Christina POV.

"Let's go, girls. Come on." Ms. Abby called.

I sat next to Chloe and Maddie on the floor.

"Vivi-Anne, where's your dance clothes?" Ms. Abby asked.

The girls and I looked at Vivi-Anne and she wasn't wearing her dance clothes.

"It's in the car." Vivi-Anne replied softly.

"You need to be dressed and ready to dance when you walk in this building, yes?" Ms. Abby asked.

Vivi-Anne nodded.

"I want to recap a little bit about the competition. Now, there are some things that went on that maybe you don't even know about. Your mom was upset about the costume." Ms. Abby said, pointing to Nia.

"Your mom was upset about the costume before you went on stage." Ms. Abby said, pointing to Chloe and I.

"But that cannot happen again." Ms. Abby added.

|We all know why we lost last week. It was the hideous, trashy costumes. But Abby's never going to take the blame. She's going to blame us dance moms.|Christi Lukasiak|Dance mom

"Let's talk about what we're going to do this weekend. We're going to New Jersey, and we are going to do an acrobatic gymnastic routine." Ms Abby said.

|Acrobatics is an art form. It uses the flexibility of the legs and the back to execute slow, controlled movement.|Abby Lee Miller|Dance Couch

"Overall, I evaluated all of your performances. So, Christina, you won the competition and the title. You beat Maddie. I'm going to leave you right where you are, yes?" Ms. Abby asked me.

I nodded. Mommy was smiling.

|Christina is at the top of the pyramid for her performance and her scoring and her overall behavior last weekend. However, I chose to do an acrobatic routine this weekend. So I need to pull in my-my ringer and use Brooke and Christina because they're amazing.|Abby Lee Miller|Dance Coach

"Brooke, I expect you to help the younger students. And I expect you to know the choreography first and be able to help everybody else." Ms. Abby said, looking at Brooke.

|I am shocked where Brooke is placed. Both of my girls are pretty good at acro. So why wasn't Brooke on the top?|Kelly Hyland|Dance mom

"All right, Nia, Paige, you'll be doing the the tumbling part and the acro part." Ms. Abby instructed.

|Abby says she assigns based on last week's performance. But to be honest, I think the pyramid's really not going to change at all. I think Christina will be at the top, and Nia will always be at the bottom of the pyramid.|Holly frazier|Dance mom

"Vivi-Anne, because you're new here, and you don't really know all of our terminology, I'm going to work privately with you this week. And so you're going to do a solo at the competition this weekend." Ms. Abby says, making Vivi-Anne nod and smile.

|This is the greatest thing because I want Vivi to do the competition, the title winning. I want Vivi to be me. I want her to dance and be just like I was.|Cathy nesbitt-stein| Vivi-Anne's mom

"All right, girls, let's go. Get up, get ready to rehearse. Mom's, thank you very much. Vivi don't forget you need to be in in dance clothes whenever you walk in this room, ready to go." Ms. Abby said.

Vivi-Anne nodded.

"One, two, three, four, five." The girls and I bend and tumbling.

|I'm really good at acro because I'm in a acro class with Brooke. Chloe isn't really good at acro but I'll work with her in our basement and she'll get it.|Christina Lukasiak|Christi daughter
