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.

[XoxoLT]

And now JoJo is the only one who supports Abby.

[MariahSmith-ehxy]

I love how jojo is so strong and can take abby !!

[mlynne.]

Abby acting up when she has working professionals in the room is so embarrassing. I bet he told her to lose his number after this. The same with Matty Bs dad. Like who acts like that.

[yvonnepoe]

After all this, She is the only one who stood by Abby, the only ALDC student who visited her when she had cancer.

“Get a bigger bow hunny”
“Riiight”
Lmao i love Travis

[ashhzzzx]

"Get a bigger bow honey" LOLOL

The way Abby treated JoJo was horrible she even said on Abby‘s ultimate dance competition. She wanted JoJo to get bullied at school. I would never wish for anybody to get bullied.

[savannahkayjja]

Props to the dance, choreographer for cheering JoJo up☺️

[spapaya]

Poor Jojo, she really tried to keep her tears so abby won't yell at her.

The term "trauma Bond" is also known as Stockholm syndrome which is what JoJo has with Abby Lee Miller.
Stockholm syndrome is described as a deep bond with forms between the victim which is Jojo in the aggressor who happens to be Abby Lee.
Now The victim meaning Jojo develops a strong sense of loyalty towards Abby Lee as a result.
JoJo develops positive feelings for Abby Lee as well.
That also means That JoJo exhibits negative attitude and negative behavior towards others talking badly about Abby Lee.
Despite and disregarding that this bond is causing some level of damage to JoJo in the fact that it is damaging JoJo.
Despiteing that it only makes Jojo want to be with Abby Lee more than less.
Despite the fact of what it is doing to her, her meaning Jojo

it wild how she picks on jojo and now jojo is more famous then every single one of her other students she taught.. even maddie smh

[mariana]

I mean, you can either like or not like Jojo but the male dance teacher was right, Jojo was pushed because she was and is special.

[mc-rnro]

Look, I’m not a Jojo fan. I have my issues with her.


But randomly turning on a kid and reducing her to tears is incredibly low and unprofessional. And why?? Because Jojo was becoming more mainstream marketable than Maddie. Jojo was building a fanbase and Abby wanted to knock her back down. It’s the same thing that happened to Chloe.

[mommak]

I Love how Jess walked in the room ready to defend JoJo with a smile on her face like “you f’ked up now messing with JoJo” lol 😂 ❤and shout out to Travis for comforting JoJo

[TillyQuentrec]

Even with all the pressure that Abby has ever put on Jojo since she joined the ALDC, Jojo is/was the only one who stayed by Abby when she was in tough situations. (For those who didnt know Jojo went to go visit Abby multiple times when she had cancer and was very ill in the hospital and bought her lots of things to make her feel better about having such a serious illness. Lucky enough Abby pushed through and made it and is healthy now.)

[Gabbythebaker]

Abby started this. I don’t know why she cares JoJo was minding her own business. Plus why did Abby bring it up when she was working with Maddie on her solo?

[Skincare_girly_]

I feel like jojo is even more popular than maddie! What just tells us To believe in our selfes! U cant alway be the best! Every Master hase been a learner:)

[Magical-ASMR]
