00:01Audrey, what do you want to do?
00:04I want to go back.
00:05I think it's a mistake.
00:06She's an asset to the team.
00:08By what costs?
00:09I really think that you're a star.
00:12You could be the future of this whole studio.
00:15She is 10 years old and breaking down every second.
00:19The solos are going to Audrey and Gina.
00:22Whoever wins will get a solo at Nationals.
00:25If she lost confrontation, she will be the dad fish.
00:28Your number one soloist, the Lionfish.
00:34I'm back once again, baby.
00:36Next week, we'll be in New York City.
00:39For the biggest Nationals of your entire lives,
00:42we will be doing a collaboration with Boop the Musical.
00:47One of you guys in front of me will be playing Eddie Boop.
00:51Don't you want to get your ninth win going into Nationals?
00:54Taking home that first place trophy,
00:56baby in the fire!
00:59I am not okay.
01:00It's really clear that this is not the right place for Tammy right now.
01:03And I'm not doing this!
01:05Tammy!
01:06As much as I want Audrey on this scene forever,
01:09I have to let her go.
01:10Only in New York.
01:25Can you rise to the top?
01:30Only in New York.
01:32Only in New York.
01:35Yay!
01:39Look at the view.
01:40This has been a tough year for everyone.
01:45Studio Blue closing down, it took its toll on the kids,
01:48it took its toll on me.
01:49I didn't know where this team would end up,
01:52and I spent so much time just trying to pick up the pieces.
01:56Thank God Kaylee's been here.
01:58Gonna run!
01:59Go!
02:00Up, up, down, Lily!
02:01But we don't always see eye to eye.
02:03I'm sorry you feel that way.
02:04I don't know what type of...
02:05That sounds so genuine, Mom.
02:06When you have that...
02:07Then I can't win!
02:08Then I can't win!
02:09Listen!
02:10But here we are.
02:11With nine wins in a row, an undefeated season...
02:14Broadway Texas company!
02:16And now we're standing in a Broadway studio,
02:19preparing for the biggest Nationals of my career.
02:22But instead of feeling excited and inspired like we should,
02:25we have this dark cloud hanging over us
02:27because Audrey and Tammy quit the team for good.
02:30If I'm honest, I am terrified of going into a Nationals
02:34this important when our team is so fractured.
02:38That's new.
02:39I'm trying to lighten the mood.
02:41What mood?
02:42The mood of your repercussions of everything I've been telling you
02:46is going to happen for the last however many weeks.
02:48What does that mean?
02:49You should not have allowed Tammy and Audrey to come back.
02:51Look what happened.
02:52Audrey wants to be here.
02:54This is all Tammy.
02:56But look at what she's doing.
02:58Look at what her mom is doing.
02:59Look at what is happening because you let her back.
03:01Look what her mom is doing.
03:02The state of our team could not be worse right now.
03:05Once again, it's because of Tammy.
03:07I have to make the decision that I think is best for everyone.
03:12If you were thinking about everybody,
03:13you would not have allowed her to come back.
03:15If I were thinking about...
03:16No, if you were thinking about the whole team and everybody else except for Audrey.
03:20I am not going to sit here and yell or listen to you yell.
03:23You know you're not going to sit and listen to me because I'm right and you don't want to hear that you're wrong.
03:26No, that's not true.
03:27That is exactly true.
03:28I don't think it's true.
03:29I don't think it's true.
03:30You are destroying your own team.
03:32You are destroying your own studio right now.
03:34You're one.
03:35Yep.
03:36We're done.
03:37Yeah.
03:38It's really frustrating that anytime I go to my mom with my opinion, she just shuts it down.
03:44She only wants positive opinions and nothing that challenges her point of view.
03:49So, I feel like we need to start by addressing what happened last weekend.
03:55What happened on Saturday was unimaginable.
03:59Tammy and Audrey left the team.
04:01This was Tammy's decision.
04:03I kind of felt like they were going to do this again because Miss Tammy didn't seem very happy last week.
04:08And I felt honestly really, really, really bad for her.
04:11But I do think it was the best that she left the team.
04:14We are not going to dwell on this.
04:16You girls have won with and without Audrey.
04:20Now, all of that being said, look around you.
04:23Look where you are right now.
04:25We're in New York City!
04:28You are on Broadway.
04:30This is where stars are made.
04:33David Foster, one of the biggest names in the entire music industry,
04:38is literally gifting us one of his songs from his newest Broadway musical, Boop.
04:44One of you is going to be Betty Boop, and you are going to go out there and blow him away.
04:50That's what I'm waiting for.
04:51And if that's not incentive enough, I have another surprise for you all.
04:56Five of the top agents in New York City will be at your performance.
05:01Whoo!
05:02Yes!
05:03That's amazing!
05:05Being signed to an agent who sees that you have something is everything.
05:11I want to get an agent that will get me to Broadway one day.
05:14On to the last pyramid of the season.
05:20On the bottom...
05:25Audrey.
05:27Audrey's not here.
05:28We will do it without her.
05:29Next on the bottom...
05:31Smiley, I saw you work really hard over the last few weeks, and I want you to keep working hard so we get you off this bottom row once and for all.
05:43Understood?
05:44Yes.
05:45Next on the bottom row.
05:46Ashlyn.
05:47I wish I had seen more out of you this season, but I do actually believe that your technique has improved a lot this season.
05:58And last on the bottom row.
06:03Lily.
06:04Lily, you had your breakout performance last weekend.
06:06I want to see a lot more of those next season.
06:09On the second row...
06:13Bellatrix.
06:14You are very clearly one of the most technical dancers on this scene.
06:19Now that you've come out of the shadows, stay there.
06:24Next.
06:26Gina.
06:27Gina, you've proven that you can be a leader and a winning soloist.
06:31And that's all I've ever wanted from you.
06:33Keep going.
06:36And on the top of the pyramid...
06:39Fia!
06:40Where's Layla?
06:42Woohoo!
06:43You have that it factor, and I have no doubt we will all see your name in lights one day.
06:57Okay, where's Layla?
06:58What's the matter?
07:00I'm so confused, because I can't think of anything Layla's done to not be on the pyramid.
07:06What the heck is going on?
07:09Why do you think you're not up there?
07:10I thought this season was a lot better than I did last season.
07:15You think you did?
07:16Yeah.
07:17You've been my student since you were four years old.
07:20And from the moment I met you, I thought I was looking at a miniature Kaylee Ware.
07:26You are so talented.
07:28You are so gifted.
07:29I didn't always see you use that to your full potential.
07:32But this season, I've seen you work harder to not only grasp the styles, but to also perform and not hide who you are.
07:44Because you are not a shrinking violet, Layla.
07:46I mean, I know I haven't always been easy on you, but that's because I see so much of myself in you.
07:51And I don't want you to look back and regret anything like I might have looked back and regret things.
07:56You are going to be better than I could ever be.
07:59And you have to believe that.
08:01Layla, you may not be on the pyramid, but I have something even better for you than being on top.
08:06Layla Bell, you will be Betty Boop.
08:10I love being the lead role, especially for nationals.
08:19This is my first lead, like, by myself.
08:21And it's going to be Betty Boop in front of the agents.
08:26This is the best lead ever.
08:28You were worried.
08:30This is a huge break for her.
08:32This is the biggest opportunity of her life.
08:36Now she has to deliver.
08:37In addition to the group, we will have two solos.
08:42We already know that the first solo is going to Gina.
08:47Congratulations on earning your solo.
08:49You did a great job last competition.
08:52She has the solo international.
08:54She beat Audrey last week.
08:56She put herself every single week.
08:59The second solo was an extremely difficult decision.
09:02It came down to who exceeded my expectations.
09:08And that dancer is...
09:11Mia.
09:15We've got her two shiny new toys, Gina and Mia, getting the two solo spots.
09:21And Ting Ting and Jing, we know about them.
09:23They don't get along.
09:24So this might not be the united front I expected going into nationals week, but here we are.
09:29Girls, let's go out and bring home another national title and make history with this undefeated season.
09:36Yes!
09:37Let's do this!
09:39Moms, there's a viewing area set up for you in another room.
09:42You're dismissed.
09:43We'll start group rehearsal in a few.
09:46We're still going to be friends all the way.
09:47Wee!
09:48All right, guys, in case you didn't know, the story of Boop the Musical is that Betty Boop comes from a black and white town.
10:06But then she travels to New York City and she finds friends, she finds love, she finds a whole world of color.
10:18Layla, I want you to know how she moves, how she talks.
10:20This is the biggest performance of your life for all of you.
10:23Yeah.
10:24Exactly.
10:25That's as national as they all have to bring it.
10:27All right, spread out.
10:28Okay, so we go one and two and three and four and five, six, seven and eight.
10:36Man, you guys, I just can't believe the girls have the opportunity to do such an amazing performance with such amazing music.
10:44Like one of the biggest Broadway shows.
10:46And it's hot right now.
10:47Yeah, right now.
10:48You're on stage, let's go.
10:50You're on a Broadway stage, there's casting agents, there's directors, there's all kinds of people.
10:55Oh, Glow.
10:57Moms, here are the agents that will be at the performance Saturday.
11:01Please research them.
11:02Rebel Creative Group, Artist Collective Entertainment, CESD Talent Agency, and DDO Agency.
11:08Those agents are no joke.
11:09That gives the girls motivation.
11:11Yes, because Layla has to lead doesn't mean that they have to be like, okay, I'm just gonna yes, do whatever.
11:15No, you can still be such an important part of the dance, even if you're not the lead.
11:19This could be a life-changing break for all of us.
11:22Just think about the exposures that they're getting this weekend.
11:25Exactly.
11:26We're steps from Broadway, y'all.
11:27This is so much more than just the normal competition we're used to.
11:30I want to like it, but I don't.
11:33You guys couldn't possibly hit those poses any weaker.
11:36Every step in this dance should be bigger than life, and it's not.
11:39The girls have a lot to live up to this week.
11:42They have the opportunity to change the trajectory of their lives.
11:46One mistake could make all the difference from being on TV, movies, Broadway, or being back home in Ashburn, twiddling their thumbs and thinking about what could have been.
11:58They are literally dancing for their futures.
12:01Put in the work this week.
12:03It's important, more than ever.
12:05No! Get to the middle!
12:12Gina, what are you doing?
12:14It seems like you don't care about it.
12:16If you can't win, that's it.
12:18Win, now come back.
12:19Like what do you think that's doing to your kid and you put her in that headspace?
12:23I do a lot for her!
12:25I'm a coordinator for her!
12:26I do a lot of fun!
12:28Oh my God.
12:29This is Mia's first national solo.
12:31That's a lot of pressure for a ten-year-old.
12:33I have to compete tomorrow.
12:35Yeah, so?
12:36It's okay.
12:37Leah, don't do it!
12:38If ever there was a time to show the world that Project X is a force to be reckoned with, is right now.
13:03This is where it will come out.
13:05You guys see it?
13:06We're taking a break from rehearsal to give the girls a little inspiration.
13:11Since they're dancing to a song from Boop the Musical, we're taking them to see the show tonight.
13:15But before we see the show, we're going to go meet the cast.
13:17I think it's going to be so much fun.
13:19This is where everybody wants to be.
13:22Every dancer dreams of being in New York City, being on Broadway.
13:26This is the place where it can all happen for you.
13:29It's always been a dream to watch a Broadway show, and I'm happy that I...
13:32Have you never seen a Broadway show?
13:33No, I've never seen a Broadway show.
13:34Are you serious?
13:35I've never seen a Broadway show in person.
13:36Me either.
13:37We're in the studio all day.
13:38We're rehearsing.
13:39Okay.
13:40Whatever.
13:41I know.
13:42Y'all need to get out more.
13:43Guys, get your phones ready!
13:44Get your phones ready!
13:45I don't have a phone!
13:46Okay, well, you can get videos from them.
13:49Guys, look who it is!
13:50Can I get pictures?
13:51Yes!
13:52Of course!
13:54Oh, Layla, ask if there's any tips for you.
13:58Those are some really good tips for the show.
14:00Don't be afraid to dig into the cartoon elements.
14:03Be yourself and have fun.
14:05That's how you do it.
14:06That's the key.
14:07We can't wait to see the show.
14:08Thank you so much.
14:09This trip to New York is a real eye-opener.
14:12I hope I get to talk to Jasmine and see what she has to tell me about Betty Boop because,
14:17after all, I will be doing her part.
14:19Woo!
14:20Woo!
14:21Woo!
14:22Woo!
14:23Woo!
14:24Woo!
14:25Am I performing a dance to you as a song?
14:27Yes.
14:28Oh, my gosh, yes!
14:29I'm Betty Boop.
14:30This is Betty.
14:31Yes, ma'am!
14:32Okay!
14:33What are all converting questions?
14:35I would say it's a cartoon.
14:36It's joyous.
14:37It's full of life.
14:38You have the skills.
14:39You have the talent.
14:40Just put them out there.
14:41Betty's message is always, you are capable of amazing things.
14:44Yeah.
14:45You remember that, okay?
14:46Can I get a picture with you?
14:47Of course you may.
14:48I'm a little bit more ready to be Betty.
14:50That was the most exciting thing that has ever happened.
14:53Such a good experience.
14:54I love New York!
14:55I love New York!
14:56Over to Broadway, and it gets you done.
15:01Oh, New York love's just begun!
15:06All right, listen up, listen up, listen up!
15:17The two of you are doing solos this week.
15:19Gina, you're doing a lyrical.
15:21It's called Love Over Fear.
15:23You're gonna have to find a range of emotions, okay?
15:27You should be able to show your beautiful lyrical technique in all of your training, okay?
15:31Mia, you're doing a contemporary, okay?
15:33Yours is called Lightning in a Bottle.
15:35We're gonna have some cool flashing light effects when you're up on stage.
15:38You're gonna be able to show your lines and all of your flexibility, all the things you're really good at, right?
15:43I would love first and second, but I want a national title winning soloist.
15:48We're gonna start with you, Gina, all right?
15:51Earlier this season, Mia and Gina competed solos against each other, and Mia won.
15:57And last season, Gina didn't place with her solo at nationals, and she's getting another opportunity
16:02because she has had such a big season.
16:05But if she doesn't do well this year, I don't see myself giving Gina another solo at nationals ever again.
16:13Don't rush.
16:18Up, still, step, step, go! Up, down, up!
16:23Watch that leg! Step, step!
16:26Up!
16:27It's a little unfair that Gina gets another lyrical.
16:30This is her third lyrical.
16:32She has a very good advantage.
16:33100%.
16:34100%.
16:35Yeah.
16:36Why do you think that is easy?
16:38For Gina, it's easy because she is a ballet dancer, and Mia can't do that.
16:44Mia can.
16:45Mia cannot.
16:47There's obvious baggage between Jing and Ting Ting.
16:50I think they've tried to sweep it under the rug a little bit.
16:53They used to both be at the same dance studio, but then they had a big falling out.
16:57And now that Mia and Gina are going against each other at nationals, it's bringing up all this bad blood between them.
17:04Do it right.
17:07Ugh.
17:08Lost that.
17:09Go!
17:10Reach!
17:11Gina, you're all over the place right now.
17:15And split!
17:16You're early!
17:18Oh, my God.
17:20Looks like Glo's still making the same corrections over and over, though.
17:23Gina, here's the thing.
17:26You're good, and you can do all of this amazingly.
17:30You're just choosing not to.
17:32Yeah.
17:35I'm very happy.
17:36I just told you, because I saw you didn't try your best.
17:40You have to pay 100% attention.
17:42She's saying she's not trying the best.
17:44She needs to put 100% effort in there.
17:47It seems like you don't care about it.
17:50Are you care about the competition and the national competition?
17:53Are you care about that?
17:55I think I'm more care than you.
17:57I suffer a lot to keep Gina to dance.
18:02My whole salary is going to the dance studio.
18:05I'm working for, like, the night shift, and I don't get enough time for sleeping.
18:11So most of the time, I'm sleeping in my car.
18:15There's a lot of money and time.
18:17That's why she has to take seriously and try her best to win.
18:21I don't want you lose to 10 years old.
18:24If you can't win, that's it.
18:27We're not coming back for next season.
18:31I can be like the tiger mom, but I know Gina can handle that pressure.
18:36I help her to get successful, so I'm very mean.
18:40I know, but it's okay.
18:42It's okay.
18:43I give her a lot of pressure.
18:45It's just like, if you don't win the national, you're not coming back.
18:54You told her that?
18:55I told her that.
18:56That, to me, is too extreme.
18:58Sometimes you push her too hard.
19:00You all give your daughter the pressure.
19:02We all pushed our kids, but you are gangster with it.
19:05It's a different level.
19:09Mia, you ready?
19:10Yeah.
19:12This is Mia's first national solo with Project X, and she's undefeated all season.
19:21So that's a lot of pressure for a 10-year-old.
19:26Knees tight.
19:27Knees tight.
19:28Five, six, seven, eight.
19:29Reach.
19:30What?
19:31You're just...
19:33What are you doing?
19:34Stop playing with your fingers.
19:35Take a deep breath.
19:36You're fine.
19:37I'm really nervous that Gina has a lyrical, and I have to compete against her
19:41because Gina's, like, lyrical is Gina's strength, and she beat Audrey with it.
19:45Kind of freaking me out.
19:48You're gonna get points deducted if you cry on stage.
19:50So stop.
19:51My mom definitely treats Mia differently than the rest of the girls when she does have a breakdown, and it's not Mia's fault because she hasn't been told that it's wrong.
20:00Our job as a teacher is to teach them, not to coddle them.
20:03From my standpoint, I love them so much that I'm not gonna accept less than their best because I want that for them.
20:08You're stressed, and you're not focusing on what you're doing.
20:11How is that gonna help if you just stand there and cry?
20:13It's not, but that means I'm gonna mess up both days.
20:16Mia, having a meltdown isn't gonna help matters at all.
20:19I'm scared because I don't wanna mess up.
20:21If I think about it, it's just the same thing as doing another solo at a different competition.
20:27It's just different because it's nationals.
20:29But it's just, it's just a word.
20:32It's just a word.
20:33Nationals is just a word.
20:34Just, you know?
20:36Just a word.
20:37It's not a Mia solo week or lead without a meltdown.
20:41I know you don't wanna mess up, but you are.
20:43So we have to accept that and move on.
20:45You're about to give up.
20:46You're about to give up.
20:47You're about to.
20:48That's what I'm scared of.
20:49Okay, so shh.
20:50So stop.
20:51Stop.
20:52Shh.
20:53No, it's my fault.
20:54I know you messed us up.
20:55You're not.
20:57I mean, she is going up against Gina.
20:59She feels the pressure.
21:00Gina has a pressure, too.
21:02Yeah, but she got the pressure from a competitor, not from her mother.
21:06Yeah.
21:07And you reach and you mouth.
21:10Get some water, Mia.
21:11Get water.
21:12Get water.
21:13You did it.
21:14You kept going.
21:15You kept going.
21:16Get water.
21:17Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen.
21:18Okay, we don't, Mia, we don't have time for it.
21:21We don't have time.
21:22Shh.
21:23Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
21:24Breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe.
21:26Okay.
21:27I'm going in.
21:28You need to take a deep breath.
21:29Look at my feet.
21:30Oh, my God.
21:31Come on!
21:32Layla, you're late.
21:33I'm not doing good enough.
21:34Don't let it break you, girl.
21:35Get it together.
21:36Gina doesn't care, but I care.
21:37She's got to get her solo taken away.
21:38Don't come to me about my relationship with Maggie.
21:39Every mom here has to take from you quite often.
21:43Everybody shut the hell up.
21:44I don't know if I want to do this again.
21:46Ching Ching, why don't you take her out for a minute?
21:49You got to listen to me.
21:50You need to go with your mom and take it away.
21:52Take it away.
21:53Get it together.
21:54Gina doesn't care, but I care.
21:55Ching, she's got to get her solo taken away.
21:56Don't come to me about my relationship with Maggie.
21:57Every mom here has to take from you quite often.
22:00Everybody shut the hell up.
22:02I don't know if I want to do this again.
22:05She's so hard on herself.
22:06I know she'll do it.
22:07She always does it.
22:08She pulls it out.
22:09I know, but I feel like you know that it takes some time.
22:12Maybe for nationals, you can't wait.
22:14Like, you can't trust that they're going to get there.
22:15She'll get there.
22:16But it needs to be people that are there, like, immediately.
22:18If she stops, take the solo away.
22:19If she's not going to behave like she needs to,
22:21don't give her more opportunities.
22:22I know.
22:23I know.
22:24I know.
22:25I know.
22:26I know.
22:27I know.
22:28I know.
22:29I know.
22:30I know.
22:31I know.
22:32I know.
22:33I know.
22:34If I could ask her more opportunities,
22:35I get that she's talented,
22:36but someone has to learn.
22:37She's 10 years old, you know?
22:39You don't even attempt.
22:40Kaylie.
22:41You just let her, and you...
22:42Kaylie.
22:43Have you seen...
22:44Let me give you a hug.
22:45But you did the same thing with Audrey when she was young,
22:47and look how that turned out.
22:48I'm not gonna punish a child
22:52because they're struggling.
22:54She needs some support.
22:55That's what she needs.
22:56She needs somebody to be there for her.
22:58I have to compete tomorrow.
23:00Yeah!
23:01So?
23:02Deep breaths.
23:03I need you to pull it together and don't do this again
23:06so you have more time.
23:08Do you understand?
23:10I've never seen her this nervous before a solo.
23:13So that was eye-opening to me, even.
23:18Mia, go.
23:24Tight, fast feet.
23:25Turn.
23:28Squeeze your nut.
23:29Tight, tight, tight, tight.
23:31She is very scared of Gina's solo.
23:36So this is when I come in, I need to de-pressure that.
23:38I don't believe in you.
23:40I think the pressure from you is not me thinking about it.
23:44That's what you do, Jane.
23:46I feel for Gina.
23:47I feel like you're too hard on her sometimes.
23:49Are you Gina?
23:49I'm not Gina, but I grow up having a mom like you.
23:54My mom was a tiger mom, a typical Asian tiger mom.
23:57And this is why I am the mother I am today, because I don't treat my daughter that way,
24:03right?
24:03Because I don't agree with that parenting style.
24:05I see her constantly crying and telling you, don't talk to me.
24:09I don't want to talk to you.
24:10She feels too much pressure when you're there.
24:13Why does she cry when you go to backstage?
24:15The pressure that you give Gina is so high.
24:25You believe that it works, but at what cost?
24:29I only want to do the things like help my kids chasing her dream and make her dream come true.
24:36Jane, is it Gina's dream or your dream?
24:39Because you say I a lot.
24:40That is not my dream.
24:42From what we see, that's not how she is.
24:46Tintin, shut up.
24:47I'm very close with Gina.
24:49We're a very healthy relationship.
24:52You're really upset about this.
24:53We're just trying to help you here.
24:55I need your help.
24:56Why you think you're helping me?
24:57She is fine.
24:59I see her cry a lot.
25:01Don't bring it up, Tintin.
25:01That is the last time I just told you.
25:04They don't know my relationship with my daughter, and they just see her to judge me.
25:10It's not right.
25:12I love Gina so much.
25:13That's why I push her, and she needs me to give her the pressure.
25:20Man, man, man, man.
25:21Three, four, five, six, no!
25:24I don't believe anything you're doing!
25:28Amber Lake, travel!
25:30Layla, you're late!
25:31Already, they're hot.
25:33My beginning part is a hot mess.
25:34You guys have to take this downstage, okay?
25:36Doesn't mean you leap downstage.
25:38You leap straight across.
25:39You have to start up here.
25:40What? No!
25:41They can't do a diagonal straddle leap, Kaylee.
25:44They're all literally leaping like this.
25:47Okay, whatever.
25:48Who wants my help, won't let me help.
25:50For her to still be discounting everything I have to say is really frustrating,
25:54because I feel like I've picked up a lot of slack when she's distracted by Audrey and Tammy.
26:01I've been the one there to work with the kids.
26:03So, knowing that she brought me here to help her, but then only wants my help when it's convenient to her,
26:08makes me question why she wanted me here in the first place.
26:11Layla, you need to know the words that she talks.
26:15Say, now I'm blushing.
26:17Now I'm blushing.
26:18I'm blushing.
26:19Oh.
26:20Oh.
26:21Oh.
26:22Oh.
26:23No, that's not, like, it's way more cutesy.
26:25Okay, now you just look like you're not trying, like you don't care.
26:29Mia.
26:30There we go.
26:31Leslie, you might have to intervene.
26:33Yeah, I'm gonna say she's trying to take her part.
26:35Go like this.
26:36Ooh.
26:37Do you see her eyes?
26:40I don't feel like you really are trying.
26:42You just chill with her for a minute and help her out, because I can't.
26:46It's okay, it's okay.
26:47Don't open your eyes, like, too much.
26:49Just open them like that.
26:52No, no, no, that's too much.
26:54I don't like you.
26:55I don't know if I can do that.
26:56Oops.
26:57Oops.
26:59Okay.
27:00I just want to have a few words with her.
27:05I'll lay off.
27:06It's okay.
27:07I'm not doing good.
27:09It's not like I'm not doing good enough.
27:13But I also feel like it...
27:17Baby, we talked about this.
27:19Yes, I know.
27:20You are...
27:21Look at me.
27:22Don't let it break you, girl.
27:23You can do this.
27:24Okay.
27:25Get it together.
27:26It's not helping.
27:27Listen, we're all rooting for Layla.
27:29We want her to do well.
27:30Yeah.
27:31We need her to do well.
27:32We want her to do well, but this is Layla.
27:34That's the thing about this.
27:35She has the talent.
27:37Like, she has the gift.
27:40It's just getting it out there is so hard.
27:45Okay, let me show you something.
27:47No, don't show me anything.
27:48I'm gonna show you.
27:49No, stop.
27:50Mom, stop.
27:51When you're doing...
27:52Just raise your eyebrows and smile.
27:53Mom, stop.
27:54Mom.
27:55Eyebrows.
27:56Stop.
27:57Okay.
27:58Can you get it together?
27:59Yes.
28:00Let me see.
28:01You smile, and you give me Betty Boop look.
28:02Look.
28:03Eyebrows.
28:04Smile.
28:05No, take a deep breath.
28:07Mom.
28:08Stop.
28:09Layla, we need to run the dance.
28:11She's good.
28:12Come on.
28:13Get it together.
28:14Hey, guys.
28:15You ready?
28:16She's just feeling the pressure, which is to be expected.
28:19But I'm not gonna let my daughter break down.
28:21We didn't come this far to just squander an opportunity like this.
28:24This is why we're here.
28:25So I'm not gonna let this pass us.
28:26I'm not.
28:27All right.
28:28Yeah, girl.
28:29Hey.
28:30Mia, where's your hand?
28:31Lily, you don't look happy.
28:32You look like confused.
28:33Ashley, you don't look happy either.
28:34Smile.
28:35I personally feel like the girls have been overconfident this season because they've won every competition
28:53so far.
28:54And I think this week for the first time ever, the pressure is really starting to kick in.
28:58Yeah.
28:59I mean, casting directors, agents, choreographers will all be watching.
29:03And these girls know what that means.
29:05They look up to Maddie Ziegler and JoJo Siwa.
29:08And they know that if they get the performance of their lives, their dreams could come true.
29:18Gina, you have no idea what you're doing.
29:21Not a clue.
29:22Go!
29:23Get to the middle!
29:25Gina, what are you doing?
29:28Uh, whoa, whoa, whoa.
29:30Gina, you have not one clue.
29:31Not a clue.
29:32A single step in this dance.
29:33Not one clue.
29:34Nope.
29:35I don't know when you're gonna figure it out because you go on stage in 24 hours.
29:38But you're gonna figure it out because this is your last rehearsal.
29:41Jing, she's about to get her solo taken away because she doesn't know this group.
29:45And that is not fair to any of these kids in here.
29:47Katie, I try my best to help her, but she doesn't care.
29:52I can't help.
29:53Okay, so make her practice it.
29:54Keep her in her room and make her go over her dance.
29:57Katie.
29:58No, that's on you.
29:59I understand your frustration with her, and I'm glad that you understand why we're frustrated with her too.
30:04But you're responsible for what she does on her time off.
30:06I'm very upset because Gina doesn't care, but I care.
30:10If I don't give her the pressure, she can't win.
30:13That's why she needed me here.
30:15Jing already told her if she doesn't win national, she's not coming back to the elite team.
30:19I will not come back for next season.
30:20Seriously?
30:21Yeah, she did.
30:22Yup.
30:23I tried to give her the pressure.
30:24I want she can feel that.
30:26I want she can pay attention, but she doesn't want it.
30:29How can I do for her?
30:31I do a lot for her!
30:33I'm a coordinator now!
30:36You guys go.
30:37Bye.
30:38Go out.
30:39Go out.
30:40Go out.
30:41Go out.
30:42You just pushed me.
30:43I'm trying to help you.
30:44All we're trying to tell you is...
30:45Tami, I already don't want talking with you.
30:46You're worse.
30:47It hurt me.
30:48And the moms didn't want Tami back because of the drama?
31:09Today's the day.
31:10This is Nationals in the heart of the Big Apple.
31:11There's a lot going on.
31:12We have Gina and Mia that are doing solos.
31:13And for the group number, we have been gifted this incredible song from Boop the Musical.
31:29And on top of that, we have five of the top agencies in New York City in the house watching these girls.
31:35This could be life changing for them.
31:39Oh, yeah.
31:40Oh, yeah.
31:42Well, let's be honest.
31:44It's been a rough couple of weeks.
31:46I've lost my star student.
31:48I've lost one of my best friends.
31:50And yesterday, I thought we were losing Jing and Gina.
31:53Listen up.
31:54I need all moms and solo dancers to come with me to the green room.
31:57But for now, I need to focus on Mia and Gina.
32:01One of them could walk away with a national title.
32:04And one of them definitely will not.
32:10Do you need help, Gina?
32:12No?
32:13Okay.
32:17Have you guys been able to talk after what happened yesterday?
32:20The air feels a little tense.
32:23I know you had a lot of emotions.
32:25So if you want to talk about it or not, you have to say something, Jing.
32:31Jing, we're not trying to, like, pressure you into anything.
32:34It just honestly, like, even just for team camaraderie, like, we all want to have a good time.
32:38It's our last competition of the season.
32:40You all judge about me and Gina.
32:43I only care about the place.
32:45I don't care about my kids' feelings.
32:47That's all you guys talk to me.
32:49All I'm saying is when Mia's sad, she comes to me for comfort.
32:52And Gina doesn't do that.
32:54Gina, when you have a hard time, you come to your mom, you come to somebody else.
32:58Yeah.
32:59Okay.
33:00How you can judge my parenting to my kids?
33:04That's totally making me crazy!
33:06Oh!
33:07Oh!
33:08Shh!
33:09Can we take the kids out?
33:10Gina.
33:11Please, take the kids out.
33:12Gina, go, baby.
33:13Can I just say something to Gina?
33:14You don't need to talk to my kids.
33:16Stop talking with her.
33:17Gina, I just don't want this to impact.
33:19Just cover your ass.
33:20Nobody love you more than your mom.
33:21Go!
33:22I'm just, like, frustrated with Ting Ting right now because I don't think she really gets
33:27me.
33:28My mom has to be hard on me because I know what to do sometimes, but then I don't do it.
33:33I'm really thankful that I have her to do that, and I just don't think the other will
33:37see that.
33:38We all see the effort you're putting in.
33:41What is happening?
33:42She won't receive anything we're trying to tell her.
33:45Don't come to me and talk about my relationship with my kids.
33:49Okay, Gina, breathe.
33:50Breathe.
33:51Just take a deep breath.
33:52Everybody, let her be, and I'm not saying that God has stricken us down.
33:57I'm not saying that you guys have done it, but whatever she's feeling, her feelings are
34:02valid.
34:03If she doesn't win, she's leaving.
34:04If we don't have the conversation now, I'm not letting Gina leave.
34:06You guys are not trying to help me.
34:09You are trying to give me pressure.
34:11No pressure.
34:12Everybody shut the hell up.
34:19Feels like we're getting blamed for everything.
34:21These seven grown-ass women are going to sabotage Mia and Gina and everything they have worked
34:28for.
34:29Okay, this is it, Gina.
34:30Okay?
34:31They have sacrificed everything, and they deserve the opportunity to step out on that
34:36stage and show the world what they're made of.
34:42Okay, Mia.
34:43Here we go.
34:44Up, up.
34:45Careful.
34:46I know it's slippery.
34:47Be here.
34:48Careful.
34:51It's okay.
34:52No, no, no, no, no, no.
34:53Restart.
34:54Okay, we're gonna restart.
34:55Mia, don't do it.
34:56Mia, we're gonna start over.
34:57Mia.
34:58Shh.
34:59Mia, stop.
35:00We're gonna start over.
35:01Shh.
35:02Okay, take a deep breath.
35:03Wait, listen to me.
35:04You have time to maybe run this once, so don't get yourself worked up.
35:07It's fine.
35:08Every single time Mia messes up and asks to stop the music, my mom stops it and lets her
35:12start over.
35:13If she messes up on stage, she's gonna stop.
35:14Okay.
35:15And that's your fault because you should be training her to not do that.
35:17Yes, ma'am.
35:18Yes, ma'am.
35:19This is it.
35:20Gina, you have to emote.
35:21Mia, you have to trust yourself.
35:23Don't freak out.
35:24One of you could be national champion.
35:26That's huge.
35:27I love you both so much.
35:30And guess what?
35:31I know that you both can do this.
35:33I have no doubt in the world.
35:35Really?
35:36Yeah, really.
35:49I've been thinking about how this is like a lot of pressure on me to win because my mom
35:59said that if I didn't, then I wouldn't be on the team anymore.
36:02I think I just have to emote and do what I have to do and be the best of myself.
36:06Number 52, Love Over Fear.
36:09It doesn't matter if you mess up real bad.
36:24Take the lesson, let the past be the past.
36:28Today's a brand new day.
36:34Woo!
36:35It's never hopeless if you don't think it is.
36:38It's really all in how you're looking at it.
36:42You gotta push on through the pain.
36:48And oh, took me ages and ages to see.
36:55And oh, the voice inside is talking to me.
37:01Say you got the power.
37:03You got the power.
37:05And it starts right here.
37:07It starts right here.
37:09It starts right here.
37:11It's just a love over fear.
37:13It's just a love over fear.
37:15It's just a love over fear.
37:17You got the power.
37:19Yeah, yeah.
37:21Love over fear.
37:31Gina's beautiful on stage, but she actually improved a couple things.
37:43She didn't do the choreography the way it was set.
37:45I think the pressure of nationals got in her head.
37:49How are you doing right now?
37:51I'm really nervous.
37:53I got freaked out in the green room and I forgot it.
37:55I cannot let that happen on stage.
37:57I'm so nervous.
37:58Can you please stop talking to me?
37:59I can't.
38:02Contestant number 53, lightning in a bottle.
38:05Let's go.
38:07Please stop talking to me.
38:09Don't call me.
38:10Please stop talking to me.
38:11No!
38:12Go, go, go!
38:13Go, go, go, go!
38:14Woo!
38:15Woo!
38:16Woo!
38:17Woo!
38:18Woo!
38:19Woo!
38:20Woo!
38:25Woo!
38:26Woo!
38:30Woo!
38:31Woo!
38:33Woo!
38:34Oh
38:48Oh my god, damn it. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going
39:04Keep going. Watch what I tell you. It doesn't matter. She was. But she wasn't gonna go. She wasn't. There was nothing that I could do. I told you so. In every rehearsal she ever had. When she gets her dancer. She has a bell down. Go in every rehearsal.
39:32I've never seen you that nervous before. You got to see them. This is what happens. I'm not mad at you, baby. I'm not mad at you. I'm just saying, can you please calm down?
39:43Tintin is trying to teach me how to be like a better mom. But look how Smea did. Don't teach me. Use my way. Tina can handle the pressure. And she can be winning every competition.
39:56You won another chance. You advocate for yourself. You earned that second chance. Okay?
40:05If a dancer forgets their routine, the judges deduct points if they go a second time.
40:11You got this. I can do this. I got this. Okay? Okay. I can do it. Did you forget?
40:18Uh, it just got in my head and I freaked out. Okay. That's okay. But we'll deduct points. Don't worry about that.
40:26Don't worry about that. How about you go out there and you start from the very beginning. You tell your story. Don't worry about any points. Okay?
40:32The judges are there to watch you. We're all here to support you. Okay? Thank you. So start over. Here we go.
40:38I'm like, what is happening? I would never have done that. But it took a lot of courage for her to go back on stage.
40:45Let's go, Mia!
40:48You went up to her with so much determination and you just advocated for yourself. Like, I was like, that's my girl and that's what I've been training you for.

42:46It's exactly what I told her.
42:48It's gonna happen if she...
42:50What'd she do that time?
42:52After she ran off the first time.
42:54Guess what? She did improv half of that dance.
42:56She stayed on.
42:58You actually did pretty good,
43:00because I don't think anybody noticed except for me
43:02and Ms. Glow, Ms. Kaylee,
43:04maybe some of the moms,
43:06you know.
43:08Wait, that's a lot of people.
43:10Alright, well,
43:12not gonna lie, not your best.
43:14I'm disappointed for you guys,
43:16right?
43:18Because you worked so hard.
43:20You knew these dances.
43:22And I told you, you can't get in your head.
43:24Alright.
43:26Solos are out of our head.
43:28Anything else that's been going on this morning
43:30is out of our head.
43:32We are moving forward.
43:34The only thing I am concerned about right now
43:36is this group routine.
43:38You're a team, right?
43:40This is an important thing right now.
43:42This is what matters.
43:46It's where I wanna be.
43:48So, so far, this nationals
43:50has kind of been a disaster.
43:52It's up to Layla to turn this all on.
43:54Seems like this group dance might be her only
43:56chance at a national title.
43:58Ow!
44:00You've got this.
44:02I love you all. We're gonna crush this
44:04and we're gonna celebrate after.
44:06Let's do this! Let's go!
44:08Woo!
44:20Sometimes the stars just align from moments like this.
44:22Like, we were in Nashville
44:24and minding our business.
44:26Right?
44:28I'm really nervous because this is my first lead role
44:30by myself and I really don't wanna mess it up
44:32and especially because this is nationals.
44:34If we win this, we were undefeated
44:36the whole season.
44:37And if we don't win it,
44:38I feel like it's gonna be my fault.
44:40I have to go poo.
44:41PSTC!
44:42Do you really?
44:43Yeah.
44:44Kinda do.
44:45Okay.
44:46But I can hold it.
44:47I don't know if it's poo or a fart.
44:48Sometimes I fart when I'm nervous
44:50and I'm really nervous.
44:51Probably some nervous farts.
44:53Musical Theatre Small Group, 11 through 12.
44:55It all comes down to this.
44:57If ever there was a time to show the world
45:01that Project X is a force to be reckoned with
45:04is right now.
45:05There's so much riding on Layla's shoulders right now.
45:07The pressure she must be feeling, I can't even imagine.
45:09There's so much riding on Layla's shoulders right now.
45:14The pressure she must be feeling, I can't even imagine.
45:16Number 135, boop.
45:25There's so much riding on Layla's shoulders right now.
45:31The pressure she must be feeling, I can't even imagine.
45:41Number 135, Boop.
45:43Okay, fellas, key of G, wait, you're saying, who is she?
46:03Hey, they're New York Times.
46:10Put your ears on, and let's Burnley's band stand down.
46:29Let's get it!
46:31I should know I'm not from here, local legends like some here.
46:36Yeah, but now that I've come here, it's where I want to be.
46:40Love the music you're playing, got me stomping and swaying.
46:45You're open, but I'm staying, it's where I want to be.
46:49Let me hear some of the old strong licks, base it for me in the mix.
46:53I got power, wait for kicks, and leave some room for me.
46:56I got, leave some room for me.
47:00Play the people.
47:04Play the people.
47:06Play the people.
47:08And make my heart go bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam.
47:13Yeah!
47:13I'm playing my song here, telling me I belong here.
47:17Nothing bad feels wrong here.
47:19I'm where I want to be.
47:20Yeah!
47:20I'm where I want to be.
47:22S-O-M-T-H-E-R-E-A-S!
47:28This world will slip to the moon, except a thousand times better.
47:32This girl may swoon, and if she does, I'd better.

48:07This is FreedĐžŃДлŃŃŃĐČĐŸ.
48:08There's a big pipe,
48:09a tiny piece.
48:10You know a high piece.
48:11You're new world!
48:12I want to be
48:25I have just witnessed Layla's breakout performance, and I think that this is the start of something big for her
48:42Dancers are you ready?
48:49Junior solo 9 to 12 top 10 here at ignite nationals
48:58In 10th place we're gonna line it up number 46 I will get there
49:02I think the pressure definitely got to Gina and Mia today
49:06Well, I think that James ultimatum messed Gina up
49:08And I think that ting ting and you are too soft with Mia, and it made her completely forget her solo
49:148th place
49:17Number 52 love over fear Gina project X
49:23I got 8th place and my mom gave me this ultimatum that if I didn't win then I'd have to leave this team
49:30I really love the girls. I really love miss glow, and I don't want to say goodbye because they're like family
49:35I'm just gonna miss all the memories that we've made together
49:40over these years
49:44In fourth place
49:51Number 53 lightning in a bottle we are project X
49:54297.8
49:59I beat Gina, but fourth is the worst that I've ever gotten in her life
50:07Are y'all ready for your junior small group?
50:12What really matters at nationals is that overall category
50:15Which means the best out of all the winners in every age division?
50:19But in order to qualify for that we first have to win junior small groups third place
50:26Entry 101 empire state of mind try body
50:31Second place
50:36Entry 129 will be fine exquisite house of dance
50:39I'm really nervous that we're not going to win because if we lose and i'm the lead i'm not going to be miss glow's special project
50:48I'm going to be miss glow's special letdown
50:52And in first place
50:55Entry 135
50:57Everybody give it up for your top 10 junior small group
51:08Now that we won first place in junior small groups that qualifies us for the overall national title
51:13Everything that we've worked so hard for all season has been building up to this moment
51:19And now
51:21Everybody please give me a drum roll
51:23Your first place national champions are
51:31Entry 135 Boothman of the box
51:39Everybody can take your time to be over our schools
51:46I'm beyond proud this is our first season as project x and we didn't just show up we
51:52dominated
51:55Undefeated
52:02I will never forget this moment i will never forget this dance i will never forget this team
52:07i will never forget this season so many people have worked so hard to help get you here but you guys have
52:14worked hardest of all layla i'm so proud of you um i'm really glad that i had this big opportunity and
52:20I didn't let anybody down i think
52:23Layla led those girls to a national title seeing a student get an opportunity to shine like this
52:29That's what teaching dance is all about
52:32Gina you and mia both laced in the top 10 with solos that
52:37Were definitely not your best a lot of it had to do with some events that happened this morning and i think that there was a lot of tension in the room
52:43In the room however we should be celebrating we won we're undefeated
52:49We won our group one let's go
52:52Project x
52:56I love you guys i'm proud of you you guys can go
52:59Overall it's been a hell of a day we're national champions but there are still
53:06Some major unresolved issues with jing and the moms and after last week with tammy
53:11I want to settle this now so it doesn't build into something that is unsolvable
53:16This was some roller coaster like what we just did
53:21But how do we fix the situation that's been happening with jing right now
53:25We need to move forward and figure out what we're gonna do i agree we need to move forward
53:29Jing i know that you gave gina an ultimatum and she didn't win so where's your head now
53:36We don't want them to leave we really don't if you say something is not true
53:40That is a hurt my feeling
53:43Jing
53:44It's about gina it's not about you
53:48Every mom here has to take from you quite often but it's not about them they're here for their kids jing
53:54Gina went out and got eighth place today after all the work and time we've put into her because of you all week
54:01You telling her i'm gonna quit the team if you don't win what do you think that's doing to your kid?
54:06And you put her in that head space
54:08Can we maybe just agree that we all need a break we all need time to think let gina go
54:15Don't speak i'm talking don't let gina get on that bus thinking you're pulling her out
54:21So you don't understand
54:24Jing are you gonna quit yes or no because mom you said we need to move forward so let's move forward jing
54:28Are you putting yes or no i quit okay then get out
54:31No get out we need to move forward with our team that we're gonna have in the future so get out jing
54:37Don't do this no if you're gonna quit get out
54:41No no no no no jing please don't do that
54:44I think that you were a better mom than tammy
54:47Kaylee don't ever judge a parent when you don't have children stop that
54:52I might sound like i'm being harsh right now but in my opinion i'm making up for the damage that my mom is allowing to happen
55:00If she wants project x to be successful long term she's going to have to learn how to put her foot down
55:05This behavior cannot keep happening everybody go everybody go all of you leave
55:10jing we'll talk about this later
55:12i know my kid and i know there's something much more going on than this whole thing with jing
55:19there's something bothering her and i need to figure out what it is what is wrong with you
55:25i feel like i'm reliving last week all over again
55:28jing can you please come here so we can say something
55:33please can we just talk
55:35kaylee when someone has had enough
55:38you back off you let it be
55:42all we said is you're too harsh on gina why was that so hard for you
55:46why was that so hard for you not it's not so hard for me you it's not you exploded whatever you do
55:54how do you look at someone who's literally on the verge of a breakdown and just continue to yell at them
56:00it's been a hard season for me i thought my mom brought me here to help her but she's kind of
56:08just dismissed all of my opinions yes she is my mom i want to help her but if she's just going to
56:13continue to shut me down then why am i going to keep putting my own life on pause for that
56:19i wish you would listen to me more
56:23i wish you would listen to me more all season it was really hard every time i said something you
56:29have told me to just stop talking like what did you bring me here for if not to help you 10 wins in a
56:36row you did not have 10 wins in a row last season i'm not saying it's only me i came home from my ballet
56:46career got it taken away from me and i came straight into this i love doing this for the kids and i
56:54love being here for the kids but i still have not taken time to decide what i want to do for myself
57:02and because i have some things that i feel like i like missed out on or things that i
57:08wish maybe was different like that doesn't take away from everything that you have done for me like i
57:15you know that i get frustrated at times but i don't know what i would do if you weren't my mom
57:22but for the first time in my life i want to be the one to make a decision on what i choose to do
57:29i don't know if i want to do this again
57:39and say if you want me here or not of course i want you back next season it'll probably drive
57:44each other crazy again but i wouldn't want anybody else other than you to be the one to drive me crazy
57:50of course there's a small part of me that really hoped she would be happy that we would build this
57:55family business and carry on my legacy but now that i see that she's unhappy i see the resentment
58:02building in her and i don't want my daughter to resent me ever as a mother all you want is to see
58:10your kid happy kaylee needs to live her life and whatever that is it's all up to her now and i have to
58:18be okay with that support with whatever you want to do you know that i always have i don't know what
58:28the future holds for project x we lost our star dancer audrey we might be losing gina and now kaylee
58:36might not be coming back to coach i'm terrified of what next season might look like because more than
58:43anything i'm scared to do it alone
