it's weird without kyra it's really weird are we sure she's not showing up
i just talked to her and she's not showing up this week the ldc returns from phoenix victorious
but also down a team member we're wondering if kira and kalani will ever show back
up to the aldc and we're not sure it's clear in our minds as moms that we want kieran kalani
here kalani she's a great dancer i loved working with her but she just had an amazing opportunity
and she walked out on it it's time to move on this week we're on the street the candy apples are
here again and they're going to come back with a vengeance we're traveling to escondido california
and we are attending the new york dance experience now this is actually our countdown to nationals
now the name of the group routine is don't fence me in we're using a big prop in this
number a barbed wire fence oh chain-link fence and they have to throw their bodies up against it so
well i'm excited to see it okay let's go let's go
okay listen because here's what we're gonna need to do you guys you're fenced in to this
prison uh field mackenzie you're gonna do a three-step turn into an aerial walk-over
yes okay so knee up to the center get low now can you run up their back
she doesn't have do you need to hold her hand you got to go fast fast outside
reach reach reach reach through reach oh my gosh this is catastrophe written all over
abby is really invested in this group number i think it's great and i think it's about time
however with a big prop like this it lends itself to injury and this could be a disaster
i think every one of us except you thought she was coming back did you think she was coming back
oh my god is this kyra holy oh i'm going to move away oh boy oh boy
welcome back this is not good for you this is not good
i feel bad you know here really did come back he actually did told you
abby is not going to be happy about this
let's run the group routine come on in it's not in this group dance it's already
way too involved there's no way i get that kalani missed a day and that all the girls
worked yesterday i i understand that but i also understand that a lot of people miss days and
still get put in the group number a daddy has well she does because she's doing a job that
was pre-approved not because you stormed out and said i quit no i mean you cannot compare
what maddie does to you leaving with kalani i want kalani back on the team but the fact of
the matter is kira needs to get back into abby's good graces and the only way to do that is to know
what battles are the big ones to fight what battle she has to walk away from i'm gonna go
abby i'm coming to talk to you i know you're probably busy right and you're supposed to be
above it and then when you hinge backwards you're beneath it but i think you should look up hi
can you put her in the group number no but she literally had the worst day yesterday and i'm
telling you this because she loves you well i love your kid too but i i think you don't
always make the right choices she says i'm a dancer i'm not a singer i'm not anything else
i'm a dancer and she knows that kalani's here and she wants to dance for you will you give her a
chance i would love to have pilani dance that's not a problem the problem is that we are in the
middle of the number all the choreography on the fence all the time that's all been worked out
i get it but abby if anyone can do it it would be you if you wanted to put her in the number you
could put her in the number but i already did the work kira that's the thing it's not about your kid
it's just about throwing another kid in we've done the work we have worked our butts off the thing
is is kalani's here she wants to dance no this is ridiculous set you're out a group dance for a week
sorry yeah you're not in it get over it don't jeopardize everyone else for you i understand
this is not selfish and i'm not and i never have been because if i was selfish i certainly
wouldn't be here because this is about quantity no it's not about klein it's not about colony
that's where you're wrong it's not about kalani it's about a group of five other little girls
no i don't have to work harder because your kid made a dumb mistake or you did
so you're asking all of us you're asking us to bend over backwards take one up
for your kid and i'm not doing it anymore kalani is not in the dance she is not in his
group dance period stop begging for it getting her more agitated and working her up and being
like you got to put in systemic matters worse it's gonna make it worse move on move on move on
have a brain and walk away while i'm on the phone be respectful of that i will god
that's never good i mean why did she come back
now abby's all wound up i quit all right see you girls everybody's finished for the day
the kids need to work on this yes why does everybody have to get punished
because kira came back great and abby didn't want her right this is the kids have to dance
you went in and you started my nappy and the kids
it's not fair to punish the kids because you decided to leave it's not fair to
the children the children are the ones that always get hurt
oh dear one more day before competition yeah we're in batching
i just wanted to say that i don't think it's a good idea for me to be in the group dance
because they're literally competing tomorrow and i just don't think that's fair to them
or even fair to me like learning a dance in one day i mean think about it three days is rough one
day would be even worse one and not only that but it's one short day it's two hours you're
talking kenzie the night before you went to a competition that's okay though like i feel like
when you're older this is your way of bowing out gracefully without making a scene that's very i
don't want to i don't want to have to like make a big scene out of everything it's not
you're a good girl honey i'd rather just them do the group and i'll watch and i'll support
them and then it'll all be good instead of just chaos happening like it did yesterday
i think that's probably the smartest thing that's not your fault yeah all that chaos had nothing to
do no this one's not yet i would just rather just like be on the deal and just like come
to competition and have fun and not have to worry about because i feel like even if i did learn the
dance today it'd probably be even worse for me because she'd be yelling at me the entire time
like you must have done one thing and you wanted to be in the group so like it's just much easier
yeah i get it well long story short for us we want to support your decision so whatever your
decision is like we want to be able to back you up right i want to be in the group like
every other week but i just think like this week isn't a good idea because competition's tomorrow
it's 12 o'clock and we end up two so maybe adding me in the group isn't living because that's just
not worth it pick and choose your battles yes pick and choose your battles you wanna see
group i would love to see the group wouldn't you guys love to see it okay come on let's go
make that attitude bigger in the back
mackenzie you're supposed to be standing on their backs with your head through that
standing not kneeling
that has to be higher push yourself up your foot up mckenzie it's not impressing me you're getting
out of prison you're breaking out you're dismissed you did your time what what i
can't tell playing sweet is easy for you this is another level you need to go to a darker place
the group dance is a hot mess we might as well hand that first place trophy to the candy apples
because it's not going to be us this week we're going to dance expressions and our girls are
competing against the bdas better known as the candy apples before i'm not really sure
what they are right now kalani's not in the group cause abby's all pissed off after the way we left
last time it's ridiculous we're going up against bda and we cannot lose to them without kalani
good luck with that abby next up is small group lyrical number 502 run run
so
it's getting dark i'm losing my way you're left with the cold wind
than is
yearning for something new
i don't wanna run away
breaking of dawn cold on the ground grasping at hold that start
i see now that you are
i don't wanna run away
this group dance is amazing this is actually
nationals material i'm nervous next up is number 603 don't fence me
this is
would you shame me i'm so sick
me
can you blame me could you shame me
is
the group dance was spectacular they really acted like hoodlums
the overall group the judges had a tough one with this one the second place scored 295 points
i didn't think the girls were going to win this week i really did after seeing both of the dances
but do i agree with the judge's decision
absolutely
you
