"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.

Jess was SO right about Jojo being the most commercial kid. She knew her daughter’s true worth from the start and she didn’t allow anyone to get in her way 🌟 👏

[alexandrasilva]

it’s funny cause Abby and all the moms criticism did absolutely nothing to stop Jess and Jojo becoming as big as they are now 🤷🏽‍♀️

[tamarajustboredd]

Kira made in front of a child’s speech impediment, and nobody even thought that she was wrong. The moms had not one word to say when literally if someone says anything about their kids the whole world would crumble.

[edenrekker]

It wasn’t ok for Kira to make fun of Jojos voice. Even if she was friends with Jess. It doesn’t matter

[kimberlym]

“This is who JoJo is” I love that Jess never compromised who JoJo was. I think that standard played a role in JoJo’s rise to her current success.

[jeninaslicer]

I’m sorry but I would have checked Kira for making fun of my kid’s speech impediment. Then Kira wants to play it off at the reunion like it was a joke? Yep you and Abby would have been cursed out! I’ve read there were times the girls made fun of her. Look where they got it from; the two culprits!

[kiracookiee]

Abby desperately trying to tell jojo what to do so she becomes a star but jojo became a star for being herself LMAO

[cathrined]

She literally became the most famous dance
Mom girl. And suddenly Abby is obsessed with her.

[alsephina]

Just maddie's face when jojo's mom's talking about confidence

[sophiehockley]

I’m really glad dance moms didn’t change jojo I love her personality

[marlkickou]

I like how Jojo didn't look bothered when Kira tried to tear her down, i still hate Kira for this!

[girlgenius]

Jess: “It’s okay if you’re threatened by Jojo.”
Melissa: *cackles in Maddie*

[jayandres]

“why don’t you call christi” even after you made fun of chloe’s eye? just plane evil

[amandaa.charlottee]

Now Jojo blew up and Abby adores her. Jojo is the only girl that still talks to Abby now

[nyjiahsimmons]

I love how the girls was watching jojo rehearsal and was loving it soo sweet of them

[Lindaesquibel]

2:24 I love how Maddie and Kehlani are like “she’s so good” “ik right”

[suefields]

Jojo got the last laugh. Most of the moms are basically bullying JoJo. Thank goodness they went off on their own and JoJo became a megastar.

[alexisgardener]

All of them were hating and now Jojo is bigger than all of their kids

[shelseaalejandro]

Sad how Kira makes fun of Jojo. She’s a grown woman and making fun of a child. What a bully 🙄

[lizzylee]

Did you notice whenever jojo was dancing and Maddie said she’s good ikr that was so sweet 💗💗
