Kenzie's 10.
We're 12 exactly with her, juniors 9 to 11.
This competition's team division starts with age 12.
Because of Kalani and Nia, they pulled
the average age up above 12.
So if I pull one of them out, then
we're back in the junior division where we belong.
With Kalani, we were entered in nine to 11
anyway, when we're clearly 12.
It's basic math. - Oh, wait.
She's not doing the group?
No.
Why is she not doing the group?
So this is, like, punishment then?
Since Alexa did her solo, she's going to be punished
and be thrown out of the group. - Not at all.
You're saying that this team is going to dance teen.
But she's not a teen.
She's not a teen. She's not a teen.
And she's not a teen.
So they're not dancing teens.
This is her hometown.
Her dad has flown in.
She has, like, 40 people here to see her dacne.
JoJo should not be dancing teen, just like Kalani should
not be dancing junior, period.
We all warmed Kira that Abby will have the last word.
We need her in the group.
Kalani's not here.
We still need to go out and dance
like we never danced before.
ANNOUNCER: Taking the stage right now is entry number 68,
"The Panic Room."
[applause, cheering]

[applause, cheering]
I thought it looked great.
You know?
Our kids nailed it.
They stayed focused.
I'm so proud of them.
They're like little professionals out there.
ANNOUNCER; Moving on to our top three groups, in third place,
this goes to entry number 69, "Famous Infamous"
from Candy Apples Dance Center.
[applause]
And your highest scoring group for the day
goes to entry number 68, "The Panic Room"
from Abby Lee Dance Company.
[applause, cheering]
Yay!
We finally get to bring this losing streak to an end.
Even with all this commotion, our kids nailed it.
They stayed focused and beat the Candy Apples.
I'm so proud of them.
She's-- we're done. Thank you.
ABBY: This is all because you're not in this group dance.
KIRA: It's not fair to her to be giving up everything,
come to her hometown, and be taken out of the group number.
It's not fair.
She's done.
Completely.
KIRA: No, she said it.
She made the choice. She said it.
And she's not doing it. KIRA: She said it.
At this point now, I'm just so sick and tired
of the two-faced [bleep].
Abby, if you want to treat my child like that, we'll go home
and we'll get training.
I really want you to think about it.
I want it to be fine.
Because she's mad at your mom.
Oh, honey.
I will not work that way.
I won't.
I hate to see Kalani go.
And that leaves a big hole in our group.
Teen or not teen, Kalani is an asset to our group.
