you may have to face many defeats but you will not be defeated mia
was amazing you are a monstrosity of evil she's not that swift how dare you you are a liar
abby she is the only person on this team at nationals and our first overall team solo is
mia has a lot of confidence and i think mia has a lot of ability and talent
my goal for nia this year is really for nia to grow as a dancer i expect nia this season
to have an amazing year and dance ideally we would love for her to have a title win
this is my crown but i just bought it because i had to have one i haven't won one in dance you
haven't won it yet but it's coming right yeah it's coming give me something you're like at a funeral
mia's name is screamed out constantly yeah boom help it's in a nasty barking way it's really neat
as a teacher we give them the tools we do our job it's up to them to go out in the world and use
them i disagree with if i need a wiper butt all the way there that's ridiculous it's vicious at
times and i'm not asking you to wipe her butt i'm asking you to do your job when you talk to maddie
and you're giving her corrections you're not barking at her and yelling at wrong how many times
i tell you this time and time again you don't talk to her that way because i have to tell her once i
don't know what holly's problem is this week but she said to me you're just barking orders at her
you're just barking at her which was like calling me a dog which i do not appreciate thank you
okay here you are yes just checking in to see if everything's okay between us because it doesn't
sound like yes the parents were required to be here today here i think moms who don't work
probably have a more flexible schedule but you know that i work but i cannot if you cared then
you want to speak your opinion you'd be here at the meetings i can't believe this is starting
already again abby let's not go there once again you need to be here i feel right now that i care
more about me as success than you do no well your husband was here he walked right in the
door why didn't he stay abby if you my dad even took me to the mother-daughter talk about getting
your period my dad took me because my mother was at work oh my god she's talking about a period
what the hell does that have to do with anything oh but i want to kill myself
figure it out because you know what the kid needs somebody she's not that swift how dare
you she's not that's how she is she needs you to be here she needs people to take notes
here because you have a doctorate and everybody
else is your problem abby you were intimidated by me because i died
abby maintains the moms will decide who gets the fourth solo
but we all know who has the final decision when it comes to any dancing at the abbey dance company
okay we're gonna start with jill i picked kendall i'm sorry to me a no-brainer
i obviously pick chloe she's been with you since she was two years old i think chloe has been a
team player for a long time paulie i would say mia i really enjoyed watching her perform the piece
all right so we have a three-way tie so melissa you get to break the tie oh my god i think that
nia should get this opportunity because she goes 100 and she has shown us that she can do different
based on that performance you would put mia on that stage and i'm not saying you wouldn't
but i'm not just to base it on that foreign so rest it's not fair it's just not fair oh my gosh
it's a solo jill well that's right you relax holly
then relax i'm not dealing with this anymore because it's ludicrous absolutely ludicrous
to leave abruptly like that's not very professional or reliable and we left we didn't
really leave we were just in your parking lot and you have given us you love me you can go by
yourself that's fine yeah but you know when i sent her by herself last season you grilled me to no
end and i was not only finished but done well done i think she's immature and i think she needs to
grow up a little bit you didn't walk in her shoes when she couldn't walk and she was in a wheelchair
are we on this feet thing again we are because that's who she is she doesn't use that to defund
her she doesn't use it as a crutch but every now and then she does have pain which is real
but there's no injury it's real i'm about this far from pulling the duet no she needs to do do i have
to prove to you that she's capable of dancing and dancing well through pain i know but your mouth is
ugly woman you are a monstrosity of evil you want to talk about ugliness you're done you're done no
do it whatever i'm a monstrosity of evil yes you show you evil that's your name and reputation yeah
evil monstrosity i got it during the dance concert each one of you will be performing this 45 second
audition for a solo at nationals never had a solo at nationals maybe this is your year so sometimes
abby just picks her favorite you may have faced many defeats but you will not be defeated i'm
more determined than ever to show abby that i'm ready to do a solo at nationals you are all vying
for a chance to compete at nationals this is the last chance you get to show abby you have earned
a place this 45 second solo is really important to me i've never had a solo at nationals before
and it would mean a lot to me if i did are you guys nervous for 45 seconds i'm a little nervous
because you know sometimes abby doesn't pick like the best dancer she just picks like whoever she
wants to pick you know i'm worried about who abby's going to choose because she's making
the decision and there's no other judges so even if you did the best she might not even pick you
i speak to maya goodbye want our best shot at winning to be out on that stage
i don't think the moms are gonna like my critiques but i don't really care i'm the dance teacher and
i know what it's gonna take to win at nationals the critiques from abby the chances of her doing a
solo at nationals are pretty zero to none it just makes me sad i know it doesn't take away anything
that you did last week told your mother in the audience what did i look at you and say i said you
did the best i did i know that i don't count and i know i'm not nationals that doesn't take anything
away from you chin up and you go out there and you do better than you ever could have imagined right
all right last week competition failure why are you blaming the kids when you were absent all week
so you still don't have an answer as to why you were not there i don't know you in an explanation
you do if i wasn't there just guess it was a darn good reason and if it's a darn good reason
why could you share brianna was there if i'm not there i'll send somebody abby is not doing her job
what she did last week was wrong abby ruined nia's audition she took the character in a different
direction which was her mother you by taking away our opportunity so if that makes you feel good
so be it trying to protect your child and make her not look like a complete fool go back and look at
your pictures of your personality when you were a baby before she made the mini-me others may not
hold abby accountable for our behavior but i do and i am not going to let abby off the hook that
was mean-spirited what you said you gave her an opportunity you took it away she's the only girl
on this team that you ever take something away from the only one and let it not go unnoticed
that's kind of we'll see it that's kind of a bold face lie no because whenever there are dances who
pulls the dance when does it do it you always pull before nia i've done nothing girls you
can go in the other room and you can dance no i am not gonna have this woman stand here and lie
about what she said i refuse to be in a room with this woman who's lying good my integrity
is worth more you're a shallow nasty well i'm not leaving the team so if that's what
she wants i'm not your near christie and i'm not your new kelly and nia is not brooke paige
or chloe okay so you get your act together and you stop telling lies you are a liar an absolute
liar and you sit there and all of you women stand here and you're cowards i didn't i wasn't
let those yeah stand here and lie
i am sick and tired of it i'm sick and i cannot take this anymore
not only do i deserve better as that little girl deserves better
she's a vicious and nasty foul woman none of those other mothers said a single word it let that woman
tear my kid apart last week and he did the same thing today that woman is insane she's crazy
solos i assumed that that solo would go to kalani i think it should go to nia no it was head to head
it's been had that was a challenge the entire time i agree with that but i think in this instance i
don't agree because it was a competition judged by kids as kalani's mom i do feel that it was
not a fair battle as far as a kid judging last week we weren't dismissing it when we knew we
were going into the competition regardless i think honestly abby actually i think that you're going
way out of you've still planning you don't get money you're sitting here telling me that i'm
taking away your child and i just said i'm not abby honestly she is the only person on this team
mia is ecstatic she finally gets on solo at nationals in the team division we're coming
off a huge week for nia she had the production of a music video for our second song sleigh
she got first place at a dance competition she'd beat kalani which is a huge victory coming into
nationals going into this week we have to hunker down there's a lot of work to be done and abby's
not here to do any of it this is your first solo at nationals ever yep called no matter what
so you're going for this no matter what no matter what goes on no matter what happens go work on it
i'm gonna fight no matter what the song is a beautiful summary
of nia's journey this year this is a perfect solo for mia every day
no matter what
yeah when that music skipped 30 seconds of her solo was cut out but despite that mia was amazing
second place
no matter what nia i am ecstatic that me i got second place in dean solo
next we have mia i'm gonna pull this off too because kalani you were also gonna do out with nia
i think you both could have been stronger now kalani you were a little more african than new
abby i would not go there i will say both girls were great maybe i was shocked to see you do
this i think that i think that might be your issue where it makes sense for you to do this
why because she's had three weeks of it this summer no because she's african-american she
looks the party what does that have to do with anything african-american does not mean we come
from the continent of africa we're americans this is ridiculous i think you've lost your mind anyone
here who was watching that dance which you were not cause you didn't show up to do your job nia
i'm not trying to be offensive what i'm trying to say is that i want you to work harder
i want you to be the best that you can possibly be and i don't think you've even
touched on that yet that is like so inappropriate as history has proven abby's
really impulsive and she never takes ownership of what she says anyway the next solo i'm giving
reagan the reason why i chose reagan to do a solo is because her technique is on
point and all i care about you guys this week is winning but you're bringing reagan in as a guest
this week and you're going to give her a solo over chloe and nia her technique is better
i'm always in the back like i know that i know that like i've told time after time my
technique is like the worst in the group don't like i know that but it's just hard because like
i've been here for legit seven years like i've never missed a competition i've felt like i've
put in so much and honestly but you got the duet last week kalani didn't well yeah but that didn't
win so we're trying new things we want to win i've taken time out of my life to be here for
your girls and i've grown to love them so much i really have but i know what it takes to win
and if that means tough love that's what it means so you guys it's nationals week are you excited
so your nationals this weekend is in lawndale it's fearless dance competition and all i
care about you guys this week is winning so if i call you up just step forward please
nia
chloe
kalani
you three have solos
you are the original you've come so far and i feel that this is your time to shine so
you need to go out there and prove that look at me like i can do a mature routine i think mia
was probably affected the most as far as dance reputation goes because of abby
think about all of her solos and like i should never have been on stage competing mostly it
was like she was out to like prove that she shouldn't be dancing or something absolutely
so you're in like up here like think like you're almost like going across like a wall uh-huh nice
reach
mia has been here the longest out of everyone however mia has only done one solo by nationals
and to be honest with you it was pretty negative experience and so i just hope it's enough for
a win there's enormous pressure on mia right now mia has a solo where she feels like she's a mature
dancer this is not just a solo at nationals this is like a lifeline this is an opportunity for her
to break free of the bondage that abby had her wrapped up in and believe that she's a great
dancer
besides
and our first overall teen solo is number 23 i need no one
first place overall at nationals prowl doesn't even begin to describe the feeling
i have right now i'm beyond proud me has always been the underdog and so walking off
the stage as a national championship winner is a dream come true for nia
you
