Dance Prodigy

Stealing the Show

Eden arrived at the studio, feeling refreshed. 

Eden had stayed with her dad the rest of the weekend, and it was exactly what she needed. Her dad brought her to meet his new cast mates. Eden will admit she got a little star-struck meeting all the famous superheroes in costume.

The minute they arrived in Pittsburgh, she couldn't wait until they traveled back to New York for Christmas. During the Christmas break, Angelina would be working on the Broadway show 'Annie', whilst she worked on filming season 3 of Victorious and season 2 of Game of Thrones. 

After last week's competition, Eden's mam finally revealed her surprise. Eden had received a new role in the movie 'The Hunger Games' as Primrose. The movies were based on a book set, that Eden loved.

 The filming began a week after nationals, which worked perfectly for her already pre-packed schedule.

Two hours had passed in the studio. Eden has already taken an Acro, Turn, and Hip-hop class. Before making her way to Studio A, where the show was being filmed.

"Let's talk about the Star Bound Competition. Can we have a round of applause?" The girls and moms clap. Abby clears her throat, looking at Eden.

"Eden you were outstanding, the people behind me were in awe when you did that handstand twist. You stepped up to the plate when I asked you to. That is what I teach my girls to do here in the Abby Lee Dance company". 

This earned an eye roll from Kelly and Christie.

"I want to talk about this week's competition.  Eden, you will remain on top, not only did you lead the group dance to victory but you received a perfect score in your duet. You are getting a solo this week. Chloe, Maddie, and Brooke, you are also doing a solo. Finally, Eden and Maddie, you will be doing a musical theater duet." Maddie and Eden let out a squeal, hugging each other.

Abby chuckles. "Moving on, the bottom row, what am I supposed to do with you four? You need to step it up. You need to get your butts back into class and start working on your technique. And you know what? Since we're in Pittsburgh this weekend. I'm gonna give every single one of you a solo." 

The girls let out cheers of excitement. 

Abby looks to the mom's. "It's going to be a busy week this week, I expect them to be amazing. Ladies, let's go. " Abby signals for the moms to leave, while the girls begin to warm up.

Eden steps forward taking the lead in the warm-up, as instructed by Abby.

After the warm-ups, Abby looks at the girls. "Who should I start with? Who wants to go first?" 

Eden kept my hand down knowing she had a Ballet private and technique class soon. 

"Maddie's hand shoots up first, nearly hitting me in the face. It was a very Hermoine moment.

Abby grins and beckons her forward. "That's what I like to see.  Maddie will be going first. The rest of you can go to class in Studio D.

She makes her way to the den, slipping on her points before making her way to Studio B.

Angelina was already there, waiting. 

"Let's get started with some barre warm-ups?" Angelina instructed as Eden walked over to the Barre.

 "Ms. Abby has asked me about giving you two solos to compete with this weekend. But I declined because you won't be here for half the week with filming and talk shows." Angelina explained

Eden nodded her head in understanding. She was doing some promotional photo shoots and talk shows for Breaking Dawn and The Hunger Games.

 "Am I learning my solo now then? " Eden asks with a resting smile.
