to north Carolina

with my tail

between my legs!

What else do you want me to do?

Emily...

What?

Say something.

Like what?

Like you don't blame me

for him leaving.

I can't.

Emily, he turned 18.

He needed you.

I care about my son!

Not as much as

you care about winning.

[Sighs in exasperation]

Emily...

[Ruben]:
that's it, Blake.

One, two, three.

One, two, three...

Come on, Blake.

Good.

That's it, son.

Head high.

Play it to the judges.

Play it to the judges.

There...

One, two, three.

Nice job, son.

Nice job.

[Starts music]

[]

Silent night

holy night

all is calm

all is bright

round yon virgin

mother and child

holy infant

so tender and mild

sleep in heavenly peace

sleep

in heavenly peace

sleep in heavenly peace...

[Song ends]

Why did you come back?

Isn't it obvious?

What now?

We win the spin.

Hey.

You got a minute?

[Stammering]

Sure, of course.

I'm sorry about last night.

Me too.

About everything.

I hope you haven't

replaced me yet.

Not a chance.

[]

Here you are.

Merry Christmas.

How y'all doing?

[Hum of bustling crowd]

Five minutes, please.

Five minutes.

Okay, remember, take your time.

Save the flashy stuff

till after the judges

have had a chance

to relax.

[Emcee]:
welcome

to the 35th annual

holiday spin!

[Applause]

Tonight,

contestants

from all over the state

will dance for the honor

of being crowned

king and queen

of the holiday spin,

with the winner automatically

qualifying

to represent Florida

at next year's

ballroom dance national final!

And a $50,000 prize

to the winning dance studio!

First up

are two local favorites,

from Miami, Florida,

Mandy Hamilton

and Joshua levin,

who will kick things off

with the Paso doble!

[Cheering and applause]

[Music begins]

[]

They're on.

[Applause]

[Song ends]

Mandy Hamilton

and Joshua levin!

[Cheering and applause]

You guys!

You guys did so great.

Good job, man.

[]

[Song ends]

Give them a round

of applause.

[Audience applauds]

You ready?

Yeah.

You're up.

Next up

are Blake montalvo

and pia gigiotti!

Give them a hand!

[Applause]

They will be dancing...

The samba!

[Cheers from crowd]

Ah, pia...

[Music begins]

[]

They look good.

[Audience gasps]

[Audience cheers]

[Applause]

[Audience gasping

in anticipation]

[Wild cheering and applause]

Yes! yes!

A big round of applause!

[Cheering and applause]

That was great.

I mean,

very, very strong.

Great job.

[All gushing with excitement]

So good. Yes!

So proud of you.

And last, but not least,

it's none other than last year's

defending champion,

from Miami, Florida,

Rob Peters!

Dancing with tezza vale!

[Cheering and applause]

[Music begins]

[]

[Audience gasps]

[Applause]

[Cheers]

A huge round of applause!

[Cheering and applause]

I have just been

handed the scores!

But before I announce them,

please give

all of our contestants

a round of applause.

[Cheering and applause]

When I call your names,

please step forward

and take a bow!

With a score of 99.2...

Rob Peters and tezza vale!

[Applause]

And also with a score o.2,

Blake montalvo

and pia gigiotti!

What?

Oh, my gosh...

[Applause]

[Emcee]:
ladies and gentlemen,

we have a tie for first place!

Which means,

for the first time

in the history

of the holiday spin,

we're looking at a dance-off!

[Cheering and applause]

All right,

let's set the order

of our second performances

by a good old coin-toss.

Defending champ will call it.

Tails.

[Coin rings]

Heads!

Which means Rob and tezza

start things off,

followed by Blake and pia!

Let's take a short break.

When we come back,

the tiebreaker,

to determine our winner!

[Cheering and applause]

Get out of my way.

Come on,

take a swing.

[Drum roll]

[]

[Audience gasps in awe]

[Audience cheers]

[Applause

and exclamations of wonder]

[Cheering and applause]

We're doing the waltz.

But we're not prepared.

Just follow my lead.

No, Blake, there's

no room for error,

he can do it.

You can do it.

[Applause]

[Audience gasping in delight]

Let's just dance.

[Song begins]

[]

[Song ends]

[Crowd cheering wildly]

[Cheering and applause]

And so

it all comes down to this.

Without further ado...

This year's

holiday spin champions are...

[Sighing nervously]

I can't watch.

Blake and pia!

[Cheering and applause]

[Crowd cheering wildly]

[Gushing with excitement]

So proud of you guys.

You're leaving?

I can't stay here forever.

I'm sorry to see you go.

[Chuckles]

I'm only going

down the street.

You found a place?

Clayton has a small studio

two blocks down.

I mean, I have to go back

to north Carolina at some point

to get my stuff, and...

Take care of

some personal things.

Maybe I can be of help.

I'd like that.

I forgot

to give you your present.

No, you don't have to give me--

just open it.

[Sighing with emotion]

Merry Christmas.

Dad.
