"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.

If you haven’t figured it out already by now the only reason Payton was featured on dance moms is because of her mother‘s behaviour that’s pretty much why most of the mums stayed especially Chloe’s mum. If there wasn’t any drama between the mothers then they considered the show ‘boring’ it was never really reality TV if that makes sense.

"we don't care if shes happy" Okay now that's just messed up on so many levels. First of that can effect the child in a long term away. Those words could cause depression, suicidal thoughts, and other harmful thinking and decisions. Those words can make a person think that they can't be happy unless everyone else is happy meaning puting other before themselves and there mental health. It's pathetic of what Abbey says. She is 16 years old and is supposed to be having fun. Like a normal teen would. I personally didn't like Paige but nobody should hear those words. And being called a crybaby frequently isn't going to help her thoughts. I can't even imagine the words that Abbey says, and to all of them, how that still effects them today. Its just dance. With kids.
