ABBY LEE MILLER: The Abby Lee Dance Company is back.
This is the beginning of a brand new season.
I'm about to change the face of the Abby Lee Dance Company.
Things are not going to be the same anymore.
Now this week, we are traveling to Wheeling, West Virginia
to attend Sheer Talent.
I have a trio.
Paige, you have to cut the mustard.
Chloe, you're going to bookend Paige.
And you're both going to back up Kendall.
Thank you.
ABBY LEE MILLER: All right, girls.
We did not finish the trio.
It's typical.
Yeah, I don't know why it's not finished.
I mean, they're competing it in less than 24 hours
and they don't know it.
And they don't have a costume.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
The trio was called "Buckle Up."
So this is really fast paced choreography.
It takes a lot of energy, a lot of stamina and getting
these three to move together in perfect harmony, that
is some task.
5, 6, 7, 8, 1, 2, 3.
But I think when they get up, they need to be really hot.
They're not hot enough.
Like they're too athletic.
KELLY HYLAND: I think this number is cute.
I think the number is cute.
I think it's fast and I think their timing needs--
I think they need to work.
KELLY HYLAND: I'm just happy that Paige is in a dance.
I don't care if it's competitive or what.
I'm just happy she's going to do an extra dance on stage.
JILL VERTES: I'm happy that Kendall has
the trio with Chloe and Paige.
However, it's bittersweet because Abby's not
real fond of Chloe and Paige.
And I don't want Kendall to get stuck in that rut with them.
I want more for her.
I want her to have solos.
I think she's earned her right.
Axel, up.
Stronger arms behind you.
I-- I'm going to be selfish and say,
I'd like them to do the trio again because they
just finished the choreography.
They did the dance once the full time
through from start to finish.
They need to do it more than once.
ABBY LEE MILLER: We have one more day
before we get on the bus to the first competition
of the season.
Don't let me down.
[applause]
ABBY LEE MILLER: When we pulled up to that beautiful theater
in Wheeling, West Virginia, there was a huge crowd outside.
People were chanting my name.
It was a little crazy.
I felt like Justin Bieber for a minute.
See girls, that's what I try to tell you.
You're the Abby Lee Dance Company.
Everybody knows who you are.
They expect greatness.
So you can't be one bit less on stage today.
The pressure is on.
This is the first competition of the new season.
And every one of these girls needs to realize that I
am looking for new talent.
Don't be nervous.
Guys, we have to do this.
We can do this.
ABBY LEE MILLER: So they better prove
to me that they want to be part of the Abby Lee Dance Company.
That they want to win.

[applause]
JILL VERTES: Kendall lit up the stage, just like the star
that she is.
I can only hope that this trio scores well because Abby
will never stop punishing Kendall, unless these kids win.
ANNOUNCER: In third place, number 75, On the Edge.
I'm on the frigging edge.
ANNOUNCER: My second place in pre-teen trio,
Swing in Birdland.
Madison, Haley and Morgan.
And ladies and gentlemen, taking on overalls in preteen trio,
first place belongs to-- drum roll please.
Buckle Up with Chloe, Paige and Kendall.
ABBY LEE MILLER: I am very happy that the trio was the
first place overall high score.
