Beauty YouTuber James Charles received a dance lesson from the "Queen of Dance" Abby Lee Miller herself and met Dance Moms' stars, GiaNina Paolantonio, Pressley Hosbach and Lilliana Ketchman.
Let's rewind.
It all started with James watching the finale of Dance Moms season 8 (episode 16), and in one particular scene, the moms were arguing in the dressing rooms. Ashlee slammed a make-up palette for emphasis, and it was only upon further investigation that James realised it had been a 'James Charles X Morphe' palette. (You can watch the video here!)
Being a huge Dance Moms fan since season 1, he immediately uploaded an Instagram story, sharing his excitement.
"I noticed one of the moms slammed a makeup palette shut for emphasis during the fight, and upon further investigation and a little bit of rewinding, I realised it was the 'James Charles X Morphe' palette, and I said, "Oh yes, Ashlee, you close that palette, girl."
Within a few hours of the upload, James received DMs from most of the moms and the girls from the reality show, and even from Abby Lee Miller herself!
"Literally within a few hours, every single one of the dance moms, girls, and cast members, and Abby herself DM'ed me saying hello, and [that] they love me and my makeup, which literally made my entire day. I could not stop smiling."
And then the next morning, Abby invited James down to the ALDC in LA for a dance lesson. Of course, James couldn't refuse. His reasoning?
"I literally cannot dance to save my life, but I could not pass up this opportunity. I want to take a lesson from the Queen Abby Lee herself. If there’s anybody who can teach me not to have two left feet, it is her."
When James finally arrived for the dance lesson, Dance Moms' stars, GiaNina Paolantonio, Pressley Hosbach and Lilliana Ketchman were waiting for him as well as Abby Lee Miller herself.
And it was clear that it wasn't only James fanboying over the scene. The Dance Moms' stars were clearly starstruck with James if their expressions were anything to go by.
And of course, this was definitely in James favour. Because once the lesson started and James started to make mistakes, the girls were extremely patient and were all for praising him whenever he managed to get the steps right.
It was definitely a different but welcomed scene compared to the usual tense dance lessons on Dance Moms!
So, how well did James do in the end?
The girls definitely memorised the moves a lot faster than James - the years of practising their dance skills were clearly shown in the vlog. And though James did make a few mistakes (including a hilarious moment where he lifted his right foot instead of his left foot), James did do pretty well considering.
Watch the final dance steps put together at the 16:08 mark. Well, what do you think?
And it wouldn't be James Charles if he had left without gifting the girls anything. True to his nature, he revealed that he would be gifting each of the girls his Sister Hoodies and 'James Charles X Morphe' palettes.
And cue their screams of excitement.
