This week we are going to Riverside, California
to attend New York Dance Experience.
You will do a hip-hop routine in the competition this weekend.
[CHEERING]
No formation yet.
We're just gonna start with the moves.
So go no way, like that.
Boom, boom, bring it up.
Yeah, just make sure you put, like, extra swag on it.
Make this nice and low.
Boom, boom.
Boom.
Bow, bow.
Maddie and Kenzie's last number, Abby's
not even teaching it.
She doesn't care.
Aren't you kind of glad that you're not going to have
to deal with that anymore?
Yeah, you know you are.
We'll have to hear it, but she won't have to hear of it.
I think that Abby should be involved in choreographing
this week's group dance.
This is the last group dance with Maddie and Mackenzie.
Why isn't she doing it?
And most importantly, why isn't Melissa saying
anything to Abby about this?
The final walk, Melissa.
[CHEERING]
Hey.
It means we're in mourning.
We're in mourning for what we're about to lose.
Yeah.
Our funeral.
How is everybody?
Melissa, how you doing?
I'm good.
You good?
You relishing in the moment?
I think she's ecstatic.
No, I cried.
I was crying down there.
Oh, stop.
I will say, this week has been a weird week for me,
because you have been, in some way,
very much in denial that they're leaving.
Melissa just wants everything to be happy.
And it's really hard for some people
to process the closure of what it means to move on.
Our elite team will never be the same anymore.
Girls, this will be the last time [CLEARS THROAT] that I
work with Maddie and Mackenzie.
Well, It's kind of like when you graduate from high school,
and you're off to something-- maybe
not better, maybe not bigger.
You never know what your future holds.
Small group, hip-hop, number 128.
"Boss Ladies."
[APPLAUSE]
This is Maddie and Mackenzie's last performance with our team.
And we've got a lot of cards stacked against us right now.
If we lose this week, it is going to be devastating for us.
[MUSIC - PHOTRONIQUE FEAT.
SHARI SHORT, "WE ON TOP"]
(SINGING) Put your hands up in the air.
Put your hands up in the air.
Put your hands hands up in the air.
Put your hands up in the air.
I turn nothing into something.
I work hard, then I play.
I be chilling, but I'm business.
Call me boss lady.
Don't be jealous of my hustle, 'cause I'm killing all day.
I be my muscles.
I don't care what they say.
See the watch.
See the Benz.
I can spend my money.
So much dough, so much bread, I could have a bakery.
Watch out, I'm in my zone.
Hand me the microphone.
They say when in Rome--
yep.
Me and my crew, although we made it, we on top, we keep
on pushing, bars are raising.
We don't stop.
No one can replicate the magic that we unlock,
'cause we on top.
Put your hands up in the air.
We on top.
Put your hands up in the air.
We on top.
Me and my crew, although we made it, we on top,
we keep on pushing.
Bars are raising.
We don't stop.
No one can replicate the magic that we unlock.
'Cause we on top.
We on top.
Hands up in the air.
Put your hands up in the air.
Put your hands up in the hair.
Put your hands up in the air.
We on top.
[APPLAUSE]
Good job, girls!
Woo!
I did it!
Oh, my god!
That was so fun!
Are you guys ready for some awards now?
Right?
I mean, that's why we're here, right?
This has been a really long, amazing journey with the ALDC
Junior Elite team.
And to think this is our last awards ceremony?
I don't want Maddie and Mackenzie
to leave on a low note.
I want them to leave as champions.
Top senior group of the day--
it goes out to--
128, "Boss Lady."
[APPLAUSE]
This is exactly how I wanted to end my whole experience
on the team.
I ended it with a bang.
It's great.
I wanted to win, and it happened.
So it was just a great day.
