ABBY LEE: Previously on Dance Moms...
I'm looking for the next big thing.
I want to introduce
Kim and the new Chloe.
CHRISTI: It's Chloe vs. Chloe.
ABBY LEE: I have a second.
I have a fourth with the old Chloe.
I need a first!
I was offering your daughter
the opportunity of a lifetime.
Your child was the one
Yeah, and she got
nowhere with you. She got nowhere with you.
...years and years ago.
And where did it get Brooke? Nowhere.
'Cause she had a mother that was a ***.
ABBY LEE: Coming up on Dance Moms...
ABBY LEE: I will be hosting
my third open-call audition.
(cheering)
Let's go!
(whooping)
I was not a liar.
KELLY: You lie all the time, Melissa!
And now you're having your kid lie.
Do you know that they brought Kalani to...
to dance against our kids?
KELLY: Yeah.
Yeah.
ABBY LEE: Listen!
I said, "Brooke,
"is your mother
Get your finger
Do you want to be here?
ABBY LEE: Call the police.
Right now.

♪ My world is with my girls ♪
♪ Livin' on the dance floor ♪

ABBY LEE: Let's go, ladies.
I would love to say congratulations.
I would like to be excited
about the overall high score win of the group routine.
It was the highest-scoring number of the entire event.
But I wasn't too excited
about my fourth place solo.
And my third place duet.
JILL: Abby, do you regret bringing Chloe in?
It took time away from every one of these kids.
Do you regret that? Or...
No, actually, I really enjoyed working with that young lady.
On-on our kids' time, though.
This is your ALDC, this is your name on your back.
Not hers.
Jill, are you teaching me how to run my business?
No, no, but
she didn't fit in with this team,
and, more than that, she took time away from your kids.
HOLLY: And you said you want a dancer and a dance mom
that can hit the ground running.
She didn't-- she never got
I think
it's a little off when I bring one person in.
It hasn't worked.
That's why...
I made a little decision.
I'm not bringing in one dancer
to replace one of you.
I'm looking to cast
an entire new
elite junior competition team.
Ladies, this is a reality check.
I will be forming
another team to challenge you.
They'll get to start from scratch, just like you guys did.
JILL: This is the beginning of the end.
Start a new team
that will beat the old team.
She's gonna have to start all over.
I think she's crazy for doing this.
I'm auditioning kids from all over the country now.
I know what I want.
CHRISTI: You know what, Abby?
If you want to take Maddie to dance on your
"new elite" junior team, go ahead.
Because we did a dance last year without Maddie
and we still won.
ABBY LEE: Let's get to the pyramid. Chloe.
Fourth? Not good enough.
Not for the experience that you have already had.
And next... Kendall.
I don't even care.
All right, next... we have Nia.
Why do you two think you're here?
Because we didn't win?
HOLLY: The duet came in third, which I thought
was amazing, to be honest with you.
After only 17 minutes of Abby's attention.
Ten of which she was on the phone.
Apparently Abby does not share my opinion, and Nia's
at the bottom of the pyramid.
ABBY LEE: And next... we have Mackenzie.
Mackenzie, you were in the group dance.
Did you shine like the top of the Chrysler Building?
No.
Next we have Brooke.
You were also given moments to be a star of that group.
You could have been amazing.
And we could have come up with more difficult
work to do on that chair.
Figure out what you can and cannot do,
come back and say, "You know what? I can do this--
do you like it? I can do that-- do you like it?"
That's how it works when you're 15.
And next we have Paige.
You're pretty high up on the pyramid.
And I kept going back to your look.
It wasn't about your dancing.
It wasn't about your technique.
I thought that the number was good for you.
Maybe that's where you shine.
And at the top of the pyramid...
(applause)
This week we will be going to New York City.
You will be competing at Sheer Talent.
Paige, it's been a long time.
You will be performing a solo.
The name of the solo is "Ooh-La-La."
I believe that it's just right for you.
Brooke.
You will also be performing a solo this week.
It will be a contemporary acrobatic routine.
It'd better be amazing.
Paige and Chloe, you will also be performing a duet.
The name of the duet...
Aptly titled, "Wishbone."
Some of my go-to girls for solos and duets
are competing in another competition.
So I have to rely on Paige.
I hope Kelly embraces this
as a wonderful opportunity for Paige,
instead of having a hissy fit
because Paige has too much on her plate.
And right now everybody is in the group dance,
"Beautiful Revenge."
You're all beautiful.
And I need to get some revenge in New York.
The last time I was in New York City,
I lost.
I'm taking revenge on New York City.
And I will also be hosting
my third open-call audition.
New York City.
Chloe, you're going to come to the audition.
And your mom... is gonna work, too.
Kelly.
You think you're up to helping Christi?
Yeah.
Paige and Brooke,
you will be accompanying your mother, Chloe and Christi
to New York City on Friday.
Yes?
What are Mackenzie, Maddie, Nia and Kendall doing
while we're in auditions?
They're attending NUVO dance competition
in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Not only do we have a competition in New York,
but Maddie and her friend Kalani
are getting to do a duet at NUVO.
I don't hold my students back.
That's a competition that I want to attend.
Spread apart, let's go.
Thanks, moms.
Nia, where are your legs supposed to be?
Ooh, that foot's center stage, sweetheart.
The in... your instep should be down on the ground.
♪ I want to be ♪
Oh, God.
The group dance this week is called "Beautiful Revenge."
I intend on leaving New York with a win.
And... a whole new star-studded team.
Brooke. You're in the middle of a circle,
everyone's around you, you look like you never
had a dance class in your life,
and you arch back to the backbend, and then you
put your hands down and bent down,
instead of sliding.
Do that section with her.
So now it's not just a few people for the tea... It's a whole new team.
And Maddie gets to stay.
JILL: Yeah, Maddie's gonna be on that new team.
(clicks tongue)
Why would Abby say Maddie will be
on the new team, but no one else?
I have no idea.
This is...
the ALDC. Why have another team?
She doesn't want us,
JILL: That's what she wants.
She do... she doesn't want those kids and she doesn't want us.
JILL: She doesn't want us.
HOLLY: Abby's creating a new team
of junior league dancers.
Which makes absolutely no sense.
She has not only a team but a winning team.
ABBY LEE: Hello!
How are you?
She always finds other people.
How are you?
I don't even know who any of these people are.
JILL: Well, that's Kalani.
Well, they're Abby's Ultimate Dancers.
These... These are the two finalists.
ABBY LEE: All right, you want to watch what we're doing?
Okay, let's see it.
Oh, okay.
Well, she knows why.
...check out the team and maybe come on it.
They're going to NUVO.
Abby's wooing them. Well, I realize that, but...
I think she wants them on the team. Absolutely.
HOLLY: Abby much appreciates...
what those girls have to offer over our girls.
If she could replace them, replace our team
with those girls, she'd be very happy.
Paige, what is all that mess? That's a mess.
The fifth time she's done it wrong.
You're worried about all of Paige's dances?
Uh, I mean, seriously. A solo,
a duet, a group and audition.
You want Paige in these numbers, right?
I don't think it's normal to have a solo, duet,
and a group. I mean,
like, someone else should've had either the solo or the duet
to be fair to the group, but...
JILL: She'll be fine.
I don't think Abby would give it to her
if she didn't think she could it.
KELLY: I think
Abby thinks that Paige
isn't gonna be able to handle four dances this week.
I just want Paige to go
out there and do these dances
and prove to her, "I can do this."
She has a solo and a duet to do,
and Kelly's not pulling it. She's not pulling it.
She's not gonna cry. The kid's
not gonna run off the stage.
She's gonna go, she's gonna do the solo, it's gonna be good,
and we're all gonna have fun!
ABBY LEE: Coming up on Dance Moms...
on. Let's do it. So you're going
down, up, hook.
Down, down, down and then you're gonna,
like, break away and piqué back.
Chloe and Paige are performing
a contemporary duet called "Wishbone."
Now, they're supposed to be exactly alike onstage
until the wishbone breaks.
CHRISTI: Chloe played the duet music
HOLLY: Is it good?
CHRISTI: Yeah, it's really pretty, but the words,
"You were my friend but... you grew up like my sister."
And it says, like, "You taught me
Really?
I mean, it's... that's...
MELISSA: That's so cute.
You're going to New York City. It's gonna be...
big.
I don't think by the end of... the audition you're gonna
be as confident as you are right now.
Are you better than they are?
I don't know.
I just don't know when this became Sabotage Your Students.
Last time Paige had a solo, she forgot it.
Chloe struggles with confidence every week.
HOLLY: I know.
JILL: To address that
Exactly. Like in-your-face.
Oh, look, how pretty.
Oh, Kelly, look.
I like that costume.
Okay, let's do your entrance
'cause you're not gonna get out on the stage like that. Go.
Oh, I love lace.
♪ Imagine you're a dragon ♪
KELLY: Brooke's solo this week is called "Purple Reign."
It's an acrobatic routine.
It's almost like...
the old Brooke.
Tighter, tighter! Move! Move!
Cut under yourself.
I just think it's funny because my kids never
get this many dances.
The only reason they got them
is because Abby has all the other girls at NUVO
and didn't invite my kids.
Come on. Be amazing.
(orchestra plays cancan)
ABBY LEE: This is a huge week for Paige.
She's dancing a solo to "Ooh-La-La,"
and it's a cancan routine. Now, this is right up
Paige's alley, with all the kicks and the walkovers.
Paige can't run off the stage and cry.
She has a duet to do and a group routine, too.
So this kid needs to pull it together.
Get your arms by your ears. Go.
Sit. No, s...
Okay, that works. That's fine. And then continue.
So if I took you out
of the group dance, is there gonna be crying
and your mother's gonna be screaming
and all this and all that? Or do you realize
it's so that-- over the next 48 hours-- that you can
concentrate on the duet and on the solo?
(indistinct chatter, cheering)
CROWD: Chloe! Chloe! Chloe!
Chloe! Chloe!
Chloe! Chloe! Chloe!
Chloe! Chloe! Chloe!
Chloe! Chloe!
(cheering, screaming)
ABBY LEE: So, here we are,
my final open-call audition in New York City, home
of the Great White Way.
I have sent many a kid here to become a Broadway star.
Hi.
Hi, girls.
Hello.
Hi, how you doing?
Seeing all these kids here is really exciting.
I am giving them the opportunity of a lifetime,
to become a member of the brand-new
junior elite competition team.
Okay. Let's go.
CHRISTI: But the girls
ABBY LEE: What...
what can't you do? You can't do a tour jeté?
All right.
to demonstrate, you taught them the combo.
You didn't have them learn it out there
with the rest of the kids.
Those are your demonstrators.
I want you to teach the kids before they go out there.
KELLY: I think it's embarrassing that you want
to send your kids out not knowing it.
I think it's embarrassing that they're wearing my clothes.
I brought stuff to change. Would you like them to change?
CHRISTI: You can take yours off, too.
KELLY: Now, right there,
that is wanting those kids to look stupid.
By not teaching them the routine.
All right,
let's go.
You're not replaceable. You're irreplaceable.
What?
Who cares? You want to be replaced anyways.
So hope she finds somebody as amazing as you.
It's ridiculous. We bring our kids to dance class
ABBY LEE: Back up,
spread apart!
Arms in second!
We're here with you. Don't be scared.
Don't cry. Don't be scared.
Anybody holding a title?
ABBY LEE: I have dancers from all over the U.S.A. trying out
here today, and the talent
is overwhelming.
Up, up, down, down, jeté.
You, 628, you're fabulous. Come sit over there.
I'm seeing straight legs,
pointed feet, beautiful posture.
But no dancer is ever perfect,
especially if they haven't taken class from me.
And bring it down, five, six,
seven,
and eight. Finish.
All right.
You are being kept. Go stand with them. All right.
Overall, I am spoiled to have this many kids
who want to be part of the Abby Lee Dance Company.
She's exquisite.
I've been trying to build a team of Maddies
for years, and now
I'm gonna do it.
1622, you quit in the middle.
I don't need quitters. Kelly quits every year.
And this new team will be
unstoppable.
626,
find a new dance studio, sweetheart. A really good one.
The feet and the right shoulder.
From what I saw,
Paige, her à la secondes
(laughter)
No offense or anything.
She-she does ten times
better à la secondes than what Paige... Paige...
Paige, come on out here. Come on back, 626.
Five, six, seven
and up, up, down, down
and one, two, three.
(cheering and applause)
CHRISTI: Good job, Paige!
ABBY LEE: Thank you very much.
You can go.
Take no and go home gracefully.
You're embarrassing yourself. Turn around.
You know what Abby always says?
She can talk about her dancers, but nobody else can.
See you later.
ABBY LEE: Right now,
some of you will be interviewed, some of you won't.
If you don't have what it takes
to be a part of the Abby Lee Dance Company,
let me know because you are taking
a spot away from somebody else.
Based on the talent I saw, I have tons of stars out there
to build a whole new team or maybe two of them.
Do these moms realize that their kids
might just be replaced?
(applause and cheering)
You want to run and hug me?
(applause and cheering)
Oh, my God, I just lost my breath.
KELLY: I'm excited for the competition today.
Usually my kids come,
and they just have a group dance to do. Today,
they both have solos, we have a duet,
we have the group number.
This is what we all wanted.
Where is Abby? Like, why didn't she come in with us?
She always comes in with us.
She doesn't need to come.
It's my kids that have the solos
and the duets. She doesn't
care about my kids.
How was yesterday? Is it because she had a rough day
yesterday at auditions?
I just thought it was frustrating
that she had our girls
go,
and then didn't want to use them to demonstrate.
JILL: Well, she's proving a point, but what point I don't know.
She wants to prove to us that our kids aren't the best,
which I don't understand.
She took them, and they sat there.
Hello! Everybody decent?
Hey, congrats, girls.
I heard the duet and group both won at NUVO yesterday.
This is Ally that I saw yesterday at the audition.
Hi.
And this is her little sister Maggie.
Now, I find two more-- that's a team.
CHRISTI: Abby,
we know there's other dancers out there.
We have never, ever...
I don't think any of us, with the exception of Melissa,
has ever said that our kids are
the greatest dancers of all time.
Paige, remember-- energy, face.
Think if I was... flew all the way to Paris
to see the Moulin Rouge.
That's what I would want to see.
I wouldn't want to be yawning and falling asleep in my chair.
Brooke, just remember what you're doing.
Look at the judges.
Let's go, let's go, let's go.
(applause and cheering)
KELLY: Paige?
You got it, kiddo.
ABBY LEE: This is a big week for Paige,
and I have done everything in my power
to help this kid out.
Now, all Paige has to do is go out there
and win, because if she doesn't,
I have a whole bunch of kids in the wings that can.
ANNOUNCER: Up next, judges, we have entry number 163,
a preteen solo contemporary.

Not only did Brooke mess up a big step,
but she also had zero energy.
The name of her music
is "Purple Reign,"
but the only thing that she's the princess of
is Boring Town, U.S.A.
All right, now, the duet-- I'm probably not gonna get
to talk to you guys back there,
so just be together.
You know what hurt Kendall and Nia last week.
Timing, timing, timing, strength, hitting things.
All right, I'm gonna go because there's some other kids
from the audition that I want to watch.
After seeing Brooke and Paige do their solos,
I'm getting a little worried.
I'm not sure what's gonna happen
with Chloe and Paige out there.
They may be a hot mess.
The duet with Maddie and Kalani is my secret weapon.
I want to enter that here at Sheer Talent
because I need a big win in New York City.
Yeah, she can have it.
Can they do it as an exhibition
and not compete against Paige and Brooke, or Paige and Chloe?
And not be scored?
Mm-hmm, not be adjudicated?
I want a winning duet.
You will. This...
Their duet's gonna win.
I don't think so.
MELISSA: Yesterday, when Abby was having her open auditions in New York,
Maddie and Kalani were in Pittsburgh
competing their duet.
And Abby mentioned that she might want to put it
into the competition this weekend.
She never mentioned it again.
I said, "Oh, no big deal."
Just blew over. You know,
I know if this happens,
Christi and Kelly are gonna be so pissed off.
They're doing their... They're doing their duet.
Who's doing their duet?
Kalani and Maddie.
Here?
Wow.
(applause)
CHRISTI: You know that they brought Kalani to dance
Yeah.
Yeah.
And Abby said she was...
Yeah.
Chloe, who cares?
...one that we've sewn two seconds ago.
You dance your dance with your friend.
Melissa tells us that Abby is entering
Kalani and Maddie's duet in this competition,
and she's acting all shocked about it.
And when we asked Melissa if Maddie was even doing a duet
at this competition with Kalani,
she flat-out said, "No."
And Maddie said, "No."
ANNOUNCER: Okay, judges, we are now going to entry number 76.
Entry number 76 is a preteen duet lyrical.
ABBY LEE: Everybody knows I want to win, and the routines
that already performed just aren't cutting it.
I want to put my best foot forward,
and that foot belongs to a girl named Kalani.
Sorry, kids, that's show business.

CHRISTI: I think the hardest thing for Chloe is,
she asked Maddie if she was doing the duet,
and Maddie lied to her.
I feel bad that Chloe had to learn this lesson...
this way,
but, you know, I don't expect anything less from Melissa,
because she's nothing but a liar.
Well, Melissa, I didn't hear any special announcement
that they weren't being adjudicated, liar.
I wasn't a liar; I asked Abby.
KELLY: You lie all the time, Melissa.
And now you're having your kid lie.
M-Maddie lied to Chloe's face.
Upstairs.
I asked Abby if they could be adjudicated.
It's up to her. She's the dance teacher.
I was told not to say anything-- I didn't even think they were gonna go.
Oh, my God. Okay.
Just like we were saying to you the other day, we said,
you're always told to not say anything,
but we always tell everybody everything.
MELISSA: No, you... Oh.
Do they, girls?
Oh, please.
You guys always do stuff behind our backs all the time.
I don't know. But you guys are always secret.
Because we don't trust you!
Hard lesson
to learn when you're 12.
That your friends really aren't their friends.
MELISSA: All the moms
are mad that Maddie and Kalani
did their duet... and I would've told them
if I knew it was going to happen.
Even in the morning, Abby didn't say one word to me,
so I thought it was not gonna happen.
MELISSA: They said absolutely not today, so I said, "Good."
Let's just get it over with.
Maddie, did you lie to them?
MADDIE: No, I'm saying we did our duet
for NUVO-- that's the competition I was talking about.
CHRISTI: You know what?
Here's the thing, you just...
keep your head up.
Don't let all of that get to any of you. Okay?
CHRISTI: I know, Chloe, I know.
Poor Chloe.
That's all I got to say. Okay?
You are her friend.
ABBY LEE: Here's the thing, you just... T?
keep your head up.
Don't let all of that get to any of you. Okay?
CHRISTI: I know, Chloe, I know.
Poor Chloe.
That's all I got to say. Okay?
You are her friend.
MADDIE: I don't understand why they're so *** me about it.
It's just a dance.
It's two minutes' worth of my life,
and it's over with now, and...
it's not like it's the end of the world. Like, they...
(whispers): just have to calm down.
KELLY: She wanted us to sell T-shirts with
her name on it? No.
Hi.
MELISSA: Yes, of course.
Of course, Jill.
I know some of the moms didn't recognize her
when she came in, but this is her mother, Kira.
Say hello.
CHRISTI: Abby parading her dancers through the dressing room
just goes to show she's trying to psych out her own team.
Like, what kind of teacher does that?
ABBY LEE: So, moms, I've had auditions
and I've seen a lot of great talent,
so I think Kalani might be our right fit.
ABBY LEE: Right. So, Kalani has the package.
And I just said to Kalani in the other room, I said,
"Well, you might have to just do a solo."
She goes, "Well, I don't have a solo yet.
I'll just improv; turn the music on."
Brooke, I gave you how many opportunities last week
to do something on a chair, to get on it, to get off it,
to come up with something cool.
Well, maybe you should replace her.
We don't want to do it anymore.
I don't want to do it. And I'm tired of Abby
throwing it in my face every week
that she's gonna replace my kids.
Here, replace them.
Kalani, do you know the group dance?
Are you in the group dance?
JILL: Okay, just checking.
I don't know. Look at Brooke...
over there. Didn't her mother just say to replace her?
Brooke, is your mother
speaking for you?
Do you not want to dance?
I just want your mother to quit speaking for you.
You're 15 years old. Grow the hell up.
You know what? You shut the hell up.
See how she talks to me?
Abby, if you're not happy with my kid
'cause she doesn't sit here and smart-mouth you
That's fine.
Kelly, why... I don't... I'm just asking.
You know what? Don't even speak to me.
Oh, why can't I speak to you?
'Cause I don't want to speak to you.
KIRA: We're coming into this all new,
and so I just want to know what we're getting into.
A bully for a teacher.
Here's your costumes. Enjoy the dance.
Girls,
let's go.
Kelly, we don't want you to go.
The girls... You guys don't want to go.
KELLY: Well, obviously she wants someone who has never danced here
HOLLY: No, the kids want to dance...
(all talking at once)
That's not what she came here for.
KELLY: Did you just sit here and say
that my daughter looks miserable,
so maybe we should put Kalani in her place?
Yes, you most certainly did.
No, I didn't, dingbat!
Listen, I said,
"Brooke, is your mother speaking for you?"
"Do you want to be here?"
HOLLY: Girls, out the room! Girls, out the room!
Yeah, you idiot.
(overlapping shouting)
Get off of me!
Get away from me!
Out the room! Girls, out of the room right now! Girls!
All right, turn around. Turn around.
You are nuts.
No, you're nuts!
JILL: Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!
HOLLY: Maddie, you, too. All of you, out of the room.
MADDIE (crying): I'm sorry.
HOLLY: All of you.
HOLLY: Girls, gotta get
get out of the room; girls gotta get out the room.
Get away from me.
Call the police. Right now.
Go ahead. You were coming at me!
CHRISTI: I-I was not looking.
That's ridiculous.
(bleep)
ABBY LEE: Call the police.
(Brooke crying, overlapping chatter)
We've had knock-down, drag-out screaming battles before,
but we've never been physical with one another.
Hi. My name is Abby Lee Miller, and a woman just
grabbed and pulled my hair and scratched my face.
KELLY: She's going like this to me.
(Brooke crying)
And pushing me into the thing, so I pulled her hair.
ABBY LEE: I know the woman,
and I just... I want to file a report.
In my face.
500 pound hog pretending to eat me.
She yanked my hair, she scratched...
Like, she... I don't... I don't know.
It happened so fast.
There were no weapons, no.
I don't know where security is,
'cause they certainly weren't helping me.
If she wants a student...
(Brooke crying)
...that she's never trained...
CHRISTI: She doesn't deserve... She doesn't deserve...
She doesn't deserve you guys,
'cause you have been loyal to her since you were two.
There's a dance competition going on,
and it's underneath the stage.
I had to take, like, a freight elevator.
It's in the dressing rooms.
HOLLY: Um, you need to leave now.
We'll get the rest of your stuff.
You need to leave now. Trust me. Now.
I'm gonna get your girls.
Why? What's going on?
HOLLY: You need to go now.
You got to go now.
They're trying to remove her from the premises.
They're getting her stuff packed up.
Okay, Paige and Brooke, they're bringing your shoes.
Your shoes are gonna meet you outside.
We'll get her stuff later.
Just let her take the girls out.
ABBY LEE: She's white.
She has a black and gold dress on,
and she has short... like, a haircut
that's, like, cool and trendy.
Like, it's long in the front and short in the back.
(doors opening)
No?
No. If it was like my knee or my foot, absolutely.
ABBY LEE: Coming up on Dance Moms...
check you out or no?
No?
No. If it was like my knee or my foot, absolutely.
HOLLY: I think the kids were in a state of shock.
They're kind of stunned.
They're upset that their teammates have left,
that there's a void
in the group dance.
I think that the kids also know that they have to compete.
The day, unfortunately, is not over.
It's the second time this season
where the girls had to reblock a number
moments before they go onstage to perform and compete.
Pretty feet, pretty lines.
And come down center.
You have lots more time now.
You're missing two people...
that walked out on the team... again.
Kelly, you have done this to me
and to my dance company time and time again.
I am finished.
Now, I'm gonna reblock the number,
and nobody is ever gonna know
that your two kids were in it in the first place.
You need to go out on that stage
and dance like the Abby Lee Dance Company.
You are professionals.
Come on, we got to walk. Let's go. Let's go.

that these kids just witnessed,
reblocking the number, redoing the group,
these kids just won. They beat everybody else.
Abby, how are you gonna address this with Kelly?
Like, what-what's your next step?
Well, I think the face of this team has definitely changed.
The Abby Lee Dance Company is moving up the ladder.
If the moms don't like it, all I have to say is
that everyone's replaceable.
I'm running a business, so...
my... my rules apply.
ABBY LEE: Kelly--
she's not allowed on the premises.
The face of the Abby Lee Dance Company
is changing.
Hello.
♪ What we need is a girl party! ♪
If I was auditioning for a show,
and you went in before me and sounded like that,
I'd be, like, "No sweat. I got this."
I'm not a liar.
You are a liar!
ABBY LEE: Jeté! Kendall, leap!
My God.
Nia, come on! You just learned it!
I'm finished. I'm done. I can't deal with it.
KALANI: Nia, what's wrong? Nia?
I told my mom.
