ABBY: This is not the first time I've
had these moms walk out on me.
But guess what?
I don't care because they're quitters.
Abby, do you want to work with the girls?
Sure.
We're ready.
Two little ones, let's go.
We are going to Riverside, California,
to attend Devotion to Dance.
You're doing a solo.
It's contemporary.
It has some tricks.
I think we're going to call it Blue Moon.
The story is that you're back and you're here,
and you're dancing like a teenager, right?
And you are doing a musical theater routine.
Again, it does have tricks.
And it's called TKO, or The Knockout.
And they better be amazing
Lilly, on the floor, let's go.
Ba-dum, there you go.
Push, ball, change, step, leap.
I'm glad that Abby is back.
Right now my daughter has a solo.
And that's more dancing she's done in one day
than she did in the last three weeks of being here.
My kid's in here becoming a better dancer.
Your kids are outside getting a sunburn.
And flick, step, flick step, turn, turn, turn.
It does honestly feel kind of sad
that the older girls are gone.
But I'm super, super, super excited
that Ms. Abby is back because I love Ms. Abby so much.
And this week my solo is called TKO,
which stands for The Knockout.
Make it bigger, bigger--
bigger, bigger.
Right.
That's better.
I feel like the pressure is really on Lilly.
Like, she's expecting her to go out there and win just
like she expects Kalani to.
Oh, come on.
Yolanda, you are so jealous that Abby is banking
on Lilly beating your daughter.
You know what?
No, I'm really happy with Ellie's solo.
The fact that there's just these kids competing this week
just intensifies the rivalry even more.
ABBY: Head up, chin up.
Don't look at the back.
Left leg higher on the straddle.
Front foot, get it.
I do miss the older girls.
But this is awesome because I love having all the attention
to ourselves because it definitely gives us a better
chance of being cleaner and better with our dances,
and winning.
Lilly, you are doing Blue Moon.
You're doing contemporary.
The older girls aren't here.
So I gave you one of their dances.
Elliana, TKO, The Knockout.
You better knock those judges out.
Those other kids need to realize I don't need them.
They need me.
Let's go.
Let's do this.
ANNOUNCER: Next up, number 34, Blue Moon.
[music playing]
Good job.
That was very good.
- What do think? - It's good.
Pretty well.
Yeah, she's like, this big doing contemporary.
ANNOUNCER: Moving on, we'll move to number 36, TKO.
[MUSIC - LJ NACHSIN, "KNOCK ME OUT"] But
if if you think I'm ready to fall, well,
baby, you don't know me at all.
You knock me out, but the battle has just begun.
Badabing, badaboom.
And I'm out.
We have the overall high scores for solo, duo, trio.
ABBY: At this particular competition,
they take all the solos of every age.
And whoever has the highest score wins this award.
Everybody else goes home with nothing.
One of them better win.
So the overall high score for solos, duos, and trios
goes to--
enter number 34, Blue Moon.
ABBY: Woo-hoo.
Lilly's solo, Blue Moon, was amazing.
I'm just so proud of her.
I feel like Abby gave her this massive challenge,
and she conquered it.
That should prove to Abby that we
can go on without the older girls
and that there's a new Kalani in town.
