Baby Dance Mama Drama (s5 e30)

Alessia's pov
"Big happenings. This wasn't here last time we were here" Jill says as we walk up to the ALDC LA studio where we finally get to rehearse!

"That's true. The dumpster was not here last time." Holly nods

"Well, Abby should be in a great mood because we're at her studio, the kids are gonna be dancing in there." Jill points out

"We've been waiting, we've been in LA all this time and awaiting the opening of the studio, so it's pretty neat to finally go in." Holly says

"How many weeks have we been here? Six weeks? Seven weeks?" Jill questions

"Seven weeks" My mom says

"Let's go see. I want to see" Jill says and we all pick up our bags and walk inside. The minute we get inside, we all start cheering and we run into the main dance room. As we ran past everything we could see the flooring that was put in, the walls were done. One room at a whole trampoline!

I quickly take off my jean shorts and tank top to reveal my black booty shorts with a gold waistband and a matching black and gold ALDC sports bra. I then put my hair into a ponytail and added some bobby pins to it

We then started playing around in the main room. Jill even did a cartwheel while my mom and Melissa were jumping together. I think they were playing ring around the rosy. We then ran to hug Abby, who seemed very, very happy

We then all put on yellow hard hats and got into lines for pyramid

"Do you have, um, an open date then?" Kira asks Abby

"In two weeks." Abby answers and we clap and cheer. "Since the week of nationals is your last week here, I wanted to make sure that was the same week we open the studio. You're gonna be here, live, performing, meeting people, signing autographs, doing everything."

"All right, so, let's get to pyramid"

"Big win, yay." Abby begins and we cheer some more. "We needed a big win going into this building and this opening and our nationals. Nationals are two weeks away. That's it, that's all we have. Are you technically prepared? No. Have you improved immensely from last year? No."

Well, how can we get "immensely" better without any classes or anything? That's makes no sense.

"All right, let's get to the pyramid, shall we?"

"At the bottom of the pyramid... Kalani. You weren't in the group dance, you missed a day of choreography, I felt that everybody would be in danger if I just threw someone in it. And you understood that"

"Yes" Kalani nods

"Next... we have JoJo. And I put you and Kendall neck and neck to see who would be vying for a spot at nationals. JoJo, unfortunately, you forgot your dance, you choked."

"So is JoJo completely out for the solos or is this...?" Jess begins to ask before Abby interrupts

"Yes, accept it and move on. Yes."

"I was just asking" Jess defends

"So you don't need to ask me ever again." Abby shakes her head

"Next, we have Nia. You were good. You were great. You let the kid walk up your back. You did what you needed to do."

"Kendall. You were third."

"Next... is Ale. Ale, you were good in the group routine, not great. I don't think you stood out like you usually did. I get that your ankle is bothering you, but you just have to push through it"

| I want to be able to make Abby proud of me, but my ankle really, really is hurting so it's kind of hard to dance the same way | Alessia Russo

"Next we have Maddie. Maddie, you were supposed to be the lead in the group dance. Although it was..."
