ABBY LEE MILLER: Today I'm taking
the girls to the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, ooh.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Ooh!
I'm going to give them the tools to win.
I want the girls to actually learn
to be grave diggers so they know what they have to dig.
It's a lot.
It's a lot of work.
So in the dance routine, the shovel is our prop.
And so we're going to pass the shovel
throughout the choreography.
All right, so tell me to symbolization here.
One tradition is to put the shovel back in the Earth
because at one time you could spread diseases.
So death, they believed, was contagious.
ABBY LEE MILLER: So girls, that means
you should leave the prop out on the stage at the end,
all right?
So we have "Six Feet Underneath."
We know what you are the second you step out
on stage, masculine, strong.
It's dark.
This is a dark job but somebody has to do it.
5, 6, 7, and slow.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Nia and Camryn, hold the shovel for a second.
Brynn, you're going to run and you're
going to try to grab it and like do a pas
de chat, like Gianna said.
6, 7, and--
JILL VERTES: That looks hard.
That's does look hard.
JILL VERTES: For the holders.
HOLLY FRAZIER: Yeah.
JILL VERTES: Not the swinger.
Oh God don't drop it, wha.
Did Abby establish who was going to be lead in this piece?
No.
Well there probably will be a standout,
you know someone to do something.
But I don't know she established it.
So far Brynn is the one swinging.
Is Brynn the lead?
My greatest frustration is that there are other kids here
who could be leaders.
Why Abby can't look at other people like Nia or Kendall,
is beyond me.
JILL VERTES: Oh, It's warm here in Arizona.
ASHLEE TERRY RUMFALLO: It is.
All right so "Six Feet Underneath,"
that's how deep you go.
Brynn, I want to give you special choreography.
She's the grave robber.
You all caught her and you killed her.
And now you're dumping her into one of the graves
so that nobody else knows it.
I mean who better to bury someone
alive than the grave diggers?
Surprise, surprise, Abby gave Brynn the special part.
So what that means, is all of our kids
are going to be backup dancers to Brynn.
Par for the course.
[SPOOKY MUSIC]
WOMAN: I guess our leader is being buried
So I--
JILL VERTES: [LAUGHING],, buried alive.
Even in death, she is still the leader--
ASHLEE TERRY RUMFALLO: Is that a dig?
STACEY KETCHMAN: --of the dance.
They're killing-- it's like a mutiny.
I don't know if you're in a grave six feet
under, if you're still the leader.
Well after, but during the dance--
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
--you're getting buried, you're the lead.
ABBY LEE MILLER: We're working, sweaty,
out there working my butt off.
JILL VERTES: Abby is there a lead in this group?
ABBY LEE MILLER: It's not a lead.
It's an ensemble piece.
So we have Camryn and Nia dancing opposite each other.
We have Kendall and Kalani being bookends.
And that leaves, that leaves Brynn as the odd man out.
HOLLY FRAZIER: So does that mean that by default
she's always going to be the odd man out
and have a featured role?
Well, when another skinny little blonde pops in here,
she won't be the odd man out will she?
You know what, I'm going to buy Camryn a blonde wig
and then maybe she'll be the skinny blonde girl
that Abby goes to every time.
ABBY LEE MILLER: All right, let's go.
ANNOUNCER: Please help me welcome, "Six Feet Underneath."
[APPLAUSE]
[MUSIC - THE RIGS, "TAKE"]
