The team competed in three competitions at the same time on this weekend: the WCDE Nationals, the Dance Educators of America Nationals, and the Thunderstruck Nationals, which was the only competition filmed. At the DEA Nationals, Maddie won "Miss Small Fry" for 2011, a national title which Chloe had won the year before. Several other dancers from the ALDC also competed at DEA along with the DM girls, and the DM girls competed with their "real-life" teams (Mackenzie with younger girls, Brooke with older girls).
