"Two Teams, Two Studios Part 2" is the thirty-third and and second part of the two-part finale of the sixth season of Dance Moms. It is scheduled to air November 22, 2016.

This marks the second season finale to be split into two parts. The first being in Season 4.
The elite girls were training at 3rd Street dance studio (the same studio the show was filmed at in Season 5, prior to the opening of ALDC LA) with various choreographers all week (one being Erin Babbs), whereas the mini team continued training at the ALDC LA.
Some of the dancers from Molly Long's studio Project 21 attended the competition. Daviana Fletcher, who later appears in Season 7, was also at the competition and competed a solo in the teen division which beat Kalani.
During the post-season hiatus:
