Maddie has proved her worth with sheer talent, hard work and heaps of confidence. In the latest episode of "Dance Moms", viewers will see how ALDC and its competition react to Maddie's "Elastic Heart" video in which she starred with "Transformers" star Shia LaBeouf.

According to Inquisitr, Abby is so happy with Maddie that, for the upcoming competition, she decides the girls will do duets. Titled "Abby's Trash, Cathy's Treasure", Miller casts Maddie and Kalani on one duet, JoJo and Kendell in a second one and Mackenzie and Nia in a third. Cathy's Candy Apples are also participating in the competition and surprisingly, her team comprises of former ALDC dancers.

Melissa, Maddie's mom, receives a lot of criticism from the Candy Apples' moms. However, Kalani's mom, Kira, musters enough support for Maddie and her kid before they hit the stage to perform "Walking Through The Storm". But can the ALDC dancers out-perform their rivals and squash criticism?

They do. International Business Times reveals that the group outperforms Candy Apples, with the group number "Get A Clue" bagging first place in both the junior small group division and in the overall standings. Moreover, Maddie and Kalani's duet number lands them in first place overall and in the junior division. JoJo and Kendell come second while Candy Apples finished third. Overall, a great show in which ALDC emerges victorious.

Classical Elite informs its readers that "Dance Moms" has been nominated at the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards 2015 so Maddie and the others will be seen rubbing elbows with Nick Jonas and Iggy Azalea. Looks like the show not only thwarts dancing competitions but it is also highly popular. "Dance Moms" airs every Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Lifetime. Watch Maddie and the other talented dancers beat the Candy Apples yet again.
