- 0:38♪ Get up, get on the floor ♪
- 0:41♪ My world is with my girls ♪
- 0:44♪ Livin' on the dance floor. ♪

- 0:51SOPHIA: Hello!
- 0:52ABBY LEE: Hi, sweetie, how are you?
- 0:54Go ahead in.
- 0:54Okay.
- 0:55You can start warming up.
- 0:56ABBY LEE: Last week was really tough.
- 0:57I pulled a replacement team in.
- 0:59Hi.
- 0:59Go ahead right through
- 1:00into the den, and the girls can start stretching.
- 1:02Even though we got second,
- 1:04I would much rather work with these kids.
- 1:06Pretty soon, those old moms will just be
- 1:09a distant memory.
- 1:13Real dance moms are here.
- 1:18Melissa's a high-maintenance friend.
- 1:21Well...
- 1:22I realize now that the way Abby treats my girls
- 1:24is never gonna change.
- 1:26But they miss the studio, and they even miss Abby.
- 1:28I know the last person Abby wants to see is me,
- 1:31but the other moms won't come back without me,
- 1:33and all of our girls are dying to be at dance again.
- 1:35You're part of the team.
- 1:37That's the whole point of this whole thing.
- 1:38CHRISTI: It's great that Kelly wants to be back on the team.
- 1:41The problem is, it's too late.
- 1:43Abby's replaced us.
- 1:44And now we have to go crawling back to Abby,
- 1:46begging her to take us all back.
- 1:48I'm not signing a thing until your name is on it,
- 1:49and you're walking through the door.
- 1:49Oh, thank you.
- 1:50And I think we all need to stick to that.
- 1:50(laughs)
- 1:52(phone line ringing)
- 1:54SHELLY: Hello?
- 1:56Hi, Shelly? This is Abby.
- 1:58It's about a half an hour into rehearsal
- 2:00and I don't have Ally.
- 2:01She is not the kind of kid that's gonna be late.
- 2:03I'm calling to find out where Ally is.
- 2:05She was supposed to be here at 4:00.
- 2:08She is in New Orleans!
- 2:10All the way back home.
- 2:12How did this get screwed up?
- 2:20Your daughter came in second place--
- 2:22probably the reason the team came in second place--
- 2:25and now she's gonna come in and be mad,
- 2:27and you're just like, "It's all good."
- 2:31Ally could not
- 2:32be blamed for that group dance.
- 2:33She was magnificent.
- 2:35Give my best to Ally.
- 2:35Thank you.
- 2:36ABBY LEE: They were blaming her
- 2:38for the group dance coming in second? Crazy.
- 2:40Oh, my God.
- 2:42Here we go again.
- 2:43Same old story.
- 2:44Jealousy is
- 2:46an ugly disease.
- 2:47You can ask Christi.
- 2:48Girls... go head into the studio A,
- 2:50you can start warming up in there.
- 2:53I just got off the phone
- 2:55with Shelly.
- 2:56She said,
- 2:57"Those other two mothers
- 2:59"were telling my kid that
- 3:00she was the reason we lost the group."
- 3:02No.
- 3:04This is my livelihood.
- 3:05This is what I do.
- 3:05Well...
- 3:06I don't have a husband
- 3:08that has a million-dollar job.
- 3:09I don't... I don't do that.
- 3:11And the kid cried all the way home.
- 3:12These moms pushed one of my best dancers out.
- 3:15ABBY LEE: You know what?
- 3:16No more Mrs. Nice Guy.
- 3:18It's over.
- 3:19You two... are out.
- 3:22Glo, Marcia...
- 3:24Poof! Be gone.
- 3:26(crying): Why do we have to leave?
- 3:28Mom?
- 3:29You guys are the one that blamed it.
- 3:31Just don't fight.
- 3:32We want to stay. (sniffs)
- 3:33Apologize. Go say sorry.
- 3:36We did.
- 3:37We want this really badly, Mom.
- 3:40ABBY LEE: I can't believe this has all happened.
- 3:42I am left with one member
- 3:45of the Abby Lee Dance Company Elite Competition Team.
- 3:47♪ ♪
- 3:53All right, we'll take off now.
- 3:55ABBY LEE: You are the only
- 3:57one left.
- 3:59So when we go away this weekend,
- 4:00you need to win your division and
- 4:02you need to win the entire competition.
- 4:08I don't want to piss her off more...
- 4:10me walking in.
- 4:11MELISSA: See, you're dying.
- 4:12I'm dying. I think we need to go...
- 4:14let's move along.
- 4:15This is stupid.
- 4:18KELLY: Abby basically blames me for the team falling apart.
- 4:20So I think if I stay outside,
- 4:22we'll have a better chance at reconciliation.
- 4:25What are they doing?
- 4:27Oh, my God.
- 4:29I can't believe the same moms who quit
- 4:31for Kelly and her two kids
- 4:34are back in my parking lot again.
- 4:36But you know what?
- 4:37I just might have some openings.
- 4:39Ladies.
- 4:39(quietly): Contact.
- 4:40You come in and dance, or you leave.
- 4:43You don't loiter in the parking lot.
- 4:45Are we being invited in? Can we come in now?
- 4:47If you want to come, the door is open.
- 4:49JILL: All right, let's go.
- 4:49I'll come in. I'll walk with you.
- 4:51This isn't a church, Holly; it's a dance studio.
- 4:53HOLLY: I got God all on my side.
- 4:54He comes with me wherever I go.
- 4:56Yeah, you got God on your thighs, too.
- 4:57The moms quitting was their choice.
- 4:59They're quitters; that's what they do.
- 5:01That wasn't my choice.
- 5:02They walked out of here,
- 5:03and if they think...
- 5:09...that they're gonna walk back in,
- 5:10they have another thing coming.
- 5:11CHRISTI: Each year, Abby has us
- 5:13sign this stupid contract
- 5:15that locks us in for a year.
- 5:16And in that year, you can't
- 5:19leave her studio, you know, short of death.
- 5:22You will not get past this front desk
- 5:23without these being signed.
- 5:25Where's Kelly's?
- 5:26Kelly called me names,
- 5:27Kelly quit,
- 5:29Kelly boo-hooed and her kids are
- 5:31lazy slugs!
- 5:32JILL: We feel that
- 5:34Kelly is a part of our team.
- 5:34Jill...
- 5:36did you come here because Kelly's kids were here?
- 5:39You want to be loyal to somebody,
- 5:40it should be me.
- 5:41This is the hardest thing for me,
- 5:43because my kids want to dance,
- 5:45and I don't know how long I can hold off.
- 5:46ABBY LEE: You took Maddie
- 5:48and put her on the same level as the rest of those kids.
- 5:50We didn't.
- 5:52We worked our butts off with your kids.
- 5:56Make a decision.
- 5:57Well, I brought Kendall here to dance.
- 5:59I need her to dance,
- 6:01I want her to dance.
- 6:02That's my decision.
- 6:04ABBY LEE: Finished.
- 6:08Make a decision right now.
- 6:10You either choose the Abby Lee Dance Company,
- 6:12or you can go play with Brooke and Paige.
- 6:18Well, my kids are not
- 6:19gonna be playing. They're gonna be dancing.
- 6:23I...
- 6:25HOLLY: I'm disappointed in Melissa and Jill.
- 6:26We had worked so hard.
- 6:27It was like all of that was in vain.
- 6:29Time is ticking, ladies.
- 6:30CHRISTI: At this point, I think Holly and I
- 6:32have really done as much as we can do.
- 6:34We have said we're not going back in without Kelly,
- 6:36and Abby's like, "So? Don't let the door
- 6:37hit you in the ass on the way out."
- 6:39All right, let's do it.
- 6:41Okay. Give us the contract.
- 6:42CHRISTI: I think Kelly
- 6:43needs to go in and fight for herself and her daughters.
- 6:46CHRISTI: So if Kelly comes to you
- 6:47and they say that they want to be
- 6:48back on this team, you would listen?
- 6:50I would certainly listen to them.
- 6:54KELLY: I just want
- 6:55today to be the last day for this.
- 6:56She made us sign the contract.
- 6:58KELLY: I am gonna go in there and I am gonna get my kids
- 7:01back on the team.
- 7:03Hi, Kelly, how are you?
- 7:04Good. How are you?
- 7:05So why do you want to come back?
- 7:07You hate it here.
- 7:07I don't want to come back.
- 7:08My kids want to come back.
- 7:10But...
- 7:10And every single mother...
- 7:12in the group, and kid in the group,
- 7:13wants us here.
- 7:14You called me a whore,
- 7:16you made fun of my weight,
- 7:17you gave me the finger.
- 7:18And you called my kids stupid.
- 7:20They are.
- 7:21But...
- 7:21They make dumb choices.
- 7:22Abby, I don't want to argue with you anymore.
- 7:24I want you to get over the (bleep)
- 7:26that happened with us 30 years ago,
- 7:27and treat my kids like you treat
- 7:29everybody else in this studio.
- 7:30That's what I want.
- 7:32Well, I don't want your kids to be mediocre.
- 7:34I want them to be amazing.
- 7:35And if they're not willing to be amazing,
- 7:36then... hit the door.
- 7:38KELLY: I don't know what the woman wants me to say.
- 7:41I mean, my kids want to be back on the team,
- 7:43they tried out for the team,
- 7:44they made it...
- 7:45They should be on the team.
- 7:50JILL: So here we are,
- 7:51we show up to class...
- 7:53In walks Jaclyn,
- 7:54straight off of the streets of L.A.
- 7:57Skinny, skinny, skinny, gorgeous...
- 7:59but it's obvious she does not fit in
- 8:01with our team of dance moms.
- 8:03Well, well, well.
- 8:05Here we all are again.
- 8:10KELLY: You know, I've just come to the decision,
- 8:12as hard as it's gonna be for me to go in there
- 8:14and kiss up to that woman,
- 8:15I'm going to do it.
- 8:17Here's your contract.
- 8:19Get in there, girls.
- 8:24ABBY LEE: Kelly hands me her contract without a peep.
- 8:26There it is, signed, her signature.
- 8:29Now let's just see if she can keep that mouth shut.
- 8:32Ladies,
- 8:34last week, we went to a competition
- 8:36in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
- 8:37There were over a thousand people there
- 8:40just to see the Abby Lee Dance Company.
- 8:43While you all were
- 8:44out in the parking lot,
- 8:45Sophia was in here, learning.
- 8:49As you can clearly see,
- 8:50we don't have a pyramid here.
- 8:56Chloe,
- 8:57Nia,
- 8:58Maddie,
- 9:00Mackenzie,
- 9:01Kendall,
- 9:03you all realize...
- 9:10...with the exception of Sophia,
- 9:11that you are on probation.
- 9:14You are all
- 9:17on the same playing field.
- 9:18KELLY: Abby chooses
- 9:19one kid in the studio that she focuses on.
- 9:22Now Maddie did something to piss Abby off,
- 9:25and now she's moving on to somebody else.
- 9:26That's what all of you wanted.
- 9:28You didn't like the pyramid, moms.
- 9:29You want all the kids to be treated equal.
- 9:32That's what you got.
- 9:34CHRISTI: Chloe's worked her butt off for Abby,
- 9:36and she won a national title, and now Abby's gonna
- 9:38replace her with some girl off the street?
- 9:42Jackie, you're okay
- 9:43with your kid being a winner.
- 9:44I know
- 9:46that I can count on her,
- 9:47that she's a team player.
- 9:49And, Jackie, I watched you in the dressing room.
- 9:51I watched you help everybody with their hair.
- 9:53I watched you be kind
- 9:55to all the other women,
- 9:56and I appreciate that.
- 9:59Thank you.
- 9:59KELLY: Jackie seems like
- 10:00she's this perfect mom,
- 10:02but I've heard a lot of things about her,
- 10:04and I don't know, she doesn't seem so perfect.
- 10:07This week, we are going to Ohio.
- 10:10The group routine is called "Red Carpet Special."
- 10:13It's a really sassy, hot,
- 10:15funky number.
- 10:16Sophia,
- 10:18you are doing a solo
- 10:19called "Superstar."
- 10:21I think you did an outstanding job last week,
- 10:23and I want to see a repeat of the same thing.
- 10:25It is not fair that Sophia gets a solo this week.
- 10:27Our girls work their butts off,
- 10:29and they die for solos every week.
- 10:34How many turns do you do?
- 10:35Fifty-four.
- 10:37Why do I want somebody that can only do 53?
- 10:39I would prefer not to take any other solos,
- 10:42but I committed
- 10:44to attend the competition,
- 10:45so we're going.
- 10:47Not one of these kids deserves a solo,
- 10:49but I have no choice.
- 10:51So I'm gonna take
- 10:52my national champion and see
- 10:54how much she's regressed.
- 10:58My next solo will be... Chloe.
- 11:00It's contemporary.
- 11:03You are the national titleholder,
- 11:05and you want to keep it up?
- 11:07Then you have to keep winning.
- 11:08CHRISTI: Surprise, surprise,
- 11:09Abby gives Chloe a solo,
- 11:11not as a reward, but as a punishment,
- 11:13because she's gonna make her dance against Sophia.
- 11:15I want to direct my attention to the moms.
- 11:17I need to see your loyalty
- 11:21for what I'm doing for your children.
- 11:22You will have assignments,
- 11:24and you're gonna do a whole lot more
- 11:27than sit on your butts upstairs in my studio.
- 11:29CHRISTI: Did she forget
- 11:31that we're the ones who pay her to teach our kids dance?
- 11:33We have other children and other responsibilities,
- 11:35and you are not in charge of us.
- 11:38ABBY LEE: Ooh.
- 11:40Who has their nose up in the air?
- 11:42They need to volunteer a little bit,
- 11:44and if they don't want to,
- 11:46out the door.
- 11:53ABBY LEE: Ladies, spread apart.
- 11:55We have lots of work to do.
- 11:57This is all about being superstars.
- 12:01Being celebrities.
- 12:03Being on the red carpet.
- 12:04Everybody wants to take your picture.
- 12:05Everybody wants your autograph.
- 12:07So that's what the piece is about.
- 12:10You know, this team, they think they're all back together again.
- 12:13I was left with absolutely no team.
- 12:15Sophia stepped in
- 12:17and saved the day.
- 12:19She's a star,
- 12:20and they all better get used to it.
- 12:23Be grateful
- 12:25that Sophia has come to Pittsburgh
- 12:26and joined our group.
- 12:29It's like going from...
- 12:30mediocre to flying first class.
- 12:33CHLOE: Miss Abby kept saying
- 12:35how much... how much better Sophia was than all of us,
- 12:40and that gave me a purpose to work really hard
- 12:42to show Miss Abby
- 12:43one day I will be as good as Sophia.
- 12:45I-I wanted to see...
- 12:47How many pirouettes? 58?
- 12:49I think she can do 54.
- 12:50Fifty-four.
- 12:50In tap shoes.
- 12:51I want to see it.
- 12:51In tap shoes.
- 12:53KELLY: That's a reflection
- 12:55on the teacher.
- 12:56Like, she can say to our kids
- 12:57"You can't turn,"
- 12:58but she doesn't like when I say to her,
- 13:00"Well, you can't teach them to turn then."
- 13:02Obviously, 'cause my kids have been here
- 13:04since they've been two and a half.
- 13:05I think she's fabulous.
- 13:07Right.
- 13:08And she's gonna beat our kids every time.
- 13:09We understand that.
- 13:11KELLY: Melissa and Christi,
- 13:12they're not feeling so welcoming
- 13:13to this woman.
- 13:15Get used to it.
- 13:16Your kid's not always gonna be the best.
- 13:18JILL: Why do you need to do 58 pirouettes in tap shoes?
- 13:20There's a world record, continuous pirouettes.
- 13:22So,
- 13:24is she a world record holder?
- 13:26She consistently can break the record.
- 13:27All these girls are really good.
- 13:29They're all stars.
- 13:30Jaclyn's trying really hard
- 13:31to come across as the picture-perfect mom,
- 13:34and the dance mom who doesn't get involved in all the drama,
- 13:36but I have friends in California, too,
- 13:39and they have warned me about her.
- 13:41She's not all she seems.
- 13:43I read some of the things that you wrote online
- 13:45about a little girl named Mia
- 13:46in Miami, and it wasn't very kind.
- 13:48So I'm glad that you're at least being kind to our children.
- 13:51I would never write anything about Mia.
- 13:52Oh, it was written from you
- 13:53about a little girl in Miami
- 13:55who you said-- who is amazing--
- 13:57who you said, "Who cares?
- 13:59"Why another contest about her?
- 14:00She's not even that good."
- 14:01I didn't write that.
- 14:01So I'm just grateful...
- 14:03Well, okay, then I must have faulty reading.
- 14:09No, I heard that, too, actually.
- 14:10Yeah, but you know,
- 14:11you hear a lot of things, but that's not true.
- 14:15ABBY LEE: Chloe, listen to me.
- 14:17The name of the music is "Another Girl."
- 14:19Whether the other girl's in your mind,
- 14:22whether she really exists,
- 14:23whether it's you...
- 14:25I know Chloe can relate to this.
- 14:26This song, "Another Girl," is about being left
- 14:30in the shadows of some kid
- 14:32that's famous and popular.
- 14:33First it was Maddie, now it's Sophia.
- 14:36Up, ball change,
- 14:37step up.
- 14:38Okay.
- 14:40You got that? All right, I'll be back.
- 14:42I have an acro private,
- 14:43but I'll come back during the whole break.
- 14:45Abby's already made it abundantly clear
- 14:47that Sophia's the only person that matters,
- 14:49but to cut Chloe's solo rehearsal short
- 14:51to have an acro private with Sophia
- 14:53is simply below the belt.
- 14:55Abby thinks she's an amazing superstar,
- 14:58and she loves her, and they have this great relationship,
- 15:00and she's a breath of fresh air, blah, blah, blah,
- 15:03but our kids have been beaten down for years.
- 15:05I think this is one week
- 15:07that Melissa and Maddie are thinking,
- 15:09"Thank God."
- 15:09"Thank God I don't have a solo."
- 15:12Melissa and Abby are buddy-buddy,
- 15:13and everybody knows that Melissa will do
- 15:16whatever it takes
- 15:18to have her kids number one in Abby's eyes.
- 15:21Oh, yeah, that is over, Chloe.
- 15:27What are you people doing?
- 15:29I've probably cleaned this place out 12 times
- 15:31'cause it was filthy.
- 15:32Being Abby's slaves?
- 15:33And Melissa, you're taking out garbage?
- 15:35I always do anyway, even when I do...
- 15:37Melissa, don't take out the garbage.
- 15:39I always did.
- 15:41Don't.
- 15:41MELISSA: Maddie and Mackenzie
- 15:42were always Abby's favorite.
- 15:44And if I have to take the trash out
- 15:46or clean outside, um, I'm fine with that because
- 15:49I just don't want Abby to be mad at us anymore.
- 15:51Back walkover to one knee.
- 15:53Simple.
- 15:54(squeaky): Arms up by your ears.
- 15:56CHRISTI: We need to do
- 15:57some sort of initiation at competition.
- 15:59Like what?
- 16:01Well, she's really good like, she's good at guarding.
- 16:02Like, Jill, I could get a little at,
- 16:04you know, and she'd... (speaks gibberish)
- 16:10This one's a little bit more like, she's well-practiced.
- 16:14I think everyone here is a little annoyed
- 16:16that Jackie waltzes in, you know,
- 16:17with her perfect little dancer
- 16:18and their perfect little costumes,
- 16:19and their perfect little makeup.
- 16:20I don't think anybody would be overly annoyed
- 16:22if they packed up their perfect little suitcases
- 16:24and hit the road.
- 16:25I don't know what we could do.
- 16:26I'm not good at that kind of stuff.
- 16:28Oh, we could put E-6000 in her eyelash glue
- 16:30'cause she's wearing eyelashes.
- 16:32Oh, my God, we can't do that.
- 16:33My God, she could go blind.
- 16:36I want her to be a triple threat and then some.
- 16:39What can we do to her?
- 16:40She's gonna do tumbling, she's gonna do acrobatics,
- 16:44she's gonna do contortion work.
- 16:45We could roofie her drink.
- 16:46Oh, God! No!
- 16:48My God! You're mean!
- 16:50I'm not gonna, like, roofie her and have her have to go
- 16:53to the hospital and get her stomach pumped.
- 16:54You're evil!
- 16:57Maybe I'm just going 'cause I've been roofied before.
- 17:07ABBY LEE: Girls...
- 17:08you're supposed to be in A.
- 17:09Gianna's already in there. Let's go.
- 17:10Come on. I don't know why you're acting like it's a picnic.
- 17:12We're gonna be on a bus
- 17:14in a few hours, going to a competition.
- 17:15I am really nervous
- 17:16about this week's competition.
- 17:18To get five kids who have been sitting in a parking lot
- 17:20back in the studio and back in sync with each other,
- 17:23that is my goal.
- 17:25And right now they're all over the place.
- 17:27So I guess Abby didn't get a good night's sleep.
- 17:30She was a little crabby this morning.
- 17:31I think Abby needs more than a good night's sleep.
- 17:33She needs a good roll in the hay!
- 17:34That's exactly what I'm saying, Jill.
- 17:37Ribs right, left.
- 17:39Right, left.
- 17:40Is Abby married now?
- 17:40(laughs)
- 17:42I said, "Maybe if Abby was thin, she could find a man,"
- 17:46and Kelly's response was, "It doesn't matter how thin she is,
- 17:49she's still a giant bitch."
- 17:49Oh!
- 17:53KELLY: I think Abby's actually very pretty.
- 17:55She... Yeah.
- 17:55It's her... it's her attitude.
- 17:58Gianna, do you think you can run up and tell
- 17:59Sophia's mom that I really want her to watch
- 18:01and not be chitchatting with the other moms?
- 18:04I think that Sophia has been sent to me
- 18:07by the dance gods.
- 18:08My moms drove one kid
- 18:09after another away from my company.
- 18:12I've had it. It's not gonna happen with these new moms.
- 18:16Not on my watch.
- 18:17Would you want to live with her?
- 18:19Abby just wanted to make sure
- 18:20that you were watching the warm-up.
- 18:22Okay. All right. Thank you.
- 18:24All right, Sophia, you're up.
- 18:26(dance intro begins)
- 18:27♪ I'll be dancing on the floor... ♪
- 18:34ABBY LEE: This number is jam-packed full of difficulty.
- 18:37And Sophia uses that face, she uses that style
- 18:40she hits every accent in the music.
- 18:44Really have to stretch that knee.
- 18:46Feel like I'm pulling it.
- 18:49MADDIE: It's kind of hard not to be jealous of her when I watch her
- 18:52because even though she's my age...
- 18:54she can do 54 turns, and I can't.
- 18:57So, do you get up every morning
- 18:58and do the stretches before she goes to school?
- 19:00She goes to homeschool.
- 19:01I know, but you take her to school?
- 19:01I do, yeah.
- 19:03Right now, we're going Mondays and Fridays.
- 19:05That's all you have to go to school, two days?
- 19:07Between two to four, yeah.
- 19:08You're killing me over here.
- 19:10Holly's the educator.
- 19:10I know. I will make sure
- 19:12we have at least two hours before we go to dance.
- 19:14So, like, if she goes to school from 9:00 to 11:00,
- 19:16then I'll get her home by 11:30,
- 19:18and then she stretches from 11:30 to 1:30
- 19:20and we'll have a 2:00 rehearsal.
- 19:22Every day.
- 19:23Sophia only goes to school two hours a week.
- 19:25Our girls actually go to school full-time,
- 19:27and then they come to dance.
- 19:28It's kinda sad.
- 19:30Thanks for doing your turns for us.
- 19:32Yep.
- 19:36I appreciate it.
- 19:37I'm really serious.
- 19:39I think that I'm gonna ask you and your mom
- 19:41if you could do a senior company turn class.
- 19:45When I... but...
- 19:47sometimes I'll teach the little kids at our studio,
- 19:49and I'm really mean to them.
- 19:51You're really mean?
- 19:51Yeah.
- 19:52I like mean. I'm really mean, too.
- 19:55(both laughing)
- 19:59Moms!
- 20:01Yes?
- 20:02ABBY LEE: I let these kids
- 20:03back on my team.
- 20:04Now the least their mothers can do
- 20:06is roll up their sleeves and do a little work for me.
- 20:10Where are the counts for the pictures?
- 20:12We didn't count them because you have staff members
- 20:14that you pay to do your job.
- 20:16We pay you to teach our kids dance.
- 20:19Christi, can you really not count that high?
- 20:21No, I can't, Abby.
- 20:22See? I'm the product of a public school.
- 20:24Good thing I wasn't homeschooled.
- 20:25I wouldn't be able to even count to ten.
- 20:27KELLY: Oh, my God, like, Christi is not giving up on Jackie.
- 20:31She's calling her out on being homeschooled?
- 20:33I just think Christi
- 20:35doesn't want her on the team.
- 20:37♪ The days are shorter... ♪
- 20:42She's choreographing again,
- 20:4330 minutes before we get on the bus.
- 20:45I did not realize that. I thought it was finished.
- 20:47That gives me anxiety.
- 20:48No, no, we learn on the day we leave.
- 20:51In this case...
- 20:51Hello. My daughter's learning her solo
- 20:53when we're going to get on a bus.
- 20:54It's not three days before, it's the day of.
- 20:57Abby is clearing setting Chloe up to fail.
- 20:59She knows that none of the girls on our team are even
- 21:03at the same level as Sophia.
- 21:05♪ ♪
- 21:08Shoulders down!
- 21:10My daughter looks defeated.
- 21:12HOLLY: Why is she... Do you think she's upset?
- 21:14Yeah, I know she is. Look at her. She's trying...
- 21:15MELISSA: Yep. She's fighting it.
- 21:18CHLOE: I'm feeling pressure to go up against Sophia
- 21:19since she's a very good dancer.
- 21:21Now I feel like I have to work especially hard
- 21:23so that I don't let down the group.
- 21:27CHRISTI: Took what out on you?
- 21:31I'm sorry that you get the brunt.
- 21:33I'm sorry that all of you guys get the brunt of it.
- 21:36You don't deserve it. You're little girls.
- 21:37I am sorry that Abby takes out her anger with me on you.
- 21:40That's not fair.
- 21:42Abby, I hate to break it to you,
- 21:43but if you really have a problem with us not doing
- 21:46all your little tasks, you need to come to us
- 21:47and stop sending messages through our children.
- 21:49Don't go in the den and sit and talk.
- 21:50If you can't control your own mouth,
- 21:52come into A and start working.
- 21:54Gianna was in here that whole time waiting for you.
- 21:57And you're in the den, sitting, talking... (gibbering)
- 22:00You're gonna be going to a competition
- 22:01where there's some of the best schools
- 22:03you ever compete against.
- 22:04People that did the group dance are not good enough.
- 22:08So you need to step up your game
- 22:10or bow out gracefully.
- 22:11They look nervous to me.
- 22:13MELISSA: Yeah. You know what?
- 22:14I thought so, too, from the get-go.
- 22:16CHRISTI: Yeah, there's something going on out there
- 22:17'cause they're all....
- 22:19ABBY LEE: Moms!
- 22:20Oh, geez.
- 22:20Oh, my God.
- 22:21I don't want to judge.
- 22:22The kids look horrible.
- 22:25They can't even do the choreography I'm giving them.
- 22:28And I have way too many kids in this number. It's a mess.
- 22:32There are too many people in this dance.
- 22:34We are auditioning for this routine.
- 22:36You're gonna play casting director.
- 22:38So you are looking for the best team to go out on stage
- 22:42and do this routine.
- 22:44She cuts Maddie and Mackenzie--
- 22:46I think they're gonna be devastated.
- 22:48If you're casting a five-year-old,
- 22:51maybe you're just gonna keep Mackenzie.
- 22:53If you're casting The Lion King,
- 22:56maybe the only one you're gonna keep is Nia.
- 23:04Here we go again with Abby typecasting Nia.
- 23:07Are they drawing your eye because they were amazing,
- 23:09or are they drawing your eye because they were late
- 23:12or they were sloppy?
- 23:13Of course, anybody watching their own daughters dance
- 23:16are gonna pick their daughters.
- 23:18They have them on this team
- 23:19because they want them to compete.
- 23:21So of course we're not gonna tell you to take our kid
- 23:24out of the group dance for the competition.
- 23:26I mean, we'd be stupid.
- 23:27♪ ♪
- 23:36Christi could not...
- 23:39would not...
- 23:42look at Sophia.
- 23:44Christi, if you want to sit there and not watch that kid
- 23:47and pretend that she doesn't exist, that's stupid.
- 23:51That's stupid.
- 23:51I was watching.
- 23:52You can't command where my eyeballs went.
- 23:54I don't want to command anything. I'm just telling you
- 23:57that you're foolish not to learn from people
- 23:58that are better than you. That's how you get better.
- 24:01Brooke, you just seem like a day late and a dollar short.
- 24:04Maddie, I think before Sophia was here,
- 24:06you hit those accents.
- 24:08Mackenzie, it's fine.
- 24:10It's good. It's on par.
- 24:15I need to think about what's best for the group.
- 24:18If I ask each of your mothers who they think should be in
- 24:20the dance first, they're all gonna say each of your names.
- 24:23Even though they may think differently, they're gonna
- 24:26go with their own kid.
- 24:27They cannot be objective, can you?
- 24:30No.
- 24:35Brooke, you're out.
- 24:40KELLY: Mackenzie's smaller than them
- 24:41and she's not at the same technical level as them.
- 24:43So, to me, it would only make sense to get rid of Mackenzie.
- 24:46But of course, she's gonna get rid of my kid
- 24:48because she hates me.
- 24:49I just want to let y'all know I think
- 24:51some of your kids are in a little bit of trouble this weekend.
- 24:53We're getting on a bus.
- 24:54We are going to a competition.
- 24:56There are going to be people there
- 24:58doing their routines from last year.
- 25:00Everyone is out to beat the Abby Lee Dance Company.
- 25:03I don't think Sophia should be worried.
- 25:04I think that group dance should be worried.
- 25:07I think the soloist should be worried.
- 25:09HOLLY: I think it's been
- 25:10a very tense few days.
- 25:12Your fault. Your fault, your fault,
- 25:14No.
- 25:14your fault, your fault. Yes.
- 25:15Maybe if Abby hadn't
- 25:16replaced Brooke and Paige, you know,
- 25:18we wouldn't have had to protest.
- 25:20We wouldn't have had to sit in the parking lot.
- 25:27She wouldn't have had to bring in a replacement team,
- 25:29and our girls would be prepared this week.
- 25:31I think everyone here
- 25:33is thankful for the experience that they have had
- 25:35and for the dance training.
- 25:36Our children dance.
- 25:37They don't know how lucky they are.
- 25:39But pointing fingers right now
- 25:40is really not getting us anywhere,
- 25:42and trying to belittle children
- 25:43by saying they're ungrateful...
- 25:44They are.
- 25:44They are not.
- 25:45They don't even know what they have.
- 25:46That's-that's...
- 25:46I don't need
- 25:48to belittle your children.
- 25:49They do it all on their own.
- 25:50Shut your mouth!
- 25:52We have pulled out miracles making these kids look good.
- 25:56Let's just go. Let's stop fighting and try to be a team
- 25:58just for this weekend.
- 25:59You came in at a really tense time.
- 26:09(crowd screaming excitedly)
- 26:11Hey! Thank you for coming! Thank you!
- 26:18Whoa.
- 26:20I'm nervous, and I don't like to be nervous.
- 26:27We're going back to In10sity Dance,
- 26:29but it's in Ohio.
- 26:31Some of the toughest schools in the country are in Ohio,
- 26:34and we're coming in with a brand-new number
- 26:36with a new dancer.
- 26:37Am I out of my mind?
- 26:39Yes, some would say
- 26:41that I am out of my mind.
- 26:43Girls, listen.
- 26:45Those kids recognize you
- 26:48because you are national champions.
- 26:50Do you understand that?
- 26:53If you were the losers, I don't think a thousand people
- 26:56would be downstairs to get your autograph and your picture.
- 26:59This team
- 27:00needs to get right back to that same exact place
- 27:04when they won the national championship.
- 27:06Sophia, come on.
- 27:08Get out here.
- 27:11Hopefully all eyes will be on Sophia.
- 27:13Everybody wants to be a superstar.
- 27:16Everybody wants to be Sophia.
- 27:19CHRISTI: Abby is rehearsing Sophia
- 27:21while Chloe, who is Abby's student,
- 27:23is in the corner, rehearsing on her own.
- 27:25ABBY LEE: Two, three.
- 27:27Illusion, illusion.
- 27:30Just, you've been here, what, two weeks,
- 27:32and I'm already getting phone calls.
- 27:34Hey, I heard you have this kid, da-da-da-da.
- 27:37All right? So be that superstar.
- 27:39Step out there and own that stage.
- 27:41Got it?
- 27:45MELISSA: This is a really strange competition
- 27:46for us because Abby's really not paying attention
- 27:49to any of our children.
- 27:50All right?
- 27:51Okay, everybody ready?
- 27:53Game faces.
- 27:55(applause, cheering)

- 31:25she might have been good.
- 31:26Good job, Chloe.
- 31:26Nice job.
- 31:29Good job, Sophia.
- 31:29Here, come sit up here by me.
- 31:33You let me down?
- 31:35No, you didn't.
- 31:37No, Chloe, you never let me down.
- 31:39I'm just proud of you.
- 31:40You know, you win some, you lose some.
- 31:44No biggie.
- 31:45You were amazing, okay?
- 31:47Don't cry.
- 31:48No matter what happens next, you keep your chin up.
- 31:51Chloe dances, she's telling a story,
- 31:52and she opens her heart,
- 31:54and she draws you in, and I think that that sincerity
- 31:56is why people like to watch Chloe dance.
- 32:03(whispering): Very good.
- 32:04Thank you.
- 32:04Excellent, yes.
- 32:06First of all,
- 32:08the director of the competition and everything
- 32:10are freaking out about you,
- 32:12and they are just going insane.
- 32:14The glissade before the straddle.
- 32:17You know exactly what I'm talking about?
- 32:19Okay, and you're gonna fix it?
- 32:21Okay, that's it. Otherwise,
- 32:23great performer, and she is smart enough
- 32:25she knows when she's falling out of a turn
- 32:27to get out of it and move on.
- 32:29Not to ever let us see a bobble.
- 32:31CHRISTI: How dare you, Abby,
- 32:32after my little girl just went out there
- 32:34and danced her heart out for you.
- 32:35Chloe deserves better than this,
- 32:36and I am not putting up with it any longer.
- 32:44ABBY LEE: We're here at In10sity in Ohio.
- 32:46All I have left is the group number.
- 32:48I'm hoping with these amazing costumes
- 32:50and the fabulous hairdos
- 32:51and all the different looks on the kids,
- 32:53that I'm just gonna confuse those judges,
- 32:55and they're gonna think it's spectacular.
- 32:57(whooping)
- 32:58Look at my hair!
- 33:00Oh, my.
- 33:02My daughter.
- 33:03Fancy.
- 33:05I'm watching all the girls get ready,
- 33:07and you know, all the moms
- 33:09are doing everybody's hair,
- 33:11and they're getting in their costumes,
- 33:12and I just really feel bad that Brooke isn't here.
- 33:15Like, our team is not complete without Brooke.
- 33:20I think that,
- 33:22you know... I've made my first step.
- 33:25Okay.
- 33:27I got
- 33:28Paige back on the team.
- 33:30And I'm gonna do whatever I need to do to get Brooke back here.
- 33:35I don't want to cry.
- 33:36This is a happy day 'cause I'm back.
- 33:39ABBY LEE: Girls, when you get out on stage
- 33:41and you walk that red carpet,
- 33:43you can have all the fame and glory in the world,
- 33:45and somebody comes out that's better than you,
- 33:47you're yesterday's news.
- 33:49Let's go.
- 33:52The biggest concern of mine is the carpet.
- 33:53Because the girls have not practiced one time with it.
- 33:57That's my biggest, biggest concern.
- 34:01ANNOUNCER: All right, ladies and gentleman, here we go.
- 34:03This is entry number 38-- this is entitled
- 34:06"Red Carpet Special."
- 34:07(audience cheering)
- 34:11ABBY LEE: Uh-uh, what's wrong?
- 34:14That stupid red carpet.
- 34:16It's like Abby's sabotaging our girls.
- 34:20KELLY: Abby and her props.
- 34:22You know, any time she has a prop,
- 34:25it's a disaster-- and the poor kid.
- 34:27She's pulling and she's pulling
- 34:29and the carpet won't go.
- 34:34So, the red carpet didn't go well,
- 34:37because when I was pulling it out,
- 34:39the string kept getting caught under the carpet.
- 34:41ANNOUNCER: Don't feel bad--
- 34:43the same thing happened at my wedding.
- 34:47ABBY LEE: Uh-oh, uh-oh,
- 34:49straighten it out, straighten it...

- 35:53ANNOUNCER: That is entry number 38, "Red Carpet Special."
- 35:56JILL: This number was not well thought out.
- 36:00Abby literally threw it together,
- 36:02threw the red carpet down,
- 36:03and threw our kids on stage.
- 36:06I'm a little nervous that maybe they won't
- 36:08even place in this competition.
- 36:13ANNOUNCER: All right, all right.
- 36:14Who's ready for some awards?
- 36:17(applause)
- 36:19All right,
- 36:20our elite junior solo division of competition.
- 36:25Fourth place with a score of 277 points is Miss Delaney
- 36:28with act number 28, "Move Your Feet."
- 36:32Your second runner-up, ladies and gentlemen,
- 36:34with a score of 281.3 points...
- 36:40...is...
- 36:44...Miss Chloe with act number 25 "Another Girl."
- 36:48CHRISTI: I'm a little surprised
- 36:50Chloe got second runner-up--
- 36:51I thought she was beautiful
- 36:52and elegant on stage, but considering that
- 36:53Abby only paid attention to Sophia this week,
- 36:55I'm really proud of Chloe.
- 36:58Highest scoring elite junior soloist
- 37:00with a score of 284.1 points
- 37:03is Miss Sophia
- 37:05with act number 18 "Superstar."
- 37:07ABBY LEE: There was no doubt in my mind that Sophia
- 37:10would win this whole thing.
- 37:11If the dance team wants to beat somebody like Sophia,
- 37:15they'd better get busy.
- 37:17ANNOUNCER: Okay, so the judges selected routines that they just
- 37:20really loved from the day.
- 37:25Hi, everybody.
- 37:26There's something so humble and heartwarming
- 37:28about this dancer and I hope she
- 37:30never, ever, ever loses it because it's very, very special.
- 37:37This is to another girl,
- 37:39Chloe.
- 37:41(cheering)
- 37:44CHLOE: One judge specifically gave me
- 37:45an expressive heart award.
- 37:48And that was something really special,
- 37:50and it was a really
- 37:51good moment for me.
- 37:55My job as a mom is to raise someone that I not only love
- 37:58but I like-- and I really like the person that Chloe is.
- 38:01To me, that's more important
- 38:04than any first place trophy ever.
- 38:08ANNOUNCER: We're jumping right into
- 38:09elite junior small group.
- 38:11KELLY: I'm really nervous for the group number.
- 38:13ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentlemen,
- 38:14your highest scoring elite junior small group...
- 38:17KELLY: I just want first place so we can look
- 38:20at Abby and say, "We're your team."
- 38:24With a score of 280.8 points...
- 38:30...is act number 38 "Red Carpet Special."
- 38:34(whooping and cheering)
- 38:38Congratulations to all of our elite junior small groups.
- 38:42We just went and once again won first place.
- 38:45I just want to make a comment.
- 38:47Last week, the group wasn't here and they got second.
- 38:50This week, the group was all together
- 38:52♪ And we got first! ♪
- 38:54Good job.
- 38:54Hey, ladies!
- 38:57Hey!
- 38:57Good job.
- 38:59Thank you!
- 38:59Aw...
- 39:01I was proud of what the judge said about you.
- 39:03And I'm glad I got third and not second,
- 39:06so that Miss Abby can't say, "Second is the first to lose."
- 39:11Does somebody care this poor, sad child
- 39:13and what she just said?
- 39:14CHRISTI: It's kind of sad that
- 39:15the girls can't even work hard
- 39:17and strive for a goal other than first place.
- 39:22You know, there's more to life than winning, Ab,
- 39:23and you should know that more than anyone.
- 39:27(whoops) Can we talk about the group dance?
- 39:31I'm glad the judges weren't looking at all those mistakes.
- 39:33HOLLY: Part of me feels like she was disappointed
- 39:37that they got first.
- 39:39Sophia, outstanding-- high score
- 39:42of the entire competition.
- 39:44All right, Chloe.
- 39:46Hot mess.
- 39:47Flexibility is getting worse instead of better.
- 39:50What were you balancing? Where was the balance?
- 39:52I've never seen you that off on your turns.
- 39:54Well, you know what, Abby,
- 39:56that's a reflection of you because Chloe has been
- 39:57your student since she was two years old.
- 39:59Sophia walked in
- 40:00off the street from someone else two weeks ago.
- 40:02You're not her teacher.
- 40:03You're not stretching her every day.
- 40:05I pay you for her to go to class and stretch.
- 40:08You know how sometimes your child takes math at school,
- 40:11but they need a tutor for extra math?
- 40:13Chloe needs extra flexibility at home.
- 40:16Why haven't you ever told me that before today?
- 40:23ABBY LEE: I know that Christi's
- 40:25annoyed with me because I am showering Sophia
- 40:28with attention, but you know what?
- 40:29You quit.
- 40:31Sophia was there.
- 40:32Chloe is a product of you.
- 40:34She's been at your studio since she was two.
- 40:37She's lazy.
- 40:38Then why don't you say,
- 40:39Fix it.
- 40:39"Do this, this is how you fix it"?
- 40:41She doesn't!
- 40:41I'm not a dance teacher,
- 40:43you tell me every day!
- 40:44Chloe is your student.
- 40:46You are a plagiarist
- 40:47because that little girl
- 40:49is somebody else's student and you
- 40:50just put your name on her back.
- 40:51You're ridiculous.
- 40:52Chloe was awful today.
- 40:55CHRISTI: I'm always the first
- 40:57to jump right back at Abby, you know.
- 40:59I believe in fighting fire with fire.
- 41:01But some of the things she said about Chloe
- 41:03were just so awful...
- 41:05that it... it just hurt me.
- 41:08She reveled in doing that
- 41:13to an 11-year-old, and she did it...
- 41:15She did it to my...
- 41:16HOLLY: To your baby.
- 41:20(crying): What are we doing to our kids?
