Michelle being in A Troupe is honestly confusing.

0:00:030:00:06

We don't let randoms walk in from the street and audition.

0:00:060:00:09

So, Michelle, are you going to audition to be dance captain?

0:00:090:00:12

I guess.

0:00:120:00:13

Now that she might lose her captaincy to a new girl...

0:00:130:00:16

I mean, what is going on?

0:00:160:00:19

This is MY captaincy at stake! So from the top.

0:00:190:00:22

I feel like she's way too threatened by Michelle.

0:00:220:00:24

The E Girl rules are very simple. Number one...

0:00:240:00:26

An E Girl always has another E Girl's back.

0:00:260:00:29

I'm pretty angry.

0:00:300:00:31

Stephanie's tanking it.

0:00:310:00:33

Stephanie throwing the dance is not cool.

0:00:330:00:35

Emily should have won fairly.

0:00:350:00:37

That was so not cool what you did to Michelle.

0:00:370:00:39

I have never stood up to my sister before.

0:00:390:00:41

Are you even an E Girl any more?

0:00:410:00:42

Attention, dancers! Attention, please.

0:00:550:00:57

Some exciting news. It looks like we are going to be

0:00:570:01:00

competing at a local dance competition this weekend.

0:01:000:01:03

CHEERING

0:01:030:01:04

We're going to a small competition this weekend. It's almost like

0:01:040:01:08

rehearsal for regionals.

0:01:080:01:10

We get to scope out the competition of, like,

0:01:100:01:12

the other studios around the area.

0:01:120:01:13

It'll give us a chance to go out

0:01:130:01:16

and get used to being on stage again.

0:01:160:01:18

We're going to switch it up a bit,

0:01:180:01:20

and I'm going to change the line positions.

0:01:200:01:23

You'll perform for Chris and I and then I'll make the decision.

0:01:230:01:27

I don't know what Kate is trying to pull right now, but there is

0:01:270:01:29

no way I'm letting her take this responsibility away from me.

0:01:290:01:32

I AM the dance captain.

0:01:320:01:35

# We...

0:01:350:01:37

# We're going to show the world

0:01:370:01:41

# Everything we're made of

0:01:410:01:44

# We're going to tear the roof off this place.

0:01:440:01:47

# Stand up. #

0:01:570:01:58

The dance positions are usually made up by the dance captain

0:02:130:02:15

and the dance captain is me, right?

0:02:150:02:18

It's true, Emily, but I just feel like there's a lot of tension

0:02:180:02:21

in the air, and it's probably best if the positions come

0:02:210:02:24

from Chris and I.

0:02:240:02:25

How are the dancers supposed to trust me,

0:02:250:02:27

or even respect me,

0:02:270:02:29

if you keep taking away my responsibilities

0:02:290:02:31

as dance captain?

0:02:310:02:33

Emily is dance captain, and I think it's up to me

0:02:330:02:35

and Kate to just let her do what she needs to do.

0:02:350:02:37

She knows what she's doing, and I know she wants to win.

0:02:370:02:40

OK, fine. You can set the dance positions.

0:02:400:02:43

-Remember our main objective.

-Do what's best for the team.

0:02:430:02:46

Ms Kate, I always do what's best for MY team.

0:02:460:02:49

So, I heard you were choreographing for J Troupe.

0:02:570:03:00

-What's up with that?

-I'm going to work with them later on.

0:03:000:03:03

Dan just joined A Troupe and already he wants to choreograph?

0:03:030:03:06

The E Girls can't let him have that much power.

0:03:060:03:09

-You know I did that before?

-No.

0:03:090:03:11

Yeah, you know what they're like? (They're crazy.)

0:03:110:03:14

-No...

-But you'll be fine. You'll be fine. You'll be fine.

0:03:140:03:17

Well, no, what do you mean?

0:03:170:03:19

E Girl rule number 46:

0:03:190:03:21

Never let anyone else in A Troupe look too good.

0:03:210:03:23

You're tense now. I can sense it.

0:03:230:03:25

-Well, you've got me all nervous!

-They'll sense that.

0:03:250:03:27

They'll sniff it out. Have fun. OK.

0:03:270:03:29

-Be fun. Don't be like this. Like a robot, like...

-OK.

-OK.

0:03:290:03:33

I'm a little shaken up.

0:03:330:03:35

If they rattled her up, they're going to tear me apart.

0:03:350:03:38

All right, everybody! Are you ready?

0:03:380:03:41

The order is, Chloe, Tiffany, Daniel, Eldon, James,

0:03:410:03:44

Stephanie, Riley, Michelle, then West.

0:03:440:03:46

I'm holding auditions for the dance placements

0:03:460:03:48

for this weekend's competition.

0:03:480:03:50

# Hey, you, what do you say?

0:03:500:03:52

# I been thinking about you since yesterday. #

0:03:520:03:54

She just has to earn her place, though. You know? She's new.

0:03:540:03:57

Dance placement is an indicator for the hierarchy in the dance studio.

0:03:570:04:00

The only thing I wish is she'd put more technical

0:04:020:04:05

things in her routine.

0:04:050:04:06

Oh! That was sick. That was really cool.

0:04:110:04:13

If you were placed in the front row, it basically means that

0:04:130:04:15

you're one of the strongest dancers.

0:04:150:04:18

And if you're in the back, it's kind of like a diss.

0:04:180:04:21

I'm pretty confident that I'm going to be in the front row.

0:04:230:04:26

Not only am I Emily's best friend,

0:04:260:04:28

I'm also one of the best dancers in the troupe.

0:04:280:04:30

# And I run cos my world keeps crumbling

0:04:300:04:33

# And the gloves in my hand keep thundering

0:04:330:04:35

# But I know one day is all I need

0:04:350:04:37

# All I know is you can't get next to me. #

0:04:370:04:40

But let's, er...

0:04:400:04:41

Let's take some points off of that really creepy look.

0:04:410:04:44

Nice. Nice.

0:04:500:04:52

Oh.

0:04:550:04:56

I am dancing terribly. I'm forgetting everything.

0:04:580:05:02

I've never danced this bad before in my life.

0:05:020:05:05

Riley usually gets nervous. She's very shy.

0:05:050:05:08

But she's an amazing dancer and I know she'll be OK.

0:05:080:05:11

Good job! Whoo! Go, Riley!

0:05:130:05:15

Back row, here I come.

0:05:150:05:16

All right. Michelle, let's go.

0:05:180:05:20

# ..In the big, blue sky... #

0:05:220:05:25

She's not footing that turn.

0:05:250:05:26

# I'm ready to try if you want it

0:05:260:05:29

# Don't worry, I'll catch you when you're falling... #

0:05:290:05:31

-That jump could've been higher.

-It was really high.

0:05:310:05:34

Could have been higher.

0:05:340:05:36

# I'm waiting, I'm waiting... #

0:05:360:05:38

I'm pulling out some of my best tricks, and I really hope

0:05:380:05:41

that Emily and Stephanie are impressed.

0:05:410:05:44

Oh, another flip.

0:05:440:05:45

All right. Can we gather around?

0:05:490:05:51

Michelle is unreal. She is so good.

0:05:510:05:55

I think she's going to be in the front row, if not front and centre.

0:05:550:05:58

Everyone, attention!

0:05:580:06:00

I'm going to go run this by Kate and Chris,

0:06:000:06:02

get their opinion on it and see if they think it's fair.

0:06:020:06:06

You know, I'm not really sure where I'm going to be placed in the dance.

0:06:060:06:09

I know that I'm new here and that I have to earn my spot.

0:06:090:06:12

-Excuse me.

-Hey.

-Hey, how are you?

0:06:120:06:15

I want the dancers to think that we're getting Kate and Chris' input

0:06:150:06:18

for dance placements. But we're not.

0:06:180:06:20

Actually, what I came to talk to you about is there's a light...

0:06:200:06:25

somewhere out there that's just done.

0:06:250:06:27

It's completely gone out.

0:06:270:06:29

OK. Do you know which one it is?

0:06:290:06:30

-They're pointing.

-Or is it?

0:06:300:06:33

I'm happy that Emily is going to Kate

0:06:330:06:34

and Chris about the line placements, cos I know that it will be

0:06:340:06:37

a fair decision and an unbiased decision.

0:06:370:06:39

-Got that, Chris?

-Yeah, safety is important.

0:06:390:06:41

Yeah, safety is 110% important.

0:06:410:06:44

Safety is super important.

0:06:440:06:46

I'm glad they came to me about the light bulb, although I've

0:06:460:06:49

never seen them so concerned about the condition of the studio.

0:06:490:06:52

# You know you want to dance

0:06:520:06:55

# Just take a chance. #

0:06:550:06:56

All right everybody.

0:06:590:07:01

Attention! I have in my hands our line positions.

0:07:010:07:04

Back it up, and I'll tell you what they are.

0:07:040:07:06

Stephanie, you're here.

0:07:060:07:09

Me being in the front is no surprise, really, to me.

0:07:090:07:12

I mean, I work hard and I'm a great dancer and I'm Emily's best friend.

0:07:120:07:16

Eldon.

0:07:160:07:17

Chloe, back row beside Tiffany.

0:07:210:07:22

I'm shocked. I thought I did a little bit better than back row.

0:07:220:07:26

I will be here. Riley, you're in the front.

0:07:260:07:31

Me in the front row?

0:07:310:07:32

Something's going on, because there's no way that that dance

0:07:320:07:36

that I just did is front row material.

0:07:360:07:38

I put Riley in the front because she's my sister.

0:07:380:07:41

I'm going to give her a chance and she deserves it.

0:07:410:07:43

I know she's a good dancer and I know she'll work hard.

0:07:430:07:46

Michelle, you can stay where you are. Back row.

0:07:460:07:50

The fact that Michelle is in the back row really surprises me.

0:07:500:07:54

I know that I'm new here and that I have to earn my spot,

0:07:540:07:57

so I guess it's OK that I'm in the back.

0:07:570:08:00

All right, everybody. I'm going to need you to back it up,

0:08:120:08:15

and all I'm looking for now is cleanliness in the arms.

0:08:150:08:17

Just be sharp and be there, OK?

0:08:170:08:19

I don't know what my sister is up to.

0:08:190:08:21

I guess she's maybe a little jealous of Michelle.

0:08:210:08:24

All I know is that me and Michelle should definitely be switched.

0:08:240:08:28

Being in the front row is throwing me off.

0:08:340:08:36

I've never been in the front row before.

0:08:360:08:38

I don't see anyone in front of me to, like, follow along with,

0:08:380:08:41

so I'm trying to follow my sister.

0:08:410:08:43

# So addicted to you

0:08:430:08:44

# There's nothing that I won't do

0:08:460:08:49

# To feel you

0:08:490:08:50

# I'm so addicted to you

0:08:500:08:52

# I only really want to

0:08:530:08:56

# Be near you. #

0:08:560:08:58

I think Riley's really overwhelmed with being in the front row.

0:08:580:09:01

It's her first time and I know that feeling,

0:09:010:09:04

and I just want my sister to be OK.

0:09:040:09:06

What's going on? What's going on?

0:09:060:09:07

You're nervous to be in the front row?

0:09:070:09:09

Oh, I get it, I get it.

0:09:090:09:11

When it was my turn up there, I was so nervous, Ry.

0:09:110:09:13

Like, don't worry, OK? You'll get there.

0:09:130:09:15

-Well, I just...

-You want a break? OK! No, no.

0:09:150:09:18

-No, we can give you a break.

-But...

0:09:180:09:20

Riley, you're my sister.

0:09:200:09:22

All right, let's take a break, everyone!

0:09:220:09:24

Emily calling a break for me just shows that she's delusional.

0:09:240:09:28

She doesn't see that I'm not getting the choreograph

0:09:280:09:30

because I shouldn't be in the front row, Michelle should.

0:09:300:09:33

Yeah, let's go get some juice!

0:09:330:09:35

I think the break will allow Riley

0:09:350:09:36

to calm down, collect herself, and then she'll be perfect.

0:09:360:09:41

# I only really want to

0:09:410:09:44

# Be near you. #

0:09:440:09:45

Hi, boys and girls. I'm Daniel.

0:09:510:09:54

After talking to Tiffany, I'm really, really nervous

0:09:540:09:57

about working with the J Troupe.

0:09:570:09:59

-I'm thinking that today...

-You know we speak English, right?

0:09:590:10:03

Yeah, sorry. Erm...

0:10:030:10:05

I told the J Troupers if they give

0:10:050:10:07

Daniel a hard time, they get to dance for A Troupe.

0:10:070:10:09

Like this, really fast.

0:10:090:10:10

-Um, excuse me? I have a question.

-Sure.

0:10:100:10:14

Do you even know what you're doing?

0:10:140:10:16

You're like, "No, I don't know what I'm doing, help me out."

0:10:160:10:19

We're not going to follow along unless you know all of our names.

0:10:190:10:23

I don't think I like you.

0:10:230:10:25

I didn't think it would be this difficult.

0:10:250:10:27

They can't even pick up a few steps.

0:10:270:10:28

I'm really, really not sure what I should try to get through to them.

0:10:280:10:32

Yo, Riley, Riley.

0:10:420:10:44

Can you tell me what tangent is again?

0:10:440:10:46

-Sine of a cosine.

-Sine of a cosine?

-Yeah.

0:10:460:10:48

-Hey, I got you something.

-OK.

0:10:500:10:53

-It's from the top of a mountain.

-The top of a mountain?

0:10:530:10:56

Like, the top of a mountain. Like, Rocky Mountains.

0:10:560:10:59

-Oh, water bottle?

-Yeah.

0:11:010:11:03

SHE LAUGHS

0:11:030:11:04

It's natural spring mountain water.

0:11:040:11:06

Mmm, got it.

0:11:060:11:08

He's probably the only person at the studio who'll tell me

0:11:090:11:12

his honest opinion, and the brutal truth,

0:11:120:11:14

which is what I need right now.

0:11:140:11:16

-Can I ask you something?

-Yeah, sure.

0:11:170:11:21

Do you think I should be in the front row?

0:11:210:11:24

OK, honestly?

0:11:270:11:28

Honestly.

0:11:300:11:32

I kind of like the fact that Riley asked for my opinion.

0:11:320:11:34

I mean, why come to me?

0:11:340:11:36

Seriously, I think Michelle should be in the front row.

0:11:380:11:43

-I mean, no offence.

-No. I... Thank you for being honest.

0:11:430:11:47

I just needed to hear it.

0:11:470:11:50

OK.

0:11:520:11:53

It kind of hurts a little bit.

0:11:550:11:58

I thought, you know, maybe he thought

0:11:580:12:00

I should be in the front row.

0:12:000:12:01

But it's the truth and that's

0:12:010:12:02

what I wanted to hear and it's what I needed to hear.

0:12:020:12:04

-OK, guys, so can we take it from the top?

-No.

0:12:140:12:16

-We're taking it from the top. Hop up, please.

-We're bored.

0:12:160:12:19

-How about we go through with music? That's fun.

-We have.

0:12:190:12:22

These kids are rotten.

0:12:220:12:23

They are not listening to me at all, and it's really, really hard.

0:12:230:12:27

Please get up. I just want to make your dance the best it can be.

0:12:270:12:29

-It's not me on stage, it's you.

-Thank gosh it's not you on stage.

0:12:290:12:32

LAUGHTER

0:12:320:12:33

All right, J Troupe, get up! Rehearsal starts now, get up.

0:12:330:12:37

Get up!

0:12:370:12:39

I'm coming into Studio B because I can tell Daniel's had enough.

0:12:390:12:42

There's no way he's going to want to choreograph our J Troupe again.

0:12:420:12:45

One and two, and three, and four, and five, and six.

0:12:450:12:47

We'll work on that part later.

0:12:470:12:49

One, two, three, four...

0:12:490:12:51

Ever since Tiffany walked in, the J Troupers are really motivated,

0:12:510:12:54

and I think this routine is going to be really good.

0:12:540:12:57

I made Daniel's life miserable and now he loves me.

0:12:570:13:00

I'm such an E Girl.

0:13:000:13:01

-Kate?

-Hey, Riley, what's up?

0:13:040:13:06

Hi. Um, erm...I just wanted to get your thoughts on something.

0:13:060:13:09

Sure.

0:13:090:13:10

Emily got Kate's approval on the line order,

0:13:100:13:13

so I just wanted to figure out why she put me in the front row.

0:13:130:13:17

I didn't. I didn't approve the line-up.

0:13:170:13:19

I don't know why Riley thought I approved the line-up.

0:13:190:13:22

Emily never spoke to me about any of this.

0:13:220:13:25

I thought she came in and talked to you about it.

0:13:250:13:27

She made that decision on her own.

0:13:270:13:29

Like, if you click it, it gives you options.

0:13:360:13:39

The thing is that I didn't do that the last time so...

0:13:390:13:41

Em, can we talk?

0:13:410:13:42

Well, it's E Girls, like, sit and talk.

0:13:440:13:47

As sisters, though. Like, just alone.

0:13:470:13:49

Oh, sister thing. OK, I'll be back.

0:13:490:13:51

I talked to Kate. She told me she had no input in the line order.

0:13:550:13:59

And you didn't even confront her about it?

0:13:590:14:01

Well, no. I thought it was a good order.

0:14:010:14:03

I just think me and Michelle should be switched.

0:14:030:14:06

Well, I disagree.

0:14:060:14:08

I think she needs to earn her place, just like everybody else did.

0:14:080:14:10

-OK. She deserves to be in the front row.

-Riley.

0:14:100:14:13

-I just want what's best for the team.

-Riley!

0:14:130:14:16

Here I am doing her a favour and she wants to rebuff it?

0:14:160:14:18

Well, I guess that's the last time I do anything for her.

0:14:180:14:21

I'm sticking up for you. Maybe have a little faith in me, OK?

0:14:210:14:24

I think I know what I have to do,

0:14:270:14:29

I just don't know if I can pull it off.

0:14:290:14:32

# Your smile

0:14:330:14:35

# Lights up my world

0:14:350:14:36

# I can't believe you are my girl. #

0:14:360:14:39

-Yo.

-Hey.

-How's it going?

0:14:410:14:43

Not so good. I mean, you were right.

0:14:450:14:47

I don't deserve to be in the front row.

0:14:470:14:50

But the funny thing is, Emily made the lines up by herself.

0:14:500:14:54

Kate had nothing to do with it.

0:14:540:14:57

I'm not surprised.

0:14:570:14:58

I know that Kate would have never approved that dance line-up.

0:14:580:15:01

-I don't know. I kind of have an idea.

-Do it.

0:15:010:15:04

It's kind of dangerous, what I'm thinking about doing,

0:15:040:15:08

so I don't know how it's going to work out.

0:15:080:15:11

I have no idea what Riley has in mind,

0:15:110:15:14

but I think she should do it. I think she should follow her heart.

0:15:140:15:17

All right, everybody, let's take our positions.

0:15:190:15:21

You should be warm by now.

0:15:210:15:22

Wait.

0:15:270:15:29

Stay in the front.

0:15:290:15:30

In this moment, I am standing up to my sister

0:15:340:15:37

and doing what's right.

0:15:370:15:39

Clearly she's trying to embarrass me in front of the whole troupe.

0:15:390:15:43

What are you doing?

0:15:440:15:45

What's right.

0:15:450:15:47

Kate had nothing to do with these line placements.

0:15:490:15:51

Emily did this all on her own.

0:15:510:15:53

And I clearly do not deserve to be in the front row, Michelle does.

0:15:530:15:57

How dare Riley call me in front of everybody!

0:15:570:16:00

Not only is she an E Girl, but she's MY sister.

0:16:000:16:03

I am really not pleased in being caught in the middle of Riley

0:16:030:16:07

and Emily. That's not my position to take.

0:16:070:16:10

Do you all agree with me?

0:16:100:16:11

Yeah.

0:16:130:16:15

When Riley stands up to her sister, it's surprising,

0:16:150:16:17

because no-one's ever stood up to Emily like that.

0:16:170:16:20

Yeah.

0:16:200:16:21

Yeah.

0:16:230:16:24

I applaud her, cos that was the right thing to do,

0:16:240:16:26

you know, for the team.

0:16:260:16:28

Sorry, sis, you're outvoted.

0:16:280:16:29

OK, that's fine.

0:16:290:16:32

I know in a few days she'll turn her focus to something else,

0:16:320:16:36

and she'll see my side of things eventually.

0:16:360:16:39

So, I'm in the front?

0:16:390:16:41

Yes.

0:16:430:16:44

OK, dancers, we have a lot of work to do on this dance still, OK?

0:16:450:16:49

We need to pick up the energy big time.

0:16:490:16:51

Good job on moving Michelle to the front.

0:16:510:16:52

You did the right thing.

0:16:520:16:54

"Good job, on the line placement. Michelle is beside you. Thank you."

0:16:540:16:58

-Thanks.

-OK, here we go!

0:16:580:17:00

One, two, three, four, five, six.

0:17:000:17:03

When you're a leader,

0:17:030:17:05

you have to lose little battles to win the big war.

0:17:050:17:08

So they better be prepared

0:17:080:17:09

for when I win that war, because I'm going to remember

0:17:090:17:12

what they did to me.

0:17:120:17:13

Let's go again.

0:17:130:17:14

One, two, three, J Troupe!

0:17:270:17:29

OK, so, I choreographed this routine for the J Troupe.

0:17:290:17:34

They have a huge competition this weekend.

0:17:340:17:36

Shout out to Tiffany for helping me out.

0:17:360:17:39

Here they are. Good luck, guys!

0:17:390:17:41

CHEERING

0:17:410:17:42

DANCE MUSIC

0:17:420:17:43

Yeah!

0:17:540:17:55

Whoo!

0:18:060:18:08

I'm really proud watching the J Troupe.

0:18:090:18:11

They are doing the dance awesomely.

0:18:110:18:13

CHEERING

0:18:280:18:29

My plan to mess with Daniel worked brilliantly,

0:18:310:18:34

because he learned his lesson and he thinks the E Girls are great.

0:18:340:18:37

I think he's been sufficiently schooled.

0:18:370:18:40

CHEERING

0:18:560:18:57

That was so good, you guys! So, so good.

0:18:570:19:00

I learned two things. One, that choreography is

0:19:000:19:02

really hard, and two, that I am never going

0:19:020:19:05

to try a stunt like that again.

0:19:050:19:07

Yeah, girl, those nails...

0:19:070:19:08

-Can we go this weekend?

-Yeah!

-Awesome.

0:19:080:19:11

I'm getting a little nervous,

0:19:170:19:18

because I can see the E Girl look in their eyes, and with that look

0:19:180:19:23

nothing ever ends well.

0:19:230:19:25

What's going on?

0:19:270:19:28

Look.

0:19:300:19:31

It seems like your interests lie outside of E Girls lately.

0:19:310:19:34

-I...

-No...

0:19:340:19:37

It's not up for discussion. Who wants Riley out of E Girls?

0:19:370:19:41

RILEY SCOFFS

0:19:440:19:45

She's my own sister, my family, and she just kicked me out.

0:19:480:19:54

She violated one of our main rules. We have to have each other's backs.

0:19:540:19:58

I did what was right and I got punished for it.

0:20:030:20:05

Me and my sister are definitely not going to be the same.

0:20:050:20:08

# We...

0:20:140:20:16

# We're going to show the world

0:20:160:20:20

# Everything we're made of

0:20:200:20:24

# We're going to tear the roof off this place

0:20:240:20:28

# You...

0:20:280:20:31

# You can never fade us out

0:20:310:20:35

# Don't even ask the DJ

0:20:350:20:38

# Everybody knows we own this house. #
