ABBY LEE MILLER: This is Serena.
And this is Jayden.
So the number is certainly a tribute to Muhammad Ali.
[ding]
[crowd cheering]
Why doesn't she turn?
It's you three and you three.
WOMAN: Yeah, this dance is a--
WOMAN: (WHISPERING) Oh, god, this is so slow.
It's painful.
WOMAN: I don't know if it's the song or--
WOMAN: It's really bad.
Like horrible.
1, 2, 3, 4.
More acting.
Come on!
Be afraid of your partner!
[ding]
It's boring.
You guys are making it boring.
I don't think the problem has anything
to do with my choreography.
They have to work harder.
And if the girls hold back or they think it's dumb,
and they don't want to do it, they're not going to win.
WOMAN: Yesterday when you guys were doing your group dance--
Oh, oh, that steamed me up.
--I mean, I don't think that dance
really showcases any of you.
Oh, Kira's all in.
The choreography you guys will learn today
and did with the commercial, is that something
we could put on stage?
[music playing]
WOMAN: Eric, can we ask you a quick question.
ERIC: Sure.
We're in a little bit of a situation
here with our group dance tomorrow.
Is there any way we could use that tomorrow?
You guys need to clear that with her,
and I would be OK with them using what they've
already learned with me.
WOMAN: Hello.
How are you?
ABBY LEE MILLER: Good, good, good.
How's it going?
You would be really proud.
The girls look amazing.
Do you want to get out of their way and let them finish?
We have a proposition for you.
So here is the problem with tomorrow.
The girls are not happy with the choreography
that they're doing.
We talked to Eric, and we love this choreography.
He has to get the OK from you.
As long as you're OK with it, that's the plan.
He's happy to do it.
We have those two girls from your studio
who don't know this choreography,
and we wanted to know if we could use some of the boys
to make it really dynamic.
Perfect. Yay.
I don't care.
Do whatever you want.
How dare you?
I've had it with all of these women.
I really went out of my way to get
the girls in the commercial, and this is
how they show their gratitude?
Jill, you're going to regret this.
WOMAN: How are you?
GIRL: Hello.
WOMAN: Did Abby tell you the time to come?
Yes.
Yeah, OK.
OK.
She called those two moms and told them what
time to come to competition.
She's just mad that we went against her.
She invited them here to cause extra drama.
Listen, we would never leave you out,
but we don't want to put that boxing number on stage.
It does nothing for them as dancers.
So just wondering, if they sat back, and watched what our kids
had put together yesterday, and learned pieces of it
without having to learn the whole thing--
Well, they are certainly able to learn choreography quickly.
So.
OK.
WOMAN: Abby needs to approve the boys dancing, and she won't.
That's not true.
He just said it.
Sir, didn't I tell you to let them dance?
No, you did not. I'm sorry.
Yes, I did.
I went right back there and I said, it's all fine.
If we're playing by the rules, which I explained to you
in the back, if you tell me that it's
OK to let those boys perform--
I said they can dance.
And you-- you're telling me right--
I said 100 times they could dance.
100%?
WOMAN: Great, thank you.
WOMAN: Thank you.
ANNOUNCER: Next up, Small Group Hip-Hop number 101,
"The Champ."
[hip-hop music playing]
[cheers and applause]
GIRL: (CRYING) I'm sorry.
GIRL: No, don't be.
GIRL: Dude, have you ever learned a dance in one day
and actually, like, competed and performed it?
Actually, not even one day. GIRL: Exactly.
- Like two hours. - Two hours.
Yeah.
ANNOUNCER: All right, here come the overall Junior Group
for "Black Dog."
Come on up!
Wow.
GIRL: It does hurt knowing that Abby isn't as invested
as she should be anymore.
Like, I'm not playing these games anymore, where you just
want us here because we're going to help you,
but you're not going to help us back.
