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!
12:06Gina, what are you doing?
12:07It seems like you don't care about it.
12:08If you can't win, that's it.
12:09Win, now come back.
12:10Like, what do you think that's doing to your kid and you put her in that headspace?
12:23I do a lot for her!
12:24I'm a coordinator for her!
12:25I do a lot of them all!
12:26Oh my God.
12:27This is Mia's first national solo.
12:32That'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.
13:04You 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.
13:18I 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!
13:52Can I get pictures?
13:53Of course!
13:54Oh, Layla, ask if there's any tips for you.
13:57Those 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 do the show.
14:08Thank you so much.
14:09This trip to New York is a real eye-opener.
14:13I 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?
14:26Yeah.
14:27Oh, my gosh, yes!
14:28I'm Betty Boop.
14:29This is Betty.
14:30Yes, ma'am!
14:31Okay!
14:32What are all converting questions?
14:34I 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.
14:43Yeah.
14:44And you remember that, okay?
14:45Yeah.
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.
22:34She's going to fight for more opportunities.
22:35I get that she's talented, but someone has to learn.
22:37She's 10 years old.
22:38You don't even attempt.
22:39Kayleigh?
22:40You just let her and you.
22:41Kayleigh?
22:42Have you seen...
22:43Oh, my God, Mjoln?
22:44It's okay.
22:45Let me give you a hug.
22:46But 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'd have to compete tomorrow.
23:00Yeah, so.
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 Lake, travel!
25:30Layla, you're late.
25:31I'm already.
25:32The 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.
25:48Who 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 like I've picked up
25:57a lot of slack when she's distracted by Audrey and Tammy.
26:01I've been the one there to work with the kids.
26:03So knowing that she brought me here to help her, but then
26:06only 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, no, that's not, like, it's way more cutesy.
26:26OK, now you just look like you're not trying, like you don't care.
26:29Mia.
26:31There we go.
26:32Leslie, you might have to intervene.
26:34Yeah, I'm sure she's trying to take her part.
26:36Go like this.
26:37Ooh.
26:37Do you see her eyes?
26:38I don't feel like you really are trying.
26:42You would chill with her for a minute and help her out because I can't.
26:46It's OK.
26:47It's OK.
26:48Don't open your eyes, like, too much.
26:49Just open them like that.
26:51No, no, no.
26:52That's too much.
26:53Don't like that.
26:54I don't know if I can do that.
26:55Oops.
26:56Oops.
26:57OK.
26:58OK.
26:59I just want to have a few words with her.
27:02I'll lay a laugh.
27:05It's OK.
27:06I'm not doing good.
27:09It's not like I'm not doing good enough, but I also feel like it.
27:14Baby, we talked about this.
27:18Yes.
27:19I know.
27:20You are.
27:21Look at me.
27:22Don't let it break you, girl.
27:23You can do this.
27:24Get it together.
27:25It's not helping.
27:26Listen, we're all rooting for us.
27:28We want her to do well.
27:29We want her to do well.
27:30Yeah.
27:31We need her to do well.
27:32We want her to do well.
27:33But this is Layla.
27:34That's the thing about this.
27:36She has the talent.
27:38Like, she has the gift.
27:40It's just getting it out there is so hard.
27:44OK.
27:45Let me show you something.
27:46No, don't show me anything.
27:47I'm going to show you.
27:48I'm going to show you.
27:49No, no, no.
27:50Stop.
27:51Mom, stop.
27:52Just raise your eyebrows and smile.
27:53Mom, stop.
27:54Mom.
27:55Eyebrows.
27:56Stop.
27:57OK.
27:58Let me see.
27:59You smile.
28:00And you give me Betty Boop look.
28:02Look.
28:03Eyebrows.
28:04Smile.
28:05No, take a deep breath.
28:07Mom.
28:08Stop.
28:09Layla, we need to run the dance.
28:11She's good.
28:12Come on.
28:13Get it together.
28:14Hey, guys.
28:15You ready?
28:16She's just feeling the pressure, which is to be expected.
28:19But I'm not going to let my daughter break down.
28:20But 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.
28:29Okay.
28:30All right.
28:31Yes.
28:32Yeah, girl.
28:33Hey, Mia.
28:34Where is your hand?
28:35Lily, you don't look happy.
28:36You look like confused.
28:37Ashley, you don't look happy either.
28:38Smile.
28:39hey Mia where's your hand Lily you don't look happy you look like confused
28:45Ashley you don't look happy either smile I personally feel like the girls have
28:50been overconfident this season because they've won every competition so far and
28:54I think this week for the first time ever the pressure is really starting to
28:57kick in yeah I mean casting directors agents choreographers will all be
29:02watching and these girls know what that means they look up to Maddie Ziegler and
29:07Jojo Siwa and they know that if they give the performance of their lives their
29:12dreams could come true
29:16Gina you have no idea what you're doing
29:21not a clue
29:22go get to the middle
29:25Gina what are you doing uh whoa whoa whoa Gina you have not one clue not a
29:33single step in this dance not one clue no I don't know when you're gonna figure it
29:36out because you go on stage in 24 hours but you're gonna figure it out because
29:40this is your last rehearsal Jing she's about to get her solo taken away because
29:44she doesn't know this group and that is not fair to any of these kids in here
29:48Katie I try my best to help her but she doesn't care I can't help
29:54okay so make her practice it keep her in her room and make her go over her dance
29:58Katie no that's on you I understand your frustration with her and I I'm glad that
30:03you understand why we're frustrated with her too but you're responsible for what she does on
30:06her time off I'm very upset because Gina doesn't care but I care if I don't give her the pressure
30:12she can't win that's why she needed me here Jing already told her if she doesn't win national she's
30:18not coming back to the I will not come back for next season seriously yes she did yep I trying to
30:23give her the pressure I want she can feel that I want she can pay attention but she doesn't want it
30:29how can I do for her I do a lot for her you guys go fight go out go out give me so much pressure
30:40okay okay go go go go go Tina go go out you just push me I'm trying to help you all we're trying to
30:50tell you is Tina I already don't want talking with you you're worse it hurt me and the moms didn't want
30:57Tammy back because of the drama today's the day this is nationals in the heart of the Big Apple
31:19there's a lot going on we have Gina and Mia that are doing solos and for the group number we have
31:25been gifted this incredible song from Boop the musical and on top of that we have five of the
31:31top agencies in New York City in the house watching these girls this could be life-changing for them
31:43but let's be honest it's been a rough couple of weeks I've lost my star student I've lost one of my
31:49best friends and yesterday I thought we were losing Jing and Gina listen up I need all moms and solo
31:56dancers to come with me to the green room but for now I need to focus on me and Gina one of them could
32:02walk away with a national title and one of them definitely will not do you need a help do you know no
32:13have you guys been able to talk after what happened yesterday the air feels a little tense I know you
32:24had a lot of emotions so if you want to talk about it or not you have to say something Jing Jing we're not
32:32trying to like pressure you into anything it just honestly like even just for team camaraderie like we
32:37all want to have a good time it's our last competition of the season you all judge about
32:43me and Gina I only care about the place I don't care about my kids feeling that's all you guys talk
32:48to me all I'm saying is when Mia said she comes to me for comfort and Gina doesn't do that Gina when
32:55you have the hard time you come to your mom you'll come to somebody else how you can charge my
33:03parenting to my kids that's totally making me crazy can we take the kids out Gina please Gina
33:11can I just say something to Gina you don't need to talk to my kids stop talking with her Gina I just
33:18don't want this to impact just cover your ears nobody love you over than your mom go I'm just
33:25like frustrated with Ting Ting right now because I don't think she really gets me my mom has to be
33:30hard on me because I know what to do sometimes but then I don't do it I'm really thankful that I
33:35have her to do that and I just don't think the other won't see that we all see the effort you're
33:40putting in what is happening she won't receive anything we're trying to tell her don't come to
33:46me as a talk about a my relationship with my kids breathe breathe just take a deep breath everybody
33:52let her be and I'm not saying that God has stricken us down I'm not saying that you guys have done it
33:59but whatever she's feeling her feelings are valid if she doesn't win she's leaving if we don't have a
34:04conversation I'm not letting Gina leave you guys is not trying to help me you are trying to give me
34:11pressure everybody shut the hell up feels like we're getting blamed for everything these seven
34:22grown-ass women are going to sabotage Mia and Gina and everything they have worked for okay this is it
34:29Gina okay they have sacrificed everything and they deserve the opportunity to step out on that
34:36stage and show the world what they're made of okay Mia here we go up up careful I know it's slippery be
34:47here careful okay we're gonna restart Mia don't do it Mia we're gonna start over Mia Mia stop we're
34:59gonna start over okay take a deep breath wait listen to me you have time to maybe run this one so don't
35:06get yourself worked up it's fine every single time Mia messes up and asks to stop the music my mom stops it
35:12and lets her start over if she messes up on stage she's gonna stop okay that's your fault because you
35:16should be training her yes ma'am yes ma'am sorry this is it Gina you have to emote Mia you have to
35:22trust yourself don't freak out one of you could be national champion that's huge I love you both so
35:29much and guess what I know that you both can do this I have no doubt in the world really yeah
35:46I've been thinking about how this is like a lot of pressure on me to win because my mom said if I
36:00didn't then I wouldn't be on the team anymore I think I just have to emote and do what I have to do and
36:05be the best of myself number 52 love over fear
36:09it doesn't matter if you mess up real bad take the lesson let the past be the past today's a brand new day
36:31it's never hopeless if you don't think it is it's really all and how you're looking at it you gotta push on through the pain
36:47the pain and I am alone to me ages and ages to see that I am alone the voice inside is talking to me you gotta power
37:03the power when it starts right here
37:09Oh
37:11Oh
37:13Okay
37:37She was beautiful on stage, but she actually improved a couple things
37:42She didn't do the choreography the way it was said and I think the pressure of nationals got in her head
37:49How are you doing right now really nervous I got freaked out in the green room and I forgot it
37:55I cannot let that happen on stage. I'm so nervous. Can you please stop talking to me? I can't thank you

But I can hold it. I don't know if it's a poo or a fart. Sometimes I fart when I'm nervous and I'm really nervous. Probably some nervous farts. Musical theater small group 11 through 12.

45:04reckoned with, it is right now.
45:28There's so much riding on Layla's shoulders right now. The pressure she must be feeling, I can't even
45:33imagine.
45:41Number one, three, five, poop.
45:52Okay, fellas, key of G. Wait till you're saying, who is she?
46:02We hang there, New York.
46:11Put y'all ears on and let's burn this band stand down.
46:25I should know I'm not from here
46:34Local legends like some here
46:36Yeah, but now that I've come here
46:38It's where I wanna be
46:39Love the music you're playing
46:43Got me stopping and swaying
46:45You're open, but I'm staying
46:47It's where I wanna be
46:48Let me hear some of the way I'm strong licks
46:51Basic for me in the mix
46:53I can't tell the way for kicks
46:55And leave some room for me
46:56I know, leave some room for me
47:01Play the beat, play the beat
47:07And make my heart go bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
47:12I'm playing my song here
47:15Telling me I belong here
47:17Nothing bad feels wrong here
47:19I'm where I wanna be
47:20I'm where I wanna be
47:23O-M-T-H-R-E-A-N-E-S
47:26This world can slip to the moon
47:30Except a thousand times better
47:32This girl may swoon
47:34And if she does, I'll play better
47:36It's my cool skin walks now
47:44Here I'm nursing, please walk now
47:46I'm the last time I look now
47:48I'm where I wanna be
47:50I'm where I wanna be
47:50Cheap the packs of Miami's
47:52L.A.s, Oscars and Crammys
47:54But I'm not in my chair
47:56I'm where I wanna be
47:58I'm where I wanna be
48:00I'm where I wanna be
48:06I'm where I wanna be
48:11I'm where I wanna be
48:13I have just witnessed Layla's breakout performance
48:15And I think that this is the start of something big for her
48:29I think that this is the start of something big for her
48:31I'm where I wanna be
48:32I'm where I wanna be
48:35I'm where I'm standing ovation
48:36For people that weren't our moms
48:38Dancers, are you ready?
48:43All right, here we go
48:48Junior Solo 9-12 Top 10 here at Ignite Nationals
48:53In 10th place, we're gonna line it up
48:59Number 46, I will get there
49:01I think the pressure definitely got to Gina and Mia today
49:05Well, I think that Jing's ultimatum messed Gina up
49:07And I think that Ting Ting and you are too soft with Mia
49:11Are too soft with Mia and it made her completely forget her solo
49:148th place
49:16Number 52, Love Over Fear
49:19Gina, Project X, 295.2
49:23I got 8th place and my mom gave me this ultimatum
49:27That if I didn't win, then I'd have to leave this team
49:30I really love the girls, I really love Ms. Glow
49:32And I don't wanna say goodbye because we're like family
49:35I'm just gonna miss all the memories that we've made together
49:39Over these years
49:44In 4th place
49:51Number 53, Lightning in a bottle
49:53Mia, Project X, 297.8
49:59I beat Gina, but 4th is the worst that I've ever gotten in her life
50:03Are y'all ready for your Junior Small Groups?
50:08What really matters at Nationals is that overall category
50:15Which means the best out of all the winners in every age division
50:18But in order to qualify for that, we first have to win Junior Small Groups
50:22Third place
50:26Entry 101, Empire State of Mind, Thrive Body
50:31Second place
50:36Entry 129, We'll Be Fine, Exquisite House of Dance
50:40I'm really nervous that we're not gonna win
50:42Because if we lose and I'm the lead
50:45I'm not gonna be Ms. Glow's special project
50:47I'm gonna be Ms. Glow's special letdown
50:49And in 1st place
50:52Entry 135
50:56Everybody give it up for your Top 10 Junior Small Groups
50:58Now that we won 1st place in Junior Small Groups
51:01That qualifies us for the overall national title
51:04Everything that we've worked so hard for all season
51:07Has been building up to this moment
51:09And now
51:11Everybody please give me a drumroll
51:15Your 1st place in Junior Small Groups
51:17Your 1st place in Junior Small Groups
51:27You're 1st place in Junior Small Groups
51:28Your 1st place in Junior Small Groups
51:29Our 1st place in Junior Small Groups
51:31Entry 135, Boothen Doggy
51:32Thank you for the best.
51:39Everybody, please take your time to be over our schools.
51:46I'm beyond proud.
51:48This is our first season as Project X,
51:50and we didn't just show up, we dominated.
51:55Undefeated!
52:02I will never forget this moment.
52:04I will never forget this dance.
52:05I will never forget this team.
52:07I will never forget this season.
52:08So many people have worked so hard to help get you here,
52:12but you guys have worked hardest of all.
52:15Layla, I'm so proud of you.
52:17I'm really glad that I had this big opportunity,
52:20and I didn't let anybody down, I think.
52:23Layla led those girls to a national title.
52:25Seeing a student get an opportunity to shine like this,
52:28that's what teaching dance is all about.
52:32Gina, you and Mia both placed in the top ten
52:35with solos that were definitely not your best.
52:38A lot of it had to do with some events
52:40that happened this morning,
52:41and I think that there was a lot of tension in the room.
52:44However, we should be celebrating.
52:46We won! We're undefeated!
52:49We won! Our group won!
52:51Let's go Project X!
52:56I love you guys. I'm proud of you.
52:58You guys can go.
52:59Well, overall, it's been a hell of a day.
53:02We're national champions,
53:04but there are still some major unresolved issues
53:08with Jing and the moms.
53:09And after last week with Tammy,
53:11I want to settle this now,
53:13so it doesn't build into something that is unsolvable.
53:16This was some rollercoaster, like what we just did.
53:21But how do we fix the situation that's been happening with Jing?
53:25Right now, we need to move forward
53:26and figure out what we're going to do.
53:27I agree we need to move forward.
53:29Jing, I know that you gave Gina an ultimatum,
53:31and she didn't win, so where's your head now?
53:35We don't want them to leave. We really don't.
53:37If you say something that's not true,
53:40that is a hurt my feeling.
53:42Jing, it's about Gina.
53:45It's not about you.
53:47Every mom here has to take from you quite often,
53:51but it's not about them.
53:52They're here for their kids, Jing.
53:54Gina went out and got eighth place today
53:55after all the work and time we've put into her
53:58because of you all week.
54:00You telling her I'm going to quit the team
54:03if you don't win.
54:04What do you think that's doing to your kid
54:05and you put her in that headspace?
54:08Can we maybe just agree that we all need a break?
54:12We all need time to think.
54:14Let Gina go.
54:15Don't speak.
54:16I'm talking.
54:17Don't let Gina get on that bus thinking.
54:19You're pulling her out.
54:21Oh, you do understand.
54:23Jing, are you going to quit, yes or no?
54:25Because, Mom, you said we need to move forward,
54:26so let's move forward.
54:27Jing, are you quitting, yes or no?
54:29I quit.
54:30Okay, then get out.
54:31No, get out.
54:32We need to move forward with our team
54:34that we're going to have in the future.
54:36So get out.
54:37Jing, don't do this.
54:38No, if you're going to quit, get out.
54:40No, no, no, no, no.
54:41Jing, please don't do that.
54:43Jing, don't leave.
54:44I think that you were a better mom than Tammy.
54:46Okay, Lee, don't ever judge a parent
54:50when you don't have children.
54:51Stop that.
54:53I might sound like I'm being harsh right now,
54:55but in my opinion I'm making up for the damage
54:57that my mom is allowing to happen.
54:59If she wants Project X to be successful long-term,
55:02she's going to have to learn how to put her foot down.
55:04This behavior cannot keep happening.
55:06Everybody go.
55:07Everybody go.
55:08All of you leave.
55:09Jing, we'll talk about this later.
55:12I know my kid, and I know there's something
55:16much more going on than this whole thing with Jing.
55:19There's something bothering her,
55:20and I need to figure out what it is.
55:22What is wrong with you?
55:24I feel like I'm reliving last week all over again.
55:27Jing, can you please come here so we can say something?
55:31Please.
55:32Please.
55:33Can we just talk?
55:34Kaley, when someone has had enough, you back off.
55:39You let it be.
55:41All we said is you're too harsh on Gina.
55:44Why was that so hard for you?
55:45It's not.
55:46Why was that so hard for you?
55:47It's not.
55:48It's not.
55:49It's not so hard for me.
55:50It's not.
55:51You exploded.
55:52Whatever you do.
55:54How do you look at someone who's literally on the verge of a breakdown
55:59and just continue to yell at them?
56:03It's been a hard season for me.
56:05I thought my mom brought me here to help her,
56:07but she's kind of just dismissed all of my opinions.
56:10Yes, she is my mom.
56:11I want to help her.
56:12But if she's just going to continue to shut me down,
56:14then why am I going to keep putting my own life on pause for that?
56:18I wish you would listen to me more.
56:23I wish you would listen to me more all season.
56:25It was really hard.
56:27Every time I say something, you have told me to just stop talking.
56:31Like, what did you bring me here for if not to help you?
56:35Ten wins in a row.
56:38You did not have ten wins in a row last season.
56:41I'm not saying it's only me.
56:43I came home from my ballet career, got it taken away from me,
56:49and I came straight into this.
56:52I love doing this for the kids and I love being here for the kids,
56:55but I still have not taken time to decide what I want to do for myself.
57:01And because I have some things that I feel like I missed out on
57:06or things that I wish maybe was different,
57:09like that doesn't take away from everything that you have done for me.
57:14Like, I know that I get frustrated at times,
57:18but I don't know what I would do if you weren't my mom.
57:21But for the first time in my life,
57:23I want to be the one to make a decision on what I choose to do.
57:33I don't know if I want to do this again.
57:36You didn't say if you want me here or not.
57:41Of course I want you back next season.
57:43It would probably drive each other crazy again,
57:45but I wouldn't want anybody else other than you
57:48to be the one to drive me crazy.
57:49Of course there's a small part of me
57:51that really hoped she would be happy,
57:53that we would build this family business
57:56and carry on my legacy.
57:58But now that I see that she's unhappy,
58:00I see the resentment building in her,
58:03and I don't want my daughter to resent me, ever.
58:07As a mother, all you want is to see your kid happy.
58:10Kaylee needs to live her life,
58:13and whatever that is, it's all up to her now.
58:16And I have to be okay with that.
58:22Support with whatever you want to do.
58:24You know that. I always have.
58:26I don't know what the future holds for Project X.
58:29We lost our star dancer, Audrey.
58:32We might be losing Gina,
58:34and now Kaylee might not be coming back to coach.
58:37I'm terrified of what next season might look like,
58:41because more than anything,
58:43I'm scared to do it alone.
58:45I'm scared to do it alone.
