this week we are in New York for an audition and competition and i'm super excited!

|Pyramid|

"come on girls let's go!" Abby says as we walk in for pyramid

"girls, this is the big time we are here in new york city in the dance mecca of the world right here and i want you to take it all in, everybody you pass on that street probably took a dance lesson at some point in there life do you understand that?" Abby says

"yes" we all say and nod

"there's a lot of kids at wing competitions there's a lot of kids that get crowns on their head and there's a handful that make it in the industry remember that. i wanna talk about Michigan first we are not gonna win a group dance until everybody in this group is in the same level." Abby says

"when's parts of the choreography are in unison you all need to be in unison that's what it means! it's not always about your solos it's about that group number that you need to dance in the group if you don't apply the corrections you're not going to improve and that's the issue." 

"now on with the pyramid, on the bottom of the pyramid is Paige, did you correct the arms? yes. did you put the phone away? no." 

"she gets no credit for doing her back tuck or her press or" Kelly says

"you want it?" Abby says and claps

"it's her phone." Kelly adds

"next Mackenzie, you can improv if you're early on the music in a solo but when you do it in a trio and you don't tell the other two partners to do it ahead of time you made them look like idiots cause you were out there wooo! shaking it up understood?" Abby says

Kenzie nods

"next Chloe, time to face the music you forgot your routine you're not seven anymore you're ten years old you can't make up your own thing and wait to get back onto the music when 35 other dancers are doing the right thing that's a pink slip that's the unemployment line understood?"

Chloe nods

and i squeeze her hand because she still did really good

"next Nia, you hurt your foot you worked through it it all worked out however it's the technique and it's like telling you over and over it's up to you do you wanna fix it?do you wanna make it better? then you will. understood?"

Nia nods

"moving up we have Brooke, Brooke you did what you needed to do but you always just do what you needed to do i want to see more from you."

"next Maddie, you got second which seems to be a pattern forming every time you dance against your sister, last season it was always a battle it was back and forth you never knew who would win but now it's becoming predictable i'm picking up who i need to choose more to win."

Maddie nods

"and on top of the pyramid Kayla, i keep challenging you to win your solos and you do so a very well done, solo was clean and strong and you earned your way up to the top of the pyramid." Abby says

i smile
