, Maddie. Contestants
1:07:22number 88, Candy Apple Style.
1:07:261 2 3
1:07:28Now, wait a minute. My god, we're like
1:07:30fumbling idiots. Finish your lines,
1:07:32girl. You're like clodhoppers. That foot
1:07:34banging on the ground. Develop pain
1:07:36tight in the back of the knee. 2 3 4 5 6
1:07:387 8
1:07:409
1:07:42Yay.
1:07:44Rosa Parks
1:07:47changed history. Thank goodness
1:07:50in 2013,
1:07:51we don't have segregation anymore.
1:07:53Yes?
1:07:55But, we do have winners and we have
1:07:57losers.
1:07:59It's all for a reason. It's all a
1:08:00purpose, you know?
1:08:02You guys are amazing talents, you know,
1:08:04with amazing abilities. So, let's go and
1:08:06shine. I got a quote from Alvin Ailey.
1:08:09There's nothing to prove, only to share.
1:08:11Cool? Yeah.
1:08:13well said. Well said. I'm begging you.
1:08:15Don't be the kid that screws this dance
1:08:16up. Do not.
1:08:19I want Nia to be present in the moment.
1:08:21Understand that
1:08:24there were people who made tremendous
1:08:26sacrifices so she could have an
1:08:27opportunity like this. And I want Nia to
1:08:31know that she can aspire to do whatever
1:08:33she sets her mind to and leave her own
1:08:36legacy.
1:08:37I couldn't be more proud.
1:08:40Come on.
1:08:50I think the guys stand a great chance of
1:08:52winning. Their costume with their, you
1:08:54know, with their performance. Four boys,
1:08:57competitions are full of little girls,
1:08:59so come on. These boys are going to have
1:09:01those girls screaming.
1:09:02All right. Up next in the junior small
1:09:04group division, we have entry number 88.
1:09:07This is Candy Apple Style.
1:10:56These boys nailed it. I know that no
1:10:58Abby routine could beat that.
1:11:02I'm kind of nervous. Cathy's boys did an
1:11:04amazing job, and everyone knows at dance
1:11:07competitions boys stand out. I mean, the
1:11:09crowd loves them, they're very
1:11:10entertaining, and girls are really a
1:11:12dime a dozen.
1:11:13You know, I know our girls are better
1:11:15dancers, but is it enough to beat boys?
1:11:18I'm not so sure.
1:11:20All right, ladies and gentlemen, we're
1:11:22ready to get started back up in the
1:11:23junior small group division. This is
1:11:25entry number 87 entitled Rosa Parks.
1:11:30It's not about wanting to win. It's
1:11:32about having to win. It's tough to get a
1:11:35group routine together, and we've been
1:11:37losing week after week.
1:11:41Don't say it. If you say it, you're
1:11:42Stop.
1:11:43If we don't win with this number,
1:11:45there might not be a group any longer.
1:11:48And I'm serious about that.
1:13:50Brooke, what are you doing? I think it
1:13:52looks good. What does it do what she's
1:13:54doing?
1:13:58WHAT DOES BROOKE DO?
1:14:03BROOKE WAS STANDING THERE ON STAGE like
1:14:08Brooke has been dancing longer than
1:14:09Maddie has been alive.
1:14:11When she's a wandering aimlessly on the
1:14:13stage, I'm thinking, how could she screw
1:14:15up a group like that? Brooke, it was
1:14:17your It was fake money.
1:14:18even think the judges noticed. You're
1:14:20fine. At least it wasn't the whole day.
1:14:21No, Abby didn't cheat.
1:14:23Before Brooke's big mistake on stage,
1:14:27I think we had this one in the bag. Now,
1:14:29I'm not too sure. I just hope the judges
1:14:32didn't notice.
1:14:37Here we go. In the elite junior solo
1:14:39division, in seventh place, February.
1:14:44In sixth place, Working 9 to 5.
1:14:51Payton's lesson to be learned today was
1:14:54never storm off stage. Never let them
1:14:56see you sweat. In third place, With
1:14:59Heart.
1:15:02In second place, entry number 22, Look
1:15:05at Me Now.
1:15:10Kendall came in second in the overalls.
1:15:12I thought she was amazing. I think she
1:15:14did everything that Abby asked of her.
1:15:16And in first place,
1:15:19entry number 34, Breaking Down Walls.
1:15:27Maddie has always been a winner, of
1:15:29course, in my eyes. But for the judges
1:15:31to validate that she won this time is
1:15:34huge for Maddie. She really needed this.
1:15:37Top 10 highest elite junior duet trio,
1:15:40in third place, entry number 67, Born to
1:15:44Hum.
1:15:46In second place, entry number 68,
1:15:49Puttin' on the Ritz.
1:15:53And in first place,
1:15:56for top 10 highest elite junior duet
1:15:59trio, entry number 72, Broadway Bound.
1:16:06I'm so happy that Chloe and Paige went
1:16:08out there and won, because if they would
1:16:10have went out there and lost, I I would
1:16:12have never heard the end of it from
1:16:14Abby. And I think that,
1:16:16you know, Paige went out there, and she
1:16:18made Abby eat crow, cuz she showed her
1:16:20that she can dance with Chloe.
1:16:22For highest elite junior small group,
1:16:25third place, entry number 81, Pure Love.
1:16:32Second place, entry number 88, Candy
1:16:35Apple Style.
1:16:41I can't breathe at this moment. Who is
1:16:43going to win?
1:16:45First place,
1:16:46entry number 87, Rosa Parks.
1:16:56First place,
1:16:57from
1:16:58Abby Lee Dance
1:17:06I had my doubts about Abby's
1:17:09choreography, whether she's going to be
1:17:10able to portray Rosa Parks in a 2-minute
1:17:13number. But there's a moment in the
1:17:15dance when Nia has to put herself down,
1:17:18and
1:17:19Maddie walks on her back, and I'm like,
1:17:22you know, it's just such a powerful
1:17:25symbolism. Abby did a a lovely job.
1:17:29Cathy doesn't shut her trap the whole
1:17:31day.
1:17:31Because she thought they were going to
1:17:33win.
1:17:35Cathy has been talking crap all
1:17:36competition. She has been in our face
1:17:39all day.
1:17:41Cat got your tongue now, Cathy?
1:17:43And that little boy whose dad never
1:17:46shuts up? Oh my god.
1:17:47Like his kid couldn't do half the dance,
1:17:49that's why he was off the stage. If it
1:17:51isn't hip hop, he can't do it. I
1:17:53personally think that dance dads are way
1:17:56worse than dance moms. And, you know,
1:17:58Payton's dad has definitely proved that.
1:18:01Jill, you know what you should go in
1:18:03there and say?
1:18:03No, I'm not going in there. Yes, you
1:18:05are. No.
1:18:07Last time we faced Cathy, there was a
1:18:09big fight, and I missed it. Now, I want
1:18:11a chance to go in there and gloat, and I
1:18:13want all the moms to come with me. If we
1:18:15all go together, we'll go. Melissa's all
1:18:17on board.
1:18:18We're all going to go in as a team.
1:18:20Melissa, are you going to say something?
1:18:22I was saying stuff to her in the in the
1:18:24All right, Melissa, we'll go in as long
1:18:26as you say something.
1:18:27I'm not saying anything.
1:18:29Melissa talks a lot of smack when
1:18:30Cathy's not around, but when Cathy's
1:18:32around, Melissa's all like, "Ooh, Cathy,
1:18:34I love your dress." If we go in, we have
1:18:36to go in as a team.
1:18:39And we have to stick up for one another.
1:18:41Should we all go with a bottle of water?
1:18:43No.
1:18:46I'm happy that we got what we got. We're
1:18:48not going to walk away losers, we're
1:18:50going to walk away that, you know, we're
1:18:51number two, we're going to try harder
1:18:53again.
1:18:54Wait a minute. Where are our bodyguards?
1:18:57They're not working VERY WELL THERE.
1:19:00WAIT A MINUTE. WAIT WAIT A MINUTE. Is
1:19:02this a mug shot lineup? One quarter turn
1:19:05to the right.
1:19:06Oh, ladies, when you do that quarter
1:19:08turn, suck 'em in. Suck 'em in. These
1:19:12moms are mistaken if they think that
1:19:14they can intimidate me.
1:19:16They may have a win today, but it's not
1:19:18going to happen again. Your son did 2
1:19:20minutes of the dance because obviously
1:19:21he can't do the the dancing portion of
1:19:23it. He can only do the hip hop. What has
1:19:25your child done outside of this on their
1:19:28own?
1:19:30Sumer has This kid has more talent in
1:19:32his little finger than your kid. Oh,
1:19:34wait a minute. She has a
1:19:35Because he can do more styles of dance.
1:19:37Yours can only spin on his head.
1:19:39Every time I've seen your kid, they do
1:19:40the exact same move. There's nothing
1:19:42different. Kelly's throwing a lot of
1:19:44stones for someone whose daughter forgot
1:19:46the routine. My routine had no mistakes.
1:19:50Oh, Kelly, how soon we forget. Cathy,
1:19:53maybe you should have spent the money on
1:19:54more lessons instead of improving the
1:19:56studio.
1:19:57Bye. Thank you. Always a pleasure.
1:20:07I feel like we should hug, too. So? I
1:20:10have one thing to say.
1:20:11Ding dong, the witch is dead. I think
1:20:13those are polar bears out there. They're
1:20:15not bodyguards. They're carrying that
1:20:17casket down the highway.
1:20:20Kendall,
1:20:22you were told to use your face. You used
1:20:23your face. That was your lesson this
1:20:25week. You did it, and look where you
1:20:27are.
1:20:28Maddie,
1:20:30you finally climbed that uphill battle.
1:20:32You knocked down the wall. First overall
1:20:35high score.
1:20:36Deservedly so. You were I thought you
1:20:38were brilliant today.
1:20:41All right. How about my duet?
1:20:44I told you we could do it. Yes. You were
1:20:47pretty sassy up there.
1:20:49What about the group?
1:20:53Brooke,
1:20:55were you just waiting at the bus stop
1:20:57for the bus?
1:21:00What? I don't know what happened up
1:21:02there, but the bus was moving, the bus
1:21:04was happening, and Brooke was just kind
1:21:06of standing at the bus stop waiting for
1:21:08everybody to get on the bus.
1:21:10What did she do? Nothing. That's the
1:21:12problem.
1:21:15Well, I just want you to know that I
1:21:17think that Rosa Parks would be very
1:21:18proud of you.
1:21:19Thank you. You did a great job. Great
1:21:21job.
1:21:22for giving her an opportunity.
1:21:23distraction from the bus stop here.
1:21:26I'm patting myself on the back cuz I did
1:21:28an outstanding job with the costuming. I
1:21:30knew we were coming to Ohio. I knew she
1:21:32was going to be here, and I just I just
1:21:34felt like I needed to pull out the stops
1:21:37because I was never going to let her get
1:21:40the best of us again. I'm just not going
1:21:41to do it. Cathy's mishmash applesauce is
1:21:44no match for a fully functioning ALDC.
1:21:49When we're on, we're unstoppable.
1:21:52Cathy's crazy. I mean, all the money she
1:21:54spends, all the money flying these boys
1:21:57in. The same thing with the
1:21:58choreographer, blah, blah, blah.
1:22:00Money can't buy talent.
1:22:03Moms, moms, I want positive energy. If
1:22:07you're going to badmouth me in your
1:22:08house, wait till your kid goes to sleep.
1:22:12Next on Dance Moms, Mackenzie, you are
1:22:14not in the group dance. Frankly, I don't
1:22:17think you can keep up.
1:22:18If the group dance messes up,
1:22:20it's on Mackenzie. What's got on your
1:22:21finger there?
1:22:23Wait, what?
1:22:26This is what she does to every week, and
1:22:27you've let her psych you out.
1:22:32What was that exit about?
1:22:35This is your team. These are your girls.
1:22:37This is your name on their backs. So,
1:22:39you have to give them some sort of
1:22:42I'm really nervous.
