we are doing a group routine called
pretty
reckless kalani you're turning 16.
sweet 16. that's a big birthday it's a
milestone
so this is about driving a car
driving a car recklessly
all right girls listen up connie you're
driving the car
it gets out of control
now you guys are the responsible ones
you don't want to be a part of this
and then you
eventually
go off the ash
pretty reckless is a very serious
subject matter
and that's why the minis aren't here
this week i put daviana and cameron into
the routine
because they are mature dancers if this
number wins
those two might have permanent spots on
my dream team
and over up back front
over up drop it's a little bit eerie it
is it is
and abby loves dark pieces like this
even if it's not supposed to be dark
well it goes dark last week and this was
having
a mature piece something that's
age-appropriate that acknowledges that
they are growing up they're they're not
little girls like you couldn't have a
mini doing this dance
the fact that the minis aren't here
these teenagers can do
really creative stuff we don't need
those minis
we need mature themes mature dancing
the sky is the limit with this group i
really hope abby sees it i really do
look at her
watch the broken rest on second this
week is a very important week for kalani
she's turning
16. and what do most 16 year olds think
about
a car so i've arranged a little surprise
for kalani
an early birthday present

rager over this is my dream car

choreographed this week
everybody feeling wonderful vivi how are
you feeling that you're the star dancer
perfect love your enthusiasm
oh is this the abby levi oh my god
look at that uh-oh we're passing the
candy apples
look how dirty their windows are just
like her studio
it feels like a drag race can you drag
face up buses
[Applause]
maybe that's their intent can you run
them off the road up here
is mulholland drive close by melanie
moon them
no i'll do it i got the biggest butt
here move out of the way
no do it no
classy ladies keep it classy
[Music]
[Applause]
oh
[Applause]
look at those stupid stupid kids chasing
after that bus
[Applause]
oh here comes the pied piper
she does this every freaking time she
runs past
because she knows she knows that she's
going to get shut down
all right ladies listen my journey with
abby has been for several years
she is a belligerent know-it-all
and she's a witch with awful droopy
boobs and i hate her
[Laughter]
uh actually what i would like to do is
go find out what the big bag of wind is
up to
and black patsy you're going with me
i want to go in to see abby because i
want her to be rattled
and i want to get under her skin and i'm
going to bring black patsy because i
know that she is going to have my back
do good guys all right line up
the best way
to shut that witch up is for you to go
out there
and be far superior dancers than she's
ever had
i didn't come here today to get beat
from some nobody
hi honey i don't know what this woman's
on
but honey she does not belong in this
dressing room with these children
she is completely utterly out of line
i want you to go that way go that way
this is a game to you this is not a game
to these children
why don't you be quiet
why are you in this room get out of here
you're not welcome here
leave us alone get out you need to go
with me
you don't move me get out of here
oh my gosh really it's like deja vu get
out of my face do not walk up on the
abby daddy get your
finger out of my face don't get out of
my room
go walk up please sleep dude

shenanigans and the silliness

[Music]
nakaya solo was beyond breathtaking
and now the group dance is going to be a
beautiful lyrical piece
and vivi's going to be the star of this
she is going to secure a win

it was a strong performance and was
pretty i'm nervous
because this is a very complicated
narrative that abby has set up
and i hope this group dance blows her
away
and makes her sure that this is the
dream team and then she'll forget about
the minis
