Let's talk a little bit about our ninth victory in a row.
We are undefeated.
[APPLAUSE]
Number 77, Riches to Rags.
[CHEERING, APPLAUSE]
Nine is fine, but then again, there's 10.
We're going for our 10th victory in a row.
Never before has the Abby Lee Dance
Company had 10 straight wins.
These girls better bring me the win.
This week, we will be traveling to Toledo,
Ohio, to attend In10sity Dance Competition.
And you all know what Ohio means--
Rotten Apples.
We're going to have to see that woman again.
We're trying to be undefeated 10 times in a row.
Can you imagine what your life's going to be
like if you don't beat her?
You'll all be doing a group routine.
It's entitled, "Red With Envy."
Now, Mackenzie, it's a mature piece.
So you're going to join us for the choreography,
but I think you could maybe miss this dance.
[MUSIC - JIVA, "WHITE WASHED HEART"]
(SINGING) Silence can be so cruel.
I laugh for the words I can't find.
ABBY: This routine is a contemporary piece.
It's strong.
It's athletic.
The lines are sharp and angular.
Everybody needs to be on their toes.
We are going against Cathy for our 10th victory in a row.
And I'm going to make her red with envy.
She can corkscrew down, but she needs to, like,
slide out of it.
I'm assuming Abby is bringing Fallon in to beat Kendall.
I think she's bringing Fallon in to see how she's going
to do, to learn this routine--
In two days.
--in two days.
And do you think she can do it?
I believe in my daughter wholeheartedly.
I'm very determined.
I'm going to do what it's going to take, for my daughter.
We have two more days before we're
going for our 10th victory in a row up against scum.
Got it?
I don't want to lose.
You know what?
I am going to take a phone call.
Abby is not going to give you anything.
All of these kids have had to earn their space--
blood, sweat, tears-- not only theirs, but ours as well.
We have all done that.
Oh, hey.
Hey.
I'm sorry.
I know that Fallon's here and I invited you to come here,
but right now, I'm wishing that Claudine was here.
Why?
Because she's a much stronger dancer than your daughter,
and she's gorgeous.
So you're calling my daughter ugly and weak.
No, you said that, not me.
I'm just saying that I don't think
Fallon is helping the team.
I think she may hurt the team.
She's doing a phenomenal job for how little
she has been in the thing.
I just don't know that.
But when she gets out on stage, she's a different kid.
Nobody knows that, and nobody cares.
When she steps out on the stage with those kids, with my kids,
all eyes are going to be on her, because she's
the new kid on the block, and nobody knows who she is.
She deserves a shot, a chance.
You've had her for two days.
That's it.
Are you crying?
I'm upset!
You're insulting my daughter!
I'm insulting you!
It's embarrassing.
[TENSE MUSIC]
And arms up.
And chainés, reach.
I may do something that I've never done before.
With Fallon's disastrous solo, this might be
my chance to finally beat ALDC.
I want to see the kids go upstairs and practice.
Perfect.
OK?
On their own.
And I just think that we need to talk about a couple of things
before we go do this.
OK, so listen, everybody, I want to see
their dance before our dance.
You want to see Abby's dance?
I want to see Abby's dance before our dance.
I want to see what she's bringing.
I don't want to take the dance if it's not complete precision.
I'm tired of having second-best--
But I don't want to teach the kids to say,
if you're not going to win and you're going to take second,
then don't dance.
What does that teach them?
Well, not to play Abby's game, but I
am going to make the decision, and I am going
to call the shots on this one.
Girls!
You have done nine wins in a row.
Will this be 10?
Do you have what it takes?
Fallon, you can't be a beat behind.
You can do it.
Go.
All right, ladies and gentlemen.
Moving ahead just a little bit in our program
to entry number 47, in the junior small group division--
this is entitled, "Red With Envy."
[APPLAUSE, CHEERING]
[MUSIC - JIVA, "WHITE WASHED HEART"]
(SINGING) Silence can be so cruel.
I laugh for the words I can't find.
You left it behind like the last broken glass on the floor.
And I'm aching to be free from these riddles
and from these monsters of rage for something
above this creation.
Your white-washed heart.
All the saints and their angels couldn't
save this soul from sinking, estranged and bereft
of innocence.
Oh, oh.
In the mirror is a forgery of someone that I used to be.
As heaven falls under your feet, I try to smile,
as forever goes out of style.
Yeah.
[VOCALIZING]
[CHEERING, APPLAUSE]
After Fallon's solo, I thought,
there is no way this child is going to make
it through this group routine.
But she did.
She hung in there.
They were outstanding.
The number was excellent.
Come on.
Bring on the applesauce.
Good job, guys.
Thank you.
OK, so, guys, listen to me.
I know that you guys love this dance.
And I know that you've worked hard.
But ultimately, it is my decision.
We're waiting for Cathy's kids to come on, and we're waiting,
and we're waiting. - Let's go.
Let's go.
On with the show. Let's go.
Let's go. - And nothing's happening.
I don't feel like this dance is ready.
We're going to have to get back in the studio the
following week and work it out.
Guys, don't cry.
Don't cry.
Rather than risk the loss, she threw in the towel.
OK, Cathy.
Not only are you a bad dance teacher, you're a coward.
So winning first overall in our elite junior small group
division of competition--
is act number 47, "Red With Envy."
[CHEERING, APPLAUSE]
Congratulations, ladies.
On the count of three, the name of your studio--
1, 2, 3.
Abby Lee Dance Company!
The kids win.
They come out on top.
They nailed it.
I think ours would have beat Cathy, anyway.
Come on, girls!
[ALL CHEERING]
1, 2, 3--
ALL: We are Abby Lee!
4, 5, 6!
ALL: You should see our kicks!
7 and 8!
ALL: We are really great!
9 and 10!
ALL: We just won again!
[ALL CHEERING]
Perfect 10.
We did it.
The Abby Lee Dance Company won our 10th straight victory
in a row.
Ready for another week?
We can celebrate, but you know what?
You have dance class on Monday.
And remember, you signed up for this.
