Abby kicked out all the moms, she started up on solos but she did something strange, very strange. Instead of having all the kids out of the room, working on technique or going to a class, she kept them in there to... watch? Everyone was confused, especially Hannah. In her mind Hannah was freaking, she had to learn her solo first, in front of everybody! It was embarrassing considering her whole solo was about how Abby didn't really care about her and how she wanted Hannah to make her pay attention to her. So she was dancing timid and small, like usual.
"HANNAH! THIS SOLO IS ABOUT ALL THE ATTENTION BEING ON YOU! SO EXPLAIN WHY YOUR OWN TEAMMATES ARE SO DISINTERESTED THAT THEY ARE STARING AT THE MOMS?" Abby was like a ticking time bomb, "HANNAH POINT THAT FOOT! THERE ARE FOUR GIRLS I COULD'VE GIVEN THIS DANCE TO!", and she was known for blowing up at kids, "AND THOSE GIRLS COULD DO THIS DANCE TEN TIMES BETTER THAN YOU ARE DOING RIGHT NOW!" usually for things their parents did, "IT'S LIKE YOU DON'T EVEN WANT THE DANCE!", but to Abby it was all the same, "GIVE MY SOMETHING! ANYTHING!", so she continued to do it.
|| I am this close to taking this solo away from Hannah and giving it to Amelia, she's lucky I haven't already done that! || - Abby Lee Miller
|| On the inside I'm bawling, but everyone online made fun of me for crying so much, so over the break I toughened up, I swear! || - Hannah Colin
Everyone in that room was tense. They had been tense for the last hour and a half and everyone, camera people and Abby included, were surprised that she hadn't burst into tears and run to her mommy because she had cried over much less. So to see her standing up there with a smile on her face was shocking, especially considering the fact she was being yelled at every ten seconds, but none the less after such a long time it seemed as though Hannah had grown some thick skin.
Upstairs Ann seemed to have a very different perception of what was happening. She seemed to think that Hannah was bawling like a baby and not one of the children in the room did anything to stop it. At. All.
She was livid and by the time Abby had started to threaten to take away her solo she was ready to blow up, not at Abby, not at the moms, but at the children. She power walked down those stairs and opened the studio door like it was no ones business, and boy she was angry! Maybe it was because she had a lot of pent up anger from last season, or maybe it was because of the new kids that she realized Hannah's vulnerable position but something just made her blow up and she was not shy about it.
|| Why are none of those kids help in my daughter? Can't they seem that she's struggling? Especially that new girl, she should be getting the critiqued not my Hannah Banana! || - Ann Colin
Ann started the confrontation in the worst way possible, by talking to Abby, "Now Abby, tell me why you gave Hannah this solo if you're just going to take it away from her day one? It's not fair!" Ann whined. Abby just made a face and continued to teach Hannah and just thought hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil. That seemed to infuriate Ann even more so she turned to the children, "Why are you all just sitting there? Why are you not stopping her?" She turned to Amelia specifically, "Are you dumb or just a bad person?"
|| When Ann said that I just saw red! Who does this woman think she is? What gives her the right to talk - no yell - at my daughter like that? || - Sandy Hatchet
|| The moms sometimes say things that aren't the best but that could possibly be one of the worst, like why would you say that? || - Sarah Georgiana
In that moment everything stopped, the camera people froze, Hannah stopped dancing and Abby swiveled around in her chair but no one spoke, until Sandy burst into the room. "HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO MY DAUGHTER LIKE THAT!? WHAT POSSESSED YOU TO SAY THAT?!" Sandy was fuming, this mother who'd been a bit a bitch to her since day one, had the gall to get in her daughters face and speak to her like that? Hell no! While Sandy continued to yell at Ann, Gianna awkwardly shuffled the children out of the room, concerned that this could possibly turn physical.
Ann was done being treated like garbage, so for once she spoke up, "I CAN SAY WHATEVER I WANT, B***H! AMELIA COULD SPEAK UP BUT SHE WANTS TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY FROM HANNAH! AMELIA HAS A VOICE DOESN'T SHE?! HANNAH WAS BULLIED FOR NOT SPEAKING UP AND THAT'S WHAT YOU DAUGHTER'S DOING, SO F**K HER!" It took everyone a minute to register what just happened, but Abby was so done with this mother.
"Get out. You can come back tomorrow and we'll see if Hannah still has a solo, but right now get out of my studio." She spoke in the most level tone possible, not raising it a decibel, and pointed to the door. Ann looked at Abby in disbelief and stormed out muttering curses, slamming the door and grabbed a tearful Hannah on her way out.
|| I've dealt with a lot of BS, but not anymore, NUH UH! It's the world according to Abby and right now Ann is not in that world! And it's not because of Hannah, she's a good kid, but that mother swore in a mothers face about her child, which is just uncalled for and I won't stand for it! || - Abby Lee Miller
Abby, pretending like nothing happened, called the children back in to work on Brady' solo, Straight Back Down, which she thought would be a winner. She started to explain the routine to him, in maybe the worst way possible, "Now Brady, you're coming off an acting success, so if you screw this up, last week'll just be a fluke, okay?" Brady fidgeted a bit, nervous about the pressure Abby was applying, "So your story is about trying to leave this girl, maybe you don't love her or even like her anymore, maybe you think she's too good for you, but you just can't seem to leave her, you always just come back to her, got it?" When Brady nodded, she started the choreography, and for a while everything as peaceful, but like usual, it didn't last long around Abby. For some inexplicable reason she started to nit pick a part of the dance, but as soon as that part of the dance was over, she went radio silent.
|| I feel like Abby' putting a lot of pressure on me, more than she's putting Hannah and it's freaking me out and I can't remember some of the choreo, so I end up freaking out more! || - Brady Farrar
|| A kid of Brady' age and skill should be able to pick up choreo as quick as I teach it but for some reason it's just not happening today || - Abby Lee Miller
Once Abby saw that Brady just wasn't working today she stopped him, and told him to leave and that they were done for the day, which greatly confused all he moms, especially Tricia, Brady usually got over an hour or two for his solo but now, he was being kicked out after an hour and a half, just like Hannah, was this finally going to be a fair fight? She was complaining when Abby started on Pressley' solo, which anyone with two working eyes could see that she wasn't trying nor was fully invested in the routine. She didn't talk to Pressley before they started, which to some seems like a good thing, but in reality meant that Abby really just didn't care, about the dance or the dancer. And Ashley was sick of it.
|| If Abby's not going to fully get into my daughters solo, don't do three solos! It's simple! || - Ashley Hosbach
|| I know Abby doesn't seem really care about how I do, but in pyramid she did so I'm going dance like she wants me to win || - Pressley Hosbach
Pressley was dancing the best out of the three soloists, so Abby had to give her some disadvantage that the other two didn't have and that was she didn't finish her solo. Hannah, who may not even do the damn solo, finished hers, but Abby couldn't find it in her cold, dead heart to give them a fair fight, of course! She called the group in because it was nearing nine o'clock, which was when they stopped, and she needed to start the group because it was difficult and it had to be started tonight or it wouldn't be polished.
Abby called the mothers down to the studio and told them to get 'The Kendall Bench' from out the front, which was a little confusing considering that bench seemed to never be spoken about, but right now Abby really wanted to speak about it. It started to make sense when she told he mothers about the project they needed to do. "Moms, I need the engraving off of this bench because we need it for this routine. Once you finish that I need it painted white, not off white or cream, white, do you understand?" They all nodded unenthusiastically, not really wanting to do so, but putting up with it none the less.
|| The concept of this dance is, Max is Charlie Chaplin, and he's really happy but everyone else around him is sad, they feel lonely and jealous of Chaplin. So he goes around one by one giving them flowers cheering them up, because that's the kind of person Max is, but at the end he has no flowers so he becomes sad and all the girls figure out that we don't need flowers to be happy and give them back at the end, I really love the idea! || - Amelia Hatchet
|| The dance is really tricky, because we have to be in sync or it doesn't work and as soon as we get the flower we dance to a different rhythm || - Lilliana Ketchman
|| I love Charlie Chaplin! Like so much, I adore him, so I'm really happy I get to portray him! || - Max Fevoro
They had run through the dance a few times and Abby was semi-happy with it so she let the children out with them promising to rehearse until they got the choreo down pat, which she didn't fully believe, but smiled softly anyway which surprised everyone but in a good way.
Even thought the day started a little crazy Max and Amelia considered it an unqualified success, but boy was tomorrow going to be a wild ride!
So, I very much hate this chapter because I feel like it started really good then it just fizzled towards the end so hopefully next chapter will be better,I just wanted to show all of the solo rehearsals but I guess that was dumb But You Only Life Once! And yes I know that the YOLO is wrong, deal with it! Also would you guys like some chapters based on the 'Dance Party' series on YouTube? Cause I was thinking of doing that but what do you think? What do you think is going to happen next chapter?
Question: Who do you think will come out on top for solos?
