SINGER: (SINGING) Now I'm sitting on the floor
and taking what you got.
Madison's group dance assignment this week
is cabaret.
She's paired with Lexine and Asia.
It's going to be challenging with Asia.
I'm just a little concerned with Asia
just because she's younger.
To the drop.
Drop.
These moves in the cabaret routine
are very adult for Asia, but you know what, she owns it.
And Anthony didn't give her anything that she
knew she couldn't handle.
Jump, and y'all can take one, two, three, four.
Asia slipped off the stool, and the foot of the stool
hit her nose.
And immediately just runs off stage.
Just take a deep breath.
When you slip off a chair, it's fine, OK?
I know but it hit you in the nose.
(CRYING) The thing hit me in the nose,
and I, I, and then I went like that.
And--
She was more embarrassed than hurt.
I think she doesn't want to be babied
and segregated with her age because she's little.
OK, thank you.
Asia can't pick up the choreography fast,
and the chairs are too big, and we
have to go over it 1,000 times.
It's really nerve-wracking.
She's fine.
It's OK.
She's fine.
Asia just has to keep up with us.
I'm a little nervous dancing with Asia,
but I'm confident in myself.
And if anything messes up, I just keep going.
Starting us off with a jazz routine
about New York cabarets, here's Lexine, Madison, and Asia.

SINGER: Now I'm sitting on the floor and taking what you got.
You tell me you were out the door, for eight months,
yours are off.
And now you're saying that you didn't mean it.
Oh-- I want.
You tell me what you want.
Now, baby, you gotta own it.
Yeah, you gotta own it.
It looks like you just lost, and I am just getting going.
Getting going.
I'm feeling so much better, and I always took the long way.
I'm feeling so much better.
Feeling so much better.
Better.
Yeah.
[applause]
ANNOUNCER: Well, let's turn it over to the judges.
Abby, we'll start with you.
Asia, I commend you on the level of difficulty
that was in the number.
I saw your-- what was that, a double or triple leg catch
turn?
Triple.
[laughter]
Triple.
So triple.
Triple.
Madison, I thought you held this group together.
I thought that you were the glue.
I thought it worked.
Yes.
Thank you.
You're basically set up to be the star of this trio--
Right.
But you've got to get it to a place
where you're not thinking anymore.
Because you're a great dancer.
I feel like you kind of held back, like Asia
really got her leg up there.
Why is it that you weren't just cranking
it up there in that one moment?
It's about the illusion.
There is a way to crank it, and get it up there.
Just for-- it's literally two seconds.
Lexine, when you stand here before me,
you're like, this little kid, but when you dance,
you're, like, 25.
Yes.
Give it up for the judges and the dancers.
Amazing job, guys.
You can head down to the green room with your moms.
I thought the dance went well.
Obviously the judges, you know, didn't think Madison
did as strong as she could of.
So, so I don't know.
You know, I don't know.
My turns were good, Mommy.
Yeah, your turns were good.
