[MUSIC PLAYING]
Hey, guys.
Where's the rest of your team?
They'll be coming soon.
Oh, OK.
Are you dancing today, Sarah?
Sarah's not dancing today.
She's benched again.
And why is that?
Because you guys talked to another studio last week?
No, we're not hopping to another studio.
I heard you quit.
No, we didn't quit.
Sarah's just not dancing this week.
You know, after all the debacle at the last competition,
I'm just asking that you don't barge in,
you don't heckle Abby.
Did Abby ask you to tell us this?
No, nobody asked-- nobody asked.
They're just coming on their own
because they're grasping at straws to stay on the team.
OK.
They're desperate.
This is what desperate-- - Sarah's off--
--looks like.
It's not that she's off the team.
She's not dancing this week because of the chaos.
And whose fault is that?
It's not my fault.
Yeah, it is. Because--
- No, it's not-- - --all you had to do was--
- --my fault. - --say, thank you, Michelle.
And we wouldn't even be here.
No, it has nothing to do with thank you.
You're after a 12-year-old girl.
No, I'm not after her. I'm after--
We're after you--
You're after a 12-year-old girl.
--because you lied to a group of women.
You lied to a group--
Get your fingers out of my face.
No, you're not going to tell me what to do.
- Take your-- - You lied.
I'd actually say--
You lied to a group of women.
Get your fingers out of my face.
I'll do what I want with my finger.
I-- get out of my face.
You're a liar.
So--
You're a liar. You're such--
- You're not getting in my face. - --a liar.
Get out of my face.
So stay away from Abby.
Sarah wants to dance with-- - Why?
- --Abby. - Why?
She got ninth overall at the last competition.
She was awful.
You're going to call her awful?
She was awful.
She's standing right here, and you're going to call her awful.
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
Bravo.
Let's call a child awful.
Bravo.
[CHEERING]
(CHANTING) Abby!
Abby!
Listen, my issues with Abby related to dance are one issue.
When she involves my child, that's a whole nother issue.
So whatever I have to say to Abby,
I'm definitely going to say.
[CHEERING]
But because it's Nationals, I think it's best if you
stay in your dressing room--
OK, well--
--they stay in their dressing room.
--we'll see what they have to say.
Yeah, we'll see how they other moms treat us for being here.
[CHEERING]
There goes your team again.
Is she not with you again today?
Don't talk to them.
You guys go.
I'm dealing with this.
I came and I told them to stay away from Abby,
to stay out of the dressing room.
That's the only reason I came. [INTERPOSING VOICES]
- I'm not staying. - Which--
I'm leaving.
She's not our boss.
She is not our boss.
So she's not telling us what to do.
You know what?
You're mad because they beat you.
I'm not mad.
That last dance that won didn't even
showcase half of their talent.
You should really take the high road
and not come after our kids.
We don't go after your kids or your studio.
You're doing it too!
I'm-- I'm not doing anything.
You're doing it too.
I'm not doing anything.
Don't act like holier-than-thou.
You're doing it too. - I'm not doing anything.
Go. Go.
I'm dealing with them.
Go. I'm dealing with them.
Go.
I'm glad you're dealing with them.
Go.
She's just asking us nicely to stay out of your dressing room
to benefit her because she's so desperate because Sarah's
not dancing today.
I said, stay away from Abby.
We're here to dance.
It's Nationals.
We have a few groups.
We're going to have fun with it.
We hope you guys dance amazing too.
(CHANTING) Abby!
Abby!
You guys go get ready.
I'm not coming. - [INAUDIBLE].
Good luck.
Have a great day.
Thank you.
Thank you, Michelle.
(CHANTING) Abby!
Abby!
They're leaving Michelle and Sarah once again.
So--
Michelle, take the high road.
I am.
I'm leaving.
Good luck, guys.
Thank you.
It sucks that Sarah didn't get to dance.
She went through all kinds of valleys
and tried to climb up many hills.
And here we are, on the sidelines and just watching.
And it's hard.
But I believe that every season has a reason.
And Sarah will be a better dancer
and stronger because of everything
that she has endured.
No matter, I think, what life throws at her,
she's going to be able to grab onto those things
and remember moments at the ALDC.
And she'll be able to save those tears for her pillows.
Good morning, Miss Abby.
Good morning.
Abby, did you see Studio 19?
Let it go.
Ignore it.
We have teams coming after us, especially at Nationals.
This is not the place to cause chaos.
I am here to make stars.
I don't want the kids worrying about that other dance
studio or any of this nonsense.
Focus on your routine.
And dance like winners.
This is it.
This is Nationals.
There's a lot of people gunning for us.
But we've worked hard all season long
towards a victory at Nationals.
And today, that's what we're doing.
[CHEERING]
[MUSIC PLAYING]
ABBY: (WHISPERING) Hi.
[SIRENS WAILING]
Yeah.
Nobody is going to verbally assault
me at a dance competition.
My only choice was to remove myself
from a situation that could escalate to something more.
I'm putting a stop to this.
[CHEERING]
Yay!
Woohoo!
Oh, it's so good!
I think you guys went out there
and did a fantastic job today.
But the moms had to cheer extra hard because Abby left.
Abby missed all the solos.
I don't know.
Right now, she's filing a police report.
So maybe, when she's done filing that, maybe she'll come back.
Hey, guys.
Oh, look who's back.
I will not be screamed at.
I will not be yelled at.
She got in my face, spit in my face.
I said, that's it.
I'm not doing this anymore.
This is crossing a line.
I had to go to the police station
and fill out a report to keep that other dance
studio away from my team.
I will do whatever it takes to help the ALDC
win that national title.
