CROWD: (CHANTING) Chloe!
Chloe!
[cheering]
ABBY LEE MILLER: So here we are, my final open call
audition in New York City, home of the Great White Way.
I have sent many a kid here to become a Broadway star.
Hi. [screaming]
Hi, girls.
Hello. Hi.
How you doing?
ABBY LEE MILLER: Seeing all these kids here
is really exciting.
I am giving them the opportunity of a lifetime
to become a member of the brand new Junior
League competition team. Let's go.
You ready?
CHRISTI: The girls don't know the dance.
ABBY LEE MILLER: What can't you do?
You can't do a tour jete?
CHRISTI: No, what I'm saying is, before you
took the other girls to demonstrate,
you taught them the combo.
You didn't have them learn it out there
with the rest of the kids.
They were demonstrators.
ABBY LEE MILLER: So what do you want me to do?
I want you to teach the kids before they go out there.
KELLY: I think it's embarrassing that you want to send
your kids out not knowing it.
I think it's embarrassing that they're wearing my clothes.
I brought stuff to change.
Would you like them to change?
Take it off.
CHRISTI: You can take yours off, too.
Now, right there, that is wanting
those kids to look stupid by not teaching them the routine.
ABBY LEE MILLER: All right!
Let's go!
[cheering]
You're not replaceable.
You're irreplaceable.
- What? - And who cares?
You want to be replaced anyway.
So hope she finds somebody as amazing as you.
It's ridiculous.
We bring our kids to dance class for extracurricular activity,
and they're scared.
ABBY LEE MILLER: Back up!
Spread apart!
Arms in second!
We're here with you.
Don't be scared. Don't cry.
Don't be scared.
Anybody holding a title?
I have dancers from all over the USA trying out here today.
And the talent is overwhelming.
Up, down, down, jete, You, 628, you're fabulous.
Come sit over there.
I'm seeing straight legs, pointed
feet, beautiful posture.
But no dancer is ever perfect, especially if they
haven't taken class from me.
And bring it down-- five, six, seven, and eight.
Finish.
All right.
[applause]
You are being kept.
Go stand with them.
All right, overall, I am spoiled to have
this many kids who want to be part
of the Abby Lee Dance Company.
She's exquisite.
I've been trying to build a team of Maddies for years.
And now I'm gonna do it.
1622, you quit in the middle.
I don't need quitters.
Kelly quits every year.
And this new team will be unstoppable.
626, find a new dance studio, sweetheart, a really good one.
What was the issue?
That's what I would like to know.
The feet and the right shoulder.
From what I saw, Paige, her a la secondes were horrendous.
No offense or anything.
She does 10 times better a la secondes than
what Paige--Paige can't even--
Paige, come on out here.
Come on back, 625.
[applause]
Five, six, seven, and out, up, down,
down, and one, two, three.
[cheering]
KELLY: Good job, Paige!
ABBY LEE MILLER: Thank you very much.
You can go.
Take no, and go home gracefully.
You're embarrassing yourself.
Turn around.
You know what Abby always says?
She can talk about her dancers, but nobody else can.
[cheering] ABBY LEE MILLER: Go.
CHRISTI: See ya later.
[laughs]
Right now, some of you will be interviewed.
Some of you won't.
If you don't have what it takes to be a part of the Abby
Lee Dance Company, let me know.
Because you are taking a spot away from somebody else.
Based on the talent.
I saw, I have tons of stars out there
to build a whole new team, or maybe two of them.
Do these moms realize that their kids might just be replaced?
[cheering]
ABBY LEE MILLER: You wanna run and hug me?
