well alexa is definitely coming today because she's gonna do kalani's solo for this week alexa
is kalani's dance teacher from arizona we will be in phoenix and that is kalani's hometown and
she's got everybody coming so whether abby says yes or no then she's gonna do the solo
i just think kira needs to be careful you never know what you're gonna get with abby
so alex is here and she's prepared to start this all over music she picked it out she found it okay
well i didn't approve that song so yeah um what's yours what's your story just here teach my student
sign my contract she needs to be under me i don't feel comfortable inside of the contract
i cannot believe how disrespectful kyra is bringing to me right now from day one i have
treated kalani with the uh most respect kira this is really gonna tarnish our friendship
don't worry about anything focus on the solo get it done like everything's fine
focus on why we brought you here this is about kalani it is and it's about
getting her back to where she needs to be right
whenever we do your solos it's really important that we have a storyline and like for this solo i
feel like it's kind of that you're investing all this time and you feel like you're not getting
anything out of it you're doing all of this work for everybody else and what is it helping you
is this preparing you for nationals not really so it's like frustrating boom travel front
watch that timing
bigger i don't see it it's not enough tight that movement was really sloppy
think about your turnout squeeze your leg use shoulders down see i feel like i'm critiquing
like every single time it's like shoulders stomach arms plie turn out buckle like all
those details like you used to do that all the time for me like i don't understand i'm trying
to fix all the things that abby has not critiqued on you and it doesn't seem the same energy as like
when you dance at my studio alexa is right i'm not dancing the same way that i usually dance whenever
i'm in class with her all the time because alexis choreography and abby's choreography
they're both totally different things it's just lacking like you can't just do the steps
yeah she's very unsure of a lot of it you're not dancing like yourself
well you should be embarrassed okay well maybe i am because it's only you are going to make
the change exactly so just let me do it oh you've done it like five times i think you
should already have that confidence boost back when you haven't done in three months
today we're in phoenix arizona and it is hot hot hot at the competition expressions dance
competition nia are you 13 i'm 13 kenzie's 10. we're 12 exactly with her junior's 9 to 11.
this competition's teen division starts with age 12. because of kalani and nia they pulled the
average age up above 12. so if i pull one of them out then we're back in the junior division where
we belong with kalani we were entered in 9 to 11 anyway when we're clearly 12. it's basic math
oh wait she's not doing the group no why is she not doing the group cause she pulls the agent
so this is like punishment then since alexa did
her solo she's gonna be punished and be thrown out of the group not at all
she doesn't dance in that group number she won't be going back to california
you're saying that this team is gonna dance team
but she's not a teen she's not a teen she's not a teen and she's not a team
so they're not dancing teens this is her hometown her dad is flown in she has like 40 people here to
see her dance jojo should not be dancing teen just like kalani should not be dancing junior
period we all warned kyra that abby will have the last word we need her in the group for your eyes
you look like you're marking counts develop a body fee it's not like abby to bite her tongue alexa
correcting and correcting and correcting kalani and abby just kept her mouth closed
i'm just freaking around abby say it out loud i see your faith just say it
what do you kira suddenly wants my input now there's no backpedaling remember
you left your studio for a reason here is kalani with the investment
places places
in the first scene
where
spending time
investing time and time the beauty of the news
now turn to see courses collide
living in lies this is crying now
i will stand by the decision i made with bringing in alexa this week because
clearly kalani dance like i know kalani as a dancer mommy's not here we still
need to go out and dance like we never guessed before right now is entry number 68 the panic
room
oh
i thought it looked great you know our kids
nailed it they stayed focused i'm so proud of them i they're like little professionals out there
fourth place goes to entry number 22 brain mantis
what a joke come on and your highest scoring team solo the heavyweight belt champion of the world
can we get the belt out here this goes to entry number 23 the investment from any dance company
won maybe it wasn't a bad thing bringing alexa in maybe claudia doesn't need abby
moving on to our top three groups in third place
this goes to entry number 69 famous infamous from candy apples dance center
and your highest scoring group for the day
goes to entry number 68 the panic room from emily dance company
yay we finally get to bring this losing streak to an end even with all this commotion our kids
nailed it they stayed focused and beat the candy apples i'm so proud of them
they'll just go with when you're respected let's go she's we're done thank you
this is all because you're not in this group kids it's not fair to her to be giving up
everything come to her hometown and then be taken out of the group number it's not fair
she's done completely oh don't say that no no she said it she
made the choice she said it she's not doing it think about it she said it
at this point now i'm just so sick and tired of the two-faced abby you want to treat my child like
that we'll go home and we'll get training i really want you to think about i'd wanted to be fine no
she doesn't want me there so what's the point of me i don't believe that she has everything
because she's mad at you oh honey i will not work that way i won't i hate to see kalani go
and that leaves a big hole in our group teen or not teen kalani is an asset to our group
you
