"in addition to our rehearsals for this ballet audition you are also going to be working on a number..you heard that right so we will be attending Starbound competition in Paramous New Jersey and the competition is going to be fierce,
ladies our group routine this week is about a very serious topic let me just say each one of you is going to be in jail." Abby says

i make a face to Maddie and we turn back to Abby

"it's dark it's a bit avongaurd and it's going to be fun..Chloe you just came off a solo you forgot your routine you got to be right back on that horse you are going to be doing a solo this weekend..Camila you just won a crown so obviously you'll be doing a solo"

i smile

"Maddie you've been undefeated for the last few weeks challenging you once again to do a solo at Starbound..this might be the busiest week of your life i know i'm putting the pressure on you but you know what there's time for pressure and it's right now you are representing the Abby Lee Dance Company you are representing thirty two years of history you understand that?"

"pick out something from one of your solos that are amazing that you do better than everybody else does" Abby says

i do my turn sequence from my solo 'The Red Means I Love You'

"i don't think you understand quite how important this is, you cannot go in there and act like slacker"

we do some barre work and ballet technique

"you are going infront of people who have had great careers you don't want to walk in there and be the big joke that they are gonna laugh at when they go home tonight"

we do a ballet combo and i really miss doing classes because i think Ballets fun

Abby then lectures the moms on leotards..
