we have one more week and we're going to nationals i don't think you're in the physical condition
you need to be in i don't think you're in the mental condition that you need to be in
you're not ready do you think it's because of the move to la i mean that's the biggest change i can
see i think it's their priorities after you've won four nationals that's not the goal anymore i don't
think anyone wants to go to nationals and not win i mean no matter how many years you've gone
you can talk about oh we want to go to nationals oh yeah we want to do this oh yeah we want to win
show me we have two soloists going head-to-head to see who's going to perform at nationals
kawani you will be doing a contemporary piece the title is
shades of gray nia you are doing a jazz slime
you are shading everyone else with two simple words
bye felicia
by the end of this week it will be determined who is performing a solo at nationals kalani
i think everybody in this room knows that you can walk on stage and win
i don't think abby's envisioning by felicia to be a competitive dance
like kalani's contemporary solo but if this is for a solo at nationals i want you to do such a
great job but bye felicia it leaves everyone and all lonnie and mia are going head-to-head for a
chance at nationals museum on this competition team from the very beginning and has yet to have
us all at nationals so this is a big deal for nia she wants and i think deserves a soul at nationals
that's not all mia has gone on this week nia also shooting her second music video and this
is a duet with coco jones it's their song sleigh you see for the first time when you guys are
in your character feeling yourself let's start with claps though mikey minden has created this
elaborate vision for this video sleigh the premise is that you go into a beauty salon and give all
walks of life there everyone's included everyone gets to be a part of this experience and everyone
gets to feel beautiful at the end of the day and that celebrates just the beauty of including
everyone who doesn't deserve to feel good and beautiful about themselves look who's here
i'm really happy to see jojo right now because it just makes me happy that someone from my team
is here supporting me and actually going to be in my video five six having fun
our girls are so crazy those crazy girls there is so much excitement and positive
energy this is an exceptional experience for nia because she has someone who cares
about who she is as she's become a young woman with a voice in the music industry
girls let's go this is for a solo at nationals and you've never had one and i want you to really
go for it like go on stage and play it i know abby's expecting kalani to win but never count out
mia when she puts her heart soul and confidence into something she can rise to the occasion
all right best wishes to both of you break a leg who's doing solo at nationals who's not we'll see
that's all we know you gotta show me what you got and we can start
you only live
