Dance Moms: Group Dance: "Is There Still Hope?" (Season 7, Episode 14) | Lifetime

[@latenightburritos8006]

Yo Kalani’s overdose at the end actually made me cry. Not everyone agrees with Abby’s teaching techniques but you have to give it to her, she’s creative and knows how to touch a large group of people through choreography.

[@arapadapa]

Late Night Burritos I cried so hard during this dance. Abby has made me close to crying before with her choreography, but this takes the cake. I love Kenzie and Maddie, but this just shows how good they can be without them.

[@ht.2003]

the slight eye roll and smirk kalani does at the end is such a small but amazing touch. it adds so much for me especially in the last few seconds of the dance, asking if there’s still hope but still finding joy in your vices

[@lolliecandy]

concept is such a touchy subject but they potrayed it beautifully. kendall has improved so much, brynn and kalani were absolutely gorgeous in this, and their emotions were on point. what a gorgeous way to end the season, really enjoyed this dance.

[@thesophieshow171]

lolliecandy what was the subject

[@emmapeterson1650]

Sella Show Kalani was addicted to heroine, Brynn had an eating disorder, Camryn was a prostitute, Nia was in a gang, and Kendall had schizophrenia

[@BabyBunch]

when did schizophrenia become an addiction..i was kinda lost on that

[@iyearn1993]

Baby Bunch I don't think it was meant as an addiction themed dance. more like, different points of life that can bring you to your death. more of a "poor life decisions" dance.

[@onix731992]

Baby Bunch I think Kendall was lost in her own head and couldn't come back to reality like some mental disorders that struggle with suicidal thought I think Kendall was portraying that emotion.

This dance just slayed my entire life. I have seen many comments saying that Kendall doesn't show emotion and I kind of agree with that. But in this dance she showed so much emotion and power. wow. all the girls were flawless and abby's choreography was absolutely beautiful. Definitely a national title worthy group dance.

[@luvmeganandliz101]

Debolina Kundu Kendall does need to work on her emotion, but I think she did amazingly well here. They don't zoom in on her enough to tell a lot, but there's definitely parts she shined in. Right at the beginning and end you can really see her face and it's great.

[@crIms0ngen]

She definitely did well in the crazy role. She has her mom as a good example to model from, though. :) It helps. lol

[@Jolie-rs7tk]

I agree, certain parts were ok and i could see that she was showing some emotion....but she always seems to look like shes out of breath and tired

maybe, it's part of the acting because her role is a schizophrenic...

I really appreciate the intense characterization in this piece, it’s so impressive how much they could express through choreography. So many clever details keep me watching this dance over and over again - like how often Kalani and Brynn dance together and interact in this piece where as the others don’t necessarily interact with one another showing the overlap between eating disorders and drug abuse.

[@lilpuppy8113]

Camryn really blew me away in this. She had such a hard character and still portrayed it with innocence some how. She was spot on. And I have to say Brynn was perfect at her part. Kalani was also brilliant. All the girls did their part with the acting in this dance okay, I loved it LOL

[@alaskapartida4656]

It’s being like ten minutes and I still can’t process this dance..

[@estheradebiyi6406]

Camryn - sexual abuse Kalani - heroine addiction Brynn - anorexia Nia - in the episode Abby said she sold drugs but it's looked by like a steroids addition to me with the costuming Kendal - it's that illness where people hear voices I think it's called schizophrenia (These are all just guesses from my point of view may not be correct)

[@bellaclement2340]

Nia is a gang member, she gets shot.

[@bellaclement2340]

Kendalls character has schizophrenia, a mental illness that gives you hallucinations and psychotic breaks. After Brynn dies of starvation, she cant take reality and her body shuts down. After that, Kalani shoots up again and overdoses.

[@paige2180]

Zoe Garcia she didn't have a seizure she overdosed

[@likeabunnie]

Zoe Garcia THANK YOU... I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE!!! Like... People can have seizures (I have several loved ones with seizure disorders, so I've watched this dance... Uh, lots of times, haha... I stopped counting...but I had to look away at the end most of the times at first, cause it scared me. No judgement on Kalani, because she did as she was directed, and clearly portrayed it VERY realistically, I just would have freaked if I were in the audience (though maybe since it's for the show, they were able to tell the judges/audience that it's ok and its acting)... I was glad to see how Kalani did seem very respectful and take it appropriately serious... But I also would be concerned about the real world implications... People tend to freeze when they see someone seizing and not know what to do* (even in a hospital I've seen staff slow to know how to respond), and I have a brother who's seizures, thank God, have become rare, but when he was younger he would have seizures where he stopped breathing, which is a BIG deal, since your brain needs oxygen (and it's honestly likely why he has intellectual disability with his autism... I can't imagine it not being a factor at least)... But if I'm not sure if someone is or isn't seizing, I would much rather be wrong than not respond (which, in a group setting, people tend to assume that someone else will respond to emergency situation, which leads to what's been called the "bystander effect", where if a large number of people see an emergency, they assume someone has called for ems, and it has led to instances where dozens or hundreds of people witness a person in distress/being assulted/raped/etc, and because they are around so many others, everyone assumes that ems has been called, when in reality no one had done anything to call for help. Anyways, I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed... And I hope that this doesn't ever result in people witnessing someone having a medical problem during a performance and assuming it's part of an act... I imagine the coach or someone would be present and aware to ensure the person gets help (though I've been knocked unconscious before at a marching band competition as a member of the color guard/(aka "flag team"if you're old school), and it was not at an obvious point in the show, so my instructors/director didn't notice it... I was fine (ish lol... Got a pretty bad concussion and not getting medical attention asap likely didn't help, but I was ok, it certainly could have gone much worse)... Point being that someone things do happen and your coach may not see or be able to be present, or maybe they freeze (it happens in emergencies)... If I had been in the audience, though, I would have gotten up from my seat and been walking in that direction at a minimum, though, because it DOES look like she's having an actual medical emergency, and it didn't continue too long, so people likely would have just started being concerned when they saw she was fine, but that would have seriously stressed me out, even after she walked off stage, I would be worried about if it was staged or real... I'm all for artistry, but I really... Sincerely hope that my knowledge of emergency response and degree in psychology are just making me overly concerned that this portrayal could potentially have real life consequences in the event that a performer is in need of medical attention and it is delayed due to this being on TV and somewhat normalizing the very realistic portrayal of a sometimes life threatening medical condition... Regardless, it definately freaked me out, even just watching it on TV (/my phone, lol)

*IF YOU EVER WITNESS A PERSON HAVING A SEIZURE (for real): -CALL 911 or have someone else call, make sure it's clear WHO SPECIFICALLY is calling 911 [or your country's emergency number] -ENSURE THE PERSON IS SAFE: lower them to the floor if they are in danger of falling, move hard/sharp objects away from the person to minimize/prevent them from being injured during the seizure, if possible you may try to put something soft under the person's head if it is a hard surface -DO NOT PUT ANYTHING IN THEIR MOUTH: They will *not* swallow their tongue, but can easily choke, break teeth, or be caused other significant injuries from an object being forced in their mouth, regardless of past misinformation you may have heard, it's far more dangerous than doing nothing at all. NEVER PUT ANYTHING IN THEIR MOUTH. -DO NOT RESTRAIN/RESTRICT MOVEMENT: After ensuring that medical help is on the way and that the person is safe from falling and that any furniture or heavy/sharp objects have been removed from the area, just monitor the person and be sure they are safe. While it may be frightening to watch, and they may end up with some bumps and bruises from their movements, it can be much more dangerous if you attempt to restrain them. If you have concern about a particular area of their body being hit against the ground, you can help by placing something soft between their body and the floor/ground to minimize the impact (a coat, purse, or bag can work, or even removing your shoe if it is fairly flat and soft, like a flip flop or sneaker, can help absorb some of the shock). Remember, they aren't conscious or in control of their movements so you could cause dislocations etc if you attempt to keep them from moving... You could also be unintentionally injured as well. -LOOK AT THE TIME: it's not the most essential thing to remember, but if you are able to keep track of approximately how long the seizure has lasted it can help medical personnel -NOTE: If you know someone has a seizure disorder and have been instructed by them in administering medication/device to bring them out of the seizure, and you are confused or unsure of the situation, call 911 for guidance. If the seizure has lasted more than 5 minutes, call 911. If the person continues to come out of the seizure and then another begins, call 911. IF AT ANY POINT THE PERSON SEEMS TO STOP BREATHING OR HAVE BLUE LIPS/NAIL BEDS/OTHERWISE SEEMS TO BE HAVING TERRIBLE BREATHING DURING THE SEIZURE, CALL 911. If in doubt, or things just seem off, even if you've been trained in the appropriate response but feel there is something wrong, call 911. If you are aware that someone may have a seizure disorder (who is having a seizure and unable to respond) and you have not been instructed by the person on how to respond to their seizure, call 911.

xoxo gossip girl you're correct that she overdosed, but the overdose was shown by portraying her having a seizure (which can occur during an OD or other problems from drug use, though one doesn't nessecarily have a seizure during an overdose, nor are seizures only caused by drug overdose)... So you're both correct, Kalani was portraying a seizure as a result of the drug reaction/overdose ;)

[@niamhconnole8039]

Personally I think Cameyn nailed it. You could see the pain as she danced even when she was acting sultry. Her character was so believable

[@reioleinus9141]

This is the dance where i was like: YUP Abby actually knows how to make dances. This is my favorite dance by them so far. I am crying :):

[@joanne5694]

Watching Nia made me cry. She has grown so much as a dancer, and as a person. Her emotions were on point, and I'm so proud of her❤

[@k.nicole9452]

Okay but Kendall’s fall at the end was amazing

[@sarahdwyer5295]

Their technique in this dance was absolutely flawless

[@neenatstevens1468]

my uncle has schizophrenia and this dance really touched me so much and truly showed so much emotion. I am so glad I watched this x

[@ALDCSunshine]

The concept of this was beautiful, it's amazing that Abby and Gianna were able to choreograph and imagine a Nationals winning dance in just a few days. The girls have really improved, and seeing a Nationals without Maddie really shows the improvement of the girls. Once Maddie (and Kenzie) were gone, the girls really got more chances to improve, and more attention from Abby. The only critique I can make is that it seems the costume budget was completely blown on Kalani, Kendall, and Camryn, but I think the costumes fit the theme wonderfully without much embellishment. Congratulations to the girls, they were amazing.

[@aliciafletcher9739]

I love this dance so much. You can see how much they've all grown. Kalani is spectacular and Brynn and Kendall's portrayal of their characters really stood out to me. And the song made the dance even more emotional.

[@FKAmanda]

Ouw I'm without words, this was absolutely incredible, this was really good. Everything was on point, the choreography, the emotion, the history behind the dance. I mean, everyone stood out. They all did a excellent job. And Kalani at the end and Kendall really improved. And the others were great as well. You go girls

[@brookehenderson5762]

This dance was so powerful. Such a beautiful portrayal - this was such a good episode all around And as someone whose been afflicted by many of those things in my past, I found it so respectful & touching. They didn't go too far, it was chilling but it was real. It wouldn't have hit the same, particularly to those they are portraying, if they didn't push the boundary. Trust

[@hanniux_perusquia]

I got chills watching this group dance, it’s my favorite season 7 dance and my favorite group from the show, every girl’s acting and passion shine. This dance reminds me like mental health, addiction, eating disorders

[@daniellecostanzo2974]

when they all started "dying off" and they set brynn down i was speechless by far my favorite ALDC group dance.

[@eliyefoxy7959]

When I dance I would wish it'd be as emotional and beautiful as Maddie and connect with the judges. I'd hope I'd look as pretty as Kendall on stage. I'd hope I'd be as flexible and have beautiful long legs as graceful as Brynn. I'd hope I was as technical as Kalani. I'd hope I show passion like JOJO. I'd hope I make everyone smile when I dance, like Mackenzie. I would hope to be strong and dedicated on stage like Nia. I'd hope to flow my moves like Camryn. And I'd especially hope I made all these dancers stronger, just like Abby Lee. ❤️️

[@virginiamae7913]

fr though brynns legs are serious goals

[@peytonlee16]

The best nationals dance they could have ever done

[@rinr7516]

I think this group dance will forever be my favorite, everything about it was done so perfectly

[@JenniferEkstowicz]

Kalanis marks on her arm are such a great touch

[@chanellemaxfield9785]

This dance was absolutely amazing and definitely went up there with “Where have all the children gone” and “The last text”. Those dances gave such great messages and Abby told the story amazingly through these dancers.

[@RoyalhighPrincessSun]

The flinch at the end broke my heart.

[@nashhsan5691]

I've watched this like a hundred times already yet I still get goosebumps.

[@cartoons.and.cookies]

this dance invokes so many emotions and i can never take my eyes off of brynn. i had an eating disorder that started when i was twelve and she did such a beautiful and heart wrenching job of portraying it.

[@e.mmacarr]

Camryn is a beautiful dancer. She always catches my eye.

[@alexisjohn9984]

No matter how many times I watch this, I always get chills

[@hadley269]

People tend to forget that this dance was choreographed at the last minute, they were planning on doing a dance about cancer..... 🤭

[@aadyapanday6049]

Is this laughing

[@hadley269]

@@aadyapanday6049 oh no not at all! It just shows how even more amazing this dance and these girls are, that they were able to pull together at the last minute!

[@ghuncho4398]

This dance is actually stunning they all performed their characters brilliantly, I am in tears!!

[@xxslee001xx]

The more I watch this piece, the more I love it! It's just such a stunning and emotional number. All the years of Dance Moms building up to this moment 💓

[@Person-zx9rb]

This dance is so beautiful, every time I watch it I cry.

[@thatbitch6426]

I'm really proud of Kendall. She used to always want to play the pretty roles with pretty makeup and pretty costumes, but now she's really taking on bigger roles with more interesting back stories and executing them flawlessly. I just love her

[@giannax3653]

Favorite group dance of all time. Brynn and Kalani both drew my eye, and Kendall really improved on her acting. Makes me cry every time

[@jkelsey89]

Its dances like these that have inspired me to want to be a dance choreographer like this. Its beautiful! So well choreographed and danced. All of the girls did amazing and brought tears to me and probably everyone who watched this.

[@riafarooq1067]

I love everything about this dance. Everyone’s mesmerizing acting, the song, the lift with Brynn, and everyone’s acting in the end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS MY FAVORITE GROUP DANCE OF ALL TIME!!!!

[@AvaMariaSafai]

Ria Farooq Thank you!

[@nichekinz1446]

Late comment but is no one gonna talk about kalani’s face before she ODs at the end, it gave me the chills. So sad🤧

[@sophiesmythe7607]

This is my calling. I watch this dance like everyday. Their emotions are so real, they really told a story and they absolutely slayed. The girls have been through so much and they have come so far, for them to make such a touchy subject so beautiful is really very talented and the fact that chloe is watching and getting emotional over it is just so lovely. I've been watching these girls almost all my life, I practically grew up with them! Deepest respect x

[@helen4301]

For sure one of my favourite group dance ever!!

[@ariana.williams]

after makenzie and maddie left i honestly think the choreography got better than it ever could be

[@preciousxd7687]

Its amazing how they dance and know what they are doing

[@taylorswiftandhercabbageha7008]

This is the best ALDC dance in Dance Moms history... it’s so memorable!

[@yarenciv1284]

Wow Brynn!! Lines, emotions and that grand jete were on point 😍 you're a goddess

[@ambercassa286]

This dance always seems to find its way to me at my darkest of times as I’m wondering if there is still hope.. this dance will forever bring tears to my eyes

[@paige8357]

My favorite group dance. Love the music and the girls acting is insane.

[@AdityaAditya-mp3so]

I'm crying this dance is beautiful
