Alessia's pov This week, the select team isn't here, that means I'm back on the elite team! Sarah and her mom Christy are here too though.
"Let's go! Come on." Abby yells and we go into studio A. "The walk of shame."
"Sarah, and unfortunately her mother Christy, are here with us today. Then, Ale and Aria, are back on this team- for this week. Sarah, you're a guest here this week. You need to appreciate that and be grateful for that opportunity."
"You guys are two for two- losing two for two to the select team. How did it feel to get beat?"
"Not good" Maddie speaks up
"Not good. Girls, I wasn't disappointed in your dancing. I wasn't disappointed in your hard work. I was disappointed in your attitude after the competition. You need to suck it up."
"The kids didn't cry on stage, and they had nothing disrespectful to say to any of those girls. I think they were sad because they felt let down by you." Jill defends
"I have given you the tools. I have taught you right from wrong. It doesn't matter if you think you didn't get a fair shake, or if you think that the judging wasn't right, or if you're just a sore loser. You don't do it where people can see it, ever, understood?"
"Yes" they replied
"All right, let's get to the pyramid."
"First we have, Chloe. The turn section at the end, it just was never in sync."
"And next, we have Maddie. You've always been a team leader, although you're not the oldest dancer here. That means when things go wrong, people are following your lead. You're upset, you're emotional, the whole team's gonna follow you. Never let them see you sweat."
"Next, Kendall. Kendall, you did a nice job. It was good, but you were part of that turn trio, and you know it could've been better."
"Yes" Kendall nods
"And next, Nia. If you are not born with it, you have to just work harder. If you're not flexible, it's going to take you longer to get the flexibility than somebody that is naturally flexible."
"And last on the bottom, Mackenzie. Mackenzie, you danced way over here for me, instead of way over there for the judges. That's why you're not up there."
"And on top of the pyramid because of the winning group number, is Sarah and Ale.

"Congratulations Sarah and Ale"
"Thank you" We smile
"This week, we will be traveling to In10sity Dance Competition in Cleveland, Ohio. You know what Ohio means."
"We're doing a group routine. It's contemporary ballet aptly titled, Broken Dolls. You are my dolls, right? People think of you that way, Americas sweethearts. But, now you're broken and you let everybody see it."
