00:00It was so escalated that day, I didn't know what to do.
00:03Don't blame your 14-year-old kid.
00:05Be an adult, put your bra on, and take care of your mom's business.
00:09Smiley.
00:10Yes, you did the dance, but you really gave the worst performance on stage.
00:15Bellatrix.
00:16The emotion was less than desirable.
00:21My goal was to repair the damage that's been done to my reputation
00:25and your children because of what happened with Studio Blue.
00:29In first place, Ballet Boys, Project X Dance Company.
00:35We are going to have nationals in New York State.
00:38The good news is we're undefeated, but nationals is a whole different beast.
00:44Next week, we're competing in our hometown, and I've been planning to include the dads.
00:49What if their dad can't come?
00:51I don't think it's something that we need to dwell on.
00:53Being upset here right now isn't going to help.
00:55She'll just kick us off. It's not mine.
00:58I don't think anyone really understands the pressure that I'm under.
01:18I know the team is excited because they've been winning, but I don't know that those were necessarily earned,
01:26and so I feel like that I'm doing something wrong.
01:28We're going to be local for the next two weeks, and then we go to New York for nationals,
01:34and all fair abuse competitions are more important than everything,
01:37and I just don't know that we're there.
01:40Get in my new.
01:41I mean, I want to win.
01:43I want to win for these kids, and I want to win for Project X and prove that 40 years haven't been wasted.
01:55Hey, everyone, let's go.
01:56Good morning.
02:02Good morning.
02:04So, seven wins.
02:07Winning is great, but when you have seven wins, do you want to lose?
02:12No.
02:13You know, we have to finish as strong as we start.
02:15We have to finish stronger than we started.
02:17Studio Blue closing tainted my reputation,
02:22and people just assume that I'm this bad person and that I have done all these things, and...
02:30Well, what's wrong?
02:31I don't know.
02:33The pressure of taking on the team, and then what happened with the old studio,
02:38and then opening this studio and being in charge of everything that goes on here
02:44and the successes and the failures, I think it's just catching up with me.
02:48And our next two competitions are local,
02:53which means we're going to be going up against people who have competed against us in the past
02:58who may or may not like us just based on Studio Blue and its reputation.
03:04And when we walk in, I want them to go,
03:08Wow, what a difference.
03:10If we can continue to win for the next several weeks and win at nationals,
03:14we have back-to-back national titles.
03:17But guess what?
03:17This one is way more important because this is Project X.
03:21You can't take that away from us.
03:22That's huge.
03:23Let's finish strong.
03:24Let's bring home that national title from New York City.
03:28And to help make that happen, we're doing something special this week.
03:31We are skipping pyramid.
03:33I see how much better you perform when you're emotionally connected to the dances.
03:38And that motivation is here today.
03:44Before the season even started, I had planned to bring the dads in to surprise the girls.
03:49I'm very aware of all the sacrifices these families make to be part of this elite team.
03:54We travel every week, so these dads never get to see their baby girls perform.
03:59Morale has been sucking lately, so I'm really hoping that having the dads here
04:04will give the girls the inspiration we've been lacking for the last few weeks.
04:08We're each other's dads today.
04:10I'll be Gina's dad and you be Audrey's dad.
04:12Okay.
04:13I really wish my dad was here because we're really close.
04:16Kind of just like this, like tight, you know?
04:18But yeah, it'd work.
04:20But I'm just really, really happy and excited that he's going to be at the competition this Saturday.
04:25She's my dad now.
04:26Okay.
04:27Yeah.
04:27I want to thank all of the dads for coming.
04:31I know it's not easy on you guys either, so we appreciate you, even though we don't see you like we see your wives.
04:38Maybe sometimes I'd rather see you than your wives.
04:41This is our first local competition, and I really wanted this to be a special weekend for the girls.
04:47To have your support there for them, I know is really special.
04:51It's sad knowing that everyone else's dad got to come.
04:55All dads got to talk to their kids.
04:57Mia knows how much I love her.
04:59I tell her every day, right?
05:00You know that.
05:01Yeah.
05:01But I don't know if I tell you often enough.
05:08Daddy!
05:08This girl makes me so proud.
05:10She's like the sweetest and kindest girl.
05:13Thank you so much for taking on all these girls and bestowing your knowledge upon them.
05:22There are so many times that I wish I could take her place, especially right before she goes off stage.
05:26But I know that it's important for her to get through it and get on there, and she's never failed me in my eyes.
05:38What do you think your dad would have said to you if he was here?
05:42I think he would have said, like, that he's proud of the person I've become.
05:48He makes me feel, like, very, like, protected when I'm dancing.
05:50Like, I'm always going to do good, no matter what.
05:54Like, as long as he's there, like, I'm going to do good.
05:57I know, Audrey and Gina, that your dads are extremely proud of you and all that you do, and they have every reason to be.
06:05Audrey and Gina!
06:10Moving on.
06:11This week, we are staying local, and we are going to Dancing in the Street in Laurel, Maryland.
06:18We are doing a fun, campy murder mystery.
06:22Oh!
06:22So far this season, the best dance we have put on stage is the material girl.
06:29I think Mia sold the heck out of it.
06:32So therefore, this week, Mia, you are going to be the lead of the group dance again.
06:36You'll love this.
06:41Guess what you get to be?
06:42The car!
06:45There's a weird, twisted little dark side inside that little cute face.
06:49It's important for me to give everyone a shot at having a solo for nationals, at being the lead of a team.
06:55So this week's solos are going to Smiley.
06:59And Bellatrix.
07:03Bellatrix is doing lyrical, and Smiley's doing jazz.
07:08Is Smiley doing who Paris Hilton is?
07:09So you know what they said about Paris Hilton?
07:13She's famous for being famous.
07:16She has no other talents.
07:18I didn't mean that.
07:20I just bet you're being her.
07:22I should not have said that.
07:24I realize I was sticking my foot in my mouth, but I really do love Paris Hilton.
07:29I'm actually flattered.
07:30Paris turned famous for being famous into millions and millions of dollars.
07:36She's an icon.
07:37She's a legend.
07:38She is.
07:39Smiley.
07:39The moment.
07:40What?
07:41It's a, like, trending sound.
07:43We're not insulted.
07:44We're inspired.
07:46Thank you, dads.
07:47We love you.
07:48Thank you for coming.
07:48We'll see you on Saturday.
07:50And don't forget, we need your help with all the props.
07:52I'm Paris Hilton.
07:54Bye.
07:57Bye.
07:58Thanks for coming.
08:00I was hoping that the dads would stay and then we could go home.
08:03Oh, yeah, yeah.
08:05That was so much fun.
08:06I felt really bad for Audrey this morning, and she handled it pretty well.
08:11I was a little upset, but I was trying to whisper, say something nice about Audrey and Gina.
08:15Because we all thought there was going to be two kids that didn't get.
08:19We all saw it.
08:19We knew it was coming.
08:20It's sad that Gina's dad is not here because he has to work.
08:25But I know he is going to the competition.
08:29I understand why Tammy is sad.
08:32At the same time, I just feel like Tammy lacks drama.
08:37It is frustrating, you know, how much I tried and, you know, telling him, you know, he only had to just stand there.
08:44I've been dreading this week.
08:46I'm just feeling a little defeated.
08:48Alex said he's coming on Saturday, but I don't know what he'll do, actually.
08:52You never know what's going to happen last minute.
08:55I had this, like, hope in me that he actually was coming and I was going to see him walk through the door.
09:00I know how hard this has been on you, but don't forget that you're strong and you're getting through it, right?
09:11And you're doing the best job you can, and we're all here.
09:14It's okay to be upset.
09:16Tammy, at the end of the day, you need to understand that we really do love you because we want the best for you and we're here for you.
09:22That's all this really is all about.
09:25I'm not a monster.
09:26I've known Tammy for years, and I see how hard this is for her.
09:30But for the team and for Audrey, I'm going to put our differences aside and be there for her.
09:35We're here for you always.
09:38So the group dance is called the resort.
09:42This is important for me because I really want to solo at Nationals.
09:46I really think that this week can be the breakout week.
09:48If I don't pull it off, that's going to be devastating.
09:51So Mia is the murderer.
09:53So you've been poisoning all your friends one by one, and you're going to hold your little bottle up,
09:58and you're going to look dead into the camera, and it's like, ha-ha-ha.
10:03Every time someone dies, you're going to be devastated.
10:07You go into hysterics.
10:10People wouldn't think it's you if you're having this breakdown about it.
10:14Layla just is dead on the floor.
10:17What are you going to do?
10:17You're over the top.
10:20Oh, no, keep going.
10:22Like, oh, my God.
10:23Oh, ah!
10:23I don't have to say the words, Layla's dead.
10:29You just found Layla dead.
10:30Now what?
10:31Oh!
10:32Oh!
10:33And you're over it now?
10:35Fine.
10:35Get it together so we can keep going.
10:37Oh!
10:38Oh!
10:39Oh!
10:39Oh!
10:40Oh!
10:41Yeah.
10:42You're stressing me out because you're going to start making me question you,
10:45and I don't want to question you.
10:46This is taking far too long.
10:49There are seven other girls in this room who would love a chance to do this, I bet.
10:54We're two weeks away from Nationals.
10:56I could easily pull somebody else who hasn't had the opportunity.
11:00This is a waste of time.
11:01She's not going to get it.
11:02Like, she doesn't get it.
11:03Glow has taken away a lead times.
11:05Yeah, she has.
11:07You know, I would love for this to be a great role for Audrey,
11:10but who I can actually see this being a great role for is Ashlyn.
11:16Every single time, Mia's been giving a test, and she delivered.
11:23That's why Glow's giving her another opportunity.
11:26These moms are like hyenas circulating and waiting for Mia to make a mistake,
11:31so then she loses her spot, so their kid can reach and grab it.
11:35But I'm not going to let that happen.
11:37Oh, she's crying.
11:38Okay, don't get down on yourself.
11:41I really think that you can lead this team,
11:44and I also think that you can be a lead at Nationals,
11:46and I also think that you're a star.
11:49You could be the future of this whole studio.
11:52Damn!
11:54The whole studio!
11:56That's a little dramatic.
11:58This is a joke.
12:01She is 10 years old, and she's breaking down at every second
12:05and needs to be coddled with kid gloves.
12:08That is not somebody other kids should be looking up to.
12:12Ms. Bill, can I talk to her?
12:17Mia, I don't know what to do.
12:19What do you mean?
12:20Yeah, this is not hard.
12:21Who thinks they can do this?
12:24You're about to give up your spot.
12:26That's what I'm scared of.
12:27I don't want to give up my spot every second.
12:29So stop.
12:30Stop.
12:31Oh.
12:34Ashley.
12:35Ashley.
12:37Can you breathe?
12:38Can you breathe?
12:40She's got in all these first places dancing.
12:42This is something completely different.
12:44It's not working out for her.
12:45The team thing says she's an actress.
12:46You have to book jobs to be an actress.
12:56Hear that?
12:56You're going to blow this chance.
13:01We are heading into nationals.
13:03You need to go out there and dance like your life depended on it.
13:06No.
13:07You should go home and buy her a spinning disc.
13:09She has one.
13:10And use it.
13:11If you walk off the stage and nobody felt anything, you're not doing your job.
13:16Oh, no, God.
13:16Why are you going to cry?
13:17I don't believe you.
13:21Ashlyn, you can do bigger face.
13:23Mia's been making a lot of mistakes, and you don't get upset at all.
13:26But when it's our kids, you scream.
13:27Mia has been killing it on stage as far as I'm concerned.
13:30I don't know what y'all are seeing.
13:32Maybe you're just jealous.
13:33In first place.
13:40Who thinks they can do this?
13:43You're about to give up your spot.
13:45That's what I'm scared of.
13:46Okay, so...
13:47Shh!
13:47You killed this person.
13:53That's right.
13:54Yeah, fake tears, crocodile tears.
13:57That doesn't sound right.
13:58I mean, I don't know that Mia can get it that quickly.
14:01You feel better now?
14:02Okay, I know you can't do it.
14:04Okay, bye.
14:05Okay, go.
14:07Welcome back, Mia.
14:09Ready to give it another try?
14:11Yeah.
14:11Okay, then I want you to try harder, okay?
14:13Let's go, Mia.
14:14The face of Project X.
14:17There you go.
14:25You're getting it.
14:25Keep going.
14:26Keep going.
14:28All right, we're way closer.
14:32Yay!
14:35Okay, moving on.
14:37At the beginning of the dance,
14:38there's going to be a dead body
14:40dragged to the center of the stage,
14:43and that person is the first person
14:46you find dead,
14:47and you are going to be hysterical.
14:50What?
14:50So someone starts off dead?
14:52Yes.
14:54Wait, that person doesn't dance, then.
14:56We have to figure out today
14:57who is going to be dancing
14:58and who is not,
14:59because we have to move forward
15:00with the choreography.
15:01Everyone is at risk at this point.
15:03All right, let's roll.
15:05But it's not even, like, body bags,
15:06where, like, Bellatrix went in first,
15:08but she got to dance at least a little.
15:10Right.
15:11This is someone straight up not dancing.
15:14Bachelin, you have to widen your legs.
15:16Your stance is not that close together.
15:18We're at home,
15:19and I'm sure everyone's families are coming,
15:21the dads are coming.
15:22Like, who doesn't want to not dance
15:23in front of their dad?
15:24Oh, my God.
15:25Oh, my God.
15:25Oh, my God.
15:26Oh, my God.
15:26Do you guys even take Bellatrix?
15:30Who's that?
15:31Always got to show your best, Smiley.
15:33Let me break.
15:36I think, Smiley,
15:37I'm going to make this
15:37really easy for you this week.
15:39I'm going to give you the gift of time
15:40so that you can work on your solo.
15:42You will get the part of the dead body
15:44at the beginning of the dance.
15:46And trust me when I tell you,
15:49you're all going to be dying off
15:50way faster than the body bags
15:51if you don't get it together.
15:53In my opinion,
15:54my mom is unfairly hard on Smiley.
15:57I don't think she should be
15:58the dead body right now
15:59because she has improved.
16:00She's been a great team player.
16:02She's been a great group member,
16:04and she's not been
16:05what's bringing this team down.
16:08But in her mind,
16:09it's just her way or no way.
16:14Come on.
16:15She can handle both dances.
16:17It's not necessary.
16:18All right.
16:18Well, here's what it is, Dominica.
16:20So what happens
16:20when she focuses on her solo
16:22and then she still
16:22is not good enough for you?
16:23At what point do you start
16:25to build her up
16:26instead of tearing her down?
16:27Because I'm sick of it,
16:28but she's not.
16:29I'm sick of it.
16:30Okay, well, I'm sorry.
16:32Smiley, I want you
16:33to work on your solo.
16:37I'm making a decision
16:38that should be beneficial to you.
16:40Got it?
16:42Okay.
16:42Okay.
16:42So I've been wanting all season
16:57to do what I do best,
16:59which is pretty lyrical.
17:00And you get to do that.
17:03Ever since I was little,
17:04I've always wanted
17:05to be on Broadway.
17:06I'm so happy
17:07Ms. Glow gave me a solo
17:08because I want to prove
17:09to her that I can have
17:10a starring role
17:11at Nationals
17:12in New York City.
17:13You've got to bring
17:14out that personality.
17:15I can't depend on you
17:17to give you lead parts
17:19or to give you more solos
17:20or to dance at Nationals.
17:21If you can't be more vulnerable,
17:24just don't hide in the shadows.
17:27That's what I mean
17:27by disappearing.
17:28If you walk off the stage
17:29and nobody felt anything,
17:31you're not doing your job.
17:33Oh, no, God.
17:34Why are you going to cry?
17:35I guess, like,
17:36I've tried my best
17:38to show much emotion,
17:40but, like, I guess, like,
17:41I get worried
17:42people are going to judge me.
17:44I'm afraid that
17:45if Bellatrix doesn't place
17:47high, that, you know,
17:48Glow's going to feel disappointed.
17:50Bellatrix is going to see
17:51Ms. Glow being disappointed in her.
17:53And my biggest concern
17:54with that is that
17:55Bellatrix will, you know,
17:56lose her love for dance.
17:57Hi.
17:58Sorry, I'm not
17:59trying to cause trouble.
18:01Okay.
18:02I just want her to
18:03defend herself.
18:04You defend her enough
18:05for everybody.
18:06I know, but I don't
18:06want to speak for her.
18:08Yes, you do.
18:09You always speak for her.
18:09I don't want to.
18:10Maybe that's why
18:11she doesn't speak for herself.
18:12Maybe.
18:14Bellatrix,
18:14this is what I want you to do.
18:15I mean, you look at me right now
18:16and I want you to tell me
18:17how you feel.
18:18Like how I feel about...
18:19About anything.
18:20When she's telling
18:20that you're disappearing,
18:22that she's...
18:22Now you don't feel very...
18:23You're speaking for her again.
18:24Stop talking.
18:25Did you probably just
18:26be there?
18:27She could.
18:28Do you want her to?
18:29Tell her.
18:29You tell her.
18:30Get out.
18:30I feel that Bellatrix
18:40has spent so many years
18:41seeing her mother
18:43have this very outgoing
18:45personality speaking her mind.
18:47And I fully believe
18:48that if Bellatrix
18:49can get out of Roxy's shadow
18:50and step into her own light
18:52with this dance,
18:53Bellatrix can be a superstar.
18:54I want you to go out
18:55on that stage
18:56and blow everyone's minds.
18:58Wouldn't it be amazing
18:59for this to be your first win
19:01in our hometown locally
19:04with your father there?
19:06What a moment that could be.
19:08Let's go.
19:11She hasn't placed in a long time.
19:14She's not emoting.
19:15She's not showing
19:16that she wants it.
19:18You show that you want her
19:19to be a star,
19:20but she's not showing that.
19:21What a moment that could be.
19:22Nice.
19:24That was pretty churned.
19:26We don't have anything special,
19:28but her hard work
19:29is what makes her
19:31look like she's,
19:33like, has this glorious house
19:35with these big mirrors
19:36and this big fancy studio.
19:38We don't have that.
19:39You know, it's been hard.
19:40It's always someone
19:40who just has that extra money
19:42to pay for more private classes.
19:43Like, I don't have the luxury
19:45of having that extra money,
19:47but Bellatrix is proof
19:48that you don't need
19:50this fancy stuff
19:51for your kid
19:52to be a good dancer.
19:53With a good teacher
19:55who believes in you
19:56and pushes you,
19:57that's all you need.
19:58She's got the technique.
20:00What's the emotion?
20:01I think she needs
20:01to talk about something
20:02that is really deep
20:04and meaningful to her,
20:05like her dad.
20:08You know, Bellatrix,
20:09the steps are gorgeous.
20:10You couldn't probably
20:11dance it any better,
20:12but I need you to perform.
20:15I really am nervous.
20:17Just because your daughter
20:18has the most beautiful,
20:19perfect technique,
20:20we don't know
20:21what the judges want.
20:22Well, lyrical usually wins, though.
20:24Not if you don't perform it right.
20:26What does it feel like
20:27to have strong faith,
20:29bigger, everything?
20:31Can Bellatrix just let go?
20:34I don't know, dude.
20:35More, more Bellatrix
20:36in your body, body, reach.
20:38She better let go.
20:45G-L-A-M.
20:47G-L-A-M.
20:49G-L-A-M.
20:51Hi, Paris.
20:52I used to wear
20:53little skirts like that.
20:55I mean, I was doing that
20:56until not so long ago.
21:00Dead.
21:01But look, you're all
21:02pinked out today.
21:03There you go.
21:04So you can channel
21:06your inner Paris.
21:07Do you even know
21:08what that is?
21:09Have you ever seen
21:10a phone like that?
21:10Is this a flip phone?
21:11Yeah.
21:12Just flips?
21:13Yeah.
21:13I don't think I've ever
21:14held a flip phone
21:15in my hand before.
21:15This is very cool.
21:18Are you kidding me?
21:19It takes a lot
21:20for me to feel old.
21:21And this did it.
21:23Yeah.
21:24All right, pose.
21:24Dripping the fitness.
21:25Oh, my God.
21:27You just totally transformed
21:29in front of our eyes.
21:30That's so hot.
21:31Yeah.
21:31Smiley's solo this week
21:41is a jazz routine.
21:42And it's make or break
21:44for Smiley.
21:44I worry that it's not
21:46in Smiley's best interest
21:47to continue on a team
21:48that she can't keep up with.
21:50Yeah, but I'd much rather
21:51work with a kid like Smiley
21:52who wants to be there
21:53and wants to work hard
21:54over a kid who doesn't care
21:55and wants to quit
21:56every single week.
21:57Not mentioning any names,
21:58but you know
21:58who I'm talking about.
21:59I get it,
22:00but unfortunately for Smiley
22:02at this level,
22:03it doesn't matter
22:04how hard you work
22:05if I don't see results.
22:06And I need to see results
22:08from Smiley.
22:09Up, spot.
22:10Don't fight your arms.
22:12Pull up.
22:13You gotta pull your arms.
22:15Don't push forward.
22:16Push right up
22:17onto that leg.
22:19Nope.
22:20I think Smiley's turned.
22:22You should go home
22:23and buy her a spinning jit.
22:24She has one.
22:25She has all the turning
22:26and practice.
22:28And use it.
22:28Every single week,
22:30the joke for us,
22:32if the mannequin said,
22:33Smiley can turn,
22:33Smiley can turn.
22:35Smiley is done like one turn.
22:36She said,
22:37oh my God, she did it.
22:38She didn't make a mistake
22:39last week while so many
22:40of the other kids
22:40made a mistake last week.
22:42You know, like Ashlyn
22:43tends to put her heel down a lot.
22:46Me, I couldn't do
22:47a double pirouette.
22:49Like, don't come at me.
22:51The bus Dominica's driving
22:52today is so big,
22:54she just keeps throwing
22:55every kid under the bus,
22:56under the bus.
22:57Literally, it's not
22:58throwing them under the bus.
22:59I'm legitimately putting
23:00a point out
23:01that it's not just my kid.
23:03I'm tired of my child
23:04hearing that she's
23:05not good enough
23:06and that she may not
23:07be good enough
23:07when it matters most,
23:09which is in nationals.
23:10The reason that I defend Smiley
23:13is because I didn't have
23:14that person in my corner
23:15who said to me,
23:16good job every day.
23:17We lived in a third world country.
23:19My dad was never home
23:21and my mom was unable
23:23to be there for me
23:23all the time.
23:24So when I became a mom,
23:26my first priority was
23:28to be better than that
23:29and to show up for my kid
23:31and to be her biggest fan
23:33and her biggest cheerleader.
23:34I want you to get better
23:36not only for yourself
23:37but for the reputation
23:39of our studio
23:40and what we do here.
23:42Like, do you want
23:43to be a dancer?
23:44I want to dance
23:45with Marlon on the side.
23:46Then you need to
23:49make yourself get better.
23:51I want you to remind me
23:52why I chose you
23:53for this team.
23:54If I don't see you
23:56getting there faster,
23:57then I have to figure out
23:59if you're going to even
24:01dance at nationals
24:02or if you belong
24:03on this team.
24:04Oh, damn.
24:05Smiley should show her
24:06I'm not just a pretty face.
24:08She needs to bring it.
24:21Oh, we're not back in love.
24:23Oh, I'm stretching it.
24:25Like I'm walking
24:26into a resort.
24:27I'm stuck on a palm tree.
24:29I love the wig.
24:30I need a solo
24:32so you get ready.
24:33This is a really important week
24:35for me and this team
24:37and our studio.
24:38It's our first local competition
24:39is Project X
24:40and people associate me
24:42with Studio Blue
24:43and I am not Studio Blue.
24:45There is no better way
24:47for me to repair
24:48my reputation
24:49and the studio's reputation
24:50but by winning.
24:52Can you please start stretching?
24:54Yeah, I'm fine.
24:55Okay.
24:56Well, just pay attention to me.
24:58Are you listening?
24:59Mm-hmm.
25:00Because I feel like
25:00this is like your only shot,
25:02literally the only shot
25:03that you have.
25:04You promised me
25:04you're going to do it.
25:05You're going to work
25:06your ass off
25:06and dance so hard.
25:07I know I'm usually
25:08not that mom that fishes you
25:09but I feel like I have to
25:10because you're not doing
25:11anything I want
25:11and I'm sick and tired
25:13of Ms. Glo saying that.
25:14Are you tired of it too?
25:15Yeah.
25:15So what are you going
25:16to do?
25:18I can't hear you.
25:20Put the mascara,
25:21the lipstick away.
25:23Okay.
25:23Okay.
25:24The biggest fear right now
25:25is to play it safe.
25:27I don't want her to play it safe
25:28because it's literally
25:29her only shot
25:30that Glo is giving her.
25:31This is it.
25:31Like, there's no chances
25:32right now.
25:33All right, guys,
25:34come over here for a second.
25:35You are given probably
25:37the best opportunity yet
25:39on this team
25:39to have a solo
25:40in your hometown.
25:42You're dancing
25:43for the first time
25:44in front of your fathers
25:45this season.
25:47I'm really, like,
25:47happy this year
25:48because I don't get
25:49to see him anymore.
25:52He works from, like,
25:537 a.m. to, like,
25:54sometimes he won't even
25:55get home until, like,
25:5611.30.
25:57When I do get to hang out
25:58with him, like,
25:59we have a lot of fun together.
26:00So I'm just very happy
26:01that he gets to see me dance,
26:02especially this week
26:03since I have a solo.
26:05My dad is also, like,
26:06my best friend.
26:07He's actually, like,
26:08my number one fan.
26:09And, like, he always
26:09supports me.
26:10And, like, he, like,
26:11gives me the best
26:12pep talks ever.
26:14I love hearing about them
26:16and I love how special
26:17they are to you.
26:19And you know that
26:20you're special to them.
26:21So I have a surprise
26:22for you.
26:23Dad!
26:24Lori.
26:32She looks adorable.
26:34She looks like a Barbie.
26:35Smiley, I want you
26:36to go out there
26:38and believe in yourself.
26:39I want you to have
26:40the time of your life.
26:41I want you to embrace
26:42Paris Hilton.
26:44Just have fun.
26:46And Bellatrix, my dear,
26:48the emotion that I see
26:49when you talk about
26:50your father
26:50is so real and genuine.
26:52Try to take that
26:53and take it onto the stage.
26:55Don't be guarded.
26:55We are heading into nationals.
26:58We have one more
26:59competition, our regionals.
27:01You need to go out there
27:02and dance like your life
27:03depended on it.
27:04Your life might depend on it.
27:06Life on the team.
27:07Show me why you're here.
27:08Prove to me you belong here.
27:10I think they both need to
27:11sink or swim today.
27:12So I'm hoping they do not sink.
27:14You're awesome.
27:15Just relax.
27:16Go out there and do what you do.
27:17Pretend like you're
27:18Freddie Mercury on stage.
27:20I'm not scared of nothing.
27:21You're out there to kill it.
27:22Yeah.
27:40I'm really, really happy
27:41that my dad's going to be
27:42here watching me.
27:43And I'm just like
27:44really excited to perform.
27:46I think knowing that
27:47he's here with me
27:48is going to help me
27:49have a lot more emotion
27:50on stage.
27:50This is my dance.
27:52I'm going to go out there
27:53and kill it.
27:55Bellatrix is one of
27:56the best technicians
27:58on this team.
27:59But as soon as the spotlight
28:01is on Bellatrix,
28:02she crumbles.
28:04I know Bellatrix has
28:06more in her than that.
28:07If Bellatrix can just
28:09believe in herself
28:10a little bit,
28:11this kid is going to be
28:13the star of this team
28:14very soon.
28:15Next up,
28:16Advanced Solo
28:17Junior Lyrical.
28:19Please welcome
28:20entry number 185
28:22with
28:22Someplace Else.
28:29Let's go guys!
28:30Come on baby,
28:30let's go!
28:31I got carried out to sea
28:46on a wave of hope
28:49My faith was strong
28:53My heart was filled with
28:57innocence and dreams
29:00Of what could be
29:03But sometimes dreams get
29:08shouted by
29:09The daylight's
29:10Dreaming in
29:12And somewhere down the road
29:17We lost each other
29:20Somewhere down the line
29:24We lost ourselves
29:27Too much for us
29:30To face the storm together
29:33Let's go!
29:42Let's go!
29:43Somewhere down the road
29:45We lost each other
29:48And somewhere down the line
29:52We lost ourselves
29:54We lost each other
29:56We lost each other
29:57We lost each other
29:58We lost each other
29:59We lost each other
30:00We lost each other
30:01We lost each other
30:02We lost each other
30:03We lost each other
30:04We lost each other
30:05We lost each other
30:06We lost each other
30:07We lost each other
30:08We lost each other
30:09We lost each other
30:10We lost each other
30:11We lost each other
30:12We lost each other
30:13We lost each other
30:14We lost each other
30:15We lost each other
30:16We lost each other
30:17We lost each other
30:18We lost each other
30:19That was beautiful.
30:35You want me to turn with this?
30:37I can look at my halogen.
30:40It was gorgeous.
30:44She did such a good job.
30:45I have never seen Bellatrix dance like that.
30:47She was emoting, and I believed her.
30:51Yeah, it was really good.
30:58Okay, you got it.
31:01I can't wait to see you.
31:03If I do this all the best I can,
31:05I think that'll prove to Ms. Cole
31:06that I deserve to be on this team, because I do.
31:08I mean, she put me on this team for a reason,
31:10and I'm going to show her that reason.
31:13She's competing against, like, how many souls did they say?
31:1534.
31:1634, 37.
31:17Great.
31:18I'm not delusional.
31:19I don't think Smiley is going to win today,
31:22especially with a lot of competition.
31:25But what she can do is impress me enough
31:28to show me why I should keep her on the team next season.
31:32Next up, entry number 184.
31:35That's so hot.
31:37Next up, entry number 184.
31:50That's so hot.
31:52Every girl above us.
31:58Yeah!
31:58Come on!
31:59Every girl on top.
32:01I know you're here for this.
32:04If you're feeling wild,
32:07and you're looking for it,
32:09you better be here for this.
32:10Come on!
32:12Come on, come on, come on, my girls.
32:18We can't rule around.
32:19Yeah!
32:21I'm not the kind you can have and hold.
32:26Boy, I don't need no permission.
32:28Girls, we want to be scripted.
32:32We want to write the rules.
32:34If I'm too much, I'm not the girl for you.
32:38We don't need you to fix it.
32:40Ain't nothing to discuss.
32:42Stand aside, come on.
32:43There's no stopping us.
32:46Come on, come on, my girls.
32:50If I'm too much, I'm not the girl for you.
32:53We don't need you to fix it.
32:56We can rule the world.
32:58We can rule the world.
33:02Every girl wants to come on.
33:16Oh, what's wrong with me?
33:19She did great.
33:20I'm so proud of her.
33:21That was the best I've ever seen in Smiley Dance.
33:23I feel really good.
33:25I nailed my triple.
33:26I had energy.
33:28And I did my aerial.
33:30I think I did everything I needed to prove this to them wrong.
33:32I think I made Paris Hilton very proud.
33:36That was so good.
33:37Amazing.
33:38So proud of them.
33:39Like, Smiley got her triple turn.
33:41What'd you think about that triple?
33:43Oh, my God.
33:44Please.
33:45You are such a hater.
33:47I just tell you the shoes.
33:50Jing, I saw your husband's here.
33:51Tammy, did Alex show up?
33:55I haven't seen him yet, but he texted me and asked for the address this morning.
33:59Do you think he'll help with the props?
34:00No.
34:01I think he'll just stay in a seat.
34:02I see you bending over backwards.
34:04Like, obviously, divorce is hard.
34:05You are so kind.
34:08All you have to do is get a palm tree and put it on stage, you know?
34:10Right.
34:10I mean, if this is how he shows up for his daughter, I can only imagine how he showed up for you in your marriage, you know?
34:15Like, I get why you're leaving him.
34:18I'm proud of you.
34:20Oh, my God.
34:22Yay!
34:22My little mommy!
34:24My top!
34:27Full, like, your triple.
34:29Adele!
34:31I am so proud of you guys.
34:34How did that feel?
34:35So good.
34:36Both of you definitely had the breakthrough that I've been waiting for with you.
34:42Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but none of this means anything if the group is a hot mess.
34:47We have a lot of work to do.
34:49The dads are all here to watch.
34:51Take advantage of it and use that like these girls did.
34:56I will do anything for Audrey.
34:59And I've tried really hard getting Alex to come to the competition.
35:03If Alex doesn't show up, I'm going to have a really heartbroken kid.
35:07Let's, like, kind of, though, get a move on.
35:09Can I help you now?
35:11Oh, my God.
35:12Way tighter.
35:13I know.
35:13I haven't even tied it yet.
35:15Tighter.
35:15What am I doing with the bow?
35:16Is it a...
35:17I don't know, but why do you take so long to get her ready, Dominica?
35:19So she can look good.
35:20So she'll look good lying on the ground?
35:22A roll is a roll.
35:24Dolce, come in.
35:25Wait.
35:26Oh, my God.
35:27Please, a little bit of hairspray.
35:29Let's go, guys.
35:30Come on.
35:30We have to run this dance.
35:32Help!
35:33Help!
35:33I can't hear you.
35:34I'm in a shower!
35:36Bigger.
35:38Bigger hips!
35:39I don't believe you!
35:42Bigger for this part, you guys.
35:43On your feet, Gina.
35:45Ashlyn, you can do bigger face than that.
35:47Watching this rehearsal is like watching Slop.
35:50It's giving school lunch and not stage performance.
35:54I don't want to lose because a weak performance in our hometown...
35:58Open your arms!
36:00Out!
36:00Out!
36:01Out!
36:01...is only going to give this area something to talk about, and it will be good.
36:07Too many mistakes.
36:09Too many sloppy arms.
36:10Too little face.
36:12Mia, I'm putting a lot of trust in a 10-year-old.
36:16All eyes are going to be on you.
36:17You have to sell this, and you have to perform it.
36:20You can make or break this.
36:22I didn't do this thing.
36:24It's okay.
36:24I'm still looking at what's going to be happening in internationals, and I really, really assume
36:30you will be a shoo-in.
36:30Why you don't put a call on someone and forgot her routine?
36:34Why you always call on our kids?
36:36That's true.
36:39You're talking to me.
36:40Yeah, she's talking to you.
36:41Even when you say Mia's name, you go, Mia.
36:45Mia!
36:46Bella drinks!
36:47I mean, she is right.
36:48Mia's been making a lot of mistakes, and you don't get upset at all, but when it's our
36:52kids, you scream.
36:52Mia has been killing it on stage as far as I'm concerned.
36:55I don't know what y'all are seeing.
36:57Maybe you're just jealous.
36:58I can't have Mia fall apart before she walks on stage.
37:04If these parents are a little butthurt because I'm speaking to her in a different tone, they
37:09need to get over it, because guess what?
37:11Mia is pulling out the wind for these girls week after week.
37:14So suck it up, moms.
37:15Mia, just focus on yourself.
37:17Exactly.
37:18Ignore the people who are jealous.
37:19All right, kill it, ladies.
37:20Yeah!
37:23Get ready for the best new thing.
37:25Get ready for the best new thing.
37:31What you want, I got it.
37:33What you want, I got it.
37:34What you want, I got it.
37:36I got it.
37:38How are you feeling?
37:39Very nervous.
37:40Like, very, very, very nervous.
37:42Like, very, very nervous.
37:44I'm the lead of the group, and I can't mess up because we're really close to nationals,
37:47and this is Ms. Glow's decision if I get a solo on nationals or if I can beat the lead.
37:52So what are you going to do?
37:54Kill it.
37:54I have to kill it, like, dance, kill it, and then I have to kill all the people.
38:09I don't see it.
38:12I just want to go out there, and I just want to dance.
38:14I want to dance for my dad.
38:16I just want to make him proud.
38:18I don't care about anything else.
38:19I just...
38:19I'm just kidding.
38:21I don't see it.
38:30I just want to dance for my dad.
38:35Daddy, sorry.
38:35Sorry, sorry.
38:36It means a lot to me that he's here, and that he tried to come because I know that he was,
38:53like, most of the time he's not able to, and that's why he couldn't come earlier, and I'm
38:57just so happy.
38:59Next up, advanced small group, junior open.

40:54I think the turns are really good.
41:05I didn't mess them up.
41:06I didn't mess anything up.
41:07You did great.
41:07I think she sold it really well.
41:09I think she was funny.
41:10But the second part of the turn combination, Mia got behind.
41:14I don't want to ruin our winning streak.
41:16We've done so well.
41:17I don't want this to be the one that takes us out.
41:27We're going to announce our top advanced junior solo.
41:3132 entries competed this afternoon.
41:35In 10th place.
41:37Entry number eight, Swan of Lady.
41:40I felt like Ms. Go could just really see the improvement on stage.
41:43But I'm really worried about not placing good because I danced against so many other people.
41:487th place.
41:49This is the happiest I have ever been about a 7th place win.
42:02Was she the strongest dancer?
42:03No.
42:03But she hit everything that was given to her and she did it with confidence.
42:07But is this enough to guarantee her a spot on this team next season?
42:12I still don't know.
42:14In 3rd place.
42:16Entry number 72, I Love Paris.
42:20I'm just feeling all the emotions because they haven't said my name yet and they just called 3rd place.
42:26So I'm just really scared I'm not going to place at all.
42:29In 2nd place.
42:31Entry number 37, I Didn't Know My Own Strength.
42:35Yes, she got first place.
42:36Yes, she did.
42:37And in 1st place.
42:41Entry number 185, Someplace Else.
42:50Oh my gosh, I'm so happy.
42:53I feel like having my dad here made such a big difference.
42:56I haven't won 1st place since I was like 7 or 8.
42:59I think Ms. Go is going to see a different me going into nationals.
43:02Next up, top advanced junior small group in 7th place.
43:09Entry number 34, I Feel like all the pressure is on me now.
43:17Being in our hometown this week, trying to hold on to this undefeated season, this is our chance to show everybody what we're made of and prove all of the haters wrong.
43:27Second place, enter number 31, Infinity.
43:31And in 1st place, enter number 186, The Resort.
43:45Winning this eighth win in a row in our hometown means more to me than any win I had last season.
43:57All of the local studios wanted to come and compete against us, but Project X came out on top.
44:03It shows people that I'm still the best dance teacher in this state.
44:08Nice job, dancers. Tell us where you danced.
44:11I'm at that dance company!
44:22Did he leave?
44:24Did he leave?
44:26He left already?
44:27He left already?
44:27Got the right kid, do the right kid.
44:37Yeah, I find the right kid.
44:38I find the right kid.
44:41I'm so proud of him.
44:45It was really good, like, seeing my dad outside.
44:48I love him a lot, and it feels good, like, knowing that he came.
44:53That means more than, like, more than anything.
44:56Oh, my God!
45:06Go, go, go, go, go, go!
45:08I'm not going to lie.
45:09I've never been so nervous.
45:11You were amazing.
45:13It was so good.
45:14It was so good.
45:15Now the pressure's really on.
45:17One more competition before nationals, regionals.
