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.

abby was right vivi anne is always a human prop in their dances

[gianna]

Everyone: asking what brookes age is.
Brooke: *eats her Frosted Flakes*

Maddie wasn’t upset about Kenzie winning. Her mother kept reminding her to stay happy because the cameras can pick up every little second of detail and turn it into something it’s not, so maddie got annoyed because of that

[hazelmcdonnell]

You can tell Nia is really strong, when jojo said “well me and Nia do most of the same stuff” and Nia was like “No, I worked for my place on this team”, I was like yass girl u go get her!!

[suhani]

I think that Maddie was actually happy because look at her face when Mackenzie won it was so joyful and proud I think that the producers actually cut it to make it seem like Maddie was mad.

[aestheticaudios]

“Melissa why can’t you just be happy
For her?”

MY QUESTION EXACTLY

[giannagenovese]

what melissa said about kenzie not deserving the win was disgusting. holly was right, why couldn’t she just be happy for her?

[heh]

i love how holly defends her kid while using an “indoor-voice” while the other moms holler at eachother

[elizamullaademi]

geez its sad how everyone automatically assumes that Mackenzie didn't place just because Maddie got 2nd

[les_]

I thought Maddie's tap solo was pretty boring. Mackenzie definitely deserved that win. SHAME on Melissa for saying what she said, how awful to be looked at that way by your own mother.

[lenna]

Mackenzies face when she realizes she won gets me every time 😭😭😭

[jebipop]

for me, hearing them talk about people born in '97-'98 being teenagers puts in to retrospect just how old this show actually is 😭

[katelynn]

“I think these moms would be a lot happier if they stopped encouraging people to fight with Abby” I actually agree lmao they needed to understand abby’s reasoning for taking Kehlani out of the group.

[celine]

Holly is Literally the perfect mom to be on dance moms . All the moms just start yelling and cussing but she tries to handle herself for her kid and that proves how much she cares about nia and also she knows that fighting would just make her daughter sad .

[hannahmcguire]

WE LOVE WHEN HOLLY IS A BETTER MOM TO KENZIE THAN MELLISA

[claudiah]

“the ‘donimo’ effect” gets me every time💀 great announcer

[smitakhaparde]

Maddie : Sia was like my mom
Melissa
Abby: Everyone is replaceable
🤣🤣😂😂

[aliciasheargold]

Imagine how successful Mckenzie could be if she got the same attention... she’d be on a whole different level rn

[totallynotkiya]

melissa crying bc she believed maddie should have won is so sad. i can’t imagine how mackenzie might have felt if she saw that. she couldn’t even be happy for her own daughter

[CLAIREBOZORGPOOYAY]

“there not taking us down, we’re taking *them* down”
i just love Nia
