"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.

Kelly: Just act stupid and be like, ‘I thought Rosa Parks was somebody different’ 😭😭

[JessicaN]

Could you imagine the uproar if Abby casted Kendall and not Nia?! It’s ridiculous for Jill to even consider it😂

[TheDsgrant]

There was nothing wrong with how Holly dressed. She was on par with the other moms, and miles above Abby in terms of style.

[islafranklin]

Nia was an amazing dancer I'm so sad the show never showed her amazing abilities

[Naomi-chjr]

I honestly loved how Melissa taught Maddie about Rosa parks.

[thegoodyears]

So this was most likely staged and the producers probably told her to do it, but not gonna lie, I laugh every time I hear “I know that the role of rose parks hasn’t been assigned to any of the dancers yet” from Jill 😭

[realta]

Imagine trying to get your white child to play the role of a powerful black woman. This role was Nia’s from the beginning

[alexramirez]

Was Holly really that surprised that Jill was trying to throw her daughter's name in for the role of Rosa Parks? Lol we all know that Jill would throw any kid under the bus that Rosa Parks was riding to get Kendall ahead lol

[lizzieschwab]

when the CADC dad started coming at Kelly .... she didn't even lie his son literally danced for like 18 counts of the whole dance😂💀 and all we've ever seen him do is spin on his head have we not??? And for him to say Brooke and Paige don't do anything different was BOLD. If I were Kelly I'd just be like "at least my girls can dance a whole routine"

[amycool]

Brooke forgets the group dance..
Melissa: "what did she do?"
Christi: "nothing that was the problem 😄"
LOL

[coolcloud]

Nia’s laugh at 11:38 was so sweet! 🥰 It was a nice change to see Abby joke around about Brooke forgetting the dance.

[nicoline]

This is one of my favorite dances ever on Dance Moms. I love how Nia and the other girls won. And how Abby was so nice to Nia and Brooke. She didn't yell at Brooke for forgetting, she only made a joke about it. This is how the atmosphere always should've been <3

[brooked]

Fun fact: Brooke messed up the dance only because she was up late the night before studying for finals (Kelly said at a meet in greet)

[ali]

Is it just me or do you think Kendall lacks a certain quality to be Rosa Parks…

[vaydasingslenae]

It would be literally so inappropriate for anyone but nia to play Rosa parks

[burnerbaby]

Jill is HILARIOUS. There’s no way the producers didn’t put her up to this 😂

[sophian]

The fact that Jill wanted Kendall to be Rosa Parks will forever be the funniest thing that happened on this show

[zwfzkyg]

When Jill started talking about the part of rosa parks I just thought “this Is a perfect opportunity for my little Kendall” 😭😭

[ralphealcoty]

I was almost brought to tears by watching Nia play Rosa Parks again. I still remember the first time I watched this dance. She should've been given more difficult choreography in this dance imo. Rosa Parks is one of my fav routines on Dance Moms. The boys were outstanding, but the ALDC really deserved that win. Abby telling Jill that she might have Maddie portray Rose Parks didn't make any sense and was inappropriate lol. Abby literally wore the same jewelry and logos every episode so she had no reason to critique Holly's style.

[missmyth]

“I absolutely want Nia to play the role of Rosa Parks”
THEN GIVE HER THE DARN ROLE 💀
