Season 2 episode 13

Y/n's POV

When we got to New York we go to a dance company for the Jeffery Ballet and a competition, as soon as we walked in Abby starts talking

"Girls, this is a big time. We are here in New York City in the dance Becca 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 their life. Do you understand that?" We nod

"Yes, there's a lot of kids that win competitions, a lot of kids who gets crowns on their heads, and there's a handful that make it in the industry. Remember that. I want to talk about Michigan first. We are not going to win a group dance until everybody in this group is on the same level. When parts of the choreography are in unison, you all need to be in unison. That's what it means. It's not about your solos. It's about that group, and you need to learn the dance in a group. If you do apply the corrections, your 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-"

"Credit?" Abby starts clapping sarcastically

"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 make them look like idiots because you were out there, woo, shaking it up, understood?" She nods looking upset, I feel bad so I hold her hand rubbing the back of her hand with my thumb

"Next, Chloe. Time to face the music. Forgot your routine. Your not seven anymore, your ten years old. You can't make up your own thing and wait to get back onto the music when 35 other dances are doing the right thing. That's a pink slip. That's the unemployment line, understood?" Abby asked, Chloe then nods

"Next, Nia. You hurt your foot. You worked through it. It all worked out. However, it's the technique. And it's like we tell you over and over, it's up to you. Do you want to make it better? Then you will. Understood?" She nods

"Next, 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 I have, Y/n, you weren't in a trio, but you did have a solo and you placed first, you were also in the group dance and I didn't see any mistakes." I smiled

"And on the top, again, is Maddie. I challenge you to keep winning your solos because you pick up quickly. I want to talk about after the competition. The scout from the Jeffrey Ballet School, came to our dressing room. They chose the Abby Lee Dance Company. There are people from all over the world coming here to train. Your going to be going to the Jeffrey School with some of the most prestigious instructors in all of New York." I nod

"The judges that are judging you are three instructors at the Jeffrey School. They're going to look at feet, turnout, body lines. Everything you've learned up until this point is going to come into play in this audition. You guys need to fight for this. We have to work on a ballet combination today. We have to work on a short presentation for each one of you to do when you go into that audition. I expect you to look like ballerinas. I'm shocked at the way you're dressed. Here you are in New York City going to a professional dance studio. You never know who's going to be there. You never know who's going to see you. You always want to look your best. Your going to have pink tights on, your going to have a leotard on, your going to have your hair in a bun. So moms, your going to have to go out, your going to have to hit the dance wear store, and I want them to look like ballerinas. The look is half the battle, mommy's not going to be there. Abby's not going to be in there. It's you. You either sink or swim. And please don't embarrass me." We nod
