Other Information
- Alexa Moffett, Brynn Rumfallo and Jaycee Wilkins were in Los Angeles (like Kalani, all from Club Dance). In part, this appeared related to Maddie and the May 5th episode of Dancing with the Stars.[7] (See info on next episode.) Alexa was working on this episode of Dance Moms,[8][9][10] choreographed Kalani's solo, and went to the competition with the ALDC team. Addison Moffett, Alexa's sister and Kalani's close friend, was also at the competition.
- The ALDC girls attended Digitour during the week, taking photos with Nash and Hayes Grier.
- One of Kalani's awards was patterned on a champion fighting belt, probably because the competition was on the same day as the widely publicized Mayweather vs. Pacquiao boxing match.
- The term "praying mantis" was originally used by Abby in Chloe Gets Revenge, arguing that Ava needed an umbrella prop and certain choreography; rather than extending her arms, which Abby described as "horrendous" and "not developed." The term was later repeated by Kira in Abby Got Served.
