[cheers and applause]
Hey.
Thank you, everybody.
Thanks for coming out today.
This is an audition.
The Abby Lee Dance Company is looking for replacements.
The time has come.
Lazy slugs need to go.
[cheers and applause]
Spread apart.
Hurry up, hurry up, let's go, let's go, let's go.
We're in Atlanta for my second round of auditions.
Melissa and Holly are here to help me.
Now, we have a great turnout.
There's tons of kids here.
And I'm looking for the best possible replacements.
I'm looking for kids with high kicks,
overstretched splits, great flexibility.
And they've got to have the look.
Stop.
The girl with the bad haircut, get out here.
Whose parent is this?
You are limiting her marketability.
You are limiting the job she can get with the look.
Yes.
MELISSA: Our kids are all-American girls.
They don't color their hair.
They don't crimp their hair.
And you know, they follow the rules.
I don't know if she would do that.
One, two, three, four.
Red shorts in the back, right split,
left split, straddle split mandatory, dancer.
Yes?
Go.
16, that's not a front split. Goodbye.
900, go.
406, goodbye, honey.
Thank you for coming.
Don't call me.
I'll call you.
The games have just begun.
And face front.
23, great outfit.
You're going home.
26, too advanced for you.
425, went the wrong direction.
202, 405, 201, you are a hot mess.
Thank you all, ladies.
You can go.
What's this little one's name here?
003? I loved you.
You were great until you screwed up that whole dance
and changed directions.
Get down here.
There are so many kids to go through.
Some of these kids are just incredible talents,
but they might not be right for my team.
There's going to be a lot of broken hearts here today.
Wait, wait, where are you going?
How old are you?
11?
I have nines 11.
WOMAN: Give her a second chance!
Give her a second chance!
[cheers and applause]
In the back.
[cheers and applause]
I am appalled at the behavior from the people
attending this audition.
I mean, if you can't even keep your mouth shut
while your kid's auditioning, why would I ever bring
you back to Pittsburgh with me?
All right!
Listen up.
I have given second chance after second chance
after second chance.
This is it.
We're moving on.
You get cut, take it like a professional,
walk out, and learn from it.
I don't want this chaos.
There aren't any more second chances here.
If you're cut, you're cut.
If you're asked to go, go.
409, it's time to go.
17, goodbye.
I've managed to whittle out the weak.
Now I have the best of the best in Atlanta.
Once I finish my open-call auditions in three cities,
then I'll make my final decision.
Two down, one to go.
Congratulations, you did it.
Now we'll see who's coming to Pittsburgh.
