today we're having pyramid at abby's new studio i'm excited to see what progress has been made
this weekend we are attending the leave national talent competition we love the league they're
critiquing the routines live on stage the group routine we're doing a 50s inspired musical theater
piece that's going to be great oh i love that we did it well the name of the piece is dance box
five six this tempo one two three four five five six seven eight it's important when
you're training dancers that they learn all the fad dances throughout history kalani you can be
in a broadway show that takes place in the 50s come on give me something the girls are getting
great at picking up choreography but picking up choreography is not the same as training we want
to be able to do both and also take advantage of why we came to la it shouldn't be an either or
well our kids aren't training every other dancer in the nation is passing them up passing them up
they're getting better and we're getting worse yep you're getting surpassed i know someone who
has worked with abby in the past tessandra worked with kalani on abby's competition show she was
a choreographer on so you think you can dance america's got talent american idol and x factor
strain your knees on that
jojo your feet were flexed on the side area um you need to learn how to
prepare for a garage tape properly and lay in the garage tape properly moms what we're gonna do is
put a little show on for you now i have been in here working choreographing making changes
hi abby how are you
i wanted to stop and say hi and also no idea who you are happy's ultimate dance competition
i'm sorry give me your name again tessandra it's so embarrassing right now to be so disrespectful
so rude to a guest who came in to help our girls kira kalani's mom called me and asked me to do a
class for the girls while they're in la and if that's not something you want i'm not in
any way trying to disrespect you or what you've worked hard for hira she is maybe overzealous
and wants to make connections here in l.a i don't i don't know did you say i'm over jealous no zelda
jealous oh what's zealous that's over enthusiastic oh mom's i'm gonna leave i had no idea she didn't
want this to happen so i don't in any way i disrespect you i have complete integrity in
what i do and i don't want to go behind her back it's her company that she's worked hard to build
thank you thank you thank you aye aye that's okay this class was more of a private class
for the kids you know what you know what i i think we're finished you're in la you take experiences
opportunities she's pretty popular in the industry she's pretty good yeah her assistant is a dancer
for lady gaga um she works for the pulse who hires 90 of the working kids in l.a too bad
she hasn't been on a tv show for five years she just got back from london working for x factor
oh you're just over there gianna clearly no one ever said that i think you're taking it
in a negative way do you think that colonies teachers from arizona are saying alexa you're just
because your kid left you and went to a tv show no they are not alex is very proud no i think
we're done for the day you guys can rehearse with mackenzie later on tonight i think we're going to
be done for today after all i've done for these kids they're going to well some stranger in here
to teach a class that's like slapping me across the face i guarantee you abby
will have a hard time finding teachers at our new studio after treating cassandra like that
i just want to understand what's the disconnect overstepping your boundary abby we want the same
thing you want that's why you're here but we also want to have the training that will back that up
and you don't think you have the training to back that up thus far you taught us you gave us all the
supplies and the tools and everything but i think what we want now okay
enough where's the jazz teacher where's the hip-hop teacher where's the tumbling teacher
that's what we're trying to figure out it's trying to bring the pittsburgh what we have in pittsburgh
and making a balance and making everything work i don't like mommies playing dancing school
get that strength well i've done it for 14 years and that's why my child is the dancer she is
oh oh god she's she's hurting right now abby knows she's wrong what does she do starts bawling like
a baby because she knows there's no other way out abby you have all the support in this room
don't go away from me we love you oh jojo it's okay this is crossing the line abby rejected jojo
kalani and nia abby i don't know why you would ask the other girls to walk away from you because
they support you just as much it has nothing to do with what you teach and what you don't teach
don't care you guys are being ridiculous kyra don't kill you it's ridiculous don't put your
finger at me don't you dare try and make my child look like that call maddie b go to hell
go to hell your kid would rather be with any other mother here than with you stand here unless you
talk to my child like that everybody else will i will not i am so sick of that claudia let's go go
she's [ __ ] and i'm done yeah you are i'm done do not treat my child like that i want this kid
with me i don't want her with you sleeping with some guy you're not even married too no
four and a half years of success opportunities and yet i'm the bad guy about a few classes please i
don't need this peace out i don't want to have to deal with that you and you shouldn't have to deal
with it you know that abby just sometimes says things we're just here to dance and everything
turns into a big fight it's not okay that type of behavior cannot continue to happen kalani wants to
stay she wants to do the group number that kid's stronger than abby is and that's all that matters
abby and kyra have this huge drawn-out fight abby leaves the team right before the group dance
what's happening abby had no reason to push my child away so if you want to treat my child like
that we'll go home and we'll get training try my best not to make it my last but i can't promise
you anything we are moving backwards right now something needs to change i don't want you to lose
