00:00Audrey, what do you want to do?
00:09I want to go back.
00:10I think it's a mistake.
00:11She's an asset to the team.
00:13By what costs?
00:14I really think that you're a star.
00:17You could be the future of this whole studio.
00:20She is 10 years old and breaking down every second.
00:24The solos are going to Audrey and Gina.
00:27Whoever wins will get a solo at Nationals.
00:30If she loses confrontation, she will be the dad fish.
00:33Your number one soloist, the Lionfish.
00:39I'm back once again, baby.
00:41Next week, we'll be in New York City.
00:44For the biggest Nationals of your entire lives,
00:47we will be doing a collaboration with Boop the Musical.
00:52One of you guys in front of me will be playing Betty Boop.
00:56Don't you want to get your ninth win going into Nationals?
00:59Taking home that first place trophy.
01:01Baby in the fire!
01:03I am not okay.
01:05It's really clear that this is not the right place for Tammy right now.
01:09That I'm not doing this!
01:10Tammy!
01:11As much as I want Audrey on the scene forever,
01:14I have to let her go.
01:15Only in New York
01:31Can you rise to the top
01:35Only in New York
01:40This has been a tough year for everyone.
01:51Studio Blue closing down,
01:52it took its toll on the kids,
01:53it took its toll on me.
01:55I didn't know where this team would end up,
01:57and I spent so much time
01:59just trying to pick up the pieces.
02:02Thank God Kaylee's been here.
02:03Gonna run!
02:04Go! Up, up, down, Lily!
02:06But we don't always see eye to eye.
02:08Sorry, you feel that way.
02:09I don't know what type of...
02:10That sounds so genuine, Mom.
02:11When you have...
02:12Then I can't win!
02:12Then I can't win!
02:14Listen!
02:14But here we are.
02:16With nine wins in a row,
02:17an undefeated season...
02:18Broadway Texas company!
02:21And now we're standing in a Broadway studio,
02:24preparing for the biggest nationals of my career.
02:27But instead of feeling excited and inspired like we should,
02:30we have this dark cloud hanging over us
02:32because Audrey and Tammy quit the team for good.
02:35If I'm honest,
02:36I am terrified of going into a nationals this important
02:40when our team is so fractured.
02:43It's new.
02:44I'm trying to lighten the mood.
02:46What mood?
02:47The mood of your repercussions of everything
02:50I've been telling you is going to happen
02:51for the last however many weeks.
02:53What does that mean?
02:54You should not have allowed Tammy and Audrey to come back.
02:57Look what happened.
02:58Audrey wants to be here.
02:59This is all Tammy.
03:01But look at what she's doing.
03:03Look at what her mom is doing.
03:04Look at what is happening because you let her back.
03:07The state of our team could not be worse right now.
03:10Once again, it's because of Tammy.
03:12I have to make the decision that I think is best for everyone.
03:17If you were thinking about everybody,
03:19you would not have allowed her to come back.
03:20If I were thinking about...
03:21No, if you were thinking about the whole team
03:23and everybody else except for Audrey...
03:25I am not going to sit here and yell or listen to you yell.
03:29You know you're not going to sit and listen to me
03:30because I'm right and you don't want to hear anything wrong.
03:32No, that's not true.
03:32That is exactly true.
03:34I don't think it's true.
03:35You are destroying your own team.
03:36You are destroying your own studio right now.
03:38You're one.
03:40Yep.
03:41We're done.
03:41It's really frustrating that any time I go to my mom
03:46with my opinion, she just shuts it down.
03:49She only wants positive opinions
03:50and nothing that challenges her point of view.
03:54So, I feel like we need to start
03:57by addressing what happened last weekend.
03:59What happened on Saturday was unimaginable.
04:04Tammy and Audrey left the team.
04:06This was Tammy's decision.
04:07I kind of felt like they were going to do this again
04:09because Miss Tammy didn't seem very happy last week
04:13and I felt honestly really, really, really bad for her.
04:16But I do think it was the best that she left the team.
04:19We are not going to dwell on this.
04:21You girls have won with and without Audrey.
04:25Now, all of that being said, look around you.
04:28Look where you are right now.
04:30We're in New York City!
04:31You are on Broadway.
04:35This is where stars are made.
04:39David Foster, one of the biggest names in the entire music industry,
04:43is literally gifting us one of his songs
04:46from his newest Broadway musical, Boop.
04:49One of you is going to be Betty Boop
04:51and you are going to go out there and blow him away.
04:55That's what I'm waiting for.
04:56And if that's not incentive enough,
04:59I have another surprise for you all.
05:01Five of the top agents in New York City
05:04will be at your performance.
05:07Woo!
05:07Yes!
05:08That's amazing!
05:10Being signed to an agent
05:12who sees that you have something
05:14is everything.
05:16I want to get an agent
05:17that will get me to Broadway one day.
05:20On to the last pyramid of the season.
05:24On the bottom...
05:29Audrey.
05:32Audrey's not here.
05:33We will do it without her.
05:35Next on the bottom...
05:39Smiley.
05:41I saw you work really hard
05:43over the last few weeks
05:44and I want you to keep working hard
05:46so we get you off this bottom row
05:47once and for all.
05:48Understood?
05:49Yes.
05:50Next on the bottom row...
05:52Ashlyn.
05:54I wish I had seen more out of you this season.
05:58But I do actually believe
06:00that your technique has improved a lot this season.
06:03And last on the bottom row...
06:06Lily.
06:08Lily, you had your breakout performance last weekend.
06:11I want to see a lot more of those next season.
06:13On the second row...
06:15On the second row...
06:17Bellatrix.
06:19You are very clearly
06:20one of the most technical dancers on this scene.
06:24Now that you've come out of the shadows,
06:27stay there.
06:29Next.
06:30Gina.
06:31Gina, you've proven that you can be a leader
06:34and a winning soloist.
06:36That's all I've ever wanted from you.
06:38Keep going.
06:39And on the top of the pyramid...
06:43Mia!
06:45Where's Layla?
06:46Woo-hoo!
06:49You have that it factor
06:52and I have no doubt
06:53we will all see your name in lights one day.
07:02Okay, where's Layla?
07:03What's the matter?
07:05I'm so confused
07:06because I can't think of anything Layla's done
07:08to not be on the pyramid.
07:10What the heck is going on?
07:14Why do you think you're not up there?
07:15I thought this season was a lot better than I did last season.
07:20You think you did?
07:21Yeah.
07:22You've been my student
07:23since you were four years old.
07:25And from the moment I met you,
07:27I thought I was looking at a miniature Kaylee Ware.
07:30You were so talented.
07:33You were so gifted.
07:34I didn't always see you use that
07:36to your full potential.
07:38But this season,
07:40I've seen you work harder
07:42to not only grasp the styles,
07:46but to also perform
07:47and not hide who you are
07:49because you are not a shrinking violet, Layla.
07:51I mean, I know I haven't always been easy on you,
07:53but that's because I see so much of myself in you
07:55and I don't want you to look back and regret anything
07:59like I might have looked back and regret things.
08:02You are going to be better than I could ever be
08:04and you have to believe that.
08:05Layla, you may not be on the pyramid,
08:08but I have something even better for you
08:09than being on top.
08:11Layla Bell,
08:12you will be Betty Boop.
08:15Oh, my God!
08:17Oh, my God!
08:19I love being the lead role,
08:22especially for nationals.
08:23This is my first lead, like, by myself,
08:26and it's going to be Betty Boop
08:27in front of the agents.
08:31This is the best lead ever.
08:33You were worried, right?
08:35This is a huge break for her.
08:37This is the biggest opportunity of her life.
08:41Now she has to deliver.
08:43In addition to the group,
08:44we will have two solos.
08:46We already know that the first solo
08:49is going to Gina.
08:51Congratulations on earning your solo.
08:54She did a great job last competition.
08:56She has the solo international.
08:59She beat Audrey last week.
09:00She put herself every single week.
09:03The second solo was an extremely difficult decision.
09:07It came down to who exceeded my expectations.
09:13And that dancer is...
09:16Mia.
09:17We've got her two shiny new toys,
09:23Gina and Mia,
09:24getting the two solo spots.
09:26And Ting Ting and Jing,
09:27we know about them.
09:28They don't get along,
09:29so this might not be the united front
09:31I expected going into nationals week,
09:33but here we are.
09:34Girls, let's go out
09:36and bring home another national title
09:38and make history
09:39with this undefeated season.
09:41Yay!
09:42Let's do this!
09:44Moms, there's a viewing area
09:45set up for you in another room.
09:47You're dismissed.
09:48We'll start group rehearsal in a few.
09:50We're still going to be friends all the way.
09:52All right, guys,
10:05in case you didn't know,
10:06the story of Boop the musical
10:07is that Betty Boop
10:09comes from a black and white town.
10:12But then she travels to New York City
10:16and she finds friends,
10:18she finds love,
10:20she finds a whole world of color.
10:22Layla, I want you to know
10:24how she moves, how she talks.
10:25This is the biggest performance
10:27of your life for all of you.
10:29Yeah, exactly.
10:29This is nationals.
10:30They all have to bring it.
10:32All right, spread out.
10:33Okay, so we go one and two
10:35and three and four
10:36and five, six, seven, and eight.
10:41Man, you guys,
10:42I just can't believe
10:43the girls have the opportunity
10:44to do such an amazing performance
10:47with such amazing music.
10:49But one of the biggest Broadway shows.
10:51And it's hot right now.
10:52Yeah, right now.
10:53You're on stage.
10:54Let's go.
10:55You're on a Broadway stage.
10:56There's casting agents.
10:58There's directors.
10:59There's all kinds of people.
11:01Oh, glow.
11:03Moms, here are the agents
11:04that will be at the performance Saturday.
11:06Please research them.
11:07Rebel Creative Group,
11:08Artist Collective Entertainment,
11:10CESD Talent Agency,
11:12and DDO Agency.
11:13Those agents are no joke.
11:14That gives the girls motivation.
11:16Yes, because Layla has the lead
11:17doesn't mean that
11:18they have to be like,
11:19okay, I'm just going to yes,
11:20do whatever.
11:20No, you can still be
11:21such an important part of the dance
11:23even if you're not the lead.
11:24This could be a life-changing break
11:27for all of us.
11:28Just think about the exposures
11:29that they're getting this weekend.
11:30Exactly.
11:31We're steps from Broadway, y'all.
11:32This is so much more
11:33than just the normal competition
11:35we're used to.
11:36I want to like it,
11:37but I don't.
11:38You guys couldn't possibly
11:40hit those poses any weaker.
11:42Every step in this dance
11:43should be bigger than life,
11:44and it's not.
11:45The girls have a lot
11:46to live up to this week.
11:47They have the opportunity
11:48to change the trajectory
11:50of their lives.
11:52One mistake
11:52could make all the difference
11:54from being on TV,
11:56movies, Broadway,
11:57or being back home
11:59in Ashburn
12:00twiddling their thumbs
12:01and thinking about
12:02what could have been.
12:03They are literally
12:04dancing for their futures.
12:06Put in the work this week.
12:08It's important
12:08more than ever.
12:10It seems like you
12:21don't care about it.
12:22If you can't win,
12:23that's it.
12:24Win or not come back.
12:24Alec, what do you think
12:25that's doing to your kid
12:26and you put her
12:27in that head case?
12:28I do a lot for her!
12:30I'm a party team.
12:31I do a lot for her!
12:33Oh, my God.
12:34This is Mia's
12:35first national solo.
12:36That's a lot of pressure
12:37for a 10-year-old.
12:38I'd have to go be tomorrow.
12:40Yeah, so?
12:41Mia, don't do it!
12:42If ever there was a time
12:44to show the world
12:46that Project X
12:47is a force to be reckoned with
12:49is right now.
13:07This is where it will come out.
13:10Do you guys see it?
13:12We're taking a break
13:13from rehearsal
13:14to give the girls
13:15a little inspiration.
13:16Since they're dancing
13:17to a song from Boop the Musical,
13:18we're taking them
13:19to see the show tonight.
13:20But before we see the show,
13:21we're going to go meet the cast.
13:22I think it's going
13:23to be so much fun.
13:24This is where
13:25everybody wants to be.
13:27Every dancer dreams
13:28of being in New York City,
13:30being on Broadway.
13:31This is the place
13:32where it can all happen for you.
13:34It's always been a dream
13:35to watch a Broadway show,
13:36and I'm happy that I...
13:37Have you never seen
13:37a Broadway show?
13:38No, I've never seen it.
13:38Are you serious?
13:39I've never seen
13:40a Broadway show in person.
13:41Me either.
13:41We're in the studio all day.
13:43We're rehearsing.
13:43Okay, whatever.
13:44I know.
13:45Y'all need to get out more.
13:46Guys, get your phones ready.
13:48Get your phones ready
13:49so you can...
13:50I don't have a phone.
13:51Okay, well,
13:52you can get videos from them.
13:54Guys, look who it is.
13:55Can I get pictures?
13:56Yes.
13:57Of course.
14:00Oh, Layla,
14:01ask if there's any tips for you.
14:03What are some really good tips
14:04for the show?
14:05Don't be afraid
14:06to dig into the cartoon elements.
14:08Be yourself
14:09and have fun.
14:10That's how you do it.
14:11That's the key.
14:11We can't wait to see the show.
14:13Thank you so much.
14:14This trip to New York
14:15is a real eye-opener.
14:17I hope I get to talk to Jasmine
14:19and see what she has to tell me
14:21about Betty Boop
14:21because, after all,
14:22I will be doing her part.
14:24Woo!
14:25Woo!
14:25Woo!
14:26Woo!
14:26Woo!
14:26Woo!
14:27Woo!
14:27Woo!
14:28Woo!
14:28Woo!
14:28Woo!
14:28Woo!
14:29Woo!
14:29Woo!
14:29Woo!
14:29Woo!
14:30Woo!
14:30Woo!
14:30Woo!
14:30Woo!
14:31Woo!
14:31Woo!
14:32Woo!
14:32Woo!
14:32Woo!
14:33Woo!
14:33Yeah, I'm Betty Boop.
14:34OK?
14:35This is Betty.
14:36Yes, ma'am!
14:37OK!
14:38What are all the burning questions?
14:40There you go.
14:40I would say it's a cartoon.
14:41It's joyous.
14:42It's full of light.
14:42You have the skills.
14:44You have the talent.
14:44Just put them out there.
14:45Betty's message is always,
14:46you are capable of amazing things.
14:48Yeah.
14:49Can you remember that, OK?
14:50Yeah.
14:50Can I get a picture with you?
14:51Of course you may.
14:52I feel like I'm a little bit more ready to be Betty.
14:55That was the most exciting thing that ever happened.
14:57Such a good experience.
15:00I love New York!
15:02Over to Broadway, and it gets you done.
15:06All New York love's just begun.
15:20All right, listen up.
15:20Listen up.
15:21Listen up.
15:22The two of you are doing solos this week.
15:24Gina, you're doing a lyrical.
15:26It's called Love Over Fear.
15:27You're going to have to find a range of emotions, OK?
15:32You should be able to show your beautiful lyrical technique
15:34in all of your training, OK?
15:36Mia, you're doing a contemporary, OK?
15:38Yours is called Lightning in a Bottle.
15:40We're going to have some cool flashing light effects
15:42when you're up on stage.
15:43You're going to be able to show your lines
15:44and all of your flexibility, all the things
15:47you're really good at, right?
15:48I would love first and second, but I want
15:51a national title-winning soloist.
15:53We're going to start with you, Gina, all right?
15:55Earlier this season, Mia and Gina competed solos
15:59against each other, and Mia won.
16:01And last season, Gina didn't place with her solo at nationals,
16:05and she's getting another opportunity
16:07because she has had such a big season.
16:10But if she doesn't do well this year,
16:12I don't see myself giving Gina another solo at nationals
16:16ever again.
16:19Don't rush.
16:19Let me show on to the pain.
16:22Sit here.
16:23Up, step, step, step, go.
16:24Up, down, up.
16:28Watch that leg.
16:29Step, step.
16:31Up!
16:32It's a little unfair that Gina gets another lyrical.
16:35This is her third lyrical.
16:37She has a very good advantage.
16:38100%.
16:39100%.
16:40How do you think this is easy?
16:43It's for Gina, it's easy because she is a ballet dancer.
16:47And Mia can't do that.
16:49Mia can.
16:50Mia cannot.
16:52There's obvious baggage between Jing and Ting Ting.
16:55I think they've tried to sweep it under the rug a little bit.
16:58They used to both be at the same dance studio,
17:00but then they had a big falling out.
17:02And now that Mia and Gina are going against each other
17:04at nationals, it's bringing up all
17:07this bad blood between them.
17:10Do it right.
17:15Pass that.
17:16Go, reach.
17:18Gina, you're all over the place right now.
17:20And split.
17:22You're early.
17:24Oh, my god.
17:25Looks like Glo is still making the same corrections
17:27over and over, though.
17:29Gina, here's the thing.
17:31You're good, and you can do all of this amazingly.
17:35You're just choosing not to.
17:37Yeah.
17:40I was very happy.
17:41I told her, because I saw you
17:43didn't try your best.
17:45You have to pay 100% attention.
17:47She's saying she's not trying the best.
17:49She needs to put 100% effort in there.
17:52It seems like you don't care about it.
17:55Are you care about the competition,
17:57the national competition?
17:58Are you care about that?
18:00I think I'm more care than you.
18:02That's a lot to keep Gina to dance.
18:07My whole salary is going to the dance studio.
18:10I'm working for, like, the night shift,
18:13and I don't get enough time for Stevie.
18:16So most of the time, I'm sleeping under my car.
18:20That's a lot of money and time.
18:22That's why she has to take seriously
18:24and try her best to win.
18:26I don't want you lose to 10 years old.
18:30If you can't win, that's it.
18:32We're not coming back for next season.
18:36I can be like a tiger mom, but I know Gina can handle
18:40that pressure.
18:41I help her to get successful.
18:44So I'm very mean, I know, but it's OK.
18:48I give her a lot of pressure.
18:50It's just like, if you don't win the national,
18:53you are not coming back.
18:58You told her that?
18:59I told her that.
19:01That, to me, is too extreme.
19:03Sometimes you push her too hard.
19:04You all give your daughter the pressure.
19:07We all push our kids, but you are gangster with it.
19:10It's a different level.
19:14Mia, are you ready?
19:15Yeah.
19:21This is Mia's first national solo with Project X,
19:24and she's undefeated all season.
19:26So that's a lot of pressure for a 10-year-old.
19:31Knee's tight. Knee's tight.
19:32Go, five, six, seven, eight.
19:34Reach.
19:35What?
19:36You're just, what are you doing?
19:38Stop playing with your fingers.
19:40Take a deep breath.
19:41You're fine.
19:42I'm really nervous that Gina has a lyrical,
19:44and I have to compete against her because Gina's, like,
19:47lyrical is Gina's strength, and she beat Audrey with it,
19:50kind of freaking me out.
19:52You're going to get points deducted if you cry on stage,
19:55so stop.
19:56My mom definitely treats Mia differently
19:58than the rest of the girls when she does have a breakdown.
20:00And it's not Mia's fault, because she hasn't been told
20:03that it's wrong.
20:04Our job as a teacher is to teach them, not to coddle them.
20:08From my standpoint, I love them so much
20:10that I'm not going to accept less than their best,
20:12because I want that for them.
20:13You're stressed, and you're not focusing
20:15on what you're doing.
20:16How is that going to help if you just stand there and cry?
20:19It's not, but that means I'm going to mess up both days.
20:21Mia, having a meltdown isn't going to help matters at all.
20:24I'm scared because I don't want to mess up.
20:27If I think about it, it's just the same thing as doing
20:29another solo at a different competition.
20:32It's just different because it's nationals.
20:34But it's just a word.
20:37It's just a word.
20:38Nationals is just a word.
20:39Just, you know?
20:41Just a word.
20:43It's not a Mia solo week or lead without a meltdown.
20:46I know you don't want to mess up, but you are.
20:48So we have to accept that and move on.
20:50You're about to give up your spot.
20:52You're about to.
20:52That's what I'm scared of.
20:53OK, so shh.
20:54I mean, she is going up against Gina.
21:04She feels the pressure.
21:05Gina has a pressure, too.
21:07Yeah, but she got the pressure from a competitor,
21:10not from her mother.
21:11Yeah.
21:12And you reach, and you mouth.
21:15Get some water, Mia.
21:17Get water.
21:17Get water.
21:18You did it.
21:19You kept going.
21:20You kept going.
21:20Get water.
21:21Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen.
21:23OK, we don't, Mia, we don't have time for it.
21:25We don't have time.
21:26Shh.
21:27Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
21:29Breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe,
21:31breathe, breathe, breathe.
21:33OK.
21:34I'm going in.
21:37You need to take a deep breath.
21:38Oh, my god.
21:42Come on!
21:43Layla, you're late.
21:44I'm not doing good enough.
21:46Don't let it break you, girl.
21:48Get it together.
21:49Gina doesn't care, but I care.
21:51Ching, she's about to get her solo taken away.
21:54Don't come to me about a man relationship with Maggie.
21:57Every mom here has to take from you quite often.
22:01Everybody shut the hell up.
22:05I don't know if I want to do this again.
22:12Ching Ching, why don't you take her out for a minute?
22:14You got to listen to me.
22:15You need to go with your mom and take a minute.
22:19She's so hard on herself.
22:20I know she'll do it.
22:21She always does it.
22:21She pulls it out.
22:22I know, but I feel like you know that it takes some time.
22:25Maybe for nationals, you can't wait.
22:28Like, you can't trust that they're going to get there.
22:30She'll get there.
22:31But it needs to be people that are there, like, immediately.
22:34If she stops, take the solo away.
22:36If she's not going to behave like she needs to,
22:38don't give her more opportunities.
22:39I get that she's talented, but someone has to learn.
22:42She's 10 years old.
22:43You don't even attempt.
22:45Kaylee?
22:45You just let her.
22:46And you, oh, my god, Mia.
22:47Kaylee?
22:47Have you seen?
22:48OK, let me give you a hug.
22:49But you did the same thing with Audrey when she was young,
22:51and look how that turned out.
22:53I'm not going to punish a child because they're struggling.
22:58She needs some support.
22:59That's what she needs.
23:00She needs somebody to be there for her.
23:03I need you to pull it together and don't do this again,
23:11so you have more time.
23:13Do you understand?
23:15I've never seen her this nervous before a solo.
23:18So that was eye-opening to me, even.
23:23Mia, go.
23:29Tight, fast feet.
23:30Turn.
23:33Squeeze your nut tight, tight, tight, tight.
23:36She is very scared of Gina's solo.
23:41So this is when I come in, I need to de-pressure that.
23:43I don't believe in you.
23:45I think that the pressure from you is not me thinking about it.
23:49That's what you do, Jane.
23:51I feel for Gina.
23:52I feel like you're too hard on her sometimes.
23:54Are you Gina?
23:55I'm not Gina, but I grew up having a mom like you.
23:59My mom was a tiger mom, a typical Asian tiger mom.
24:02And this is why I am the mother I am today,
24:05because I don't treat my daughter that way, right?
24:08Because I don't agree with that parenting style.
24:10I see her constantly crying and telling you, don't talk to me.
24:14I don't want to talk to you.
24:15She feels too much pressure when you're there.
24:18Why does she cry when you go to backstage?
24:20She's talking to me like that.
24:27The pressure that you give Gina is so high.
24:30You believe that it works, but at what cost?
24:34I only want to do the things like help my kids chasing her dream
24:39and make her dream come true.
24:41Jane, is it Gina's dream or your dream?
24:44Because you say I a lot.
24:45That is not my dream.
24:47From what we see, that's not how she is.
24:51Tinti, shut up.
24:52I'm very close with Gina.
24:54We're a very healthy relationship.
24:56You're really upset about this.
24:58We're just trying to help you here.
25:00I don't need your help.
25:01Why you think you're helping me?
25:02She is fine.
25:04I see her cry a lot.
25:05Don't bring it up, Tinti.
25:06And that is the last time I just told you.
25:10They don't no my relationship with my daughter,
25:13and that they just see her to judge me is not right.
25:17I love Gina so much.
25:19That's why I push her.
25:20And she need me to give her the pressure.
25:26Three, four, five, six, go!
25:30I don't believe anything you're doing.
25:33All right.
25:34Travel.
25:35Leila, you're late.
25:36Already, that beginning part is a hot mess.
25:39You guys have to take this downstage, okay?
25:41Doesn't mean you leap downstage.
25:43You leap straight across.
25:44You have to start up here.
25:45What? No.
25:46They can't do a diagonal straddle leap, Kaylee.
25:49They're all literally leaping like this.
25:52Okay, whatever.
25:53Once my help will let me help.
25:55For her to still be discounting everything I have to say
25:58is really frustrating because I feel like I've picked up
26:02a lot of slack when she's distracted by Audrey and Tammy.
26:05I've been the one there to work with the kids.
26:08So knowing that she brought me here to help her
26:10but then only wants my help when it's convenient to her
26:13makes me question why she wanted me here in the first place.
26:16Layla, you need to know the words that she talks.
26:20Say, now I'm blushing.
26:22Now I'm blushing.
26:24Oh.
26:27No, that's not, like, it's way more cutesy.
26:31Okay, now you just look like you're not trying,
26:33like you don't care.
26:34Mia.
26:36Here we go.
26:37Leslie, you might have to intervene.
26:39Yeah, I'm sure she said to take her part.
26:41Go like this.
26:42Ooh.
26:42Do you see her eyes?
26:45I don't feel like you really are trying.
26:48You chill with her for a minute and help her out
26:50because I can't.
26:52It's okay, it's okay.
26:53Don't open your eyes, like, too much.
26:55Just open them, like, that.
26:57No, no, no, that's too much.
26:59Don't, like...
27:00I don't think I'm going to do that.
27:04Okay.
27:05I just want to have a few words with her.
27:10It's okay.
27:13I'm not doing good.
27:14I feel like I'm not doing good enough.
27:18But I also feel like it...
27:20Baby, we talked about this.
27:24Yes, I know.
27:25You are...
27:25Look at me.
27:27Don't let it break you, girl.
27:28You can do this.
27:29Get it together.
27:30It's not helping.
27:32Listen, we're all rooting for Layla.
27:34We want her to do well.
27:35We need her to do well.
27:37We want her to do well.
27:37But this is Layla.
27:39That's the thing about this.
27:40She has the talent.
27:43Like, she has the gift.
27:45It's just getting it out there is so hard.
27:50Okay, let me show you something.
27:52No, don't show me anything.
27:53I'm going to show you.
27:53No, no, no.
27:54I'm going to show you.
27:54No, no, no.
27:54Stop.
27:55When you're doing...
27:56Stop.
27:56Just raise your eyebrows and smile.
27:58Mom, stop.
27:59Mom.
27:59Eyebrows.
28:00Mom.
28:00Stop.
28:01Okay, can you get it together?
28:02Yes.
28:03Let me see.
28:03You smile.
28:05And you give me Betty Boop look.
28:07Eyebrows.
28:08Smile.
28:09No, take a deep breath.
28:12Mom, stop.
28:14Layla, we need to run the dance.
28:15She's good.
28:17Come on.
28:18Get it together.
28:19Hey, guys, you ready?
28:21She's just feeling the pressure,
28:22which is to be expected.
28:24But I'm not going to let my daughter break down.
28:26We didn't come this far
28:27to just squander an opportunity like this.
28:29This is why we're here.
28:30So I'm not going to let this pass us.
28:33I'm not.
28:35All right.
28:38Yeah, girl.
28:44Hey.
28:46Mia, where's your hand?
28:47Lily, you don't look happy.
28:49You look like confused.
28:51Ashley, you don't look happy either.
28:52Smile.
28:52I personally feel like the girls
28:54have been overconfident this season
28:56because they've won every competition so far.
28:59And I think this week,
29:00for the first time ever,
29:01the pressure is really starting to kick in.
29:03Yeah.
29:03I mean, casting directors, agents, choreographers
29:06will all be watching.
29:08And these girls know what that means.
29:10They look up to Maddie Ziegler and Jojo Siwa,
29:13and they know that if they give the performance
29:16of their lives,
29:17their dreams could come true.
29:23Gina, you have no idea what you're doing.
29:26Not a clue.
29:28Go!
29:29Get to the middle!
29:32Gina, what are you doing?
29:33Uh, whoa, whoa, whoa.
29:36Gina, you have not one clue.
29:37Not a clue.
29:38A single step in this dance.
29:39Not one clue.
29:40Nope.
29:40I don't know when you're going to figure it out
29:41because you go on stage in 24 hours,
29:44but you're going to figure it out
29:45because this is your last rehearsal.
29:47Jing, she's not getting her solo taken away
29:49because she doesn't know this group,
29:50and that is not fair to any of these kids in here.
29:53Katie, I tried my best to help her,
29:56but she doesn't care.
29:58I can't help.
29:59Okay, so make her practice it.
30:00Keep her in her room
30:01and make her go over her dance.
30:03Katie.
30:04No, that's on you.
30:05I understand your frustration with her,
30:07and I'm glad that you understand
30:08why we're frustrated with her, too,
30:09but you're responsible for what she does on her time off.
30:12I'm very upset because Gina doesn't care,
30:15but I care.
30:16If I don't give her the pressure, she can win.
30:18That's why she needed me here.
30:21Jing already told her if she doesn't win national,
30:23she's not coming back to the elite team.
30:24I will not come back for next season.
30:25Seriously?
30:26Yeah, she did.
30:27Yep.
30:27I tried to give her the pressure.
30:30I want she can feel that.
30:31I want she can pay attention,
30:33but she doesn't want it.
30:35How can I do for her?
30:36I do a lot for her!
30:39I'm recording me right now!
30:41You guys go.
30:42Bye.
30:42Go out.
30:43Go out.
30:43Give me so much pressure!
30:45Okay, okay.
30:46I go out of all my seats.
30:47Go, go, go, go.
30:49Gina, go out.
30:51You just push me.
30:52I'm trying to help you.
30:54All we're trying to tell you is...
30:56I already don't want talking with you.
30:58You're worse.
30:59It hurt me.
31:01And the moms didn't want Tammy back because of the drama?
31:20Today's the day.
31:21This is Nationals in the heart of the Big Apple.
31:25There's a lot going on.
31:26We have Gina and Mia that are doing solos.
31:28And for the group number,
31:30we have been gifted this incredible song from Boop the Musical.
31:33And on top of that,
31:35we have five of the top agencies in New York City
31:38in the house watching these girls.
31:40This could be life-changing for them.
31:43Oh, yeah.
31:45Oh, yeah.
31:45Oh, yeah.
31:45Oh, yeah.
31:46Oh, yeah.
31:46Oh, yeah.
31:47Oh, yeah.
31:47Oh, yeah.
31:47Oh, yeah.
31:48Well, let's be honest.
31:49It's been a rough couple of weeks.
31:51I've lost my star student.
31:53I've lost one of my best friends.
31:55And yesterday, I thought we were losing Jing and Gina.
31:58Listen up.
31:59I need all moms and solo dancers
32:01to come with me to the green room.
32:03But for now, I need to focus on Mia and Gina.
32:06One of them could walk away with a national title,
32:09and one of them definitely will not.
32:10Do you need help, Gina?
32:17Uh-uh.
32:17No?
32:18Okay.
32:23Have you guys been able to talk
32:24after what happened yesterday?
32:25The air feels a little tense.
32:28I know you had a lot of emotions,
32:30so if you want to talk about it or not,
32:34you have to say something, Jing.
32:37Jing, we're not trying to, like,
32:38pressure you into anything.
32:39It just, honestly, like,
32:40even just for team camaraderie,
32:42like, we all want to have a good time.
32:43It's our last competition of the season.
32:46You all judge about me and Gina.
32:49I only care about the place.
32:50I don't care about my kids' feeling.
32:52That's all you guys talk to me.
32:54All I'm saying is, when Mia's sad,
32:56she comes to me for comfort,
32:58and Gina doesn't do that.
32:59Gina, when you have the hard time,
33:01you come to your mom,
33:02you come to somebody else.
33:03Yeah.
33:06How you can judge my parenting to my kids?
33:09That's totally making me crazy!
33:12Oh!
33:14Can we take the kids out?
33:15Gina, please, take the kids out.
33:17Gina, go, baby.
33:17Can I just say something to Gina?
33:19You don't need to talk to my kids.
33:21Stop talking with her.
33:22Gina, I just don't want this.
33:24Just, just, just cover your ears.
33:26Nobody love you more over than your mom.
33:29Go.
33:29I'm just, like, frustrated with Ting Ting right now
33:31because I don't think she really gets me.
33:33My mom has to be hard on me
33:35because I know what to do sometimes,
33:37but then I don't do it.
33:39I'm really thankful that I have her to do that,
33:41and I just don't think the other mom see that.
33:43Wait, I'll see the effort you're putting in.
33:45What is happening?
33:47She won't receive anything we're trying to tell her.
33:50Don't come to me
33:51as I'm talking about my relationship with my kids.
33:54Okay, Jing, breathe, breathe.
33:55Just take a deep breath.
33:57Everybody, let her be,
33:58and I'm not saying that God has stricken us down.
34:02I'm not saying that you guys have done it,
34:04but whatever she's feeling, her feelings are valid.
34:07If she doesn't win, she's leaving.
34:09If we don't have the conversation now,
34:10I'm not letting Gina leave.
34:11You guys is not trying to help me.
34:14You are trying to give me pressure.
34:16No, we're not pressure.
34:18What?
34:18Everybody, shut the hell up.
34:20Feels like we're getting blamed for everything.
34:26These seven grown-ass women
34:28are going to sabotage Mia and Gina
34:31and everything they have worked for.
34:33Okay, this is it, Gina, okay?
34:35They have sacrificed everything,
34:37and they deserve the opportunity
34:39to step out on that stage
34:41and show the world what they're made of.
34:47Okay, Mia, here we go.
34:50Up, up, careful.
34:51I know it's slippery.
34:52Be here, careful.
34:56It's okay.
34:57No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
34:58No, no, no, restart.
34:59Okay, we're going to restart.
35:00Mia, don't do it.
35:01Mia, we're going to start over.
35:02Mia.
35:03Mia, stop.
35:04We're going to start over.
35:07Okay, take a deep breath.
35:08Wait, listen to me.
35:09You have time to maybe run this once,
35:10so don't get yourself worked up.
35:12It's fine.
35:13Every single time Mia messes up
35:15and asks to stop the music,
35:16my mom stops it and lets her start over.
35:18If she messes up on stage,
35:19she's going to stop.
35:19Okay.
35:20And that's your fault
35:20because you should be training her
35:21to not do that.
35:22Yes, ma'am.
35:22Yes, ma'am, sorry.
35:23This is it.
35:25Gina, you have to emote.
35:26Mia, you have to trust yourself.
35:28Don't freak out.
35:30One of you could be national champion.
35:31That's huge.
35:32I love you both so much.
35:35And guess what?
35:35I know that you both can do this.
35:38I have no doubt in the world.
35:39Really?
35:40Yeah, right.
36:00I've been thinking about how this is like a lot of pressure on me to win
36:03because my mom said that if I didn't,
36:05then I wouldn't be on the team anymore.
36:07I think I just have to emote and do what I have to do
36:10and be the best of myself.
36:11Number 52, Love Over Fear.
36:13It doesn't matter if you mess up real bad
36:28Take the lesson, let the past be the past
36:33Today's a brand new day
36:37It's never hopeless if you don't think it is
36:43It's really all in how you're looking at it
36:46You gotta push on through the pain
36:52And oh, took me ages and ages to see
37:00And oh, the voice inside is talking to me
37:06Saying you got the power, the power
37:10And it starts right here
37:12It starts right here
37:13It's just another fear
37:16It's just another fear
37:20It's just another fear
37:21It's just another fear
37:22It's never further
37:23Yeah, yeah, yeah
37:26Love over fear
37:31Gina's beautiful on stage
37:45But she actually improbbed a couple things
37:47She didn't do the choreography the way it was set
37:50And I think the pressure of nationals got in her head
37:52How are you doing right now?
37:57Really nervous
37:57I got freaked out in the green room and I forgot it
38:00I cannot let that happen on stage
38:02I'm so nervous, can you please stop talking to me?
38:04I can
38:04Thank you
38:05Contestant number 53, Lightning in a Bottle
38:09Oh
38:14Mr. Kim
38:17Oh
38:19Oh
38:20Oh
38:21Oh
38:23Oh
38:26Oh
38:27Oh
38:30Oh
38:32Oh
38:36Oh
38:38Oh
38:38Oh
38:38Oh
38:39Oh
38:55Keep going
39:09Let's go, Mia! Let's go!
39:17Keep going!
39:22What did I tell you?
39:25It didn't matter.
39:26But she wasn't going to go.
39:28There was none that I could do.
39:31In every rehearsal she ever had,
39:33when she could get your dance,
39:34she has a bell to go in every rehearsal.
39:38I've never seen you that nervous before you got to see them.
39:41This is what happens.
39:43I'm not mad at you, baby.
39:45I'm not mad at you.
39:46I'm just saying, can you please calm down?
39:49Tintin is trying to teach me how to be like a better mom.
39:53But look how Smeadie.
39:55Don't teach me.
39:56Use my way.
39:57Gina can handle the pressure.
39:59And she can be winning every competition.
40:01You won another chance.
40:04You advocate for yourself.
40:06You earned that second chance.
40:10Okay?
40:11If a dancer forgets their routine,
40:14the judges deduct points if they go a second time.
40:17You got this.
40:18I can do this.
40:18I got this, Mia.
40:19I got this.
40:20Okay.
40:20I can do it.
40:22Did you forget?
40:24Uh, it just got in my head.
40:27Okay.
40:27That's okay.
40:28Well, let's deduct points.
40:31Don't worry about that.
40:32How about you go out there and you start from the very beginning.
40:35You tell your story.
40:36Don't worry about any points.
40:38Okay?
40:38The judges are there to watch you.
40:40We're all here to support you.
40:41Okay?
40:42So start over.
40:43Here we go.
40:43I'm like, what is happening?
40:47I would never have done that.
40:48But it took a lot of courage for her to go back on stage.
40:51Let's go, Mia!
40:54You went up to her with so much determination and you just advocated for yourself.
41:01Like, I was like, that's my girl and that's what I've been training you for.
41:04Let's go, Mia!
41:07You got this!
41:09Consumption number 52, Walt Disney World.
41:14Let's go!
41:16Let's go, Mia!
41:19Let's go!
41:20You got this!
41:23Yeah!
41:24Work!
41:25Work!
41:31Work!
41:32Work!
41:32Work!
41:32Work!
41:32Work!
41:32Work!
41:32Work!
41:32Work!
41:33Work!
41:33Work!
41:33Work!
41:33Work!
41:34Work!
41:34Work!
41:34Work!
41:37Work!
41:44Work!
41:58Work!
41:58She's improv-ing, it's OK.
42:04Oh, oh, oh, oh!
42:34Let's go, Mia!
42:52It's exactly what I told her.
42:53It's going to happen if she...
42:55What'd she do that time?
42:55What'd she do that time?
42:57She didn't cry.
42:57After she ran off the first time.
42:59Guess what?
43:00She didn't probably have to have that dance.
43:02She stayed on.
43:03You actually did pretty good
43:04because I don't think anybody noticed
43:06except for me and Ms. Glow, Ms. Kaylee,
43:10maybe some of the moms, you know.
43:12Wait, that's a lot of people.
43:15All right, well, not going to lie,
43:18not your best.
43:20I'm disappointed for you guys, right?
43:23Because you worked so hard.
43:25You knew these dances,
43:26and I told you you can't get in your head.
43:29All right, solos are out of our head.
43:32Anything else that's been going on this morning
43:34is out of our head.
43:36We are moving forward.
43:37The only thing I am concerned about right now
43:40is this group routine.
43:42You're a team, right?
43:43We're going to act as a team.
43:45That's the most important thing right now.
43:46This is what matters.
43:47It's where I want to be.
43:53So, so far, this nationals has kind of been a disaster.
43:56It's up to Layla to turn this all around.
43:58Seems like this group dance might be our only chance
44:01at a national title.
44:04Ow!
44:05You've got this.
44:07I love you all.
44:07We're going to crush this,
44:08and we're going to celebrate after.
44:10Oh, God.
44:11Let's do this.
44:12Let's go.
44:13Woo!
44:13Woo!
44:13Woo!
44:14Woo!
44:14Woo!
44:25Sometimes the stars just align
44:26from moments like this.
44:28Like, we were in Nashville
44:29and minding our business.
44:30Right?
44:31Yeah.
44:31I'm really nervous
44:34because this is my first lead role by myself,
44:36and I really don't want to mess it up,
44:38and especially because this is nationals.
44:40If we win this,
44:41we were undefeated the whole season,
44:43and if we don't win it,
44:43I feel like it's going to be my fault.
44:46I have to go poo.
44:46P-S-P-P!
44:48Do you really?
44:49Yeah.
44:50Kind of do.
44:51Okay.
44:51But I can hold it.
44:52I don't know if it's poo or a fart.
44:54Sometimes I fart when I'm nervous,
44:55and I'm really nervous.
44:56Probably some nervous farts.
44:58Musical Theatre Small Group, 11 through 12.
45:01It all comes down to this.
45:02If ever there was a time
45:04to show the world
45:06that Project X
45:07is a force to be reckoned with,
45:09it is right now.
45:10There's so much riding on Layla's shoulders right now.
45:36The pressure she must be feeling,
45:38I can't even imagine.
45:39Number one, three, five, poop.
45:48Okay, fellas, key of G.
46:02Wait, you're saying,
46:05who is she?
46:09Hey,
46:10they're New
46:12your cut-time.
46:14Let's go!
46:18Put your ears on
46:22and let's burn this band stand down.
46:34Thank you!
46:34I should know I'm not from here.
46:39Local legends like some here.
46:41Yeah, but now that I've come here,
46:43it's where I wanna be.
46:46Love the music you're playing,
46:48got me stopping and swaying.
46:50You're walking bold,
46:51but I'm staying.
46:52It's where I wanna be.
46:54Let me hear some of the way I'm trying to mix.
46:56Face it for me in the mix.
46:58I got to wait for kicks
47:00and leave some room for me.
47:01I got to leave some room for me.
47:05I got to wait for kicks
47:09and make my heart go
47:14bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam.
47:18Don't sing my song here.
47:20Telling me I belong here.
47:22Nothing bad if you're strong here.
47:24I'm where I wanna be.
47:26I'm where I wanna be.
47:28O-U-T-E-R-E-S.
47:33This world looks swift to the moon
47:35and it's six a thousand times better.
47:38This girl is cool
47:39and if she does, I play better.
47:42Woo!
47:44Let's go!
47:46Up, up, up, up!
47:47It's my husband walks now.
47:50Here I'm nursing, he's walking down
47:51for the last time I look now.
47:53I'm where I wanna be.
47:56Chips and cats in Miami.
47:57L.A. Sources and crammies.
48:00But I'm dying in my tummies.
48:01I'm where I wanna be.
48:03I'm where I wanna be.
48:05I'm where I wanna be.
48:07I'm where I wanna be.
48:17I'm where I wanna be.
48:23I have just witnessed Laila's breakout performance
48:33and I think that this is the start
48:35of something big for her.
48:36I'm where I wanna be.
48:38I'm where I wanna be.
48:39I'm where I'm going.
48:40Are we gonna stand an ovation
48:41for people that weren't our moms?
48:47Dancers, are you ready?
48:52Alright, here we go.
48:54Junior solo 9 to 12 top 10
48:56here at Ignite Nationals.
49:03In 10th place, we're going to line it up.
49:05Number 46, I will get there.
49:08I think the pressure definitely got to Gina and Mia today.
49:11Well, I think that Jing's ultimatum messed Gina up,
49:13and I think that Ting Ting and you are too soft with Mia,
49:17and it made her completely forget her solo.
49:198th place.
49:22Number 52, Love Over Fear.
49:24Gina, Project X.
49:262.95.2.
49:28I got 8th place, and my mom gave me this ultimatum
49:32that if I didn't win, then I'd have to leave this team.
49:35I really love the girls, I really love Ms. Glow,
49:37and I don't want to say goodbye, because we're like family.
49:41I'm just going to miss all the memories
49:43that we've made together over these years.
49:49In 4th place.
49:56Number 53, Lightning in a Bottle, Mia, Project X, 297.8.
50:04I beat Gina, but 4th is the worst that I've ever gotten in her life.
50:08What really matters at nationals is that overall category.
50:20Which means the best out of all the winners in every age division.
50:24But in order to qualify for that, we first have to win Junior Small Groups.
50:273rd place.
50:31Entry 101, Empire State of Mind, Tribe Body.
50:362nd place.
50:37Entry 129, We'll Be Fine, Exquisite House of Dance.
50:42I'm really nervous that we're not going to win,
50:46because if we lose, and I'm the lead,
50:50I'm not going to be Ms. Glow's special project.
50:52I'm going to be Ms. Glow's special letdown.
50:55And in 1st place.
50:57Entry 135, We'll Be Fine, Exquisite House of Dance.
51:00Entry 135, We'll Be Fine, Exquisite House of Dance.
51:09Everybody, give it up for your top 10 Junior Small Groups.
51:13Now that we won 1st place in Junior Small Groups,
51:15that qualifies us for the overall national title.
51:18Everything that we've worked so hard for all season
51:21has been building up to this moment.
51:24And now, everybody, please give me a drum roll.
51:30Your 1st place, National Champions,
51:34are Entry 135, We'll Be Fine, Exquisite House of Dance.
51:40Everybody, give it up for your top 10 Junior Small Groups.
51:44Everybody, give it up for your top 10 Junior Small Groups.
51:48Project X Dance Company!
51:51I'm beyond proud.
51:53This is our first season as Project X,
51:55and we didn't just show up, we dominated.
51:58Let's go!
51:59Undefeated!
52:07I will never forget this moment.
52:09I will never forget this dance.
52:10I will never forget this team.
52:12I will never forget this season.
52:13So many people have worked so hard to help get you here,
52:17but you guys have worked hardest of all.
52:20Layla, I'm so proud of you.
52:22I'm really glad that I had this big opportunity,
52:25and I didn't let anybody down, I think.
52:28Layla led those girls to a national title.
52:30Seeing a student get an opportunity to shine like this,
52:33that's what teaching dance is all about.
52:36Gina, you and Mia both placed in the top 10 with solos that were definitely not your best.
52:43A lot of it had to do with some events that happened this morning,
52:46and I think that there was a lot of tension in the room.
52:48However, we should be celebrating.
52:50We won!
52:51We're undefeated!
52:52We won!
52:53We're undefeated!
52:54We won!
52:55Our group won!
52:56Let's go!
52:57We won!
52:58We won!
52:59We won!
53:00We won!
53:01I love you guys.
53:02I'm proud of you.
53:03You guys can go.
53:04Overall, it's been a hell of a day.
53:07We're national champions, but there are still some major unresolved issues with Jing and the moms.
53:14And after last week with Tammy, I want to settle this now so it doesn't build into something that is unsolvable.
53:21This was some rollercoaster, like what we just did.
53:25But how do we fix the situation that's been happening with Jing?
53:29Right now, we need to move forward and figure out what we're going to do.
53:31I agree we need to move forward.
53:33Jing, I know that you gave Gina an ultimatum, and she didn't win, so where's your head now?
53:40We don't want them to leave.
53:41We really don't.
53:42If you see something that's not true, that is a hard method.
53:47Jing, it's about Gina.
53:50It's not about you.
53:52Every mom here has to take from you quite often.
53:56But it's not about them.
53:57They're here for their kids, Jing.
53:59Gina went out and got eighth place today after all the work and time we've put into her because of you all week.
54:05You telling her, I'm going to quit the team if you don't win.
54:09What do you think that's doing to your kid and you put her in that headspace?
54:13Can we maybe just agree that we all need a break?
54:16We all need time to think.
54:18Let Gina go.
54:19Don't speak.
54:20I'm talking.
54:21Don't let Gina get on that bus thinking you're pulling her out.
54:26So you don't understand.
54:28Jing, are you going to quit, yes or no?
54:30Because mom, you said we need to move forward.
54:31So let's move forward.
54:32Jing, are you quitting, yes or no?
54:33I quit.
54:34Okay, then get out.
54:35No, get out.
54:36We need to move forward with our team that we're going to have in the future.
54:40So get out.
54:41Jing, don't do this.
54:42No, if you're going to quit, get out.
54:44No, no, no, no, no, no.
54:46Jing, please don't do that.
54:47Jing, don't leave.
54:48I think that you were a better mom than Tammy.
54:51Okay, Lee, don't ever judge a parent when you don't have children.
54:56Stop that.
54:57I might sound like I'm being harsh right now, but in my opinion, I'm making up for the damage that my mom is allowing
55:03to happen.
55:04If she wants Project X to be successful long-term, she's going to have to learn how to put her foot down.
55:10This behavior cannot keep happening.
55:12Everybody go.
55:13Everybody go.
55:14All of you leave.
55:15Jing, we'll talk about this later.
55:18I know my kid, and I know there's something much more going on than this whole thing with Jing.
55:24There's something bothering her, and I need to figure out what it is.
55:28What is wrong with you?
55:29I feel like I'm reliving last week all over again.
55:32Jing, can you please come here so we can say something?
55:36Can we just talk?
55:37Say for our children.
55:38Please.
55:39Can we just talk?
55:40Kaley, when someone has had enough, you back off.
55:44You let it be.
55:46All we said is you're too harsh on Gina.
55:49Why was that so hard for you?
55:50It's not.
55:51Why was that so hard for you?
55:52It's not.
55:53It's not so hard for me.
55:54You, it's not.
55:55You exploded.
55:56It's okay.
55:57Whatever you do.
55:58How do you look at someone who's literally on the verge of a breakdown and just continue to yell at them?
56:07It's been a hard season for me.
56:09I thought my mom brought me here to help her, but she's kind of just dismissed all of my opinions.
56:15Yes, she is my mom.
56:16I want to help her.
56:17But if she's just going to continue to shut me down, then why am I going to keep putting my own life on pause for that?
56:23I wish you would listen to me more.
56:26I wish you would listen to me more all season.
56:30It was really hard.
56:32Every time I say something, you have told me to just stop talking.
56:36Like, what did you bring me here for if not to help you?
56:40Ten wins in a row.
56:43You did not have ten wins in a row last season.
56:46I'm not saying it's only me.
56:49I came home from my ballet career, got it taken away from me, and I came straight into this.
56:57I love doing this for the kids, and I love being here for the kids, but I still have not taken time to decide what I want to do for myself.
57:06And because I have some things that I feel like I missed out on or things that I wish maybe was different,
57:14like, that doesn't take away from everything that you have done for me.
57:19Like, I know that I get frustrated at times, but I don't know what I would do if you weren't my mom.
57:26But for the first time in my life, I want to be the one to make a decision on what I choose to do.
57:35I don't know if I want to do this again.
57:41Say if you want me here or not.
57:46Of course I want you back next season.
57:48It would probably drive each other crazy again, but I wouldn't want anybody else other than you to be the one to drive me crazy.
57:54Of course there's a small part of me that really hoped she would be happy, that we would build this family business and carry on my legacy.
58:03But now that I see that she's unhappy, I see the resentment building in her.
58:08And I don't want my daughter to resent me, ever.
58:12As a mother, all you want is to see your kid happy.
58:15Kaylee needs to live her life.
58:18And whatever that is, it's all up to her now.
58:21And I have to be okay with that.
58:23Support with whatever you want to do. You know that. I always have.
58:32I don't know what the future holds for Project X.
58:35We lost our star dancer, Audrey.
58:37We might be losing Gina.
58:39And now Kaylee might not be coming back to coach.
58:42I'm terrified of what next season might look like because more than anything, I'm scared to do it alone.
