welcome back to Dance Moms we're saying
goodbye to Maddie and Mackenzie because
this is their last season now you know I
already told you guys I've watched the
show since the beginning do you feel
like you've grown up on the show some of
you because I was the most shy girl you
whatever me and now not anymore by the
way I think we were just scared to speak
to Abby we would not say we're we're
just like yes he's happy even if you
didn't agree with it you just felt like
you had to say okay so what changed this
season we found a voice I know right we
were like we can't put up with this
anymore because it's not healthy either
because to keep it all in we've all
grown up Maddie you shouldn't be talking
about finding your voice cuz you don't
say anything you're just like you go yes
miss Abby yes yes miss Abby I'm sorry I
have a problem with twisting my hair I
can add you speak way more than I did we
all do well Kendall you especially found
your voice this season yes you did homie
yes you did you're not out there Kendall
so you don't like that her partner was
pulled and Nia was put in stop honey
don't stop I just feel that I'm growing
up and I'm gonna stand up to her
Kenzi how did you find out that you're
gonna be leaving the team well well
we're in pyramid my sister was like I
have to tell you something but I can't
and I was like okay well that's rude so
she's like oh yeah you're really gonna
like this I was like okay so then later
my mom got all the girls and she told
them that we were going to leave which I
didn't even know and my mom didn't want
to tell Mackenzie because she said
sometimes she's a blabbermouth I was
just really shocked cuz I knew like I
would have been there till the end cuz I
was there from the beginning yeah I was
just just you to think about our two
sisters leaving and we're not gonna be
with them every single weekend all the
memories we've been through like we've
traveled literally everywhere together
out of the country it's just crazy
well let's take a look at the moment
when the girls learned that Maddie and
Mackenzie we're gonna be leaving the
show
[Applause]
okay so Mackenzie listen cuz you don't
know this the Maddie Mackenzie and I are
going to be here for four more weeks
and then we're moving on will always be
we love you guys so much this has been
such a great ride together I love you
guys so much
that's next four weeks be so amazing
okay and I don't usually cry that much
but I've been with them for so long I've
known you guys before the show even
started I lived with them for 12 weeks
so it's like hard to see them leaving I
haven't even been here as long as you
have the only person that's been here
shorter than me is Ben but like I'm so
close to you guys especially over the
season I feel like I've gotten really
close with you guys really when we heard
the news we were obviously everyone was
really really sad but then after we did
our last group dance together like our
last competition together that's when it
really hit us because we're like we
didn't realize like wow like after this
day is the last solo well you know what
actually we actually have that so let's
take a look at that these girls and
these girls have been glorious role
models this is their mom I just want to
thank Abby for everything you've done
for my kids through the years and Gia
[Music]
and really hard to seem pretty choked up
in that you're crying now
I really couldn't talk I was too upset
to say anything so I just want to ask
one more question now how do you feel
like the team morale is now that the
girls are leaving it's gonna be weird I
mean just take a second to look down the
line you guys and stop where J is like
it's just this is the team now like you
guys will obviously always be a part of
the team but in pyramid standing there
it's just gonna be us yeah we're not
gonna be able to pyramid and it's crazy
to think that Maddie's not gonna be at
the top anymore who's gonna be
you
