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.

Dance Moms follows children's early steps on the road to stardom along with their doting mothers all under Abby Lee Miller's discerning eyes. Presenting a powerful cast of characters, the show immerses itself in the highs and lows surrounding dance competition season, delivering a captivating and dramatic look at the cast's intense pursuit of National Dance titles. Centered on the devoted Miller, who runs Abby Lee Dance Company with an iron tap shoe as she instructs her young, talented students while also dealing with impassioned mothers who go to great lengths to help their children's dreams come true, Dance Moms is about what really goes on behind-the-scenes in the fast-growing and controversial sport of competitive dance.

Smartest mom on the team! left when she saw the abuse, she wasn't gonna take it for herself or her daughter, no matter how much success the show would bring! It's not worth it!!!

[tianamarie]

It’s embarrassing that Melissa flat out said I made my kids endure years of abuse from Abby but it’s fine I stuck it out so they’d be stars 💀 like wow you can see where her head lies

[zeed]

Lynn was so right for leaving and her daughter is still thriving now

[erindannenburg]

melissa really said: "I'm never too good for anything, I'm too good for you." in 1 sentence .

[zariamitchell]

these moms think it's a flex to let Abby destroy their mental & their kid's mental because it all made them "successful" in the end is such a harmful take.

[wendykuiper]

Melissa really showed her true colors this season

[ralphealcoty]

The junior elite moms annoyed me so much that season lol. I applaud Lynn for realizing that environment wasn't good for her nor her daughter. My parents would never put me in that wacko environment. That episode proved how narcissistic Abby was. Why should the moms thank her when she insulted them non-stop? Melissa's argument made zero sense in the end.

[ciciad]

Abby laughing like a villain at 5:47 is everything 💀 Also: Holly smiling & saying "it's all good, we'll see you next week 😀" is hilarious 😂 she's so iconic 🥺

[pennyrods]

I love how Melissa made that face like she owned Lyn when in reality, what she said made zero sense at all.

[berrisfueller]

The junior-elite moms were definitely being unnecessarily rude to the mini-moms. I don’t always think that like the mini ones are great. But it’s quite annoying especially with Melissa always using the jealousy excuse.

[kaitlea]

‘did someone record that?’ babe you’re on a tv show 😂

[freetobree]

These moms are so toxic like belittle and berate this woman and when she decides she’s had enough it’s oh we’re a family 🤨

[denasiaanderson]

I love holly but I hate to see her ‘following’ Jill and Jess sometimes cause what they were doing to the mini moms wasn’t right and I hated when holly and Melissa started becoming bullies.

[lillielou]

honestly lynn made the right choice.
she was treated like garbage and she was a very nice team member imo. (she sometimes had moments though)
kendyl went back to her old studio (which is a pretty good studio) and now shes at one of the best studios in the country and shes well known in the dance community.

[moraaogamba]

Can we talk about how Jill was trying to talk about Lynn like Jill didn’t storm out during class because her little Kendall was at the bottom of the pyramid

[MrSoBitchy]

0:26 we need to show Abby
2:33 and showing Abby that
3:20 I wanna show Abby
6:33 we need to prove to Abby
7:59 I proved myself to miss Abby

They producers had them repeating the same thing over and over and it's so ridiculous

[slutu_g]

Lynn was the best mother on dance moms, left when she could and never looked back.

[shyannmariel]

The elite mom totally forgot that their kids were minis years ago
Also the elite moms being rude to the mini moms acting like they’re all that is absolutely hilarious

[majdi]

did abby really call lynn trash ADMITED TO DOING IT then said she should say *yes ma'am/thank you ma'am* instead of leaving? jeez 💀

[angeofmusic]

Can we talk about how the Junior moms were calling Maddie and Mackenzie, Abby’s Legacy… when like 2 seasons before they were crying about Abby’s favoritism
