==Other Information==
* Kalani performed a solo, but somehow that solo placed first in the duet/trio category.<ref>https://twitter.com/saviklasen/status/605200675530665984 regular California spoiler-fan source attending comp</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/kiragirard/status/605159746966986752</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/23kalani/status/605211008441815040</ref><ref>http://dancemoms.wikia.com/wiki/File:531_Abby_comments_about_nationals_01.png Abby in comments</ref>
* Abby ranted calling the competition a joke, said she would never return to the competition again. The ALDC were awarded best studio however all the moms (except for Jess & Holly), and Abby/Gia got up and left and never accepted the award,<ref>https://instagram.com/p/3XY-udSxYF/</ref><ref>http://dancemoms.wikia.com/wiki/File:531_Abby_comments_about_nationals_01.png</ref> and also pulled their dancers out.<ref>https://twitter.com/MusicalWhiteBoy/status/605161321466720256</ref>
* According to Abby, Mackenzie was 4th place junior solo, but simultaneously "Overall High Score Title Winner," despite not being entered in the title division.<ref>http://dancemoms.wikia.com/wiki/File:531_Abby_comments_about_nationals_01.png</ref>
* Mackenzie fell on concrete shortly before the competition, suffering cuts and scratches, but she still seems to be performing.<ref>https://twitter.com/DanceMomJill22/status/605049525049405440<br>https://twitter.com/DanceMomJill22/status/605056693815390208</ref>
* Ava, Ashtin, Chloe' Smith, Haley and Tessa were listed in the competition program as performing for Jeanette's studio (rather than Candy Apples). The last four went to the competition together while wearing BDA (Jeanette's) jackets. (This was also the case at their last DM competition on May 9th.)
* Nia's music video for "[[Slay]]" premiered live at the competition.<ref>https://twitter.com/saviklasen/status/605101063121698816</ref>
* Mackenzie's solo was listed as open in the program guide, but the performance was rumored to be lyrical.
* On the [http://www.eventbrite.com/e/dance-moms-invitational-dance-competition-lancaster-tickets-17075502287?aff=es2 Eventbrite site] for this competition, it says that it is a "Dance Moms invitational". It is also noted that the event will take place on a Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (PDT). The Lancaster Performing Arts Center address is also provided.
