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.
28:28Let'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
29:04But sometimes dreams get
29:08shouted by
29:09The daylights streaming in
29:12And somewhere down the road
29:17We lost each other
29:20And somewhere down the line
29:24We lost ourselves
29:27And somewhere down the line
29:40We lost ourselves
29:41And somewhere down the road we lost each other
29:48And somewhere down the line we lost ourselves
30:11That was beautiful
30:35You want me to turn my dick?
30:36I can't remember a holiday
30:37Can I help it?
30:40You did so.
30:42It was gorgeous.
30:43She did such a good job.
30:44I have never seen Bellatrix dance like that.
30:46She was emoting, and I believed her.
30:50Yeah, it was really good.
31:03If I do this all the best I can,
31:04I think that'll prove to Ms. Cole that I deserve to be on this team,
31:06because I do.
31:07I mean, she put me on this team for a reason,
31:09and I'm going to show her that reason.
31:12She's competing against, like, how many souls did they say?
31:1434.
31:1534, 36.
31:16Right.
31:17Really?
31:18I'm not delusional.
31:19I don't think Smiley is going to win today,
31:21especially with a lot of competition.
31:24But what she can do is impress me enough
31:27to show me why I should keep her on the team next season.
31:32Next up, entry number 184.
31:34That's so hot.
31:46Next up, entry number 184.
31:49That's so hot.
31:51Every girl on top.
31:52I know you're here for this.
31:56If you're feeling wild, and we're looking fly,
31:57we'd better be here for this.
31:58Come on!
31:59I know you're here for this.
32:01Yeah!
32:02Yeah!
32:04Yeah!
32:05That's so hot!
32:14I'm not the kind you can have and hold
32:25Boy, I don't need no permission
32:28Girls, we wanna be scripted
32:31We wanna write the rules
32:33If I'm too much, I'm not the girl for you
32:37We don't need you to fix it
32:40Ain't nothing to discuss
32:41Stand aside for more
32:43There's no stopping us
32:46Come on, come on, come on, come on
32:49If 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
33:03Come on
33:13What is wrong with me?
33:19She did great
33:19I'm so proud of her
33:21That was the best I've ever seen Smiley dance
33:23I feel really good
33:24I nailed my triple
33:25I had energy
33:27And I did my aerial
33:29I think I did everything I needed to prove this to them wrong
33:32I think I made Paris Hilton very proud
33:34That 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, please
33:45You are such a hater
33:47I just tell you the shoes
33:48Jing, 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, I think he'll just stand a seat
34:02I see you bending over backwards
34:04Like obviously divorce is hard
34:05She's doing everything, dude
34:06You are so kind
34:07All 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
34:12I can only imagine how he showed up for you in your marriage, you know
34:15Like, I get why you're leaving him
34:17I'm proud of you
34:18Thank you
34:19Oh my god, yes!
34:22My little mommy!
34:24My daddy!
34:27Full, like, your triple
34:29I'm 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
34:40Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but none of this means anything if the group is a hot mess
34:46We 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
34:53I 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
35:06Let's, like, kind of, though, get a move on
35:09Can I help you now?
35:11Oh my gosh
35:12Way tighter
35:13I know, I haven't even tied it yet
35:14Tighter
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
35:23Valchus, come in
35:25Run, run, run, run
35:25Wait, oh my god
35:27Please, a little bit of hairspray
35:28Let's go, guys
35:29Come on
35:30We have to run this dance
35:31Help, help
35:33I can't hear you
35:34I'm going to show up
35:36Bigger
35:37Bigger hips
35:39I don't believe you
35:42Bigger for this part, you guys
35:43On your feet, Gina
35:44Ashlyn, you can do bigger face than that
35:47Watching this rehearsal is like watching slop
35:50It's giving school lunch
35:52And not stage performance
35:54I don't want to lose
35:55Because a weak performance in our hometown
35:58Open your arms
35:59Out, out, out
36:01Is only going to give this area something to talk about
36:05And it will be good
36:07Too many mistakes
36:08Too many sloppy arms
36:10Too little face
36:11Mia, 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
36:19And you have to perform it
36:20You can make or break this
36:22I didn't do this thing
36:23It's okay
36:24I'm still looking at what's going to be happening in Nationals
36:27And I really, really assume you will be a shoo-in
36:30Why you don't put a call on someone
36:32And forgot her routine
36:34Why you always call on our kids
36:36That's true
36:38You're talking to me
36:40Yeah, she's talking to you
36:42Even when you say Mia's name
36:43You go, Mia
36:44Mia
36:45Bellatrix
36:46I mean, she is right
36:48Mia's been making a lot of mistakes
36:50And you don't get upset at all
36:51But when it's our kids
36:52Mia has been killing it on stage
36:54As far as I'm concerned
36:55I don't know what y'all are seeing
36:56Maybe you're just jealous
36:58I can't have Mia
37:01Fall apart
37:02Before she walks on stage
37:04If these parents are a little butthurt
37:07Because I'm speaking to her in a different tone
37:09They need to get over it
37:10Because guess what?
37:11Mia is pulling out the wind
37:12For these girls week after week
37:14So suck it up, moms
37:15Mia, just focus on yourself
37:17Exactly
37:17Ignore the people who are jealous
37:19All right, kill it, ladies
37:20Get ready for the best new thing
37:25Get ready for the best new thing
37:29What you want, I got it

37:34What you want, I got it
37:36I got it
37:37How are you feeling?
37:39Very nervous
37:39Like very, very, very nervous
37:41I'm the lead of the group
37:44And I can't mess up
37:46Because we're really close to nationals
37:47And this is Ms. Glow's decision
37:49If I get a solo on nationals
37:50Or if I can beat the lead
37:52So what are you going to do?
37:54Kill it
37:55I have to kill it
37:56Like dance, kill it
37:57And then I have to kill all the people
37:58I don't see it
38:11I just want to go out there
38:14And I just want to dance
38:14I want to dance for my dad
38:15And I just want to make him proud
38:17I don't care about anything else
38:19I just
38:19I'm just kidding
38:21I don't see it
38:29I just want to dance for my dad
38:31Daddy, sorry
38:35Sorry, sorry
38:36It means a lot to me
38:49That he's here
38:49And that he tried to come
38:51Because I know that
38:52I know that he was
38:53Like most of the time
38:54He's not able to
38:55And that's why he couldn't come earlier
38:56And I'm just so happy

40:57I 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.
41:18We're going to announce our top advanced junior solo.
41:3132 entries competed this afternoon.
41:35In 10th place, entry number eight, Swan of Leyda.
41:40I felt like Miss 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.
41:50That's so hot.
41:51This 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.
42:05And 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, entry number 72, I Love Paris.
42:20I'm just feeling all the emotions because they haven't said my name yet.
42:24And they just called 3rd place.
42:26So I'm just really scared I'm not going to place at all.
42:29In 2nd place, entry number 37, I Didn't Know My Own Strength.
42:35Yes, she got 1st place.
42:36Yes, she did.
42:37And in 1st place, entry number 185, Someplace Else.
42:50Oh my gosh, I'm so happy.
42:52I 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 Miss Go is going to see a different me going into nationals.
43:02Next up, top advanced junior small group in 7th place.
43:092nd place, entry number 34, Requiem.
43:12I feel like all the pressure is on me now.
43:16Being in our hometown this week, trying to hold on to this undefeated season.
43:22This is our chance to show everybody what we're made of and prove all of the haters wrong.
43:282nd place, entry number 31, Infinity.
43:31And in 1st place, entry number 186, The Resort.
43:45Winning this 8th 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.
44:04It shows people that I'm still the best dance teacher in this state.
44:08Nice job, dancers.
44:09Tell us where you danced.
44:11We're at that dance company!
44:13Did he leave?
44:26He left already?
44:35You got the right kid.
44:37You get the right kid.
44:37Yeah, find the right kid.
44:40He's been so proud of you.
44:43It was really good like seeing my dad outside. I love him a lot and it feels good like knowing that he came
44:53That means more than like more than anything
44:56I'm not gonna lie. I've never been so nervous
45:11You are amazing. It was so good. It was so good now the pressure is really on one more competition before nationals regionals
45:20We got yes. Keep up the momentum ladies, right?
45:26The end of the day Alex came and got to see his daughter
45:40But it's just been such an exhausting week getting to this point that I am just tired
45:46Every time I feel like I'm coming up to the surface and can breathe something else happens
45:56It's like when it rains it pours
46:02The solos are going to audrey and gina whoever wins will get a solo at nationals
46:10It should be the best performance of your life. She's a bitch. If she lost competition, she will be the next bitch
46:17And of course a week that lilies elite it has to be like the most brutal week we've ever had. This is your opportunity
46:24This is your time to shine
46:26Next week you will be in New York City or the biggest nationals of your life
46:32If you're gonna talk about my kid, why don't you talk about her to me not glow. Oh my god
46:38Yesterday was a rough day. Yeah, wait, you guys haven't had a conversation about this. I'm mad at you
46:44I can't do another week of it. I can't
