Alaina B well when you’re sitting all day and watching over 100 kids doing very similar dances it can get annoying

[@chonalynguiyab433]

Alaina B chem

[@dessypapp6452]

Isa Cappellanti but it's satisfying...

[@isacappellanti6510]

I enjoy it, but most kids are doing strictly audition pieces that have been choreographed to determine wether or not they’ll make it into a program I enjoy watching dances just not audition pieces because they’re normally choreographed just with certain criteria

[@gabrielajones4030]

Ikr lol

[@FlawlessSelMarie]

It is a ballet audition and the kids were all doing acro tricks! No wonder Chloe was the only one who got the scholarship!

[@dessypapp6452]

FlawlessSelMarie they were auditioning in different categories Brooke got the Acro scholarship, Chloe got Ballet then Maddie got contemporary

[@cambi2797]

Srishti Sanyal no it doesn’t have acro it has flexibility but it’s not flips and stuff

[@mandapanda1804]

[@sydneydotson5695]

I think they did acrobatic ballet

[@fsmeli]

Question:... If this is a Joffrey *Ballet* Audition? Why did Abby assign like acro.. or something way off the topic of Ballet?

[@saysomethingaldcsbiggestfa792]

brøken. vïbeż there was more than one scholarship award, such as modern and acro

[@rosediamond4132]

Some acro is used in ballet, but not like what Brooke and McKenzie used. The only one of those girls with actual ballet potential was Chloe. She has the build and for for it. Maddie is too short in the legs for ballet and wouldn't look right.

[@Limegreenbunny]

If u ask me she wanted certain people to have more a chance?

[@lalalallalalallalala]

cryinq clouds bc DRAMA

[@downtown82]

RoseDiamond 413 Back when they were little kids. These days Chloe would be cut after a first round. Her physicality is not of a dancer. Very little turnout, shoulders to broad and her neck is too short etc.

[@T._.liu.]

In rehearsal today our teacher told us "Turn out, point your toes, no ginchy arms. Do it right or I'm putting you on Dance Moms

[@horseluver51000]

I love the fact that Maddi got some critique about some very real technical issues that she always had. Plus the fact that she is always performing and never really dancing. She was known to rush through a lot of her movements instead of actually feeling the feelings of the song she was always very performative and I’m glad that they called her out for her issues.

[@gabinocoronado1551]

The makeup is not important its your talent

[@elenacaplinger780]

in some dance auditions heavy makeup like that is actually prohibited. Usually it's because they don't want to give the impression that a girl can win on her looks.

[@maketn.8207]

Lena Caplinger that’s how it was for our tumbling auditions. We were told if we could to wear makeup but it had to be natural tho

[@bayleymartin9368]

@@elenacaplinger780 your right

[@emmad4693]

It’s about be classy and elegant though. On stage people admire natural beauties that have beautiful technique. The makeup makes it seem amateur or kiddish

[@subscribee9792]

Chloe is a beautiful, graceful dancer, who doesn't do acro in a ballet audition! so that's why she got that scholarship.

[@NotJoegoldberg]

awww lil Kenzie's was sooo adorable!!!

[@Rose-un3hs]

The lady judge looks like the headmistress from monsters university lol

[@cayden1503]

To be honest, I think Chloe deserved getting it because it was like almost she was the only one actually doing ballet!

And maddie

[@elianac2270]

Oh my god Mackenzie is so cute xD She was like *HEY Abby taught me how shake my bum bum and i do it pretty well >:(*
