Wow girls. 2 of you are on probation and it's the second week. I need better.

Mackenzie is open! Apply in my ask!

Nia-Probation.

Paige-Probation.

Chloe-Even though you did not turn in the group, you tried to submit it and I excused you.

Brooke-Good duet, but you should have said if they were barefoot or not. Final score: 8.75

Kendall-Good duet, but I didn't really see the story. Final score: 9

Maddie-Your duet was amazing! I really loved it! Final score: 9.5

This week, we will be heading to Starpower in Clevland, Ohio! But the wicked witch of the west is going to be there. All assignments are due on Saturday at 3pm EST/12noon PST. You may excuse yourself this week if you are busy. Submit the assignment here.

This week, we will be focusing on 2 things: emotion and technique. So this week, all the dances will be emotional or dark. I will give out the style and story. You pick everything else. At the bottom of this post, I will recommend good songs for this theme.

Maddie, you have the first solo of the season. You will be doing a dark contemporary number about a girl who turns supernatural, like the vampire diaries. 

Kendall, you have our other solo. It is a jazz solo about a vampire. 

Brooke and Chloe, you have a duet. You have an emotional lyrical number. It is about 2 sisters, and 1 mourning the death of the other. You get to pick who plays what part.

Paige, Nia, and Mackenzie, you are doing a small group this week. You have to bring in any of these boys: Alex Biery, Lucas Triana, Zack Torres, or Gino Coscuella. Each of you have a certain monster that your group is about. You can pick the style. 

Paige-Ghost

Nia-Werwolf

Mackenzie-Wizard

You need to beat Cathy! I hope you girls do well.

Good songs (some may get you more points):
