'Dance Moms' Season 5 Spoilers: Candy Apples Criticize Maddie's Role in Sia's 'Elastic Heart' Music Video
Maddie Ziegler, one of the members of the Abby Lee Dance Company otherwise known as ALDC, had a chance of lifetime when she danced in not just one, but two music videos of the pop artist Sia recently. While her first performance in the video "Chandelier" was praised, it seems that her second one in "Elastic Heart" opposite Shia Lebouf was not as palatable. Especially critical was dance mom Cathy Nesbitt-Stein, who also owns and operates the Candy Apples Dance Center.
Stein was shown in one of the promotional clips for the upcoming episode saying, "I did see it. I almost threw up." In a second promotional clip, she implicitly criticized Maddie's mom, saying: "I don't think that many parents out there would allow that."
Cathy is not only mom who had something to say about the video. Melanie Huelsman tells Maddie's mom Melissa Gisoni and Abby in the first promotional video "I would be embarrassed of the video that your daughter was in."
Stein and the Candy Apples make a comeback in Episode 12 of "Dance Moms," which will be shown on March 24. The Candy Apples are said to be one of ALDC's "bitter rivals," with some of its members harboring grudges against Abby Lee Miller. This is highlighted in the episode's synopsis by Lifetime.
"Candy will assemble a new team of dancers previous scorned by Abby who are 'ready to seek vengeance on the dance floor,'" according to the synopsis. This new Candy Apples team will compete with the ALDC in the Energy Dance Competition in Detroit, Michigan.
The episode will highlight the rivalry between the two dance groups, most especially their owners, Cathy and Abby. Abby will also put her team under pressure. She was shown on camera issuing a warning: "I will be sick to my stomach if my junior elite team lets this imbecile beat us. They will never hear the end of it from me."
Her perseverance and that of her girls will pay off. The report cites a spoiler site which says that ALDC will win the Energy Dance Competition and the Candy Apples will be a mere second placer.
