"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.

4:25 It's clear why Lilliana won. Her solo was really competitive, and her execution was flawless. Her control here really highlights how amazing her technique was for her age.

Lilly finishes her solo* Yolanda: GOOD JOB!!!! Ellie finishes her solo* Stacey: That was awesome!!!! They were so kind to each other!

[@jillianshelly2017]

While Lily is an amazing talent for her age and definitely danced up to the solo, I think Abby saying that Blue Moon is a Kalani solo speaks to the fact that Kalani’s choreography from Abby wasn’t advanced enough for her.

[@parisharma6845]

I actually prefer Ellie’s dance, it is more eye catching and exciting!

[@fambam7639]

same

[@kadieyad3913]

But lily's harder

[@bonnieservice1391]

So you give ellie musical theater against a pretty contemporary acro solo she was set up

[@sophia.aquino.]

Was she? They both have a chance at winning. The style really shouldn't affect the judges opinion. They should be judging the technique and the artistry, not the style.

[@bonnieservice1391]

But the judges didn't like it to win

[@alinehbagh]

@@sophia.aquino. as a dancer, the style definitely affects their opinion. if you put a lyrical group against a hip hop group, the lyrical is going to win even if they fall out of all of their turns and the hip hop dance does it flawlessly. It's just how it goes in the dance world and Abby knew that when choosing dances :/

[@masonjames5505]

It saddens me that Abby is trying to make another Maddie vs. Chloe rivalry but with Ellie and Lilly.

[@chrissinsxxx]

Lilli´s solo clearly was meant for Kelahni and that she performed it so flawlessly is commendable

[@hopelilyann]

kelahni 😭😭😭

[@jellyfishjay2217]

Ok Lily and Eliana are really the most fierce competitors

[@leilawalden2477]

I feel like elli would’ve looked better doing “blue moon” because elli was more technical

[@sunflowerchick7]

I agree for this point when they were younger but in season 8 Lilly is much more technical Abby even admits it

[@aubreypeters3563]

I think lily was good doing blue moon - because elliana was just looser and bobbled on things lily didn't - but i respect ur opinion

[@jnk5067]

Fun times ya'll! False. Elliana won tda. Her technique is much more advanced

[@alanabraxton9835]

At 7:10 that little girl in the back was clapping with her eyes closed🤣

[@laiscaldas4576]

Lilly was so small! And it is amazing to see her evolution in this time!

[@alinehbagh]

Ellie's was set up to fail, while she did amazing and was very entertaining, putting a musical theatre number up against a contemporary is bound to end up with the contemporary winning. Even if Lilly bobbled and fell out of all of her turns and Ellie did everything flawlessly, Lilly's number still would have won. It's the same scenario applied to a lyrical group and a hip hop group, the lyrical is meant to win.

[@tallie8818]

I wouldn’t really say that, it’s what the judges prefer. Lots of judges would rather see a musical theatre piece than a contemporary, especially as Lilly is quite young and contemporary is very mature. But both danced beautifully,

[@kirahwells4728]

The final result comes from the score because there is a score for costumes,technique,etc. but Lilly might have just been scored higher because I believe Ellie could have won with this dance it just depend on the score not the style.

[@cheer9108]

You realize just because she has a contemporary solo doesn’t mean she set up to win maybe Eli’s better at musical theater I’m not trying to be mean but it seems like this is one-sided

[@zougatejan-franken3671]

I knew Lilly was gonna win coz of the dance style

[@katiewheeler9212]

[@DramaTVFan]

Abby has this thing of creating rivalrys between her dancers, and this rivalry of Lilly against Ellie was set up to be just like Maddie and Chloe’s rivalry. It’s sad how Abby can sometimes ruin friendships between the girls by creating extreme pressure competition against them.

[@nataliehanka7961]

Ellie had such good facial expressions in this dance

[@Jocelynlovesurmom]

4:46 I am not sure but I think lilly actually said "Ellie, I think ur going to do really good too" but the producers slightly twisted it a bit to make lilly seem like a brat.

[@justanotherjt]

I think she did say she thought she did well but I also don't think that there's anything wrong with that, I don't think there's anything wrong with someone being proud of their performance as long as they don't put down others or get on a high horse about it (ie "I'm a better dancer than you" based on one performance)

[@Jocelynlovesurmom]

@@justanotherjt yes, that's true but I think the producers somewhat tried to manipulate and twist the subtitles.

tbh it sounds like she’s saying ‘ok great i thought i did really bad’

She was talking about the older girls who left the ALDC. Nia, Kendall, Kalani and I think Brynn.

[@dattebayossadfry5919]

Was she talking about you? I don't think so. The joke was annoying and it was weird and unfunny. And you can't highly disagree when she's talking about someone else hanging out at the beach. If you wanna be a comedian, think of a good joke, not a recycled one.
