"Imogen ended up getting sick last week and couldn't do the showcase she was so upset that she couldn't do it." Isla said. "I was sick last week." Imogen said.

"First I would like to welcome back Imogen. I'm upset you couldn't be in the showcase but I'm glad you feel so much better. Now I want to talk about this upcoming weekend. It's regionals. Everybody knows how important that is. We are going to Starpower.

You know that's one of the toughest competitions out there. This is what's going to happen for this next weekend. Maddie, new solo. Imogen, new solo. Brooke, new solo. Chloe, new solo.

Now the age categories are a little different. So we want to make sure that your dance reflect you as a dancer now, not the beginning of the season. We are doing a new group routine this weekend.

And everybody's in it the entire cast. It is called "Where Have All the Children Gone?" This is a routine about children who become missing. We've all seen the children's faces in the milk cartons. It's contemporary, it's mature, and it is very dark.

You have to be great actresses to pull it off. And they're all in white looks they're angels. I don't want any discrepancies. I don't want any opinions. Moms, I'm going to go ahead and dismiss you now. Girls, up. Let's get moving, let's get moving." Abby said to the girls.

All the girls are getting up. Abby start counting and watching the girls start the dance practice to Where All The Children Gone.

"I don't know what the meaning of this dance means I mean I am only 9 years old." Imogen said.

"Come in close listen to me. All right, you're dancing, you're doing steps, you're trying to listen to the words. You're not interpreting the story correctly. And this is very serious because maybe people in the audience have had a child that's going missing.

So you're going to touch somebody heart. So this has to be a very serious routine. And right now you're just doing the steps, and we need to get past that and we need to perform. Do you two understand. It is very serious." Abby said.

"I don't know about this dance it is very dark but I am happy that I have a solo and I hope it's a Jazz or Lyrical routine." Imogen said and tried not to laugh.

Three Days To Competition
"Good morning. Are you all ready." Abby said to the girls. Abby told Imogen to work on her solo called "P.Y.T" it's the Micheal Jackson song. Gianna wanted Imogen to run through it again. "That looks amazing Imogen but I want to remember that your legs need to be straight." Giana told her. Imogen nodded her head. "You might get first place." Giana said and Imogen laughed and hugged her.

"I love my piece because my mom always plays these type of song. Micheal Jackson is on of my favorite artist and I'm glad Miss Abby gave me this piece. I told my dad he said. Him, bubby, sissy, my grandmas and aunties are all coming to this competition."

It's time to get on the bus and everyone is waiting on Christi and Kelly to get on the bus. The made it to Rhode Island for the competition. The girls are getting ready. "Can I have everyone come here and gather up. There's people here from all over the place. And the reason this is the last regional to qualify for their national.

So, I need you to be on the A game today. You have a new solo today, you have a new solos today, you have a solo today. I was going to have you dance in whatever the next age group is 9-to-11?

You've have a really easy year and you're eight; you're at the top of the age scale. Yes? Everybody else is at the bottom of their age scale. So we're gonna bump you up and put you on the youngest side just so we see how it is, all right?" Abby said.

"Maddie got bumped up to my age category and it's fun because I love dancing against her to see which one of us will win first overall especially for this competition." Imogen said while nervous.
