MAN: Right now, you're
ever group challenge dance?
Yes.
I think you know your choreographer, one of the most
intense choreographers ever.
ABBY LEE MILLER: That's right.
Today, I'm going to teach you the combination.
I'm trying to look at this as any other challenge.
But it's not like any other challenge
we've done because it's with Abby.
So I'm a little nervous going into this challenge.
All right, moms, if you'd kindly exit the stage
and take your seats.
Our very last challenge is going to be tough.
These dancers need to impress me with my own choreography,
and I expect perfection.
And reach, step.
Glissade jete.
Abby teaches choreography different than other teachers.
She actually doesn't show the movements.
She explains the movements, and she walks it through.
So you really have to be able to pick up choreography fast,
and you have to know what she's asking for.
And then rond de jambe to back attitude.
And your arms are in third.
The winner of "Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition"
has to be a well-rounded dancer.
Asia needs to show me her perfect technique.
Madison has the perfect technique, but needs to emote.
And Brianna-- well, I want to see a softer side of her.
Take what I gave you, and make it amazing.
I think they should just go one at a time.
So probably Kris, you go first.
And then you can just take Madison,
and then I'll do Asia last.
OK?
OK.
OK, you're doing Asia last so she could watch our kids.
Does she know the choreography?
I didn't mind the girls working one on one.
What I didn't like is Kristie was pretty strategical about it
that she had Asia go last.
So of course, her idea was to watch Brianna and Madison
and pick up the choreography.
Asia, come here.
Come off stage.
You're going to stand--
they're going to have each girl do it,
and then you're going to do it by yourself.
So you're going to watch Brianna,
and then you're going to watch, OK?
I'm so worried right now that Asia has 15
minutes to learn this routine.
I don't think she's going to get it in 15 minutes.
It's wasting their time.
I know.
At this stage of the game, whoever's left,
you need to be able to pick it up.
So Asia has a disadvantage.
Cue the music.
[music - clooney, "raise it up"]
(SINGING) Raise it up.
You've won and it's the sweetest cup.
Raise you up.
It's the eagle's wings.
It's the bell that rings.
It's the perfect part of every human heart.
To the skies above time to raise it up.
Whew.
OK, stand up.
Asia, right now, I think this choreography
is a little over your head.
I specifically made the turns doubles--
double pirouette, double compass,
single a la seconde for you.
And you still didn't nail it.
You've been sliding by in every one of these opening numbers,
making mistakes, tripping people up.
And then you get out there for your solo, and you nail it.
And you're amazing, and you're getting standing
ovations from the judges.
Pull it all together?
You could win this.
Madison, at the end of the choreography, there's a tilt.
You're piking it forward instead of being properly aligned.
Your hips need to square off at the beginning
on the grande jete downstage.
Brianna, I've been on you about the feet.
They're better.
They're getting there.
They're just not quite there yet.
In this first turn, it was turned out.
I put it on an angle so that I could see that turn out.
And you didn't press that knee back.
You didn't tuck that hip under.
However, your tilt at the end was properly aligned.
It was excellent.
So with all that said, this was one close race.
I'm going to have to go with Madison.
Congratulations, you are the winner of the challenge.
MAN: Great job, Madison.
