Gianna's POV:

Today, we start dancing in the studio. All the girls are really excitedly! So are me, Kelly and Christi.

I have got a lot of well-known dance teachers helping me out with teaching different things.

I got James from ALDC teaching HipHop, because he left the ALDC ages ago and moved to LA. I've got Jeannine from ALDC teaching tap and Ballet because she left ALDC aswell. I've got a lady called Sasha coming to teach contemporary and a lady called Tamsia coming to teach Jazz and I've got a lady called Beatrice coming to teach Acro. I've got other teachers aswell, but those are the main ones. I've also asked Christi and Kelly to help out at the front desk and in the store, and they said they would love to, so they are working her aswell.

At 9am, we left to go to the studio. The girls all put their stuff into their lockers in the dancers den and put the keys on their hook in my office. Only they are allowed in my office, to get their keys. Don't want other people going into their lockers!

I put my stuff into my office as did Christi and Kelly. Then, we all went into Studio A for pyramid - Yes, I'm still doing a pyramid. I decided it would be a good idea to do pyramid now, before people come for their general classes because lots of children have already signed up for various classes!

So I started pyramid "So, girls. Obviously, we changed homes, states, and dance studios and we got some additions to our family! But I do still have a pyramid based on the last competition that we did. Chloe, Paige and Brooke, you three are on the bottom of the pyramid, purely because this is your first week back, you didn't compete with us last week. So, that's understandable. Next on the pyramid, we have Mackenzie, you also didn't compete with us, but you were very brave being all alone in Pittsburg, we all thought you were dead! Next we have Nia, I thought your solo didn't allow you to win, but third place is unacceptable, you should have beat at least 1 of the seniors! Moving up, in the middle we have Maddie, you also came third, you should have beaten BOTH of the seniors! Next, we have Kendall, you came third! You let some nobody get second place and you let a senior get first! Next, we have Brynn, same as Kendall! Moving, on top of the pyramid, we have Kalani AND Jojo, both of you came 2nd in your categories. Abby would say 2nd is the biggest loser on the stage, but both of you danced better than I have ever seen you dance. You should be really proud! So, moving on to this week, we have solos, duets, trios and a group. You are not all in the group, but you will ALL have 2 dances! So, solos go to Kalani, Jojo, Mackenzie and Paige. Duets go to Maddie and Chloe, Mackenzie and Brooke, and Brynn and Kendall. Trio goes to Paige, Nia and Jojo. The group is Maddie, Chloe, Brooke, Nia, Kendall, Kalani and Brynn. So, let's get started with the group. So, Maddie, Chloe, Brooke, Kalani, Kendall, Nia and Brynn stretch in here. Mackenzie, Jojo and Paige go to the tumble room to work on your tumbling skills with Beatrice. I'll come and get you when it's time to stop. Christi and Kelly, can you both go to the front desk because the general dancers will be coming in 20 minutes for their lessons. Can you ask parents to fill in the forms that are in the folder and then they can go to the viewing area and the dancers all go to the dancers den to wait for their lesson to start. And NO parents are allowed in the dancers den apart from you two. Got it?" They nodded. So, everyone went where they were told to go and I started working on the group dance.

"Right, girls the group is Contemporary and its entitled . It's about Not needing Abby anymore about how we will all be fine without her. Okay. Now, I know this will be difficult because Chloe and Brooke have not danced with us for a long time, but we will make it work. Okay let's get started."

"Good job girls, we are already 1/3 of the way in and it is looking great. Now, I am going to work on the trio, so Nia stay in her I will go and get Paige and Jojo while I see how the other dancers are doing. Okay. Everyone else, go to my office, there is a board there with the different dance teachers names on them and what they teach. Go and introduce yourselves and see if they need any help. Okay?" They nodded so I went to get the girls. When I walked into the tumble room, Beatrice was helping Paige with her back tuck, while Mackenzie and Jojo were doing handsprings on the floor. It was a great sight. I said to Mackenzie to go and find the others while we worked on the trio, I sent Paige and Jojo into Studio A to stretch with Nia while I checked on the general classes. They were all doing so well, but, there was such a mixture of ages! I saw Minis in with Seniors, they are not on the same level. So, I left it for now, to go and work on the trio. I went into Studio A and said "Girls, this trio is Jazz and it is entitled and Paige is going to be the lead since it is about her coming back to something that she used to do."

We worked on the trio for 1 hour before I decided that it was time for lunch. So, I got everyone into Studio A and said "Time for Lunch. There are no classes going on at the moment so feel free to eat wherever you want in the studio. There is Subway for everyone in my office. Your lunch has your name on it. You have 2 hours! Go."

I saw all the girls run to get their lunch.

I saw Mackenzie , Jojo and Brynn go to the tumbling room.

Maddie, Chloe and Paige went to the viewing area.

Kalani and Brooke went to Studio B.

And Kendall and Nia went to the Dancers Den.

I went to my office with Christi and Kelly.

We finished lunch and I am about to start working on the 3 duets. So, I said "Duets into Studio A. Paige, Kalani, Jojo and Nia you are going to go into Studio C and have a Tap class."

Then once they had gone. I said "Right, girls. I'm going to work with Mackenzie and Brooke first. So, the rest of you go and stretch at the side. So, your duet is entitled "

"Okay, that's looking good. You guys are done for now." They left and I said "Maddie, Chloe. Your up. Your duet is entitled "

"Okay, that's looking good. You guys are done for now." They left and I said "Kendall, Brynn. Your up. Your duet is entitled "

"Okay, that's looking good. You guys are done for now."

I went into the Dancers Den to see all the girls sitting there talking, so I said "Right, let's have a technique class. All of you in Studio A. Go go go."

In the technique class, we worked on the right way to do arabesques and pirouettes.

"Okay girls. That was great. Now, let's go home. The general classes finished 1 hour ago."

They all agreed and went to get all their stuff, while I went to Kelly and Christi who were still at the reception desk and said to them "We're going now. The girls all worked very hard today. Their dances are coming along well. We are going home to eat now. So, if you can just put the papers away and then you are done. Thank you for this."

They replied that it was no problem and they loved working at the desk. Then we went to my office to get our stuff to see the girls waiting for us.

When we got home, I said "What do you want for food?"

And I heard lots of different things.

I heard:

"Pizza"

"Burger"

"Omelet"

"Chicken"

So, I decided an easier way to sort food out. I said "Put your hand up if you want Pizza."

Jojo, Kalani, Paige and Nia put their hands up.

"Put your hand up if you want Burgers."

Christi, Kelly and Brooke put their hands up.

"Put your hand up if you ant Omelet."

Maddie and Chloe put their hands up.

"Put your hand up if you want Chicken."

Mackenzie, Brynn and Kendall put their hands up.

"Okay. Looks like we are having Pizza. What would you like on it?"

I heard everyone say "Pepperoni please."

So I ordered 3 Pepperoni pizzas and we waited for them to be delivered. While we waited, we decided to watch a movie. Since it was only 6:45pm, I thought we could watch 2 movies. So, I split everyone into 2 groups. Kelly was with one group and Christi with the other and in their groups they decided on 1 movie to watch and we would watch one movie then the other and then go to bed.

So, I said "Okay, so there will be 2 groups and 2 movies. So each group will choose a movie okay?"

They all nodded so I continued "Okay. So the first group is Kelly, Mackenzie, Brooke, Nia, Jojo and Brynn. And the second group is Christi, Maddie, Chloe, Paige, Kendall and Kalani."

So, get into your groups and choose a movie. Here are the movies you can choose from."

As I said that I laid out 5 movies in front of the tv. They were:

Finding Dory

Toy Story 1

The Lion King

Inside Out

Matilda

Kelly's group were deciding between Matilda and Inside Out.

Christi's group were deciding between Finding Dory and Inside Out.

So, I put The Lion King away.

They have now both decided on a movie. So, I said "Mackenzie would you like to come and get the movie that your group would like to watch."

She came and picked up Inside Out.

Then I said "Good Choice! Maddie, would you like to come and get the movie that your group chose."

She came and picked up Finding Dory.

And I said "Another great choice."

So, I put the other movies away and then the doorbell rang and I went to get it. It was the pizzas. So I paid the delivery man and then went back to the others with the pizzas.

Then, we decided what movie to watch first. We decided to watch Inside Out first. So, I put the disk into the DVD player and we all sat eating pizza and watching the movie.

Inside Out just finished. I looked over to the others and saw Mackenzie, Brynn and Jojo asleep on the floor. Maddie, Chloe and Paige asleep on the floor and Nia asleep in a chair. Kendall, Kalani, Brooke, Christi and Kelly were still awake so I quietly said "Do you want to watch the other movie?"

They nodded so I put it on and halfway through. Everyone apart from me and Brooke were asleep so we went and got blankets from upstairs and put them over the sleeping people and me and Brooke went upstairs to sleep in our beds.
