Synopsis[]
Meet fourteen amazing dancers and their moms from around the country when they arrive in Los Angeles for the chance of a lifetime, the final audition of Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition. In an intense rehearsal, the dancers must learn three different routines in only two hours.

It all comes down to a double elimination and the pressure is on as the contestants must impress the judges if they want to make the cut.
