009. From Ballerinas To Showgirls

we get out of the van and we head into our studio for this week in, Las Vegas!

|Pyramid|

"Welcome to Las Vegas!" Abby announces

we set our dance bags down and we line up for Pyramid

"I want to reflect on Starpower last week, some off you did really well..however as a whole not great. I brought brandon in I thought that would do the trick and the dance was a mess"

"the competition in Las Vegas this week is Thunderstruck and we have four days to prepare as a group this particular group as never not placed in the overall highscores so you need to be flawless this week."

Abby then moves onto the pyramid

"Vivi-Anne, not here her mother made it quite clear she was not travelling to Las Vegas so you know what this poor little girl is going to suffer her mother didn't follow the rules let this be a lesson to all of you and to all of your mothers if you don't follow the rules and you don't give me 100% I will yank your number from the competition"

Vivi's headshot as a cross over it.. and I'm not even kidding.

"next up Mackenzie, honey I'm sorry you lost your duet partner however I want you to practice on all of your jumps and all or your tricks because next week you will definitely be competing"

"okay" Mackenzie smiles

"Paige, your performance is good but you're not winning and you're not placing in the overalls and I feel like you should be placing definitely in the top ten, this is your city you have the long legs you have the look, yes? because of that Paige, you're getting a solo, understood?" Abby says

Paige nods

"Nia, last week in Orlando you finally won your category I think you need to do that all the time so I hope that your mother now trusts me doesn't question my every move, I've had it with that it's what you do onstage that matters not the choreography not the costume, it's you and your technique that is going to win the first place it felt good to win didn't it?"

"yes" Nia smiles

"yes, this week you get another solo and I expect you to win again." Abby says

"second row.. Brooke, did a great job but you didn't make the top three, yes? I understand the girls were a lot older but you can't used excuses you should blow them away. You are doing a solo and just like Paige this is your city you've been talking about Cirque for years since you were a little kid, certainly someone from Cirque is going to be judging you here so you need to step it up and make sure they know your name at the wnd of the competition"

"next we have Amelia, can we have a round of applause for Amelia as she is now Petite Miss Dance Of America"

everyone claps and I smile

"Congratulations I am very proud."

"Thank you." I smile

"But now since you won this big title winning a first place trophy at a competition should be easy peasy, so you have a solo this week and I expect a win." Abby says

I nod

"and at the top of the pyramid Chloe, now you're probably wondering why because Chloe didn't dance last week..I keep hearing no one can win because Maddie wins well you know what this is your shot."

"Maddie, I'm giving you the week off, No new solo."
