Maddie's POV
I see my sister skip into the spacious hall, her pigtails bobbling up and down. Kenzie joins the line, and all our eyes turn to the two women at the front. On the mirror behind them are a line of pieces of white paper. The older one starts "Welcome. You have been selectively chosen to train and compete with me, Abby Lee Miller. You will call me Miss Abby. My assistant choreographer Gianna here, will also be with us. I know you all have dance experience, and I want to see how you dance. So you are going to preform a short segment of an old solo of yours" I feel at ease with this information. Most dancers can easily recall a routine, especially if you loved it. The woman carries on "You need to pick a routine that shows your best assets, and none of your weaknesses. I know you may all be a little rusty, but I still want to see them. You have 20 minutes before I want to see them." I glance at the other girls before walking over to the side to start stretching. Lucky for me, I stretch everyday so this shouldn't be too hard. And I know exactly what I am going to preform.
Kenzie's POV
After the woman had finished speaking, all the girls dispersed. I felt as if I should too. So me and Asia went into a corner to do some stretches and discuss our routines. I was going to do a lyrical acro piece I had learned called Angels Above Us, while Asia was doing a jazz routine called Leopard Print. I could feel the butterfly's in my stomach as I ran over the routine and perfected it. I needed it to be amazing. Telling Asia to stay put, I raced over to my sister. We used to dance at the same school so I wanted to know what routine she was doing. Wrapping my arms around her skinny frame, I smiled. Me and Maddie hardly ever saw each other and that saddened me. She quickly hugged me back and then asked what routine I was doing.
"City Of Angels" I told her.
"Good choice" She smiled "You won first for that didn't you?"
I nod "What are you doing?"
She smiled shyly "My favourite routine, Scarlett"
I smile at her. Scarlett is Maddie's winning piece. She has gotten a near perfect score on it before. It's because not only is she incredibly talented, she also has the most beautiful facial expressions. You can feel the pain in her dancing. With only 5 minutes left, I leave her and rehearse my routine once more. Miss Abby then called us over, saying that Brooke would go first. Brooke did a acro routine, followed by Nia with a Bollywood routine, then Paige with a jazz routine. After Paige was Chloe, with a contemporary piece. Then it was Kendall, with a jazz routine. After Kendall did her last few moves, the butterflies become wasps and I am so so nervous as I am next. "Mackenzie, you're up" Miss Abby states. I stand up and get into my starting position. As I preform it, I think it goes pretty well. My turns were slightly wobbly and my feet needed to point at certain points, but otherwise was pretty good. I ended the routine by pirouetting and landing dramatically on the floor. Everyone politely clapped and I made my way back to my seat. Then Maddie. It took my breath away, her performance as always. It was just so beautiful. There were tears in all the girls eyes when she finished and you could hear a pin drop. Then we al burst into applause.
Maddie's POV
I knew I had nailed that routine. And I hoped Miss Abby liked it. When I had sat back down again, Miss Abby stood up and smiled at us "You are all very talented dancers and I can't wait to work with you"
