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.
12:05Go! 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 or not, come back.
12:19Like what do you think that's doing to your kid and you put her in that head space?
12:23I do a lot for her!
12:24I'm a coordinator for her!
12:26I do a lot for her!
12:27Oh my God.
12:29This is Mia's first national solo.
12:31That's a lot of pressure for a 10-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.
22:34But I'm looking for more opportunities.
22:35I get that she's talented, but someone has to learn.
22:37She's 10 years old.
22:38You know?
22:39You don't even attempt.
22:40Kayleigh?
22:41You just let her, and you...
22:42Kayleigh?
22:43Have you seen...
22:44Okay, let 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 going to punish a child, because they're struggling.
22:53She needs some support.
22:55That's what she needs.
22:56She needs somebody to be there for her.
22:58I like to compete tomorrow.
22:59Yeah, so?
23:00So?
23:01Deep breaths.
23:02Breathe.
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.
23:14So that was eye-opening to me, even.
23:16Mm-hmm.
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?
23:50I'm not Gina, but I grow up having a mom like you.
23:54My mom was a tiger mom, a typical Asian tiger mom.
23:58And this is why I am the mother I am today,
24:00because I don't treat my daughter that way, right?
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.
24:11She feels too much pressure when you're there.
24:13Why does she cry when you go to backstage?
24:15You have to win this week.
24:17She's talking to me like that.
24:22The 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
24:34and make her dream come true.
24:36Jane, is it Gina's dream or your dream?
24:39Because you say I a lot.
24:41That is not my dream.
24:43From 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 don't need your help.
24:56Why you think you're helping me?
24:57She is fine.
24:59I see her cry a lot.
25:00Don't bring it up, Tintin.
25:01That is the last time I just told you.
25:05They don't know my relationship with my daughter,
25:08and then 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.
25:15And she needs me to give her the pressure.
25:20Mail, mail, mail, mail.
25:21Three, four, five, six, go!
25:25I don't believe anything you're doing!
25:28Amber Lange, travel!
25:30Layla, you're late.
25:31Already, they're hot.
25:33That beginning part is a hot mess.
25:34You guys have to take this downstage, OK?
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.
25:47OK, whatever.
25:49Who wants my help, won't let me help.
25:50For her to still be discounting everything I have to say
25:53is really frustrating because I feel
25:56like I've picked up a lot of slack
25:58when 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,
26:05but 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.
26:16Say, now I'm blushing.
26:17Now I'm blushing.
26:19Oh.
26:20Oh.
26:21Oh.
26:22Oh.
26:23No, that's not, like, it's way more cutesy.
26:27OK, now you just look like you're not trying,
26:28like you don't care.
26:29Mia.
26:31Here we go.
26:32Leslie, you might have to intervene.
26:34Yeah, I'm sure she said to take her part.
26:36Go like this.
26:37Ooh.
26:37Do you see her eyes?
26:40I don't feel like you really are trying.
26:43You would chill with her for a minute and help her out,
26:45because I can't.
26:47It's OK, it's OK.
26:48Don't open your eyes, like, too much.
26:50Just open them like that.
26:52No, no, no, that's too much.
26:54Don't like that.
26:55I don't know if I can do that.
26:56Oops.
26:57Oops.
27:00OK.
27:00I just want to have a few words with her.
27:05I'll lay off.
27:06It's OK.
27:08I'm not doing good.
27:10Not like I'm not doing good enough.
27:13But I also feel like it.
27:18Baby, we talk about this.
27:19Yes, I know.
27:20You are.
27:20Look at me.
27:22Don't let it break you, girl.
27:23You can do this.
27:25Get it together.
27:26It's not helping.
27:27Listen, we're all rooting for Layla.
27:29We want her to do well.
27:31We need her to do well.
27:32We want her to do well.
27:32But this is Layla.
27:34That's the thing about this.
27:35She has the talent.
27:38Like, she has the gift.
27:40It's just getting it out.
27:43There is so hard.
27:45OK.
27:46Let me show you something.
27:47No, don't show me anything.
27:48I'm going to show you.
27:48No, no, no.
27:49I'm going to show you.
27:49Look, Luke.
27:50When you're doing look, just raise your eyebrows and smile.
27:53Mom, stop.
27:54Mom.
27:54Eyebrows.
27:55Mom.
27:55Stop.
27:56OK.
27:56Can you get it together?
27:57Yes.
27:58Let me see.
27:58You smile.
28:00And you give me Betty Boop look.
28:01Look, look.
28:02Eyebrows.
28:03Smile.
28:04No, take a deep breath.
28:07Mom.
28:08Stop.
28:09Layla, we need to run the dance.
28:11She's good.
28:11Come 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 going to let my daughter break down.
28:21We didn't come this far to just squander an opportunity like this.
28:25This is why we're here.
28:26So I'm not going to let this pass us.
28:28I'm not going to let my daughter break down.
28:29All right.
28:30All right.
28:31Yes.
28:32Yeah, girl.
28:33You're saying, who is she?
28:35Hey.
28:36Mia, where's your hand?
28:37Lily, you don't look happy.
28:38You look, like, confused.
28:39Ashley, you don't look happy either.
28:40Smile.
28:41I 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, I 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, and they know that if they get the performance
29:11of their lives, their dreams could come true.
29:18Gina, you have no idea what you're doing.
29:21Not a clue.
29:23Go!
29:24Get to the middle!
29:25Gina, what are you doing?
29:29Uh, whoa, whoa, whoa.
29:31Gina, you have not one clue of a single step in this dance.
29:34Not one clue.
29:35Nope.
29:36I don't know when you're going to figure it out because you go on stage in 24 hours,
29:39but you're going to figure it out because this is your last rehearsal.
29:42Jing, 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.
29:48Katie, I tried my best to help her, but she doesn't care.
29:53I can't help.
29:54Okay, so make her practice it.
29:56Keep her in her room and make her go over her dance.
29:58Katie.
29:59No, that's on you.
30:00I understand your frustration with her, and I'm glad that you understand why we're frustrated
30:04with her, too.
30:05But you're responsible for what she does on her time off.
30:07I'm very upset because Gina doesn't care, but I care.
30:11If I don't give her the pressure, she can't win.
30:13That's why she needed me here.
30:16Gina already told her if she doesn't win national, she's not coming back to the elite.
30:19She did not come back for next season.
30:21Seriously?
30:22Yeah, she did.
30:23Yep.
30:24I tried to give her the pressure.
30:25I want she can feel that.
30:26I want she can pay attention, but she doesn't want it.
30:30How can I do for her?
30:32I do a lot for her!
30:35I'm a coordinator, I know!
30:37You guys go.
30:38Bye.
30:39Go out.
30:40Go out.
30:41Go out.
30:42Go out.
30:43Go out.
30:44Go out.
30:45Go out.
30:46Go out.
30:46You just pushed me.
30:47I'm trying to help you.
30:49All we're trying to tell you is-
30:51Tami, I already don't want talking with you.
30:53Your worst is hurt.
30:55And the moms didn't want Tami back because of the drama?
31:11Today's the day.
31:16This is Nationals in the heart of the Big Apple.
31:19There's a lot going on.
31:21We have Gina and Mia that are doing solos.
31:23And for the group number, we have been gifted this incredible song from Boop the Musical.
31:28And 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.
31:42But 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.
31:58But 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?
32:12Uh-uh.
32:13No?
32:14Okay.
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, so if you want to talk about it.
32:28Or not.
32:29You have to say something, Jing.
32:32Jing, 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.
32:41You all judge about me and Gina.
32:44I 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.
32:53Gina, 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!
33:07Can we take the kids out?
33:10Gina.
33:11Please, take the kids out.
33:12Can 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.
33:18I just don't want this to impact.
33:19Just, just cover your arms.
33:21Nobody love you over it than your mom.
33:24Go.
33:25I'm just, like, frustrated with Ting Ting right now because I don't think she really gets me.
33:29My mom has to be hard on me because I know what to do sometimes, but then I don't do it.
33:34I'm really thankful that I have her to do that, and I just don't think the other mom see that.
33:38Wait, 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.
33:49Gina, 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 valid.
34:02If she doesn't win, she's leaving.
34:04If we don't have the conversation now.
34:05I'm not letting Gina leave.
34:06You guys is not trying to help me.
34:09You are trying to give me pressure.
34:11No, we're not pressure.
34:12What?
34:13Everybody!
34:14Shut 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 for.
34:28Okay, this is it, Gina, okay?
34:30They have sacrificed everything, and they deserve the opportunity to step out on that stage and show the world what they're made of.
34:38Okay, Mia.
34:39Here we go.
34:40Up, up.
34:41Careful.
34:42I know it's slippery.
34:43Be here.
34:44Careful.
34:45It's okay.
34:46No, no, no, no.
34:47Restart.
34:48Okay, we're going to restart.
34:49Mia, don't do it.
34:50Mia, we're going to start over.
34:51Mia.
34:52Shh.
34:53Mia, stop.
34:54We're going to start over.
34:55Shh.
34:56Okay, take a deep breath.
34:57Wait, listen to me.
34:58You have time to maybe run this once, so don't get yourself worked up.
34:59It's fine.
35:00Every single time Mia messes up and asks to stop the music, my mom stops it and lets her start over.
35:05If she messes up on stage, she's going to stop.
35:06Okay.
35:07And that's your fault, because you should be training her to not do that.
35:08Yes, ma'am.
35:09Yes, ma'am.
35:10Sorry.
35:11This is it.
35:12Gina, you have to emote.
35:13Mia, you have to trust yourself.
35:14Don't freak out.
35:15One of you could be national champion.
35:16That's huge.
35:17I love you both so much.
35:18And guess what?
35:19I know that you both can do this.
35:20I have no doubt in the world.
35:21I have no doubt in the world.
35:22You have to be a national champion.
35:23I love you both so much.
35:24And guess what?
35:25I know that you both can do this.
35:26Really?
35:27Yeah, really.
35:28Ha!
35:29I 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.
35:34Really?
35:35Yeah, really.
35:36I've been thinking about how this is like a lot of pressure on me to win because my mom said
35:59that if I didn't then I wouldn't be on the team anymore. I think I just have to moat and do what
36:04I have to do and be the best of myself. Number 52, Love Over Fear
36:34it's never hopeless if you don't think it is. It's really all in how you're looking at it. You gotta push on through the pain.
36:46And love took me ages and ages to see that all the voice inside is talking to me saying you got the power and it starts right here.
37:08Love over fear. Love over fear.
37:15Love over fear.
37:21Love over fear.
37:30Oh no!
37:33Gina's beautiful on stage, but she actually
37:41improbbed a couple of 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?
37:52Really 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.
38:02Contestant number 53, lightning in a bottle.
38:32dangerous.
38:33Oh
38:48My god, I mean David keep going keep going keep going
39:03Keep going what I tell you
39:20It doesn't matter you always but she wasn't gonna do what if you had there was time that I could do
39:26In every rehearsal daily, how do you think? That's her dance?
39:33I've never seen you that nervous before you got to see this is what happens
39:40Baby, I'm not mad at you. I'm just saying can you please calm down?
39:44Tintin is trying to teach me how to be like a better mom, but look house me at it
39:50Don't teach me use my way Gina can handle the pressure and she can be win the every competition you want another chance
39:59You advocate for yourself
40:01You earn that second chance
40:04Okay, if a dancer forgets their routine the judges deduct points if they go a second time
40:11You got this. I can do this. That's me. I got this. Okay. Okay. Okay. I can do it.
40:17Did you forget?
40:19It just got in my head

42:54time guess what she didn't probed half of that dance she stayed on yeah she did pretty good
42:59because i don't think anybody noticed except for me and miss glow miss kaylee maybe some of the moms
43:06you know wait that's a lot of people all right well i'm not gonna lie not your best
43:15i'm disappointed for you guys right because you worked so hard you knew these dances and i told
43:21you you can't get in your head all right solos are out of our head anything else has been going
43:29on this morning is out of our head we are moving forward the only thing i am concerned about right
43:35now is this group routine you're a team right we're going to act as a team that's the most important
43:40thing right now this is what matters
43:47it's where i want to be so so far this nationals has kind of been a disaster it's up to layla to
43:52turn this all on it seems like this group dance might be her only chance at a national title
44:00you've got this i love you all we're going to crush this and we're going to celebrate after
44:04oh god let's do this let's go
44:20sometimes the stars just align from moments like this like we were in nashburg minding our business
44:26right i'm really nervous because this is my first lead role by myself and i really don't want to
44:32mess it up and especially because this is nationals if we win this we were undefeated the whole season
44:37and if we don't win it i feel like it's going to be my fault i have to go do you really yeah kind of
44:45do okay but i can hold it i don't know if it's poo or a fart sometimes i fart when i'm nervous and i'm
44:50really nervous probably some nervous farts musical theater small group 11 through 12. it all comes down
44:57to this if ever there was a time to show the world that project x is a force to be reckoned with is right now
45:27there's so much riding on layla's shoulders right now the pressure she must be feeling i can't even imagine
45:34number one three five

49:36i got eighth place and my mom gave me this ultimatum that if i didn't win then i'd have to leave this team i really love the girls i really love miss glow and i don't want to say goodbye cause they're like family i'm just gonna miss all the memories that we played together
49:37memories that we've made together over these years in fourth place number 53
49:52lightning in a bottle we are project x 297.8
49:59i beat jina but fourth is the worst that i've ever gotten in her life
50:07are you all ready for your junior small group
50:12what really matters at nationals is that overall category which means the best out of all the
50:17winners in every age division but in order to qualify for that we first have to win
50:21junior small groups third place
50:26entry 101 empire state of mind try body second place
50:32entry 129 will be fine exquisite house of dance
50:40i'm really nervous that we're not going to win because if we lose and i'm the lead
50:46i'm not going to be miss glow's special project i'm going to be miss glow's special letdown
50:52and in first place
50:53entry 135
51:04everybody 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
51:18and now everybody please give me a drum roll
51:26your first place national champions are entry 135
51:39everybody
51:44this is this company i'm beyond proud this is our first season as project x and we didn't just show
51:52up we dominated
51:55undefeated
52:02i will never forget this moment i will never forget this dance i will never forget this team i will never
52:07forget this season so many people have worked so hard to help get you here but you guys have worked
52:14hardest of all leila i'm so proud of you um i'm really glad that i had this big opportunity and i didn't let anybody down
52:22i think leila 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 gina you and mia both laced in the top 10
52:35with solos that were definitely not your best a lot of it had to do with some events that happened
52:41this morning and i think that there was a lot of tension in the room however we should be celebrating we
52:46won we're undefeated we won our group one let's go from the gang
52:53i love you guys i'm proud of you you guys can go overall it's been a hell of a day we're national
53:03champions but there are still some major unresolved issues with jing and the moms and after last week
53:10with tammy i want to settle this now so it doesn't build into something that is unsolvable this was some
53:17roller coaster like what we just did but how do we fix the situation that's been happening with jing
53:25right now we 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 we don't want
53:36them to leave we really don't if you say something is not true that is a hurt my feeling jing
53:44it's about gina it's not about you every mom here has to take from you quite often but it's not about
53:53them they're here for their kids jing jina went out and got eighth place today after all the work and
53:57time we've put into her because of you all week you telling her i'm gonna quit the team if you don't
54:04win what do you think that's doing to your kid and you put her in that head space can we maybe
54:09just agree that we all need a break we all need time to think let gina go don't speak i'm talking
54:17don't let gina get on that bus thinking you're pulling her out oh you do understand jing are you
54:24gonna quit yes or no because mom you said we need to move forward so let's move forward jing are you
54:28quitting yes or no i quit okay then get out no get out we need to move forward with our team
54:34that we're gonna have in the future so get out jing don't do this no if you're gonna quit get out
54:40no no no no no jing please don't do that i 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 i might sound like i'm being
54:54harsh 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
55:04down this behavior cannot keep happening everybody go everybody go all of you leave jing we'll talk
55:11about this later i know my kid and i know there's something much more going on than this whole thing
55:18with jing there's something bothering her and i need to figure out what it is what is wrong with
55:24you i feel like i'm reliving last week all over again jing can you please come here so we can
55:31say something for our children please can we just talk kaylee when someone has had enough
55:38you back off you let it be all we said is you're too harsh on gina why was that so hard for you
55:46why was that it's 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
56:03it's been a hard season for me i thought my mom brought me here to help her but she's kind of just
56:08dismissed all of my opinions yes she is my mom i want to help her but if she's just going to continue
56:13to shut me down then why am i going to keep putting my own life on pause for that i wish you
56:20would listen to me more i wish you listened to me more all season it was really hard every time i
56:28say something you have told me to just stop talking like what did you bring me here for if not to help
56:34you 10 wins in a row you did not have 10 wins in a row last season i'm not saying it's only me
56:44i came home from my ballet career got it taken away from me and i came straight into this i love doing
56:53this for the kids and i love being here for the kids but i still have not taken time to decide what
57:00i want to do for myself and because i have some things that i feel like i like missed out on or things
57:07that i wish maybe was different like that doesn't take away from everything that you have done for
57:14me like i you know that i get frustrated at times but i don't know what i would do if
57:20you were my mom but 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
57:39you didn't say if you want me here or not
57:41of course i want you back next season and probably drive each other crazy again but i
57:46wouldn't want anybody else other than you to be the one to drive me crazy of course there's a small
57:51part of me that really hoped she would be happy that we would build this family business and carry
57:57on my legacy but now that i see that she's unhappy i see the resentment building in her and i don't want
58:04my daughter to resent me ever as a mother all you want is to see your kid happy kaylee needs to live
58:13her life and whatever that is it's all up to her now and i have to be okay with that
58:19support with whatever you want to do you know that i always have i don't know what the future
58:29holds for project x we lost our star dancer audrey we might be losing gina and now kaylee might not be
58:36coming back to coach i'm terrified of what next season might look like because more than anything
58:44i'm scared to do it alone
58:49i'm scared to do it alone
