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.

Maddie’s face when she goes over to the team is honestly freaking sad.

[JennaeBradshaw]

Maddie was so uncomfortable switching teams. She knew she had to do whatever Abby said since Melissa and Abby both put that pressure on her that she had to everything for Abby. Abby definitely exploited Maddie.

[ur_mom]

i felt so bad for maddie in this episode

[LucyAnna]

Abby was so blindsided by making one of her students a massive star, not realising her reputation probably would have been so much more plausible and professional if she promoted and worked hard with them all, showing she was able to produce more than one star who was well rounded.

[Quitchannelsbye]

Maddie didn’t even want to do it but she had no choice 😢

[Maiyaluvsherself]

Abby thinks about herself, she believes that everyone else should not have feelings. But the girls showed her that they are better than that💋😻🌟

[thatbrownskingirl.]

I could always notice especially in this season and the later seasons, every time Abby would degrade the team or make a certain remark or even compare them to her, all she did was nod and blink a lot . She was so uncomfortable.

[Funfunfunsquare]

Sarah deserved a less problematic mother, which makes me think. Christy was very problematic, why didn’t the producers keep her? My guess is because Jill is enough to be 4 problematic mothers in one

[Iluvv.myslef]

That’s so sad imagine being pulled with another group that claims there better❤

[jules_leblanc]

The craziest thing about this is that now the girls are all crazy successful in acting, modeling, singing (well kenzie is the only one singing currently) and they are in college flourishing while Abby lost her out on everything she was removed as faculty of Dance Masters of America and was terminated. like all of the girls were tore down by her but they got back up and made their selves successful without her.

I fell so bad for Maddie but Kendal jumping got me dying 😂😂😂

[woxxedits]

Ladies and gentlemen, i present to you Part 386 of Abby making Maddie uncomfortable!

[meooowww]

"i hope i can change a childs life" change a childs life by giving them trauma

[johnomalley]

I feel bad that Maddie swamped teams, it was obvious that Maddie was uncomfortable on a different team!

[Funfunfunsquare]

I’ll say what everyone else has said, poor Maddie. That was all so bad…

[juliaziegler]

If u turn on captions, Sarah’s moms “name” is “Mom 3” 😭

[JennaeBradshaw]

Neither group dance was good. The Good Life timing and spacing were all over the place. The only thing that saved it was the choreography and technique. The Royals group wasn’t that great since both Kendall and Chloe forgot bits and pieces of the choreography and the choreography wasn’t great either neither were the costumes. There was nothing could’ve made that dance win. It was definitely set up.

[Venus_God]

1:06 did anyone notice that all the moms are on a platform besides Holly? I find that a little humorous. 😂

[Miatorres]

Bro what is Kendal doing😂😂😂 3:41 bro is to happy

[CCCCC-bh]

Love
