This is our last week before we go to LA.
Maddie is not here.
She is in New York City rehearsing
for "Saturday Night Live."
OK, so this week, we are going to World
Class Talent Experience.
And since it's in Ohio, we know those rotten apples
are going to be there again.
Now the group routine, Maddie is not here,
so I hate to do a contemporary or lyrical
without her being present.
The style of this routine is jazz funk or
reminiscent of the Spice Girls. Hurry up.
Keep going. Chin up.
Chin up.
Their faces don't change enough.
This is a perfect example of the type of routines they need
to know to compete in LA where everybody
is better and more fierce.
And I need 100% energy if we're going to beat Kathy.
If we want to win and we're going up against Kathy,
we do what we do best.
I don't know a tribute to Spice Girls is good enough to win.
Who knows the Spice Girls the best, like, their characters.
Baby, Ginger, Sporty, Scary, and Posh.
Who am I? Like, what do I do?
Because I"m just Ginger.
I just have red hair.
What's with that?
Why, I think she was ginger, she had red hair,
but she was feisty and spunky.
She was gorgeous, like when we looked her up.
She was like a firecracker redhead, like look at me.
Look at Jojo.
[interposing voices]
She had like a fierce attitude.
This dance is fun and high energy.
And it's everything they need to get into LA.
I think it'll help them get in the zone, too.
OK, girls.
Maddie's not with you.
We're going against everybody in Ohio.
Then you also have the Wicked Witch of the West.
Those people know they have good dancers, some of them
better than you, than you, than you, than you, maybe even you.
Last week was our trial and error.
There's no room for error this week.
We have to go out there and just kill it.
This group dance is the last group dance before we go to LA.
So we need to go out with a bang.
We can do this without Maddie.
Even though she's a part of our team
and she's one of our team members,
we can win without her.
ANNOUNCER: Please welcome to the stage,
from the Abby Lee Dance Company, "Tell Me What You Want."
(SINGING) Your heart keeps skipping a beat.
Where did the party go?
Blown sky high, impossible to find.
You can listen.
Where did the party go?
Foot stompin' so keep it rockin', watching
as a prayer make you sing and makes your body slide.
Hey, Bupee.
No, yeah, they're with me.
Yeah.
All of them.
Let's get it started in the party.
[inaudible]
[cheers]
We had nothing to worry about.
They were amazing.
Good enough to win.
ANNOUNCER: Next up is act number 111.
Please welcome from the Candy Apples
Dance Center, "Stand Up."
(SINGING) Come together another part.
Think of what it means to you.
Don't want a slip or two.
So stand up, stand up.
[cheers]
That dance looks familiar.
And I recognized some of those moves.
But they were great.
And that's not good for us.
ANNOUNCER: Moving forward into the advance
team small group category.
[inaudible] goes to act number 112, "Tell Me What You Want."
And our first around the team small group
category goes to act number 111, "Stand Up."
If there's one thing I hate more than coming in second,
it's coming in second to the rotten apples.
And this is not the way I intended to return to LA.
ANNOUNCER: And the studio makes it loud.
Candy Apples Dance Center!
