[@Nick-il3ch]

imagine if this dance had only competed in this competition...

[@Reality_TV_Queen]

We would’ve had this beautiful performance from here and everything would be different 🥺

[@angelswings2329]

sadly everything was planned by Abby and the producers to get rid of Kelly

[@detwynner5]

it would definitely not lead to the emotional healing that brooke, paige, and kelly have now.

[@kellygal3036]

Kalani just looks so effortless when she dances, I love Maddie’s dancing but I can’t keep my eyes off of Kalani

[@TefiTheWaterGipsy]

I know, that's the first time I saw her, when they did the "super secret duo", and this is the first time I've seen it all the way through. I was transfixed by Kalani. Usually I can't take my eyes off Maddie... Then Kalani arrived. I do love it when they dance together, such precision and grace.

[@ConcreteAngelx3]

I'm the opposite.. I can't help but watch Maddie

[@シJシ-k1z]

I completely agree

[@amazinggraciegurl]

​@@ConcreteAngelx3Same. Kalani certainly makes everything look effortless and is a beautiful dancer, but Maddie is pretty much always the one who catches my eye, whether she's the lead of a dance or not.

[@brianclarke6855]

Same! She’s a gorgeous dancer! It just a makes me think of an episode when she sees her old dance teacher and her teacher is disappointed at how much her technique had changed. This is when she first comes to ALDC, maybe she should have stayed training with her old teacher? Either way her feet are flawless! Every move is on point

[@sabrinaleedance]

This was before this dance broke dance moms 😂 and the competition Maddie was talking about in the episode

[@dreamydancers]

They placed 1st at Nuvo? Thats a big accomplishment! Its hard to place there.

[@iconicxreese6982]

Why is it hard? Is it because there are a lot of people competing?

[@dreamydancers]

@@iconicxreese6982 Im pretty sure.

[@slayyy7116]

it’s nuvo in pittsburgh though, so it’s not as difficult as ones in places like arizona

[@dreamydancers]

@@slayyy7116 Yeah true.

[@TwistedApple]

@@slayyy7116 still tho, dancers from the states near pittsburgh go there so it’s still hard

[@officiallilbebekellyyyworl6296]

Man the Lord has blessed these girls with an amazing talent! They look so elegant and they are so smooth with their moves. They are amazing dancers!

[@TheRandomnesschannel26]

The costumes were Gorgeous!

[@celinebardot4527]

Kalani definitely pushed Maddie... because Maddie was FABULOUS in this duet, even tho i couldnt keep my eyes off Kalani 😍

[@Reality_TV_Queen]

I can’t really seem to enjoy the duet as much as I would if idk that this dance broke Dance Moms! TYSM for the upload though, I’ve always wondered how the dance looked like when they performed at Nuvo and I mean why couldn’t they have performed their duet here and not at the other competition as well! They could’ve won here and Paige and Chloe would’ve in NYC!

[@kenella74]

i can see everyone's comments saying the dance that broke dance moms but how did it break it can you explain things i used to love dance moms but i haven't watched it since Abbie was in prison then hospital

[@ml.9417]

Oh please, it’s still two innocent kids. Kelly and Abby were never gonna last season 4 anyway.

[@Reality_TV_Queen]

@@ml.9417 You never know what would’ve happened had things been handled the right way

[@haileyparsons3844]

​@M L. For sure but I do think they would have left at the end of the season like Christi and Chloe did if this didn't happen.

[@Reality_TV_Queen]

@@haileyparsons3844 Most likely yes. In a interview with the Hylands either in 2014 or 2015, they explained why they left and Kelly ended it with saying she believes that it was time for them to go.

[@amarijackson9270]

they’re both so perfect

[@ilovememoriesbyconangray]

ah one of my favorite duets!! such good musicality!

[@ciarafurlong7554]

This is a beautiful duet!!

[@heretostay1163]

i love this!

[@kieraoilviabosley288]

That so beautiful ❤️

[@amydad8371]

OMG. You're only 107 subs away from 1000. I remember when you were on less than 500. Congratulations.

[@francheskalandfair7004]

The duet that broke dance moms

[@doyouhearthepeoplesing2]

the dance that broke DanceMoms

[@I_app76]

Kalani really gave Maddie a run for her money!! Couldn’t keep my eyes off Kalani.

[@michelledegeorge5708]

I know Kalani had a lot more serious dance training and better technique, but honestly Maddie looked better in this duet. Maybe Kalani didn't have a great performance this one time, maybe it's just that Maddie is more used to doing Abby's choreography, maybe it's just that this was (iirc?) their first time competing it on stage. But Maddie's rhythm, flow, extension, timing, are all impeccable.

[@princeofdatny]

No. Kalani was superior in this. Maddie rushes her moves.

[@Tianaissupreme]

@@princeofdatnyyes exactly Maddie is a good dancer but she rushes alot and never let the moves finish but when Kalani does it you can see her emotions through the moves not saying Maddie doesn’t have emotion she does but kalani shows it through the dance moves maddie shows it with her face

[@lexibeaumont9589]

maddie rushed the hellll out of this dance. count the music and down beats- kalani was accurate 99% of the time especially with the turns. maddie rushed all sets of them

[@SadiesAriel]

I was waiting for an aerial to be somewhere in there

[@ericaamazing]

Maddie was Abby's favorite. It doesn't mean she was the best dancer on the team. Kalani's dancing definitely looks more elegant and effortless here

[@ElmiraRanyaTchagop]

True but Maddie’s emotions are great too

[@ericaamazing]

@@ElmiraRanyaTchagop I think kalani executes the choreography better with her ballet training, but yes, the Maddie face never gets old

[@mayiscox836]

this was ofc going to win against wish bone like come on look at the choreography... and the costumes

[@bigshotbabe]

Tbh I like wishbone way more than this

[@mayiscox836]

@@bigshotbabe yeah i like wishbone more but what i mean is that in my opinion this was set up to win against wishbone because this choreography shows off more their technique and the costumes are prettier than the wishbones costumes (only my opinion sorry if I offended u) :(

[@chynaadadoll]

@@bigshotbabebiased

[@oceaneyesaldc]

"FULL SOLO" I thought it was a duet

[@bigshotbabe]

Omg lol, thanks for letting me know

[@Somethinglikethat122]

I have to say, this duet is well choreographed and executed perfectly but there’s no emotion between them. There’s no connection like Chlo and maddie had.

[@heatherward5053]

It really sucks the other girls didn’t get to perform in this competition. It also makes it nastier what she did to Paige and Chloe!! Beautiful dance tho

[@pettyandimpolite6850]

I have a love hate relationship with this solo

[@Anna-by4fl]

kalani's technique is better, but maddie's leaps and jumps are soooo beautiful (as usual)😍😍😍 and i think her turns may be better than kalanies (especially the last two)? but they're both soooo beautiful

[@isaacmoreno3834]

Yo lo llamaría el dueto de la muerte y de la discordia :/

[@ivanasalamun4030]

I didn't know maddie could do a layout! (1:38)

[@ST4RS4BR4NDONYT]

this would have won tda if they went

[@erinjohnson4273]

there was no reason that Chloe Christi and Kelly were mad but the deut changed everything

[@I_app76]

They had a reason to be upset. Wishbone would’ve won without Two Sapphires. They were upset because they knew that duet was gonna win even tho wishbone wouldve been first

[@Jakaisisksksk]

@@I_app76first off you don’t know that there could have been a duet better then wishbone so don’t say they would be first when you don’t even know that you ain’t no judge

[@I_app76]

@@Jakaisisksksk first off, wishbone placed second to this duet by only a couple points so if they did not perform two sapphires, wishbone would’ve been first. It’s not like YOU would know anyway🤷‍♀️…Also, you aren’t a judge and it’s obvious.

[@Jakaisisksksk]

@@I_app76and yet there was still a dance that could have been better if 2 sapphires didn’t compete dummy💀

[@Jakaisisksksk]

@@I_app76 and the technique in wishbone sucked

[@Aldcfan1798]

Everyone hates thsi duet they mostly like wishbone two sapphires we’re actually better

[@Jakaisisksksk]

I literally been saying this for years idc if it broke dance moms this duet deserved first and the technique was better then wishbone

[@zeiglerandhylandaldc8818]

Is this when the hylands doing the audition

[@rieluvs]

yup

[@ianthedunbar5684]

This was really pretty but it was quite fast pastes they didn't really take there time but no hate

[@aieshareynolds-el7760]

the song would have been perfect for Maddie and Chloe the song sound like it for them

[@queenbee202rose6]

Honestly they did it once and they should have left it as is

[@jennaebradshaw1308]

Honestly this duet was not as good as everyone kept saying, there was barely any emotional connection between them and the steps kinda seemed thrown together like they put steps Maddie could do better like the turns whereas Kalani does the extensions and back layout better than Maddie and overall their musicality is too fast for how slow this song is. Their technique and costumes were pretty, I’m not a huge fan of the choreography however. No hate.

[@bigshotbabe]

I agree on the emotion thing, tho this was a beautiful duet

[@talialawee5997]

Kalani is better in this fuet

[@jewelborn]

I didn’t really like this duet because of what happened

[@enriqueolguin3601]

I heard someone’s opinion saying it wasn’t really about the duet why Kelly and Abby fought.. sure it was a reason but they’re technically fighting about the group dance ironically entitles “beautiful revenge” the whole fight started because something with Brooke and then discussing it Kalani knew the group, which got Kelly upset saying she clearly wanted her kids replaced. (There’s a video of the summer before season 4 where Kalani and other girls were filling in for the group dance when taught at booty camp) which is why they it was more of a deal cause Kalani sorta knew the group. Loooong paragraph but yeah .. just cause I hear a lot about this duet being the catalyst for the fight .. but really it was about the group

[@folkforez]

it’s a very beautiful duet. it is not maddie or kalanis fault what happened to the hylands. it’s the producers and abbys, everyone makes two sapphires a big problem but it’s really not. and it didn’t ruin dance moms either

[@jessicajoerndt428]

After watching both duets, it’s very clear that Chloe and Kalani have a better emotional connection and maturity with their emotions than Maddie does. Chloe and Kalanis duet was incredible. They both emulate the same level of Grace and control…Maddie has just gotten harder for me to watch over the years because I’m noticing how much she really rushes things and lacks true emotional connection to the dance. Abby really tried to make us think otherwise. Chloe was always that girl

[@chynaadadoll]

BIASED.

[@jessicajoerndt428]

@@chynaadadoll biased? Nope just going based on technical facts about dance. Chloe and Kehlani are very similar dancers.

@@chynaadadollAre you just upset she’s not praising Maddie? Everyone has opinions you know. Also Maddie was just younger than kalani so it looked off to me…
