With 11 of the country's most promising young dancers selected from more than 1,000 national title holders, this season of Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition is back and bigger and better than ever.

Abby is the dance goddess of the week and the dancers strive to attain dance immortality when the theme is "Gods and Mortals." There are nine dancers left and the performers in last week's bottom group struggle to prove they deserve to be in competition.

Abby decides to mix things up with the theme for the week being "Unconventional." Anything can, and will happen, starting with the remaining dancers battling Abby in a martial arts challenge.

Meet 14 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.

There are 11 dancers left and the theme for this week's competition is "Monsters of the Night." The theme proves to be very fitting as one mom bares her claws and strikes at another, who is using her divorce as a way to get attention.

This week, the 10 remaining dancers are assigned duets based on "American Extremes." One of the classically trained dancers struggles during her hip-hop duet.

The nine remaining dancers are thrilled when they learn the theme for this week s performance is "Broadway".

After winning the right to pick all the dance assignments for the week, one mother takes this week's skill, survival, to heart.

The final five dancers must be very flexible this week as they try to master dance styles from around the world.

With only four dancers remaining in the competition, the moms have to do whatever it takes to ensure their child makes it to the final three.

Only three dancers remain for the grueling final round of this life changing competition. With $100,000 and a scholarship to the Joffrey School of Ballet in New York on the line, the three remaining girls must dance for their lives.

With this week's competition theme as "Dare to be You," all the dances are inspired by Lady Gaga. Under the eyes of this week's challenge choreographer Richy Jackson, the young competitors struggle to embrace their own originality.

"Las Vegas" is this week's theme and the remaining dancers are tested with styles they've never encountered before. One mom finally snaps and takes on Abby after she gives one too many criticisms about her daughter.

Judge Rachelle Rak, a veteran of "The Great White Way," leads the challenge for the "Broadway" themed week and blows the kids and moms away with her sassy moves.

Reward for the challenge this week is a private lesson with Abby Lee Miller herself. The pressure of the competition has the moms harping on their children and one mom even sells out her own kid to the judges for not working hard enough.

It's "Wild West" week and the dancers face off in Abby's O.K. Corral. Animosity toward one dancer is building and her mom goes all-out to defend her. Another dancer finally gets the solo her mother has demanded, but will it be her downfall?

With this week's theme of "Nightmares," the dancers tackle all kinds of things that go bump in the night... while their moms have trouble keeping their inner monsters in check.

It's "Diva" week and our dancers and their moms are happy to oblige. In a fierce dance version of kickball where the kids get to choose their dance styles one-by-one, leaving one unlucky dancer with the style no one else wanted.

All of the dances this week are inspired by "Alice in Wonderland." With the numbers dwindling, the competition heats up more than ever and when one mom sabotages everyone, her daughter pays the price.

It's finally time to choose this year's Ultimate Dancer. The finalists are so close they can taste it and they'll do anything to win the $100,000 and a scholarship to the Joffrey Ballet School in New York.
