S2 ep 15: The night of the living dancers

"girls! let's go hurry up!" Abby says as we walk in
"girls you walked into this room just as sluggish and boring as you walked out on that stage zero energy." Abby says

ouch...

"you have to come out there with energy you can't get halfway through the number then peter out, you're boring!" Abby says then she moves onto the pyramid

"so at the bottom of the pyramid Maddie, Maddie you had an opportunity to dance that didn't happen they announced you and you're bawling in the audience that's unacceptable behaviour you're nine years old when opportunity knocks open the door." Abby says to Maddie
"next Mackenzie, Mackenzie your routine was a winning number you were tenth i don't do tenth."

"next Paige, you went out there you looked great you forgot a step you cant forget a step."
"Brooke, Brooke you're here because you give me this much i don't see this personality you just see this fake little smile you're concentrating so much to don't screw up the dance you can't have fun out there."

"moving up we have Nia, Nia again you're here because you showed responsibility you quit fooling around and i didn't have to hear your mouth all day long yes?"
"next we have Chloe, Chloe you did your solo now listen to me i want more."

"and on top of the pyramid Evie, you were a major professional last week i asked you to go on for your sister you didn't even blink an eye you went out there with a dance you learnt in 10 minutes and received second place, some turns were shaky but at least you didn't run off the stage." everyone claps at me and i beam

"this week we are going to energy dance competition in chicago so we had a great competition last time we were in chicago but we didn't win i'd like to win." Abby says
"Nia you and Mackenzie will be doing a duet."
we clap

"Paige you have a solo it's not a reward you can screw up your own dance by missing the choreography but you can't mess up other people"
"Brooke you also have a solo, Chloe you're solo is called unchained but you know what the rule is you're not in class no solo so we need to figure out what went on last night i had faculty member coming to tell me where's Chloe why isn't Chloe in class"
"she was at the doctor" Christi says

"but you need to have some type of decency or say hey i'm taking my kid to the doctor and bring a doctors excuse." Abby says
"i have one." Christi says
"good." Abby says

"and Evie based on you're maturity and professionalism last week you'll also be getting a solo." 
i smile
"okay girls i look at this pyramid and i don't even want to do a group dance cause you're lazy you're lifeless and you don't give me 150% now this routine is about zombies because that's what i think you are onstage you get out there and you're like a zombie sleeping half the time"

"Holly you're not working anymore you have all the time in the world so you are incharge of the costumes." 
"for the group number?" Holly asks
"yes." Abby says

Holly looks stunned.
"alright moms your dismissed Holly don't procrastinate everybody else spread apart." Abby says

|Group Rehearsals|
"give me a big grand pele and wiggle your head back" Abby says
we have these props like a statue stand and it's so cool
"make sure you hit that grand attitude Paige!" Abby says

"go Nia!"
"more Paige it's not little it's big Paige!"
we finish up the group and we get dismissed

|Two Days To Competition| 
we enter the studio and mom stays behind to talk to Abby
we head into the dancers den and i put on my jazz shoes
my solo rehearsal is first and it's called the forest and it's contemporary and it's very nice
"and i want you to reach forward kick your back leg up and spin." Abby says
i do that and we finish up the routine
"alright we'll clean this tomorrow you're dismissed" Abby says
"thank you." i say and leave
