The competition begins

Start from the beginning
                                    

|I always feel bad because my daughter seems to always get to the top of the top, and the girls just, you know, they don't really like it. Melissa hates it. I mean, come on, your jealous of a little nine year old girl.| Christi lukasiak|Dance mom

"Our first competition is going to be in Phoenix, Arizona. Ladies, I chose Phoenix, Arizona because I want you to experience some of the best competition teams in the country. We are going to do two new numbers a high-energy, really cute, adorable routine with Christina, Maddie, Chloe, Nia Brooke and Paige. And deservedly so a solo for my top number one girl Christina." Ms. Abby said.

I looked at my mom and saw her smiling at me, the other moms smile too. I giggled as Chloe played with my hair.

"And then also a trio with Christina, Chloe and Paige. Unfortunately Mackenzie you're too young to compete at West Coast Dance Explosion, but you're still going to go with us anyway." Ms. Abby said.

"Girls, we are going to win in Phoenix, and the next competition we're going to win and the next competition we're going to win, and that's all gearing up for Nationals." Ms. Abby said .

"So let's get to it. We are going to begin the choreography. Moms, you can be dismissed, and girls, let's go to Nationals and bring home the winning trophy. All right?" Ms. Abby said.

Christi POV.

The moms and I went to the viewing room.

"Oh, we're back to dance jail up here." I said.

"I want each of you to do either a chin stand or like a side shoulder stand, and we're going to hold it for eight counts. Christina your front and center. Do it from the top." Abby said.

Christina POV.

"Ready and places. Go." Ms. Abby said.

I did a chin stand.

|Party, Party, party is a theatrical jazz routine. It's upbeat, it's fun, classic jazz.| Abby Lee Miller|Dance Coach

Ms. Abby counted us in as we did the routine.

|Abby sometimes has favorites in the studio, and my daughter just happens to be the favorite. Melissa just needs to except it and stop being a bitch to my daughter| Christi lukasiak| Dance mom

"And five, six... Girls what are you doing? Why is Christina the only one who has straight legs? Those legs are about as straight as Elton John. Watch that right elbow!" Ms. Abby criticized.

|We are five days out from competition in Phoenix. I have a lot of work to do, the kids have a lot of work to do, and it's very stressful.|Abby Lee Miller|Dance Couch

"Go, leap." Ms. Abby instructed.

Christi POV.

"Oh my god it's like we never left." I said.

|I have sat up here a million times before, I've seen a thousand dances go on, and, you know, I'm just kinda hoping this year turns out a little bit better for Chloe and Christina| Christi lukasiak|Dance mom

Christi, Chloe and Christina interview:

"This is my daughter's Chloe and Christina who is nine. They are twins." Christi said.

"Yes we are." Chloe  said and we giggled.

At home interview:

"This is Christina's room and these are her first place trophy's and crowns. She has won first place in everything that she has done and she never gets third place or forth because Abby thinks she's the best." Christi said.
