ALDC's competition season comes to a close with Nationals and the girls feel the pressure to remain undefeated and prevail in LA over their rivals at Broadway Dance Academy. But with Abby opening her new studio the day before competition, the girls are left with little time to prepare. The girls give their all to make their leader proud but the tension spirals out of control, leading to a chaotic ending unlike any Nationals before.
Kalani's solo placed in the duet/trio category[6][7]
Mackenzie's solo placed 4th but was crowned the junior national title despite not being entered in the title division.[8] This title also realistically should've been given to Ava.
Mackenzie fell on concrete shortly before the competition, suffering cuts and scratches.[9]
Nia's music video for "Slay" premiered live at the competition.[10]
Center Stage Dance Competition is linked to World Class Talent Experience and to DanceKidsUSA in some fashion; in the past, all three have given an identical phone number for contact, with that number located in Pompano Beach, Florida.[11]
After the first competition, Center Stage gave a different contact phone number from Pompano Beach, matching that of Backstage Boss; with that organization's managing member also being the VP of DanceKidsUSA.[12]

Due to histories of hacking and account name changes, the address @dmupdates4u had a different account attached to it at the time; Victoria's newer account (at the time named "updates4udm", and using the hashtag "updates4u_spoilers") was renamed to this ("dmupdates4u") later, the account bringing along the old posts from ""updates4udm". (In August 2015, "updates4udm" was yet another account, created by Victoria/Tori as a backup)
