"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.

“I’m here for my daughter and that’s it”
*cries in makenzie*

[steffycry]

melissa in the interview: “im here for my daughter”
melissa in her bed that same day: “oh shoot i have two kids”

[xxzackxx]

I swear every time I watch these clips of Maddie feeling unwell, I always feel like both Abby and Melissa didn’t really care about it. Abby kept reminding Maddie that she should stay at the top of the pyramid and Melissa kept pressuring her by telling her that she never misses dance and has to keep on working. If someone ill, they should stay at home and rest instead of dancing all day because you’ll never know what will happen. It just startles me all the time I watch this 💔

“winning isn’t everything, it’s the *only thing* !”immediate red flag they should’ve left the moment they saw that poster

[iamnotamundane]

"If she pukes im not cleaning it up"
You are the parent, Melissa!

[srithadirisala]

“My daughter is the star. She is the most talented one there”
That is rude

[aliceb]

"Fell 13 storeys down and died. Huh?!" Geez Abby, a bit intense

[daniellejurado]

It’s the fake cheering in the audience for me 😂

[rats]

"I'm only here for my daughter"
"My daughter is a star"
"I know shes going to be a star one day"
Melissa..Maddie isn't your only child!!!

[gabbyshorts]

When Melissa says your eyes get drawn to Maddie really the camera just shows her the most 😂

[alexramirez]

The fake crazy audience cheering is killing me lol

[donttalk]

melissa: ik shes gonna be a star one day
jojo: hold my boomerang

[mindyschocolate]

“Don’t know what they’re doing” 😂😂😂 Abby’s commentary kills me.

[strangerthingsheartstopper]

, ,i can’t stand a child who’s sick!!!” quote from the best mother from this year 😍. 3:28

[Meadow]

Poor Maddie how does Abby and Melissa expect her to keep dancing when she’s sick that’s ridiculous

[emma-leighcampbell]

Abby telling them who there against: Look at the girls with the legs

[srithadirisala]

When Maddie came out of the bathroom they were rehearsing electricity. As everything in episode 1 was filmed after the competition.

[sadietaylorsversion]

BAHAHAHAH the fake cheering was hilarious especially when you saw them on camera and they were silent AND abby’s commentary was hilarious too

[avzcadoo]

The fact that Melissa said “ I’m here for my DAUGHTER “ instead of “DAUGHTERS” is showing who’s her favourite

[angelamitchell]

Melissa when she was telling maddie you're never sick, then says she hates kids that are sick, really Melissa
