but if I tried to walk on

there, I'd get slaughtered.

You think

I'll get slaughtered?

No, I don't think

you'll get slaughtered.

- I think I'm good enough.

- Okay.

Where's the sudden interest in dancing?

That's all I'm asking.

What are you talking about?

I'm always dancin'.

I rap every morning

in the shower.

- That don't make me Eminem.

- Wow!

Do not compare my dancing

to your rapping.

Okay. Okay.

Bad comparison.

I'm just saying, your sister

goes to school for dance.

You just dance for fun.

Look, this is my chance at

potentially gettin' a scholarship.

And that too. You never even talked

about going to college before.

I didn't even think that was an option.

I don't have the money for that.

That's why you should be happy that

your mom's trying to hook you up.

You make it sound like she's sending

me to Harvard or something.

It is a three-month course

on collectin' blood

and collectin'

urine samples.

Seriously. And I'm supposed

to just thank her for that?

Look, if you have a chance

to make the Pulsar, go for it.

- Are you just sayin' that?

- No.

Now, you slide over to my place

tonight when you get off.

Look, I appreciate

the proposition and all,

but I gotta practice.

I gotta get up on my game if I'm

serious about joining this crew.

The manager said I could stay

back and dance after we close,

so that's even more lit.

I knew I hated

this damn dance thing.

Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh, oh, oh, hey, hey

Stay hungry, stay thirsty

Don't be afraid

To get down and dirty

Stay hungry, stay thirsty

Don't be afraid

To get down and dirty

We came to conquer

We came to win

We came to fight all night

Until the end

So put your flags up

And raise them high

We're goin' for the gold

We'll get the prize

Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh, oh, oh, hey, hey

Ready, set, go

The fire's burning inside

Ready, set, go

Just watch us

Fly, fly, fly, fly

Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh, oh, oh, hey, hey

Stay hungry, stay thirsty

Don't be afraid

To get down and dirty

Stay hungry, stay thirsty

Don't be afraid

To get down and dirty

- We're breaking records We get it in

- That's right.

We're working harder

Than your reputation

We're undefeated

It's do or die

We're gonna rough it up

And that's no lie

Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh, oh, oh, hey, hey

Ready, set, go

The fire's burning inside

Burning inside, yeah

- What are you doin' here?

- Excuse me?

You're not tryin' out, are you?

Honey Studio's best dancer?

Girl, you know Jada don't

be playing no favorites.

More like she wants

to put you in your place.

I can't be nobody's b*tch. If you're

fine with that, who am I to judge?

- First off, I'm not her b*tch.

- So prove it.

Here's your chance.

Okay, people.

Tryouts start in 15.

When I call your name,

you will have one minute-30

to show me what you got,

all right?

- Where you goin'?

- To the mall.

Didn't you just hear me

say tryouts start in 15?

Well, you can text me and let me

know who's gonna be on the crew.

Okay. My office.

- What?

- Now!

What the hell were you tryin'

to prove out there?

You know my rules.

Every season it's a new crew.

Anybody who wants in

tries out,

even if they been on the team

for three years.

Look, it's not fair

to the other dancers

who work hard all year

to improve their skills

only to find

that they didn't have a shot.

I don't know what's gotten

into your head lately,

but you better start

showing me some respect.

Now, if you wanna be

a part of the Pulsar,

you will get back out there

and try out like everybody else.

- Tosha.

- Hmm?

- Check it out.

- Oh, my gosh. She came.

- That girl is my biggest fan.

- Oh, you mean besides your mom?

Ooh, I stand corrected.

That is true.

Sis!

- What's up?

- Look, listen.

I appreciate the support.

I promise you, I do.

But you did not have to come all

this way to watch me audition.

- It is not that serious.

- I know.

- But I didn't come to watch you.

- Okay.

What... Did something

happen to Mom?

No. She's fine.

Oh.

- So, what you doin' here?

- I'm about to try out for Pulsar.

- Yeah.

- What?

You're trying out

for this team?

Yeah.

Okay, that was good.

You got me.

'Cause that was a joke,

right?

No. I'm not playin'.

- Yeah, you go, girl.

- Why are you...

- Jamaica, go back! Go back.

- Sorry.

I mean,

what do I have to lose?

Skyler,

we talked about this.

Pulsar is not

for beginners.

And I don't wanna see you get

up there and embarrass yourself

or hurt yourself

or do anything like that.

- Embarrass myself?

- Yes, Skyler.

I really think you might be nervous

that I might make the team.

- I'm nervous?

- Yeah.

I'm just lookin'

out for you, Sky. That's it.

Well, okay, good, 'cause I'm gonna

need you to be cheering for me.

Cheer for you... Skyler!

All right, everybody. Let's

get this show on the road.

Start with the fellas.
