I don’t have time to do an in-depth recap of this show but it’s almost time for RHOA and I still haven’t gotten a chance to do it so here is a slap dash one. The title says it all. Kalani finally gets a chance to take a whack at Maddie. I can’t believe Abby is allowing this.
At pyramid, Abby is thrilled they won with their group dance but she puts Nia on the bottom for daring to come in a meager third with her solo. Shockingly, Mackenzie and Maddie join her at the bottom. Melissa must have pissed Abby off. And she is mad about her technical ability being called out last week. Abby seems pleased with Kalani and Kendall is at the top for winning the overall high score. Kendall is also working her video this week.
Maddie’s solo is lyrical. Kalani’s is contemporary. The group dance is also contemporary. Maddie will be out one day of rehearsal to perform on Ellen.

Dancing in the Rain.
At the competition it is time for solos. Kira tells Kalani that her choreography is good enough to beat Maddie. Maddie did her trademark lyrical solo. It was beautiful but I’ve seen this too many times to get excited about it. The big LA competition studio MDC had a fantastic solo. Way different from the ALDC brand of choreography and better than what Maddie did in my opinion. Kalani’s contemporary solo had great, different choreography. She’s definitely in the race.
The group dance has fantastic costumes. The dance was really good. Unfortunately for ALDC, the competition might be better.
The other team’s solo got fifth. I’m surprised. Kalani got second. Maddie got first.
The competition group got third and ALDC got first. I thought AAbby was actually going to cry. She may have actually shed a tear. It was a clean sweep.
Ever since they showed Abby stuffing that hamburger in her mouth, I just haven’t been able to watch the show and I’ve been from the beginning. There was just something so wrong with that.
I too love the group costumes. I guess Kendall is peaking on the pyramid because she is about to make Abby some side $. I also think Maddie is a fantastic dancer but would love to see her step out of her comfort zone and do something different. All her dances are starting to look like the last one for me.
I absolutely loved the group dance and kalani this week.. Maybe cuz they were both contemporary? I like Maddie but thought kalani got robbed this week. Mad dies routine just was boring to me. Overall, aldc looked great this week.the whole team seems to be really gelling. Mdcs dancer looked shaky and unsteady. Nia does seem to get ignored. I hope that’s storyline and not true. It sure gets holly a lot of face time.
From what they showed of Kalani’s dance, it wasn’t choreographed to score big points. I know they said it was, so maybe they didn’t show the parts that would have scored higher. Those big turn sequences they always do are big points, and I didn’t see any of those in Kalani. She is a tremendous dancer, but that wasn’t the best dance I’ve seen her do. The soloist from the other studio was lovely, but just not as polished as Maddie and Kalani.
And the other studio’s group dance was so much more interesting to me. I’m wondering if their heavy use of such major props was seen as a distraction to the actual dancing. I do think they can hurt more than they can help some times.
The disparity in technique between Nia and the other girls is really starting to show more. It’s seemingly simple things like when they all extend a leg up. Nia’s leg is there, but it lacks the power and energy. It’s simply in the right place. I hope she gets more training or decides to drop out of the team. Abby is not going to continue to be nasty to her because she hates Holly and Nia’s dancing is not on par with the other girls. I don’t want to watch that.
I listened to Nia’s song the other day and Kendall’s. I could barely hear Kendall’s voice. Nina on the other hand has real talent. Out of all the girls including Brooke, Nia has the best voice. She really should be putting more time into singing because she may have a real shot.
I dont watch anymore since chloe left, but as i was flipping chanels, i saw the dancing so i watched the competition, i thought the other stufio WON FIRST. They were much better & did a routine that was out of the box. Abby would rather show this team up & win, rather than continuing to teach her girls better technique so they can continue to get better, & better. Its not aiways about the win.
I also think the production staff has the judges in their pockets, the group dance was the same ol, same ol, the other team was much better. Also kalani is soooooo much better than maddie. She has those beautiful legs that can do anything. her feet are great. Of course maddie did the same dance moves, just switched up. If the same judges were to judge each week, they would see maddie doing what she knows best, where kilani is much more versatle. Maddie is way OVER-EXPOSED. JILL IS SO STUPID. THERE IS NO WAY I WOULD SIT & KISS ABBYS BIG OL FAT @SS, WHEN ITS SO OBVIOUS THAT ABBY FAVORS MADDIE, & MEKENZIE.
THE WHOLE SHOW IS A FARCE!!!!!!!!
I so agree with you. The whole thing is a joke. Maddie is boring. When I watch the show I practically can tell every movement she is going to make. Every week the same. La lane is an excellent dancer. So elegant. And so was Chloe. They win because the whole show is a stupid joke.
And what kind of mothers are them???? Allowing abby to constantly mentally abuse their daughters. With mums like them who needs enemies???
