[@cellogirl20]

Damn... this could have been a nationals dance... compared to rich girl, another level entirely... amazing

[@cassieroberts2316]

cellogirl20 if this is what they are doing at this point in the season I can’t wait to see their nationals dance

[@amandadh4413]

tbh I don’t get , neither do i care to get it because it wasn’t that exciting

[@meganodea4260]

@@amandadh4413 its about school shootings sis

[@KazzleTheDazzle]

Mαndy De Hoyos It wasn’t ment to be exciting. It’s about school shootings. It’s supposed to expose people to what’s happening in our world, to children, teens, and teachers.

[@ashleighjackson7906]

amanda de hoyos it’s about school shootings and how people are (politics people) are saying thought and prayers and others are saying that won’t work

Lily has improved SO much since season 7. She is very technical and her face is just spot on!

[@Brooke208]

Agreed! Her dancing has matured quite a bit and her facial expressions are amazing!

[@gachaxoxo6386]

[@strawberryhouse325]

Rebecca Jankowski yeah but honestly they should stop forcing her to be lead like let it happen gracefully you know?

[@Idk-kf6nl]

Strawberry House yeah I feel like they are pushing her to do it.

[@ivannew9753]

Yes agreed, I think she improved a lot with her technique, she is much mature now and does all her dances so well

[@niyatisejpal5770]

I love how on the shirts the school is “Anytown USA” It’s saying that this could really happen to anyone.

[@jasminejohnson4850]

That’s such an important detail. I’m not the biggest fan of Abby but I will say that her attention to detail is amazing.

[@maccasatthedisco8232]

I didn’t watch the full episode what’s the dance about?

[@niyatisejpal5770]

Help I forgot to pray for The death of a bachelor It’s about mass shootings

[@maccasatthedisco8232]

Niyati Sejpal :o thanks

[@noheterokittie]

Oh I assumed that it might have been referencing Everytown , the organization.

[@yoongiluvr2078]

My studio did a dance like this it was called tragedy and triumph... we actually wore the uniform from the school who were affected by shootings. It was a powerful dance and we were all crying during our performance

Ok, this dance sends chills down my spine. It’s amazing.

[@chrissoookannshalt8687]

could you explain the dance ? I don't get the end with those posters 😅

[@dancemomskids1170]

Chrissööö Kannshalt it’s about people praying and hoping to god that nothing bad happens to them. (School shootings in particular) from what I remember

[@kaylaomans7998]

me too

[@daisychains2845]

Its about people having thoughts and praying that nothing bad happens but they don't really do anything to help all they do is thoughts and prayers thats where no more thoughts and prayers come it where they actually do something to help

[@bohemelavie1]

This dance was great but I wish they had done something else with Lily's costume.. It straight up looks like she forgot to wear pants!

[@willemijneggenkamp498]

Yes she had one in rehearsal

[@iicloudyiixx9128]

She didn’t have anything on just a leotard

[@bellameadows7556]

Ohh Abby’s gonna be mad if she hears this

[@randomuser9201]

Fr I know they want to look different but they couldn’t either done white jeans or a skirt. The dance was beautiful but It takes away from the dance if people are thinking “where are here pants”

[@khloenicole792]

@@randomuser9201 Yeah but i think they wanted the costumes to be more simple sense it was a dance with a serious topic

at the start i thought it was a remake of where have all of the children gone where they all did and dissapear and i thought lily was gonna die by her throat but it was still so good!

[@Elliemay2038]

This was such a beautiful dance. I was in tears over how perfect it was

[@mayvee001]

Elliemay Extra it gave me chills

[@nataliechew2181]

This dance just shows that Brady or any boy of any team doesn't have to always be the lead. the dance was amazing in my opinion.

[@seoyeon4191]

You're right

[@the_diminished_sixth]

I wasn’t offended by this at all. I think it’s an accurate representation of America today- unfortunately so, but it’s true.

[@nataliet5517]

Eve Levy I agree but some people in the audience or the judges might not understand it

[@ellamarie6554]

I couldn’t watch the episode, but I think I sort-of got an idea of the story from the dance. However, could you enlighten me?😂

[@tasfia6799]

You’re so right, gun control is so important, in America arguably anyone can buy a gun, anyone could be a school shooter. They say they need the guns for self defence, well if they didn’t have guns they wouldn’t need to defend themselves in some situations

[@googleemoji5134]

Ella Marie I haven’t watched the episode either but sorry if I am wrong I think it is a bout a school shooting

[@googleemoji5134]

Zoe K me too

[@malhalsey4994]

I looove Savannah’s move with the attitude pirouette right into the back flip; it’s graceful and sudden at the same time ❤️💕

Jeggings probs

[@mimieesong9499]

I think their jeggings too

[@chloe_3787]

This was amazingly thought out-more than I even realized. Down to the shirt color, Abby and Giana made every detail important. The red, the color of the Republican Party and far right, shirt girls held the “thoughts and prayers” sign and the blue, the color of the Democratic Party and far left, shirt girls held the “no more thoughts and prayers sign.”

[@Shanshan12988]

this was helpful since i dont really get american politics. What does thoughts and prayers mean? and what does lilliana represent?

[@kieralucash5605]

@@Shanshan12988 usually when there's a school shooting everyone posts about their thoughts and prayers for the victims. the no more thoughts and prayers is said by people who want to take action (i.e. banning certain kinds of guns, increasing the gun purchasing process, etc.) instead

[@chloe_3787]

Angel Sparkles like it was said, people often tweet “thoughts and prayers” after mass shootings that seem to have become routine. Even the educated, distinguished man none other than Donald Trump himself (those adjectives were sarcastic if you could tell) often addresses the epidemic in America with “thoughts and prayers.” That phrase is used by the right because they don’t want the left to “take their guns.” “No more thoughts and prayers” was a phrase adopted by the left and used by those who believe something needs to actually be done. Solely from watching the episode, Lily represents someone who doesn’t know where she stands yet.

[@nomisteamboat3264]

@@Shanshan12988 to add on to Kiera's statement, take for example the Marjory Stoneman Douglas shooting, which I'm kinda assuming Brady was closest to since he lives in Miami and this was in Parkland. At the beginning there were only thoughts and prayers, like every other shooting. The Douglas kids decided to take action, decided they wanted more than just thoughts and prayers, and it really showed. It was a very strong political piece that Abby did, and with the experience of this situation I have, she did a very good job presenting it.

To me, thoughts and prayers are the first step to acknowledging a crisis. After that, we do have to try to do something. We all have a voice that survivors need. Standing by means you stand with the enemy.

Mellissa Smith it’s about gun reform , one side of the issue is about “thoughts and prayers” and the other one is about “no thoughts and prayers” Lily is sort of on the fence and the whole dance is about her being caught in the middle, if that makes sense.
