Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition

Fourteen dancers and their mothers arrive in Los Angeles; dancers must learn three routines.

The dancers are split into trios and assigned routines; one mother takes charge during rehearsal.

The competition theme is "Monsters of the Night"; a mother uses her divorce to gain attention.

A classically-trained dancer struggles with a hip hop routine; painful memories are shared.

The weekly performance theme is "Broadway"; the judges cannot decide who to send home.

One mother wins the right to choose all the dance assignments and uses this to her advantage.

A mother is overwhelmed with the demands of the competition; a dancer struggles.

The theme of the week is the land of fairy tales; a dancer struggles to become the evil stepmother.

The final five dancers attempt to master dance styles from around the world.

The mothers want their children to make it to the final three; circus-inspired group dance.

Three dancers compete for a scholarship to the Joffrey School of Ballet in New York.
