Erin has recommended our solo choreographer for the week,
and his name is Will Johnson.
I actually have seen his work before,
and he does amazing contemporary.
So I'd be an idiot to not have him do
a contemporary solo for Brynn.
Brynn, you're going to be the first.
Your title's going to be Left Cycle.
And just about, like, the monotonous kind
of quality that you can kind of have in your life
becomes negative over time.
So it's your choice as, like, a dancer and as a human
to get out of that and leave that stuff
that feels like it's not so progressive for you behind you.
And then, can continue forward from that.
So your solo will be kind of revolving around that.
Cool. Here you go.

(SINGING) It's just another one of those days.
WILL: Show the effort, Brynn.
2, 3, 4, go.
5, 6, 7.
More body.
1.
Watching Brynn work with Will, I'm seeing
Brynn do real contemporary.
And she hasn't had a chance to do real contemporary
because Abby has pigeonholed her as a lyrical dancer.
Brynn needs to nail this solo so she can show
all the talent that she has.
To show that she does a lot more than Abby has asked from her.
I would dare Abby to criticize this solo.
And I would dare Abby to do better.
Yes.
Woo, love it.
So unique.
That is so contemporary.
You guys know that Abby is going to be critiquing
your every move out there.
And that's OK.
And you shouldn't care about what
she says because at the end of the day,
this is what you guys love.
You guys are dancing the way you should be dancing.
You're showcasing your true talents right now.
It's time.
All right, let's go.
ANNOUNCER: Judges, next up, we will
go with number 80, Left Cycle.
Now that we left Abby and we're not on the same team
today, I really want to remind her why she put me on the team
in the first place.
She needs to grow up a little bit.
I mean, why would we want to go back?
That's the question.
[MUSIC - TONY LEE STAFFORD JR & MICHAEL DENNIS SMITH,
"DON'T TRY"]
(SINGING) It's just another one of those days.
One of those days that keeps me crying.
I'm just another one of your games.
Just one of your games, 'cause I can't be.
So don't try 'cause I'm better off as one.
One plus one isn't always better then myself plus none.
So don't try to play me like a fool.

Dancing pre-teen solo.
Brynn is an amazing dancer.
But this season, she hasn't gotten a chance to showcase
very much of her talent at all.
She has got to prove to herself, and Abby, and the team
that she is the winning soloist on this team.
Second place, dance number 26, Shape Of My Heart.
[applause]
First place in the pre-teen solo category goes
down to number 80, Left Cycle.
[applause]
I think that she did amazing with what was on her plate
this week.
And I think doing a solo this hard and that short of time,
and it looked that good on stage,
there are not a lot of kids that can do that.
