The View From the Top (s3 e18)

Alessia's pov
We're in New York City! My mom and I got here earlier than everyone else so I could take a hip hop class. But now I'm with my team and heading towards the studio we're renting.

"All right, here we are, New York City." Miss Abby says and we clap. "Remember, if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. This week, we will be attending the Masters of Dance competition, and it's going to be tough. This is our first time showing up. We will be the underdog. And Cathy, who we thought would be in Ohio, she's here in New York City. Last time she beat you, it was bad. A perfect score? That doesn't happen too often. She wants to do it again. You going to let it happen? Now, let's get to the pyramid"

"On the bottom, Mackenzie. You don't dance, there's nothing to critique. And next, Nia and Asia. That wasn't a duet, it wasn't partners working together. It was you double timing everything" Miss Abby said to Asia. "And it was you trying to keep up" She points to Nia.

"And next I have Brooke. You do that side aerial to one knee, you're the first face that comes forward. You need to lock eyes with one of those judges. You need to draw them in and tell them that story. All we saw was the top of your head. And moving up, Paige. Paige, you didn't draw my focus. Not in a good way, not in a bad way. I think that's a good thing. And next, Kendall. Kendall, you've had a good run lately. This week, you flew under the radar. And next Maddie. Last week, there was 11 points between you and the next contestant. This week, there was 1. You did not have your head in the game. Wake up. And next we have Chloe. You stayed on your music Chloe, you remembered the choreography, you applied the corrections, you were beautiful."

"And taking a bite out of the big apple is Ale. Now Ale once again you won in the teen division. I think I've lost count of how many wins you've had this season. I know I can count on you to go out there, give it your all and win. Plus, Ale, you and your mom came here early just to take a hiphop class. That is truly admirable." Miss Abby compliments and I smile.

"So this week at the Masters of Dance, everybody is in the group routine. Asia, you're certainly better on stage alone. You will be performing a solo. I have another solo going to Chloe. Maddie, you will also be doing a solo. Of course, Ale you will be getting a solo. I have one more routine to give out. One more solo. My last and final routine is going to Kendall. Now Jill, you can run along to Henri Bendal and buy me a gift." Miss Abby says and Jill says "ok"

"We have a lot of choreography to get through, but first things first. We need to work on The Last Text for The View. And Asia, you will be doing The Last Text."

"Thank you" Asia says and we clap. I see Melissa roll her eyes and Kenzie looks really sad

"Mackenzie's been in the dance since the get go. I mean and she's fine, you know? She hasn't been dancing. And I would like her to be in it." Melissa interrupts.

"Well, that's just it, she hasn't been dancing." Miss Abby says

"Yeah, but I would like her to be in it. She's part of this team and she been here since she's three years old. I think you should give her a chance."

"Melissa, I need you to let me work, understood?" Miss Abby tells her

***

We started going over The Last Text number and Miss Abby's yelling out corrections.

The moms are asking Melissa about The Last Text number and who she thinks is doing it. Jill and I are backing her up in her opinion that Kenzie should do it and not Asia.

Miss Abby talks to us about how The View is important to our futures and how we have to act really well

"Ok babe, we're going to do something a bit different with your solo" Miss Abby tells me. "I understand that you had a hour private after that hiphop class correct?" I nod. "Ok can I see the dance you learned?"

I do the hiphop dance that I learned and when I finished Miss Abby and Miss Gianna were clapping

"Ok I really like that. Would it be okay if that was the solo for the competition?"

"Yes. He said that this solo I learned would be amazing for competitions and that I would probably win with it" I explain to Miss Abby

"I definitely agree with that. Let me see it a couple more times"

***

Now we're working on the group routine for the competition. It's called Runaways and I really enjoy it. Miss Abby ended up getting mad and stopped rehearsals for the day

DAY OF
"THE VIEW"

The moms and girls and I are all walking into the building. I'm so excited. We're going to rehearse on the real stage so we get comfortable. It's so much fun.

Of course Miss Abby is yelling corrections. She also keeps swapping Asia and MacKenzie so I don't even know who's doing the dance at this point.

We finally leave to get ready. We go into our like dressing room area so our moms can get us ready. My mom starts curling my hair. She's also going to do all my makeup to make sure it's perfect.

"Ow mom you burned my ear" I tell her.

"Sorry babe" She apologizes

Once she's down with my hair she starts my makeup.

Abby was sitting at the table on live television with the other hosts. The girls and moms were all watching her and making comments (obviously).

Alessia's pov
The girls and I are all ready for the dance. Right now I'm marking it because there is no way I'm letting myself forget this.

"Alright girls we're ready for you" A man says as he walks into our room. We hug our moms for good luck and then follow him

In our way there Miss Abby officially says that MacKenzie is doing the group! We go to the backstage area. The we go onstage and set up

"Here to perform The Last Text please welcome the dance troupe from the Abby Lee Dance Company" A host says. Our music starts and we begin

I think we did amazing. Maybe better than the first time. And everyone cheered for us and it was so great.

We go onstage, take pictures and then go back to the dressing room

***

We go back to the dressing room and the moms and Miss Abby hug us and say we did amazing and outstanding.
