The name of the competition this week
is called "Queen for a Day" by Diva Time.
Camryn is doing to solo this week.
Ooh, Camryn.
I started dancing when I was five years old.
Dancing is my life, so being captain
is everything I'm working on to make
sure I get to that position.
Camryn has a solo this week.
She is performing a jazz lyrical routine.
I've been waiting on her to step outside the box
and do something a little bit different.
From the time they call your name and you walk out there,
my name is Camryn.
I represent the Dancing Dolls.
Thank you.
I'm serious.
You getter, girl. Walk.
It's a lot of pressure, because I
got to make sure that I do a great job
and I could help the team win.
[music playing]
MISS D: Bap-bap!
I'm having Camryn rehearse her solo in front of everybody
because I need for her to get used to dancing in front
of a crowd, dancing in front of her peers,
and I want to see those facial expressions,
that energy, and that personality
shine through in her routine.
It's placing her in a whole other comfort zone
that she's going to have to get used to if she
wants to be a captain.
CAMRYN: My solo, it was pretty hard for me to do it
from the squad, because I know, like, OK, eh, I kind of
got a few of the parts that I needed
to work on kind of right, but I know I still
need to work on some parts.
KAYLA: I think she did good.
I'm fixing to graduate in a year.
I know, when I leave, I want her to be the captain.
Them other girls not going to uphold
the captain responsibility like I know Cammy will.
Whatever it is, this, snaps, I want
you to get there and do that.
And then when you got to stop, poker face.
When you make mistakes, it's all over your face.
And you know I've been watching you long enough
to know when you make mistakes.
But looking at you, as a judge, if I was to watch,
I'd say, oh, that was a mistake.
Oh, that was a mistake there.
But y'all think it was good?
Yeah.
Girl, what's wrong?
[music playing]
What's wrong?
Why you fixing to cry?
Sometimes, I feel like I put too much pressure on myself,
because I know all things can't be perfect,
but at the same time, I was crying
because it's just a few parts that I could've done better.
You nervous?
Then what's wrong?
You doing good.
I was thinking that Camryn shocked herself, because she
didn't realize that she was actually
good at what she really is.
[music playing] Yeah, go Camryn!
CAMRYN: I was so nervous.
What if I mess up?
What if something goes wrong?
What if I just fall?
Do your best.
Remember to smile, energy, attitude, personality
on the floor.
You got it.
My strategy for getting the girls ready to perform,
it's done on a case-by-case basis.
And in Camryn's situation, I want
her to be excited and pumped.
I don't want to give her a whole big motivational speech.
I just wanted her to be in her own zone
and just kind of do her thing.
Camryn walks out there to take the floor,
and she walked out there with so much confidence.
[MUSIC - PHOTRONIQUE, "DARE YOU TO LOVE"]
PHOTRONIQUE: (SINGING) Stand up.
Don't let them keep you down.
MISS D: Yeah, Cammy!
PHOTRONIQUE: (SINGING) Wake up, it's all in your hands
right now. - Woo!
MIMI: I got emotional.
I started crying, because I know how she used to be--
in this little shell, wouldn't come out, wouldn't talk,
wouldn't anything.
And to see her come out there, swinging her arms and her hips,
I felt like then this chick here going to be unstoppable.
PHOTRONIQUE: (SINGING) I dare you to love.
Let the fire ignite.
Put out the darkness with your light.
I dare you to love.

CAMRYN: At the end of my solo, it
felt amazing, because the crowd was cheering for me
and I did a great job.
And I just--
I'm just glad I did it.
In creative dance, we had first place, Dancing Dolls.
Ah! Dancing Dolls, baby!
You did good, Camryn. Did good.
I didn't cry. I was good.
I was strong. - She cried.
No, I didn't.
- She cried. - No, I didn't.
She was standing right beside me.
You did good. [inaudible]
I was glad she was given the opportunity.
I thank Ms. D for the opportunity to do it,
and she did it!
That was a proud mommy moment.
That was a proud--
