In this mother of all competition series, a dozen of the country's most talented kid dancers compete in weekly dance challenges. Twelve kids and their moms will move into a mansion and the kids will perform a new routine each week while the moms manage and oversee them. Will the moms get in the way of their child's success and cost them the chance of winning? Each week, someone is eliminated, narrowing down the field to see who will become the top dancer. The winner will receive a cash prize of $100,000 and a scholarship for full tuition to The Joffrey Ballet School. Dance Mom instructor Abby Lee Miller serves as one of the judges.

The road has not been easy for “Dance Mom’s” star Abby Lee Miller. After completing her prison sentence last year, the famed dance instructor was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. But if anything, Abby has proven she is a fighter and is not ready to hang up the dance shoes. The new season of Dance Moms follows Abby as she rebuilds her dance company while battling the after-effects of cancer that has left her confined to a wheelchair. Abby is ready to get back to her life and do what she loves most…teaching students to dance! With the goal of putting her life, health and dance studio back together, Abby returns to where it all began – the Abby Lee Dance Company in Pittsburgh.

I honestly love Brianna's mom. She is such a good mother, extremely supportive, and when she said she was proud of Asia too, I really liked it. And when she said that her parents are watching over her daughter, I felt so bad for her, but at the same time, it was so sweet.

[rebeccamatthesen]

let’s be honest, Asia might’ve not won AUDC but she went on to be one of the ALDC dancers and then get her own reality show. so in my opinion, she did win.

[theofficialmn]

I personally HATE Evette for say YES when Asia lost. I agree that Asia placed last but she is completely disrespectful for that like come on it’s a kid.

[holly]

Although Asia doesn’t have the best technique and I agree with the judges that she shouldn’t have won compared to the other two girls, but we can all agree that Asia was by far the most entertaining to watch and if this was Abby’s Ultimate Dance With The Most Wow Factor Competition, she would win in a heartbeat

[holly]

Can we just appreciate that Brianna’s dad’s name was Brian?

[sngray]

For once, I agree with the judges’ that Briana won, Madison came in second, and Asia came in third. They all did an incredible job and I always enjoyed watching Asia perform because she has such a tremendous stage presence. 💗

[jamie]

Can we acknowledge how incredible it is that Asia got into the finals, she’s less than half the age of most of her competitors.

[Averyy]

the way that Yvette said yes she asia placed last in horrible
just because she’s hate her mom doesn’t mean she should hate asia or what her to do bad

[jeanalzaidi]

briana is such a amazing dancer, she's so graceful she steals your heart when she dances, maddison was amazing too they both have amazing careers waiting for them, its unfortunate that asia, quit dancing but I hope whatever career path she chooses she's successfull

[kyra_kuntillia_rose]

Asia was literally six eating these girls up

[heartt.fims]

I have to emotionally prepare myself every time Yvette comes on

[beccafeeney]

Madison is going to be dancing in the Macy’s Parade today as a Rockette!

[suggajaay]

brianna is such a great dancer she deserved the win

[prepster_vidoes]

Anyone else notice that Asia’s solo song was the same song as the photo shoot/swim model dance with Brandon back in like season 1. Such nostalgia

[Strongalltheway]

Yvette of all people saying Kristie has no class 😭😭💀💀

[Shar]

I seriously hate the fact that Yvette was HAPPY that Asia didn't win like, what kind of mom does that?

[martinchristie]

Not me thinking that Abby’s junior elite team would come and join to do the group dance haha

[anne_with_a_v]

Yvette saying yes to Asia coming last was honestly one of the most disgusting attitudes on the show. Honestly, it made me really sad that a person would go to such lengths to defeat a SIX YEAR OLD.

[katyann]

Wow. Brianna's performance brought tears to my eyes. She is just amazing and stunning! She definitely deserved this win.

[fs_ontrack]

I’m not gonna lie Madison’s solo definitely looks like it could’ve been a Maddie solo idk why
