So we are doing a group ballet routine.
The name of the routine is "The Red Bow."
It is inspired by the movie "The Red Violin."
Now, the story is the man who created these violins.
His wife died in childbirth.
That's a very traumatic way to die.
He painted the violin red with his wife's blood.
Ew.
It's morbid.
It will be technique, technique, technique.
There is a right and there is a wrong in ballet.
So everyone needs to be on their A game.
We are turning the group over to Daniel.
Oh, yay, they love Daniel.
I know that the moms think this ballet routine is
punishment, but with one week left in Los Angeles and two
weeks till nationals, I think all of the girls
need to make sure that they have the technique, because it's
still all about the win.
1, 2, 1, 2.
So what we're going to do is we're
going to teach this combo.
And then together, all of us, we're going to figure out
what bits we want to accent.
Yeah?
One of these things-- ball change,
run, kick, and then chasse, jump to it.
You two go and play with some ideas with the bow.
OK.
Oh, look, Kalani has the bow.
Why did she pick ballet?
We were not happy with the dance
last week, so what a great way to shut us up?
I'll let you have a dance all to yourselves.
And ballet, let's see how you deal with that.
We're just about there.
- 10 minutes maybe? - 10 minutes?
Cool. - Yeah.
OK. - So everybody needs to leave.
Oh, I'm so excited.
I can't stand it!
Today is my day of my music video shoot
for "Where Would I Be Without You?"
And I wanted all of my friends to be
a part of the music video, because it's
basically about them.
And it also talks about the journey
that we've been on together, and so it's crazy to see
how far we've come together.
You guys are going to have to practice
your number at some point.
If we get there tomorrow and our group dance is awful,
Abby's going to kill us.
No, you don't take the blame.
I will take the blame.
OK.
Here, let me hold the phone.
Who has the music?
Today's Kendall's day, but tomorrow's a new day.
We have a competition to win.
Plus Abby has that whole studio to herself with those minis.
That's all she's ever wanted, so I just helped her get there.
All right, girls, we're going out there.
We're doing a ballet routine.
We are trying to get six for six wins in a row,
and ballet is right or wrong.
They're going to know what an arabesque is.
So, let's hit our positions.
Be clean, be precise, yes?
All right, let's go.
ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentlemen, please help me welcome
entry number 87, "The Red Bow."
[applause]
[music playing]
[applause]
Our top groups of the day--
for our second and first place, there was less than a half
a point between these two, which means it was real close.
Second place, entry number 38, "Uptown Funk."
And our first place group of the day entry number
87, "The Red Bow."
Thank goodness!
That was a close one.
All right, let everyone know which dance studio you're with.
TOGETHER: Abby Lee Dance Company!
ANNOUNCER: Congratulations to you, girls.
They won.
Thank goodness.
Going back to Pittsburgh next week,
I wanted to walk in a winner.
I want to head to nationals with a team of winners.
You know, the east coast is tough.
Those dancers, they're out for blood.
And everybody is going to be after the ALDC.
