"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 am really glad that Abby was nice to her in the end. Jojo forgot, took responsibility, and still put out a great performance without running off the stage.

Why people gave Jojo a hard time over improving I will never understand. She crushed that solo!! And the improv was AMAZING.

[OnlyMichaelJackson]

Jojo was so professional, especially for a 12 year old. She didn't freeze, start crying onstage, run offstage, she didn't even let the audience know she forgot. I can't even tell when the real choreo stops and the improv beings. That's a real dancer.

[iman..]

it’s so weird how whenever one of them would forget their solos and just stand there, abby would get mad at them for not improving. but when jojo actually keeps going, abby’s like, “we wanted them to see OUR choreography” as if jojo decided to change up the choreo on purpose.

[mishajhaveri]

Jojo was really brave she didnt just stand their or run off of the stage like the others.

[graceborth]

This improv was actually so good. She handled it really well.

[lindsaylavender]

“I need to ask you in front of everyone”

No no you didn’t. You didn’t need to ask her in front of everyone. She could’ve pulled her aside. She’s already upset and embarrassed enough.

Maddie: forgets solo and dramatically runs off stage
Abby: It's okay baby
Jojo: forgets solo and improves
Abby: you're a disgrace to this dance company

[brendacamila]

"its ok" "babe, it happens" kalani is so sweet thats why she's my fav

[shrijasrivarshini]

Whats truly terrible is the fact that every child who has ever forgotten their dance is more scared about Abby rather than if their dance looked good or if the judges liked it.

[danner]

I like how Abby says "I NEED to ask you in front of EVERYONE"

Girl no u don't

[scarletteyre]

Jojo was very professional. A professional dancer wouldn't just leave the stage in the middle of a dance, and her improv suited the rest of the solo style, there were no awkward stops and she made it look as though it was the proper choreo.

[obsessiveliz]

I hate it when the girls are like "Abbys going to kill me!" When they messed up it breaks my heart

[avacrying]

Okay but seriously Jojo handled that very professionally for a kid. I mean a lot of these girls would be really scared (not blaming them) but she stayed on stage.

[stargaze]

“Abby is going to KILL me”
“No she’s not”
*”YES she is.”*

I feel so sorry for jojo.

[coastervelocity]

JoJo is tough. It takes real talent to be able to literally flawlessly improv and cover up a memory slip while performing.

[madalyngriffin]

“thIS IS A PErfEcT OpporTuNiTy fOr mY LiTLlE keNDaLl.”

[itsnoorseen]

I didn't realize that she was improving she just covered it up

[KatelynnE]

Melissa smiling and laughing over the fact she messed up is really telling what type of a person she is!

[riz]

Honestly, if someone didn't tell me she forgot her dance, I wouldn't have noticed! Her improv was GOOD!
