00:01I was still a little upset at how you just dipped out on us.
00:04My daughter was so escalated that day,
00:07I didn't know what to do.
00:08Don't blame your 14-year-old kid.
00:10Be an adult, put your bra on,
00:12and take care of your mom business.
00:14Smiley, yes, you did the dance,
00:16but you really gave the worst performance on stage.
00:20Bellatrix, the emotion was less than desirable.
00:26My goal was to repair the damage
00:28that's been done to my reputation and your children
00:31because of what happened with Studio Blue.
00:34In first place, Ballet Boys Project X Dance Company.
00:40We are going to have nationals in New York City.
00:43The good news is we're undefeated,
00:45but nationals is a whole different beast.
00:49Next week, we're competing in our hometown,
00:51and I've been planning to include the dads.
00:54What if their dad can't come?
00:56I don't think it's something that we need to dwell on.
00:58Being upset here right now isn't going to help.
01:00She'll just kick us off. It's not fine.
01:02I don't think anyone really understands the pressure that I'm under.
01:07I know the team is excited because they've been winning,
01:12but I don't know that those were necessarily earned,
01:15and so I feel like that I'm doing something wrong.
01:18We're going to be local for the next two weeks,
01:20and then we go to New York for nationals,
01:21and all three of these competitions
01:22are more important than everything.
01:23And I just don't know that we're there.
01:24Good morning, girl.
01:25I mean, I want to win.
01:26I want to win for these kids,
01:27and I want to win for Project X,
01:28and prove that we're there.
01:30I want to win.
01:31I want to win.
01:32I want to win for these kids,
01:33and I want to win for Project X.
01:34and prove that 40 years haven't been wasted.
02:00Hey, everyone, let's go.
02:04Good morning.
02:07Good morning.
02:09So, seven wins.
02:12Winning is great.
02:14But when you have seven wins, do you want to lose?
02:17No.
02:18You know, we have to finish as strong as we start.
02:20We have to finish stronger than we started.
02:22Studio Blue closing tainted my reputation.
02:27And people just assume that I'm this bad person
02:30and that I have done all these things
02:33and...
02:35Well, what's wrong?
02:36I don't know.
02:38The pressure of taking on the team
02:40and then what happened with the old studio
02:42and then opening this studio
02:45and being in charge of everything that goes on here
02:49and the successes and the failures,
02:52I think is just catching up with me.
02:54And our next two competitions are local,
02:58which means we're going to be going up against people
03:00who have competed against us in the past,
03:03who may or may not like us
03:05just based on Studio Blue and its reputation.
03:09And when we walk in, I want them to go,
03:13wow, what a difference.
03:15If we can continue to win for the next several weeks
03:18and win at nationals,
03:20we have back-to-back national titles.
03:22But guess what?
03:22This one is way more important
03:24because this is Project X.
03:26You can't take that away from us.
03:27That's huge.
03:28Let's finish strong.
03:29Let's bring home that national title
03:31from New York City.
03:33And to help make that happen,
03:34we're doing something special this week.
03:36We are skipping pyramid.
03:38I see how much better you perform
03:40when you're emotionally connected to the dances.
03:42And that motivation is here today.
03:47There you go.
03:49Before the season even started,
03:51I had planned to bring the dads in
03:52to surprise the girls.
03:54I'm very aware of all the sacrifices
03:56these families make to be part of this elite team.
03:59We travel every week,
04:01so these dads never get to see their baby girls perform.
04:04Morale has been sucking lately,
04:06so I'm really hoping that having the dads here
04:09will give the girls the inspiration
04:11we've been lacking for the last few weeks.
04:13We're each other's dads today.
04:15I'll be Gina's dad and you be Audrey's dad.
04:17Okay.
04:18I really wish my dad was here
04:19because we're really close.
04:21Kind of just like this,
04:22we're tight, you know?
04:23But yeah, it worked.
04:25But I'm just really, really happy
04:27and excited that he's going to be
04:28at the competition this Saturday.
04:30She's my dad now.
04:31Okay.
04:34I want to thank all of the dads for coming.
04:36I know it's not easy on you guys either,
04:38so we appreciate you
04:40even though we don't see you.
04:41Like we see your wives?
04:43Maybe sometimes I'd rather see you than your wives.
04:46This is our first local competition,
04:48and I really wanted this to be
04:50a special weekend for the girls.
04:52To have your support there for them,
04:54I know is really special.
04:56It's sad knowing that everyone else's dad
04:59got to come.
05:01All dads got to talk to their kids.
05:03Mia knows how much I love her.
05:04I tell her every day, right?
05:05You know that?
05:05Yeah.
05:06But I don't know if I'll tell you often enough.
05:08Um...
05:09Daddy!
05:13This girl makes me so proud.
05:16She's like the sweetest and kindest girl.
05:18Love you.
05:21Thank you so much for taking on all these girls
05:24and bestowing your knowledge upon them.
05:26There are so many times that I wish
05:28I could take her place,
05:29especially right before she goes on stage.
05:32But I know that it's important for her
05:33to get through it and get on there,
05:35and she's never failed me in my eyes.
05:39APPLAUSE
05:39What do you think your dad would have said to you
05:44if he was scared?
05:45I think he would have said, like,
05:49that he's proud of the person I've become.
05:53He makes me feel very, like, protected when I'm dancing.
05:56Like, I'm always going to do good, no matter what.
05:59Like, as long as he's there, like, I'm going to do good.
06:02I know, Audrey and Gina,
06:04that your dads are extremely proud of you
06:07and all that you do,
06:08and they have every reason to be.
06:09Audrey and Gina!
06:10APPLAUSE
06:11Moving on.
06:16This week, we are staying local,
06:18and we are going to Dancing in the Street
06:20in Laurel, Maryland.
06:21APPLAUSE
06:22We are doing a fun, campy murder mystery.
06:26Oh!
06:27So far this season,
06:30the best dance we have put on stage
06:32is the Material Girl.
06:34I think Mia sold the heck out of it,
06:37so therefore, this week, Mia,
06:39you are going to be the lead
06:40of the group dance again.
06:41You'll love this.
06:46Guess what you get to be?
06:47The car!
06:48LAUGHTER
06:49There's a weird, twisted, little dark side
06:52inside that little cute face.
06:55It's important for me to give everyone a shot
06:57at having a solo for nationals,
06:59at being the lead of a team.
07:00So this week's solos are going to Smiley
07:03and Bellatrix.
07:05CHEERING
07:06Bellatrix is doing lyrical
07:10and Smiley's doing jazz.
07:12Smiley, do you know who Paris Hilton is?
07:14CHEERING
07:15So you know what they said about Paris Hilton?
07:17She's famous for being famous.
07:20She has no other talents.
07:22And I've got...
07:23No!
07:24I didn't mean that!
07:25I just bet you're being her.
07:26I should not have said that!
07:28I realize I was sticking my foot in my mouth,
07:31but I really do love Paris Hilton.
07:34I'm actually flattered.
07:35Paris turned famous for being famous
07:38into millions and millions of dollars.
07:41She's an icon.
07:42She's a legend.
07:43She is the moment.
07:45What?
07:46It's a, like, trending sound.
07:48We're not insulted.
07:49We're inspired.
07:51Thank you, dads.
07:52We love you.
07:53Thank you for coming.
07:53We'll see you on Saturday.
07:54And don't forget, we need your help with all the props.
07:57Our paper's open!
07:59Bye!
08:02Bye!
08:03Thanks for coming!
08:05I was hoping that the dads would stay
08:07and then we could go home.
08:08Oh, yeah!
08:10That was so much fun.
08:12I felt really bad for Audrey this morning,
08:15and she handled it pretty well.
08:16I was a little upset,
08:17but I was trying to whisper,
08:18say something nice about Audrey and Gina
08:20because we all thought there was going to be two kids
08:23that didn't get...
08:23We all saw it.
08:24We knew it was coming.
08:25It's sad that Gina's dad is not here
08:28because he has to work,
08:30but I know he is going into the competition.
08:34I understand why Tammy is sad.
08:37At the same time,
08:38I just feel like Tammy lacks drama.
08:42It is frustrating, you know,
08:44how much I tried and, you know,
08:45telling him, you know,
08:46he only had to just stand there.
08:49I've been dreading this week.
08:51I'm just feeling a little defeated.
08:53Alex said he's coming on Saturday,
08:55but I don't know what he'll do, actually.
08:57You never know what's going to happen last minute.
09:00I had this, like, hope in me
09:02that he actually was coming
09:04and I was going to see him walk through the door.
09:05I know how hard this has been on you,
09:10but don't forget that you're strong
09:13and you're getting through it, right?
09:16And you're doing the best job you can,
09:18and we're all here.
09:19It's okay to be upset.
09:21Tammy, at the end of the day,
09:22you need to understand that we really do love you
09:24because we want the best for you
09:26and we're here for you.
09:27That's all this really is all about.
09:30I'm not a monster.
09:31I've known Tammy for years,
09:33and I see how hard this is for her,
09:35but for the team and for Audrey,
09:37I'm going to put our differences aside
09:39and be there for her.
09:40We're here for you always.
09:42So the group dance is called The Resort.
09:47This is important for me
09:48because I really want to solo at Nationals.
09:51I really think that this week
09:52can be the breakout week.
09:53If I don't pull it off,
09:54that's going to be devastating.
09:56So Mia is the murderer.
09:58So you've been poisoning all your friends one by one,
10:01and you're going to hold your little bottle up
10:03and you're going to look dead into the camera,
10:06and it's like, ha-ha-ha.
10:08Every time someone dies,
10:10you're going to be devastated.
10:11You go into hysterics.
10:15People wouldn't think it's you
10:16if you're having this breakdown about it.
10:19Layla just is dead on the floor.
10:21What are you going to do?
10:23You're over the top.
10:25Oh, no, keep going.
10:27Like, oh, my God.
10:28Oh, ah!
10:28Oh, Layla's dead!
10:31You don't have to say the words Layla's dead.
10:34You just found Layla dead.
10:35Now what?
10:36Ah!
10:38And you're over it now?
10:40Fine.
10:40Get it together so we can keep going.
10:42Ah!
10:43Oh!
10:44Oh!
10:44Oh!
10:45Oh!
10:45Oh!
10:46Mia, you're stressing me out
10:48because you're going to start making me question you,
10:50and I don't want to question you.
10:51This is taking far too long.
10:54There are seven other girls in this room
10:56who would love a chance to do this, I bet.
10:59We're two weeks away from Nationals.
11:01I could easily pull somebody else
11:03who hasn't had the opportunity.
11:05This is a waste of time.
11:06She's not going to get it.
11:07Like, she doesn't get it.
11:08Glow has taken away a lead.
11:09A couple times.
11:10Position.
11:11Yeah, she has.
11:12You know, I would love for this to be a great role for Audrey,
11:15but who I can actually see this being a great role for is Ashlyn.
11:18Every single time, Mia's been giving a test,
11:26and she delivered.
11:28That's why Glow's giving her another opportunity.
11:31These moms are like hyenas circulating
11:34and waiting for Mia to make a mistake,
11:36so then she loses her spot,
11:38so their kid can reach and grab it.
11:40But I'm not going to let that happen.
11:42Oh, she's crying.
11:44Don't get down on yourself.
11:46I really think that you can lead this team,
11:49and I also think that you can be a lead at Nationals,
11:51and I also think that you're a star.
11:54You can be the future of this whole studio.
11:57Damn.
11:59The whole studio.
12:01That's a little dramatic.
12:05This is a joke.
12:06She is 10 years old,
12:08and she's breaking down at every second
12:10and needs to be coddled with kid gloves.
12:13That is not somebody other kids should be looking up to.
12:17Ms. Bill, can I talk to her?
12:22Mia, I don't know what to do.
12:24What do you mean?
12:25Mia, this is not hard.
12:26Who thinks they can do this?
12:29You're about to give up your spot.
12:31That's what I'm scared of.
12:32Okay, so...
12:33So stop.
12:35Stop.
12:36Oh.
12:39Ashley.
12:40Ashley.
12:42Can you breathe?
12:43Can you breathe?
12:45She's gotten all these first places dancing.
12:47This is something completely different.
12:49It's not working out for her.
12:49The team thing says she's an actress.
12:51You have to book jobs to be an actress.
12:53Hear that?
13:02You're going to blow this chance.
13:04We are heading into nationals.
13:08You need to go out there and dance.
13:10Like, your life depended on it.
13:11No.
13:12You should go home and buy her a spinning jizz.
13:14She has one.
13:15And use it.
13:16If you walk off the stage and nobody felt anything,
13:20you're not doing your job.
13:21Oh, no, God.
13:21Why are you going to cry?
13:24I don't believe you.
13:26Ashlyn, you can do bigger face.
13:28Mia's been making a lot of mistakes,
13:30and you don't get upset at all,
13:31but when it's our kids, you scream, you scream.
13:33Mia has been killing it on stage as far as I'm concerned.
13:35I don't know what y'all are seeing.
13:37Maybe you're just jealous.
13:38In first place.
13:39Who thinks they can do this?
13:48You're about to give up your spot.
13:50You're about to...
13:50That's what I'm scared of.
13:51Okay, so...
13:52Shh!
13:54You killed this person.
13:58That's right.
13:59Yeah.
13:59Fake tears.
14:00Crocodile tears.
14:02There we go.
14:02That doesn't sound right.
14:03I mean, I don't know that Mia can get it that quickly.
14:06You feel better now?
14:06Okay, I know you can do it.
14:09Thank you, Molly.
14:10Okay, go.
14:12Welcome back, Mia.
14:14Ready to give it another try?
14:16Yeah.
14:16Okay, then I want you to try harder.
14:18Okay?
14:18Let's go, Mia.
14:19The face of Project X.
14:28There you go.
14:30You're getting it.
14:30Keep going.
14:31Keep going.
14:31All right.
14:36We're way closer.
14:37Yay!
14:40Okay, moving on.
14:42At the beginning of the dance,
14:43there's going to be a dead body
14:45dragged to the center of the stage,
14:48and that person is the first person you find dead,
14:52and you are going to be hysterical.
14:55What?
14:55So someone starts off dead?
14:57Yes.
14:58Wait, that person doesn't dance, then.
15:00We have to figure out today
15:02who is going to be dancing and who is not,
15:04because we have to move forward with the choreography.
15:06Everyone is at risk at this point.
15:08All right, let's roll.
15:10But it's not even like body bags
15:11where, like, Bellatrix went in first,
15:13but she got to dance at least a little.
15:15Right.
15:16This is someone straight up not dancing.
15:19Ashlyn, you have to widen your legs.
15:20Your stance is not that close together.
15:23We're at home,
15:24and I'm sure everyone's families are coming.
15:26The dads are coming.
15:27Like, who doesn't want to not dance in front of their dad?
15:29Oh, my God.
15:30Oh, my God.
15:30Oh, my God.
15:31Oh, my God.
15:31Do you guys even take belly?
15:34Who's that?
15:36Always got to show your best, Smiley.
15:38Give me a break.
15:40I think, Smiley,
15:42I'm going to make this really easy for you this week.
15:44I'm going to give you the gift of time
15:45so that you can work on your solo.
15:47You will get the part of the dead body
15:49at the beginning of the dance.
15:50And trust me when I tell you,
15:54you're all going to be dying off
15:55way faster than the body bags
15:56if you don't get it together.
15:58In my opinion,
15:59my mom is unfairly hard on Smiley.
16:02I don't think she should be the dead body right now
16:04because she has improved.
16:05She's been a great team player.
16:07She's been a great group member,
16:09and she's not been what's bringing this team down.
16:13But in her mind,
16:14it's just her way or no way.
16:17Come on.
16:20She can handle both dances.
16:22It's not necessary.
16:23All right.
16:23Well, here's what it is, Dominica.
16:25So what happens when she focuses on her solo
16:26and then she still is not good enough for you?
16:29At what point do you start to build her up
16:31instead of tearing her down?
16:32Because I'm sick of it, but she's not.
16:34I'm sick of it.
16:35Okay, well, I'm sorry.
16:37Smiley, I want you to work on your solo.
16:42I'm making a decision
16:43that should be beneficial to you.
16:45Got it?
16:47Okay.
16:47So I've been wanting all season
17:02to do what I do best,
17:04which is pretty lyrical.
17:05And you get to do that.
17:08Ever since I was little,
17:09I've always wanted to be on Broadway.
17:11I'm so happy Miss Glow gave me a solo
17:13because I want to prove to her
17:15that I can have a starring role
17:16at Nationals in New York City.
17:18You've got to bring out that personality.
17:20I can't depend on you
17:22to give you lead parts
17:24or to give you more solos
17:25or to dance at Nationals.
17:26If you can't be more vulnerable,
17:29just don't hide in the shadows.
17:32That's what I mean by disappearing.
17:33If you walk off the stage
17:34and nobody felt anything,
17:36you're not doing your job.
17:38Oh, no, God.
17:39Why are you going to cry?
17:40I guess, like,
17:41I've tried my best
17:43to show all my emotion,
17:45but, like, I guess, like,
17:46I get worried
17:47people are going to judge me.
17:49I'm afraid
17:50that if Bellatrix
17:51doesn't place high,
17:53that, you know,
17:53Glow's going to feel disappointed.
17:55Bellatrix is going to see
17:56Miss Glow being disappointed in her.
17:57And my biggest concern with that
17:59is that Bellatrix will,
18:00you know, lose her love for dance.
18:02Hi.
18:03Sorry, I'm not
18:04trying to cause trouble.
18:06Okay.
18:07I just want her to defend herself.
18:09Well, you defend her enough
18:10forever, but...
18:11I know, but I don't want
18:12to speak for her.
18:13Yes, you do.
18:14You always speak for her.
18:14I don't want to.
18:15Maybe that's why
18:16she doesn't speak for herself.
18:17Maybe.
18:18Bellatrix,
18:19this is what I want you to do.
18:20I mean, you look at me right now,
18:21and I want you to tell me
18:22how you feel.
18:23Like, how I feel about...
18:24About anything.
18:25When you're...
18:25She's telling that you're disappearing,
18:27that she's...
18:27Now you don't feel very...
18:28You're speaking for her again!
18:29Stop talking!
18:30If I just be there...
18:32She could.
18:33Do you want her to?
18:34Tell her!
18:34You tell her!
18:35Get out.
18:36Okay, but...
18:36Ah, ah, ah!
18:37Don't talk!
18:37Just go!
18:38Speak your mind.
18:38Yes!
18:41What's wrong with her?
18:43I feel that Bellatrix
18:45has spent so many years
18:46seeing her mother
18:47have this very outgoing personality
18:50speaking her mind,
18:51and I fully believe
18:53that if Bellatrix
18:54can get out of Roxy's shadow
18:55and step into her own light
18:57with this dance,
18:57Bellatrix can be a superstar.
18:59I want you to go out
19:00on that stage
19:01and blow everyone's minds.
19:03Wouldn't it be amazing
19:04for this to be your first win
19:06in our hometown locally
19:09with your father there?
19:11What a moment that could be.
19:13Let's go.
19:16She hasn't placed in a long time.
19:18She's not emoting.
19:20She's not showing
19:21that she wants it.
19:23You show that you want her
19:24to be a star,
19:25but she's not showing that.
19:26She's not showing that you're going to be a star.
19:28Nice.
19:29That was pretty turned.
19:31We don't have anything special,
19:33but her hard work
19:34is what makes her
19:36look like she has this glorious house
19:40with these big mirrors
19:41and this big fancy studio.
19:43We don't have that.
19:44You know,
19:44it's been hard.
19:45It's always someone
19:45who just has that extra money
19:47to pay for more private classes.
19:48Like,
19:48I don't have the luxury
19:50of having that extra money,
19:52but Bellatrix is proof
19:53that you don't need
19:55this fancy stuff
19:56for your kid
19:57to be a good dancer.
19:58With a good teacher
20:00who believes in you
20:01and pushes you,
20:02that's all you need.
20:03She's got the technique.
20:05What's the emotion?
20:05I think she needs to talk
20:06about something
20:07that is really deep
20:09and meaningful to her,
20:10like her dad.
20:13You know what, Bellatrix,
20:14the steps are gorgeous.
20:15You couldn't probably
20:16dance it any better.
20:17But I need you to perform.
20:20I really am nervous.
20:22Just because your daughter
20:23has the most beautiful,
20:24perfect technique,
20:25we don't know
20:26what the judges want.
20:27Well,
20:27lyrical usually wins, though.
20:29Not if you don't perform it right.
20:31What does it feel like
20:32to have strong faith,
20:34bigger, everything?
20:36Can Bellatrix just let go?
20:39I don't know, dude.
20:40More, more Bellatrix
20:41in your body.
20:42Body, reach.
20:45She better let go.
20:50G-L-A-N.
20:52G-L-A-N.
20:54G-L-A-N.
20:56Hi, Paris.
20:57I used to wear
20:58little skirts like that.
20:59I mean,
21:00I was doing that
21:01until not so long ago.
21:05Dead.
21:06But look,
21:06you're all pinked out today.
21:08There you go.
21:09So you can
21:10channel your inner Paris.
21:12Do you even know
21:13what that is?
21:14Have you ever seen
21:15a phone like that?
21:15Is this a flip phone?
21:16Yeah.
21:17Just flips?
21:18Yeah.
21:18I don't think
21:19I've ever held
21:19a flip phone in my hand before.
21:20This is very cool.
21:21Are you kidding me?
21:24It takes a lot
21:25for me to feel old
21:26and this did it.
21:28All right, pose.
21:30Oh, my God.
21:32You just totally transformed
21:34in front of our eyes.
21:35That's so hot.
21:36Smiley's solo this week
21:46is a jazz routine
21:47and it's make or break
21:49for Smiley.
21:49I worry that it's not
21:51in Smiley's best interest
21:52to continue on a team
21:53that she can't keep up with.
21:55Yeah, but I'd much rather
21:56work with a kid
21:56like Smiley
21:57who wants to be there
21:58and wants to work hard
21:59over a kid who doesn't care
22:00and wants to quit
22:01every single week.
22:02Not mentioning any names,
22:03but you know
22:03who I'm talking about.
22:04I get it,
22:05but unfortunately
22:06for Smiley at this level,
22:08it doesn't matter
22:09how hard you work
22:10if I don't see results
22:11and I need to see results
22:13from Smiley.
22:14Up, spot.
22:15Don't fight your arms.
22:17Pull up.
22:17You gotta pull your arms.
22:20Don't push forward.
22:21Push right up
22:22onto that leg.
22:24Nope.
22:25I think Smiley's turned.
22:27You should go home
22:28and buy her a spinning jib.
22:29She has one.
22:30She has all the turning
22:31and practice.
22:32And use it.
22:34Every single week,
22:35the joke for us,
22:37if the mannequin said,
22:38Smiley can turn,
22:38Smiley can turn.
22:40If Smiley is done
22:40like one turn,
22:41she's like,
22:42oh my God,
22:42she did it.
22:43She didn't make
22:43a mistake last week
22:44while so many of the other
22:45kids made a mistake
22:46last week.
22:47You know, like Ashlyn
22:48tends to put her heel
22:48down a lot.
22:51Mia couldn't do
22:52a double pirouette.
22:54Like, don't come at me.
22:56The bus Dominica's
22:57driving today
22:58is so big,
22:59she just keeps
22:59throwing every kid
23:00under the bus,
23:01under the bus.
23:02It's not throwing
23:03them under the bus.
23:04I'm legitimately
23:05putting a point out
23:06that it's not just
23:07my kid.
23:08I'm tired of my child
23:09hearing that she's
23:10not good enough
23:11and that she may not
23:12be good enough
23:12when it matters most,
23:14which is in nationals.
23:16The reason that
23:17I defend Smiley
23:17is because I didn't
23:19have that person
23:19in my corner
23:20who said to me,
23:21good job every day.
23:22We lived in
23:23a third world country.
23:24My dad was never home
23:26and my mom
23:27was unable
23:28to be there
23:28for me all the time.
23:29So when I became
23:30a mom,
23:31my first priority
23:32was to be better
23:34than that
23:34and to show up
23:36for my kid
23:36and to be her biggest
23:38fan and her biggest
23:38cheerleader.
23:39I want you
23:40to get better
23:41not only for yourself
23:42but for the reputation
23:44of our studio
23:45and what we do here.
23:47Like, do you want
23:48to be a dancer?
23:49I want to dance
23:49with my mom on the side.
23:51Then you need
23:54to make yourself
23:55get better.
23:56I want you to remind me
23:57why I chose you
23:58for this team.
23:59If I don't see you
24:01getting there faster,
24:02then I have to figure out
24:04if you're going to
24:05even dance at nationals
24:07or if you belong
24:08on this team.
24:08Oh, damn.
24:10Smiley should show her
24:11I'm not just a pretty face.
24:13She needs to bring it.
24:28It's like I'm walking
24:31into a resort.
24:32I'm stuck on a palm tree.
24:34I love the wig.
24:36I need solos
24:37to get ready.
24:38This is a really
24:39important week for me
24:41and this team
24:42and our studio.
24:43It's our first local
24:44competition as Project X
24:45and people associate me
24:47with Studio Blue
24:48and I am not Studio Blue.
24:50There is no better way
24:51for me to repair
24:53my reputation
24:53and the studio's reputation
24:55but by winning.
24:57Can you please start stretching?
24:59Yeah, I'm going to do it.
25:00Okay.
25:01Well, just pay attention to me.
25:03Are you listening?
25:04Mm-hmm.
25:05Because I feel like
25:05this is like your only shot,
25:07literally the only shot
25:08that you have.
25:09You promised me
25:09you're going to do it.
25:10You're going to work your ass off
25:11and dance so hard.
25:12I know I'm usually not
25:13that mom that pushes you
25:14but I feel like I have to
25:15because you're not doing
25:16anything I want
25:16and I'm sick and tired
25:18of Miss Glo saying that.
25:19Aren't you tired of it too?
25:20Yeah.
25:21So what are you going to do?
25:22I can't hear you.
25:25Will you put the mascara
25:26and the lipstick away?
25:28Okay.
25:29The biggest fear right now
25:30is to play it safe.
25:32I don't want her to play it safe
25:33because it's literally
25:34her only shot
25:35that Glo is giving her.
25:36This is it.
25:36Like, there's no more chances
25:37right now.
25:38All right, guys,
25:39come over here for a second.
25:40You are given probably
25:42the best opportunity yet
25:44on this team
25:44to have a solo
25:45in your hometown.
25:47You're dancing
25:48for the first time
25:49in front of your fathers
25:50this season.
25:52I'm really, like,
25:52happy this year
25:53because I don't get
25:54to see him anymore.
25:57He works from, like,
25:587 a.m. to, like,
25:59sometimes he won't even
26:00get home until, like,
26:0111.30.
26:02When I do get to hang out
26:03with him, like,
26:04we have a lot of fun together.
26:05So I'm just very happy
26:06that he gets to see me dance,
26:07especially this week
26:08since I have a solo.
26:10My dad is also, like,
26:11my best friend.
26:12He's actually, like,
26:13my number one fan.
26:14Like, he always supports me
26:15and, like, he, like,
26:16gives me the best
26:17pep talks ever.
26:19I love hearing about them
26:21and I love how special
26:22they are to you
26:24and you know that
26:24you're special to them.
26:26So I have a surprise
26:27for you.
26:28Dad!
26:29What's up?
26:30Lori.
26:30What's up?
26:31What's up?
26:31She looks adorable.
26:39She looks like a Barbie.
26:40Smiley, I want you
26:41to go out there
26:43and believe in yourself.
26:44I want you to have
26:45the time of your life.
26:46I want you to embrace
26:47Paris Hilton.
26:49Just have fun.
26:51And Bellatrix, my dear,
26:53the emotion that I see
26:54when you talk about
26:55your father
26:55is so real and genuine.
26:57Try to take that
26:58and take it onto the stage.
27:00Don't be guarded.
27:01We are heading into nationals.
27:03We have one more competition,
27:05our regionals.
27:06You need to go out there
27:07and dance,
27:08like your life depended on it.
27:09Your lives might depend on it.
27:11Life on the team.
27:12Show me why you're here.
27:13Prove to me you belong here.
27:15I think they both need
27:16to sink or swim today,
27:17so I'm hoping
27:18they do not sink.
27:19You're awesome.
27:20Just relax.
27:21Go out there
27:21and do what you do.
27:22Pretend like you're
27:23Freddie Mercury on stage.
27:25I'm not scared of nothing.
27:26You're out there to kill it.
27:27Yeah.
27:42I'm really, really happy
27:46that my dad's going
27:47to be here watching me
27:48and I'm just, like,
27:49really excited to perform.
27:51I think knowing
27:52that he's here with me
27:53is going to help me
27:54have a lot more emotion
27:55on stage.
27:56This is my dance
27:57and I'm going to go out
27:57there and kill it.
28:00Bellatrix is one
28:01of the best technicians
28:03on this team,
28:04but as soon as the spotlight
28:06is on Bellatrix,
28:07she crumbles.
28:09I know Bellatrix
28:10has more in her than that.
28:12If Bellatrix can just
28:14believe in herself
28:15a little bit,
28:16this kid is going
28:18to be the star
28:18of this team very soon.
28:20Next up,
28:21advanced solo
28:22junior lyrical.
28:24Please welcome
28:25entry number 185
28:27with Someplace Else.
28:33Let's go back.
28:35Oh, baby, let's go.
28:36I got carried out
28:50to sea
28:51on a wave of hope
28:54My faith was strong
28:58My heart was filled
29:01with innocence and dreams
29:05Of what could be
29:08But sometimes dreams
29:12get shouted by
29:14The daylights
29:15streaming in
29:17And somewhere down the road
29:21We lost each other
29:25And somewhere down the line
29:29We lost ourselves
29:30We lost ourselves
29:32Too much for us
29:35To face the storm
29:37together
29:38Let's go!
29:39Let's go!
29:40Let's go!
29:41Let's go!
29:42Let's go!
29:43Let's go!
29:43Somewhere down the road
29:48somewhere down the road
29:49Someplaced out
29:49Let's go!
29:50Let's go!
29:50Somewhere down the road
29:51We lost each other
29:55And somewhere down the line we lost ourselves
30:21It was gorgeous she did such a good job I have never seen better
30:51Bellatrix dance like that she was emoting and I believed her
30:56Yeah it was really good
31:08If I do this all the best I can I think that'll prove to Miss Cole that I deserve to be on this team because I do
31:13I mean she put me on the scene for a reason and I'm gonna show her that reason
31:18She's competing against like how many souls did they say?
31:2034
31:2134, 36
31:22Great
31:23Really?
31:24I'm not delusional I don't think Smiley is gonna win today
31:27Especially with a lot of competition
31:29But what she can do is impress me enough to show me why I should keep her on the team next season

32:30Boy, I don't need no permission
32:33Girls, we won't be scripted
32:36We wanna write the rules
32:38If I'm too much, I'm not the girl for you
32:42We don't need you to fix it
32:44Ain't nothing to discuss
32:46Stand aside, come on
32:48There's no stopping us
32:51Woo!
32:52Come on, come on, my girls
32:55If I'm too much, I'm not the girl for you
32:58We don't need you to fix it
33:01We can rule the world
33:03We can rule the world
33:07Every girl wants
33:08Come on
33:21Oh, what's wrong with me?
33:24She did great, I'm so proud of her
33:26It was the best I've ever seen Smiley dance
33:28I feel really good
33:29I nailed my triple
33:30I had energy
33:32And I did my aerial
33:34I think I did everything I needed to prove Mr. LaRue
33:37I think I made Paris Hilton very proud
33:39That was so good
33:42Amazing
33:43So proud of them
33:44Like, Smiley got her triple turn
33:46What'd you think about that triple?
33:47Oh my god, please
33:50You are such a hater
33:52I just tell you the shoes
33:53Jing, I saw your husband's here
33:56Tammy, did Alex show up?
33:59I haven't seen him yet, but he has texted me and asked for the address this morning
34:04Do you think he'll help with the props?
34:05No, I think he'll just stand a seat
34:07I see you bending over backwards
34:09Like, obviously divorce is hard
34:10You are so kind
34:12All you have to do is get a palm tree and put it on stage, you know
34:15Right
34:15I mean, if this is how he shows up for his daughter
34:17I can only imagine how he showed up for you in your marriage, you know
34:20Like, I get why you're leaving him
34:22I'm proud of you
34:23Thank you
34:24Oh my god
34:26Yes!
34:27My little Rodney
34:28I'm the top
34:30Full, like, your triple
34:34I'm so proud of you guys
34:39How did that feel?
34:40So good
34:41Both of you definitely had the breakthrough that I've been waiting for with you
34:45Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but none of this means anything if the group is a hot mess
34:51We have a lot of work to do
34:54The dads are all here to watch
34:56Take advantage of it and use that like these girls did
34:58I will do anything for Audrey
35:04And I've tried really hard getting Alex to come to the competition
35:08If Alex doesn't show up, I'm going to have a really heartbroken kid
35:11Let's, like, kind of, though, get a move on
35:14Can I help you now?
35:16Oh my god
35:17Way tighter
35:18I know, I haven't even tied it yet
35:19Tighter
35:20What am I doing with the bow?
35:21Is it a...
35:22I don't know, but why do you take so long to get her ready, Dominica?
35:24So she can look good
35:25So she'll look good lying on the ground?
35:27A roll is a roll
35:28Fellowships, come in
35:30Run, run, run, run, run
35:30Wait, oh my god
35:32Please, a little bit of hairspray
35:33Let's go, guys, come on
35:35We have to run this dance
35:36Help, help
35:38I can't hear you
35:39I'm in a chore
35:40Bigger
35:42Bigger hips
35:44I don't believe you
35:47Bigger for this part, you guys
35:48On your feet, Gina
35:49Ashlyn, you can do bigger face than that
35:52Watching this rehearsal is like watching squat
35:55It's giving school lunch
35:57And not stage performance
35:59I don't want to lose
36:00Because a weak performance in our hometown
36:03Open your arms
36:04Out, out, out
36:06Is only going to give this area something to talk about
36:10And it won't be good
36:12Too many mistakes
36:13Too many sloppy arms
36:15Too little face
36:16Mia, I'm putting a lot of trust in a 10-year-old
36:20All eyes are going to be on you
36:22You have to sell this
36:24And you have to perform it
36:25You can make or break this
36:27I didn't do this thing
36:28It's okay
36:29I'm still looking at what's going to be happening in Nationals
36:32And I really, really assume you will be a shoo-in
36:35Why you don't put a call on someone and forgot her routine
36:38Why you always call on our kids
36:41That's true
36:43You're talking to me
36:45Yeah, she's talking to you
36:47Even when you say Mia's name, you go, Mia
36:49Mia
36:50Bellatrix
36:51I mean, she is right
36:53Mia's been making a lot of mistakes
36:54And you don't get upset at all
36:56You know what? Mia has been killing it on stage as far as I'm concerned
37:00I don't know what y'all are seeing
37:01Maybe you're just jealous
37:03I can't have Mia fall apart before she walks on stage
37:09If these parents are a little butthurt
37:11Because I'm speaking to her in a different tone
37:14They need to get over it
37:15Because guess what?
37:16Mia is pulling out the wind for these girls week after week
37:19So suck it up, moms
37:20Mia, just focus on yourself
37:22Exactly
37:22Ignore the people who are jealous
37:24All right, kill it, ladies
37:25Get ready for the best new thing
37:30Get ready for the best new thing
37:34What you want, I got it
37:37What you want, I got it
37:39What you want, I got it
37:41I got it
37:42What are you feeling like?
37:44Very nervous
37:44Like, very, very, very nervous
37:46Like, very, very nervous
37:48I'm the lead of the group
37:49And I can't mess up
37:51Because we're really close to nationals
37:52And this is Miss Glow's decision
37:54If I get a solo on nationals
37:55Or if I can be the lead
37:57So what are you going to do?
37:59Kill it
37:59I have to kill it
38:01Like, dance, kill it
38:02And then I have to kill all the people
38:03I don't see it
38:15I just want to go out there
38:19And I just want to dance
38:19I want to dance for my dad
38:20And I just want to make him proud
38:22I don't care about anything else
38:24I just
38:24I'm just kidding
38:26I don't see it
38:34I just want to dance for my dad
38:36Daddy, sorry
38:40Sorry, sorry
38:41It means a lot to me that he's here
38:54And that he tried to come
38:56Because I know that
38:57I know that he was
38:58Like, most of the time
38:59He's not able to
39:00And that's why he couldn't come earlier
39:01And I'm just so happy
39:04Next up
39:06Advanced Small Group Junior Open
39:09Please welcome
39:10The resort
39:11Help, help
39:20That person had a short
39:22Oh, fuck
39:28Help, help
39:31What's up?
39:37I don't feel
39:50Bye
39:51Hello
41:25We're going to announce our top advanced junior solo.
41:3632 entries competed this afternoon.
41:38In 10th place, entry number eight, Swan of Lada.
41:45I felt like Miss Go could just really see the improvement on stage, but I'm really worried
41:49about not placing good because I danced against so many other people.
41:537th place.
41:54That's so hot.
42:03This is the happiest I have ever been about a 7th place win.
42:07Was she the strongest dancer?
42:08No, but she hit everything that was given to her and she did it with confidence.
42:13But is this enough to guarantee her a spot on this team next season?
42:17I still don't know.
42:19In third place, entry number 72, I Love Paris.
42:24I'm just feeling all the emotions because they haven't said my name yet and they just called
42:30third place, so I'm just really scared I'm not going to place at all.
42:33In second place, entry number 37, I Didn't Know My Own Strength.
42:40Yes, she got first place.
42:41Yes, she did.
42:42And in first place, entry number 185, Someplace Else.
42:50Oh my gosh, I'm so happy.
42:57I feel like having my dad here made such a big difference.
43:01I haven't won first place since I was like 7 or 8.
43:04I think Miss Go is going to see a different me going into nationals.
43:09Next up, top advanced junior small group in 7th place, entry number 34, Requiem.
43:17I feel like all the pressure is on me now.
43:21Being in our hometown this week, trying to hold on to this undefeated season, this is our
43:27chance to show everybody what we're made of and prove all of the haters wrong.
43:33Second place, entry number 31, Infinity.
43:41And in first place,
43:43entry number 186, The Resort.
43:54Winning this 8th win in a row in our hometown means more to me than any win I had last season.
44:02All of the local studios wanted to come and compete against us, but Project X came out on top.
44:08It shows people that I'm still the best dance teacher in this state.
44:13Nice job, dancers.
44:14Tell us where you dance.
44:16I'm at that dance company!
44:27Did he leave?
44:29Did he leave?
44:31He left already?
44:32You got the right kid.
44:41Yeah, find the right kid.
44:43Find the right kid.
44:46He's been so proud of you.
44:49It was really good, like, seeing my dad outside.
44:52I love him a lot, and it feels good, like, knowing that he came.
44:58That means more than, like, more than anything.
45:05Oh, my God!
45:10Hey!
45:11Hey!
45:11Go, go, go, go, go!
45:13I'm not going to lie.
45:14I've never been so nervous.
45:15You were amazing.
45:18It was so good.
45:19It was so good.
45:20Now the pressure's really on.
45:22One more competition before nationals, regionals.
45:25Yes, keep up the momentum, ladies, right?
45:28Give me a P!
45:29P!
45:30Give me a X!
45:32X!
45:33Give me a D!
45:34B!
45:35At the end of the day, Alex came and got to see his daughter.
45:39B is C!
45:40C!
45:41You want me?
45:42CrossFit, test, test, company!
45:45But it's just been such an exhausting week,
45:48getting to this point, that I am just tired.
45:51Every time I feel like I'm coming up to the surface
45:54and can breathe, something else happens.
46:01It's like, when it rains, it pours.
