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.

I can't even with Areana! She's so mature at that age when she told Peyton to not listen to what Abby said, she's my favorite mini!! I would be running for the hills if Abby yelled at me like the way she yelled at poor Peyton!

[sjtv]

I really liked Keri, she was a good mom she wasnt letting Abby talk down to her daughter. The minis were actually so cute and talented, they deserved better

[kelsey]

If you watch the show from the beginning you can actually see abby slowly slipping into unhingedness. She was at her most unhinged in s6 and s7. Its actually quite interesting.

[madeleinealdridge]

Peyton was just adorable, why would Abby do that to her? She was kinda like Mackenzie in that Abby just didn’t seem to realise that she was the youngest, yet she still executed the same choreography as the other girls. She didn’t appreciate her talent I was always really impressed with the maturity of Ari, the way she spoke and presented herself at 10/11 was amazing. I guess she had to grow up quickly due to the extra care and attention her brother required

[ralphealcoty]

Props to Kerri for not letting not Abby talk to her daughter that way. Both dances were really good btw!

[shubhodeepghosh]

2:20 that was so satisfying lol. that mini mom shut abby up

[shadowandsonic]

I love how the minute that one of the mini kids started crying Jojo was the first one to go to that kid to try to make her not cry anymore and I also like how Jill was the first parent to help that kid and to make her feel better

[iheartpink]

2:31 she is so cute and kind. She is such a beautiful kind hearted friend. She has such a sweet soul
And at 3:40 too!! Both of the girls are such kind girls. They would be great therapists 😂😂

[SwaggyLee]

Ari was like the mom of the mini team❤

[floralfairies]

Ari was so sweet with the pep talk to Peyton<3

[olivheyhey]

Abbys behaviour towards the mother and her daughter was disgusting

[bubblesnfluff]

Did Abby forget Peyton’s age? She did more tricks and picked up better choreography than any of her dancers that started at 2 with her studio. Just because she didn’t like the mom she thinks she can compare a 5/6 year old to her 12-16 year olds behind her. So sad.

[mirandastube]

Areana is the sweetest mini. I love her, she always stood up for Peyton🥺❤️

[NLyfe]

Honestly Abby was racially passive aggressive towards Kerri and Peyton it was so disgusting to watch.

[the_blackpotatoe]

“When you can look like….” “You are the people I don’t want to work with” and “You represent a culture…” Abby was talking about more than just dance. I feel like she was being racist but the scene was so edited, However, Kerri’s reaction makes me feel like there was more said.

[jessmorgan]

Nobody has done more to foster insane dance-mom culture than Abby Lee Miller. She's the reason I'd never let my kids join a competition team.

[kelsey]

She went off on the mini moms more than any other moms at this point in the show.

[catttttttttttttt]

Respect to Jill for trying to get the minis out of the room

[NLyfe]

Honestly the minis and the minis moms really got unfair treatment from both Abby and the elite moms.

[tiffanyvegas]

It breaks my heart to see what she does to Peyton 😢 she's so gorgeous and talented!
