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.

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.

I love that moment where Nia stands up to Abby and looks right into her eyes, she's not afraid lol

[krypton]

I love how Brady agreed with himself bc nobody else did 😭🤚

[beepboooop]

jojo is honestly so mature. despite how upset she was, she stood up for herself and articulated what was wrong very well and was not shy about it. you could tell back then she was gonna be a great professional

[srithadirisala]

This shows the girls can speak up for themselves.

[TheDominoEffect]

the amount of openings to these compilations that start with kendall saying, "i have a voice now, im gonna use it" is probably more times than maddie was on top of the pyramid.

[ArcySeguraTV]

Cathy : *"ooOoooO Nice language"*
Christi: *"I know I learned it from you"*
😂😂😂

[daniellegraham]

"Don't rip on my kid!"
*points at Abby* "Well she does it all the time."
"Yeah, well I pay her!"
I died 🤣

[Alexis-wucg]

I love how nia speaks up as she gets older and is still very respectful but still able to say her peace

[luv.georgie]

Ya know this environment was terrible. But I’m addicted to watching dance moms and I feel horrible 😥

[lalathefilmie]

can we just applaud a 7/8 year old that took responsibility about something straight away omg I love Asia

[sulianysforsayth]

Jojo didn’t say anything wrong. I hate the fact that moms make it seems like jojo is disrespectful.

[sofiaortega-brazelton]

I’ve always loved Nia she’s very strong and she’s went through a lot of things with Abby and I just really wish her all the best because she’s so talented and sweet.

[zofiabartoszko]

Brady: Right?
Everybody: ...😑
Brady: Right
😂

[ariii]

I hate how when the dancers stand up for themselves the moms say they talked back! THEY DIDNT they are being mature

[taminatoutai]

11:45 I love how Kenzie gets it right and maddie high fives her then she says that was close

[theajoestar]

I like how Camille listened to what Nia had to say and didn't disagree with it and make a scene like the other moms would have. She was calm and respected what Nia said.

[preppynani]

I love how Nia stands up for herself and at the same time is polite.

[samtrunzo]

Jill-“I hAvE bEEn tHe moSt loYaL” she literally left for cathys team like twice 😂😂✋

[foff]

kids standing up for themselves to adults always makes me happy. adults take advantage of kids cause we’re taught to respect our elders. but respect is a 2 way street.

[lillith]

Nia is such a queen the way she stands up for herself is so calm and controlled
