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.

Kenzie walking downstairs crying with the dance bag and saying “why are they doing this to you” broke my heart.

[NLyfe]

Abby describing the group dance is literally how she treats the group which is wrong and ridiculous. Maddie wasn’t perfect, Abby thought she was, Maddie put all that on herself and was overly critical on herself. Melissa and Abby both put the pressure and perfectionism on Maddie which caused Maddie to no longer want to dance.

[Amra]

Abby putting too much pressure on maddie is just sad because shes the favorite even she once said „ms.abby expects me to win a crown for this solo and win another on the diffrent competition“.I feel so bad for the girls :(

[elisvictoria]

Even though I agree with christi calling Melissa out, she was wrong to bring up anything about her and her boss (even though I think it’s true)

[woxxedits]

Christi was so wrong on what she said even though I agree that Abby favored Maddie WAY TOO MUCH. I wished Christi took it out on Abby instead of Melissa!

[ieatwrms]

Abby is crazy. too much pressure for a little girl.. and the other girls I wish they had a childhood early and who love dance moms and raise ur hand if u dooo!🙋🏽‍♀️

[NLyfe]

Christi was right to call out Melissa I just wish she didn’t bring up Melissa’s affairs because it was irrelevant but I understand her frustrations.

[Gabbythebaker]

If anyone is wondering what Melissa called Christi when it was beeped out, she called Christie a C word Person Kelly was pretty funny. “That’s a word we haven’t used..”

[QueenAva]

Awh Nia’s so pretty inside and out <3

[MegaraGumdrop]

4:19 Lmao we all know Christi’s not really looking at her phone. Speechless 😂

[seemenow]

This shows how most parents projects their insecurities into their kids. The more i watching this the more i notice that not only abby is bad for the kids the moms are even worst.Non of them believe in their kids enough because they are so insecure. It hurt the kids 10 times more than abby ever could 💔

[jules]

christi was crazy and i find it so hard to defend her actions

[yummy_golbrock]

“There’s a new word that we haven’t used yet” Kelly 😂

[jssouvaillx]

Okay Christi had a right to mention the favoritism and disagree or judge it, but she definitely has no right to talk about Melissa’s personal life because that is absolutely none of her business. Even if Melissa was refusing to accept that she was being sneaky, it gave Christi no right to mention her personal life. That’s for sure

[GirlGeek]

Abby: Nia, tell Maddie to come to class, you're the dance captain.

Nia: Ummm

[urfavshteditor]

I absolutely LOVE Christi. She's my favourite mom on the whole show. But talking about Melissa's affair on National Television like 3 different times is completely wrong. I think she just got so fed up w her lying it made Christi paranoid and not believe Melissa ever again bcuz she lied sm.
She was right though, she never really badmouthes Maddie, just the way Abby favours her.
Glad to see they're BOTH better people today and (I believe) they are friends again ❤

[MegaraGumdrop]

Christi’s behaviour here is exactly why I don’t feel sorry for her at all. Of course I feel bad for Chloe, but Christi would be unbearable if you were a new mother.

[idahammar]

christi was always looking for fights “no comments?” just because she wants to argue ab something

[hlcrt]

y’all criticise Melissa but the other moms are just frustrated because if abby had their girls as favourite they will act exact like melissa

[kikiko]

Christi is completely in the wrong this episode, no amount of badgering from producers or any other excuses can cover her behavior.
