"Dance Moms" follows Abby Lee Miller and the nation's favorite tween dancers as they take on Hollywood while new auditions, new competitions, and new studios raise the stakes.

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.

Maddie was and still is so mature beyond for years for choosing not to do it just goes to show how loyal she was to her friends

We should all give Maddie credit for saying no to Abby. That was clearly a hard decision for her to make especially wanting to please Abby. I wonder who Abby would've taken the solo away from if Maddie said yes.

[NMEntertains]

Abby: “No it’s not up to me. I’m giving you the right to choose what you want.”

Translation: It’s a trick question. You don’t have your own choices in this group. The answer is always “Yes, Abby. I’ll do whatever you say.”

[callie]

maddie literally said it’s up to abby but when she makes her choice abby gets mad like..what? make it make sense abby, MAKE. IT. MAKE. SENSE.

[ckilbarger]

Maddie didn't say no to doing a solo. She said no to Abby (and Lifetime) further profiting off her notoriety from doing the music video. She also said no to taking a solo from one of her friends so Abby could prove a point to Cathy (and the viewers and other moms and girls).
The fact that at such a young age she was mature enough to see all that and say no despite the fact that she would have normally said yes to just about anything Abby asked is incredible.

“Im giving you a choice, you can choose what you wanna do”

*2 seconds later*

“I CANT BELIVE SHE DIDNT CHOODE WHAT I WANTED HER TO CHOOSE >:(“

[IHeArTrOcK]

Maddie was never quick to step on necks like her mother was. She had a lot of insight as a child. You can tell she was genuinely empathetic. The way that Melissa and Abby would make exceptions for her. You would think that she would come out super entitled and condescending but she never did. She was always sweet and humble.

[gracie]

She is such a loyal friend, I feel so sorry she lost so many friends cause abby put her against them

[stefanienaranjo]

Everyone would've turned on Maddie if she said yes. But even if Abby made the decision like she said they still would've been mad at Maddie and her mom

[navibanfield]

Can we appreciate how scary that must have been for Maddie to do. They were all highly abused by Abby, and the strength and bravery it must have taken to actually finally stand up and say no to her is an incredible feat for her and any of those other girls

[sngray]

Maddie was so mature for her age and she was so thoughtful to think of her friends as well. 💞

[ChristinaG]

Poor Maddie....she definitely didn't want to hurt anyone or shove it all in their faces as Abby put it...she's so humble.

[-valmetal-]

“oh my god. i’m going to be sick yo my stomach” abby is so dramatic i can’t LMAOOO

[Pau_art]

Maddie is so mature and loyal to her groupmates! ❤

[EllaDieterich]

Abby: “I’m letting you choose what you want to do”
Also Abby:”I cAnT bEliVe ShE dIdNt SaY yEs!!👹👹

[samslattery]

Good for Maddie - she's explained so many times how much that song (Chandelier) means to her, yet even at a young age understand that other people can use/enjoy the song too. She also didn't want to upset anyone and/or take someone's spot/solo by entering her own dance. This young woman has been told for pretty much her entire life how perfect she is yet she's managed to still have humility and grace despite that and Abby's poor leadership.

[abbynew]

Omg I can’t believe Maddie chose to have her friends like her over 2 minutes at nationals that would betray everybody’s trust what a monster 🥺(SARCASM)

[mahraghabshi]

Maddie is so nice to her friends and wants the best for them and cares about them more than her self I love that thing about her

[laurenhall]

That wasn't a normal teacher/student exchange or conversation. That kid looked fearful of her teacher a bit traumatized even. She had a lot of courage to say no! These kids grew up in a pressure cooker environment over one person dominating over all of them.

[straykids]

Abby is always giving Maddie solo so I'm kinda happy that she said no
