So your nationals this weekend,
it's Fearless Dance Competition.
And all I care about, you guys, this week is winning.
The group number is going to be called "Survivor."
I love that.
It's going to be a contemporary piece,
but I'm putting in a ballroom influence.
Oh, interesting.
You know, dancing is my world, but there's a certain type
of dancing that's my world.
And this is my world.
If it's [bleep]---- if it sucks, then
I look like a horrible teacher.
The girls are gonna be doing salsa, ballroom
infused Latin style dancing.
They don't know how to do any ballroom dancing.
Like-- and we're gong into nationals.
Probably not the best week to try a new style of dance.
Let's go.
Survival of the fittest.
Come on.
I think this week is a big eye opener.
Yes, it's the nationals.
We want the kids to go out.
We want them to dance.
We want them to win.
But I think that more than anything,
we wanted to prove that we could win without Abby.
Mhm.
This might be the last time some of those kids
ever compete on stage again.
Mm.
5, 6, 7, 8.
1, a 2, 3, a 4, 5, 6, sharp, stop.
You guys are not on a straight line.
1, 2, a 3, 4, 5.
Do it again.
Kalani, you missed the count.
You're the point.
So just know it.
OK?
Do it again.
I'm just in struggle city right now.
My ankle is killing me, so I have to really focus and put
my game face on because we have nationals tomorrow,
and we cannot lose.
Straighten your arms, [inaudible]..
Watch your lines.
You know, girls, like, I know I'm picky right now,
but it just looks so sloppy.
People are doing their own version of what this dance is.
We have to dance in unison.
It's nationals.
Win or lose, I want you guys to feel that you gave it your all.
[cheering]
It's weird to walk into competition
and know that this could be the last time
they ever compete on stage.
Is this really the end of this incredible journey for us?
This is nationals.
There's no other way to do this but full out, times 100.
I want you guys to be the best versions of yourself,
each and every single one of you.
I really do.
Here we are on the west coast.
Abby has left us.
And you know what?
These kids worked really hard.
This is their last dance.
This is what people are going to remember them by.
Oh my god.
Why do I--
She put us all on stage.
Wait, what's going on?
Her nose is [inaudible].
Oh, god.
Chloe, Jesus.
Put something cold on your neck.
Put that cold water bottle on your neck.
Yeah, is there an ice pack? Here.
Oh my gosh.
Why did Chloe choose right now to spontaneously bleed?
Can I have that?
Clearly she's feeling the pressure.
Are you OK?
Let me see.
The show must go on.
ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentlemen, please
give it up for "Survivor."
[applause]
[music playing]
Whoo!
[applause]
Yay!
We did it, guys.
We did it.
And our moms gave us 10's.
I know, did you see that?
Our top three groups of the day.
This is the highest scoring groups of the day.
This is nationals.
This is our last chance to win.
There's no next week.
Win now or go home losers.
Our top overall of the day goes to-- drumroll, please?
[drumroll]
Number 54, "Survivor."
[cheering]
[applause]
Irreplaceables are the west coast national champs.
Abby couldn't do that.
They were able to achieve the west coast national win.
So we have so much to thank you for.
To see all of these girls on stage
today, dancing at that level, with that conviction--
it was like we had our old daughters back.
OK, I love you guys.
Don't stop.
[crying]
I love you guys.
No, don't think about it.
I love you.
I don't want to leave.
