The group routine--
this routine is based on a movie entitled "The Help."
There's a real big message here.
I want everybody acting.
This week we're talking about a little bit of history.
The movie is about the Deep South and the housewives
and their help.
I want these girls to realize that people in America
did struggle.
I want to give power to the women that were the help.
So it's about the change in the times, change in the way
people look at other people.
We have maids.
We have socialites.
Leave the story up to me.
Yeah, that just makes me very nervous.
Can you really convey the sensitivity
of a complex issue like that without making a mockery of it?
Well, we'll see.
So who's playing which different roles?
Holly, you know I typecast.
Nia, there will be one moment where the statement you make
is the point of the whole story.
So if this routine doesn't win, that pressure
is on your shoulders.
You better be perfect.
Hello.
Hi.
Look who's here.
For this routine, I need a sixth dancer,
so I'm bringing Daviana back in.
Maybe I should have kept her.
Maybe it's Camryn I should have sent home.
I don't really know, and I want to give
the kid one more chance.
Nia, Camryn, Daviana, you are the help.
We're trying to prove here in this story
that everyone is equal, and there
comes a time where Nia's role tells the story of I'm
not doing this anymore.
Nia has to convey the voice of people who didn't
have a voice at that time.
She has to command the emotion of this piece,
and I think that's an enormous weight for Nia
to have on her shoulders.
Five, six, Nia, go.
You're still not giving it to me, what the direction is.
The end of the dance is the most important part
of the dance, and that's basically me
standing up to the socialites, taking off my apron,
and saying, I'm done.
So if this doesn't win, it's going to be my fault,
which is a lot of pressure.
All right, girls, we need to go, but listen to me.
I don't know what's going to happen here.
We don't have a great [inaudible] in Fresno,
but I'll tell you what.
You don't act as the character, if you don't portray the role
and get the message across, what was it all for?
We've got to go.
We're going.
