this week we will be attending star power in woodbridge virginia this is
the largest dance competition in the united states i'm excited about the group dance i've
been preparing it for weeks mackenzie you proved that you're not a little baby anymore you must be
advanced enough to be in the group dance you'll be expected to do what everyone else does yes brooke
this weekend is my first formal school dance and i was wondering if i would be able to go to it
i think if i was in your position i would probably be making a different decision
however if you have decided that this is something you want to do barbie it for me to keep you from
it you will not be in the group number this week you will not be joining us on the trip i want
brooke to go to her eighth grade farewell dance because i want brooke to be a normal kid mm-hmm
no god um kelly's asked me to go dress shopping with her and brooke you want to try this one
i like it when we get to do fun things with our girls and it's not very often that that happens
all right brooke fashion
it's pretty but it might be a little big i think color's beautiful with your dark hair
it's not my favorite oh i love that dress look how beautiful the dress is gorgeous that's pretty
oh it looks like a costume
you like that one i like this one she's crying
that would be hard i don't want you to go without me
this is her first big event and i'm gonna miss it because of a dance competition
the group number for this week is called the huntress it's an inspiration
from the hunger games children killing each other to survive obviously i'm going to replace brook
maddie i want you to go get peyton i don't understand why we need another
person abby just wants to make this statement that everybody's replaceable
i think all the moms are concerned about peyton being in the group there has been rumors going
around the studio that she's bullying everybody she pushed paige a couple weeks ago and knocked
her down and thought nothing of it hayden is going to be the huntress you all will be dinner
we only have four days to perfect a complicated number with a member
of the group who doesn't dance with this group every week it's a challenge what's that sad news
the first day we show up at the studio i am really leery to tell abby that peyton heard her finger
the night before during rehearsals i'm thinking about that medal digging into every little girl's
side and then she's gonna have to suck it up she has to take it off she'll take it off
go get ready get warmed up i'm happy to be back and peyton is really happy to be back i'll deal
with these dance moms and take whatever they dish out as long as peyton gets this opportunity
to dance with this group melissa said last night that she's been bullying maddie a lot
how is she bullying her she kept telling her you're doing that wrong you're doing that wrong
move on you're in my way that's bullying and being mean telling somebody that they're not
doing it right is not bowling melissa really just can't give me examples of what she did
you told christie and not me listen shut your face don't talk about my daughter i don't care if you
don't like me because guess what i don't like you either no one wants you here leslie well guess
what i'm here guess what we know and the truth hurts and you can't handle it run you're fighting
for your country run i was feeling very confident about the routine then the next day they come
in and they look ridiculous like we didn't even work on anything i'm like girls get it together
so peyton how's the finger okay can i hear it good
no it's not good it's gonna hurt for two minutes and 30 seconds and then used to get
an ice get the splint back on and continue to heal my finger hurts a lot but i need to
dance through the pain and i need to do my best i need to show abby that i'm a good team player
abby does weird well the weirder the better and i think the huntress is one more chalk on her board
i can see peyton cringing a little bit with her hurt finger i'm hoping that she'll be
able to suck it up and get the job done so these mothers have nothing to say negative about her
mackenzie misses getting on peyton's back my first thought is
it was like oh abby's gonna freak on her
in your mind
i won't do it for you
that was supposed to be four turns four turns
peyton you're 14 years old you should be doing eight turns
one tenth of a point separates first and second place second place entry number one 69 the
huntress from the abbey league dance company abby hates being second she said second is the first to
lose or i said that i would rather you get tenth place than lose by a tenth of a point you know
second a tenth of a point how does everyone feel they did how do you think that
do you want me to be nice and sweet and i can kiss all of you and tell you you were wonderful
or do you want the truth the truth i just would like for you to work and to want to be first
