ABBY LEE: This week,
is inspired by the new movie, "The Huntsman, Winter's War."
Now, this is important that we get this right
because it's a huge film.
Well, we have the Fire Queen, which will be played by Maddie,
and the Ice Queen, played by cold-hearted snake
over there, Mackenzie.
You're the sisters.
You're dueling.
You fight to the end.
I've done some pretty cool things before.
But "The Huntsman, Winter's War" is up there.
And I'm super excited because I've always wanted
to battle her in a dance.
Everyone knows that I'm the winner.
ABBY LEE: All right, so we have the blue.
We have the Ice Queen, your queen, Freya.
Got it?
And then, Maddie, you are Queen Ravenna, like revenge.
Yes?
So let's see what we can do here.
Let's do it.
Go ahead.
I want to see you fight to the death.
The group dance this week is inspired by the movie,
"The Huntsman, Winter's War."
It is really important this week that Abby comes
up with something amazing.
This is what catapulted Maddie to the sky.
I mean, this is how Sia saw her.
This is important.
We came to LA so our kids could be seen.
You never know who's going to be out there watching.
You never know.
ABBY LEE: All right, this is a really big week for us.
This is Fierce National Dance Competition.
And we don't really do too well there.
We have a group routine that-- the stars of the movie
are going to see this.
Chris Hemsworth is going to see this routine.
This piece can't not win.
[cheering]
Girls?
OK, everyone listen to me.
It's going to be an amazing number if you can
go pull out the acting skills.
Let's go.
[applause]
JOJO: You guys, this a big deal.
MADDIE: This is a group dance, and we're going to be great.
This is a Universal movie. This is--
MADDIE: Yeah, it's really cool.
We have to play each other sides,
like, really fight against each other, and make it clean.
All right, 1, 2, 3, 4. 1, 2, 3, 4.
1, 2, 3, 4. 1, 2, 3, 4.
[inaudible] 5, 6, 7, 8.
Kiss, kiss.
[inaudible]
All right, we got this.
ANNOUNCER: Act number 66, entitled "Winter's War."
[music - halsey, "castle"]
(SINGING) Sick of all these people talking.
Sick of all this noise.
I'm tired of all these cameras flashing.
Sick of being poised.
Now my neck is open wide, begging for a fist around it.
Already choking on my pride, so there's no use crying about it.
They've got the kingdom locked up.
And there's an old man sitting on the throne
that's saying I should probably keep my pretty mouth shut.
Straight for the castle.

[applause]
Yeah, girls!
Woo!
HOLLY: I loved the dance.
There is nothing more that we could have asked them to do.
They were terrific.
I just wish there wasn't a pile of blue fabric on the floor
because that was a little distracting.
Were the costumes enough to make a difference?
Was it a make-or-break moment?
Possibly.
[applause, cheering]
ANNOUNCER: OK, the top groups of the entire day.
In second place, we have act number 66, "Winter's War."
[applause, cheering]
Our group dance doesn't win for the second week in a row.
I think it's a blow to everybody's morale.
WOMAN: It was the crappiest timing
it could have possibly been.
We have not had a costume malfunction in years.
When it comes down to everything is good
and we have costume pieces falling off,
that could have been where we lost points.
