"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.

There are SO many people around the world who want to watch Dance Moms but can't afford to buy or rent the episodes. It would be a great idea if you upload a full episode everyday or every other day in order, e.g. starting with Episode 1 Season 1 and then just go in order from there, making sure they are NOT restricted in other countries. I don't think it's "illegal" or will be copyrighted/fined because Lifetime is the channel that Dance Moms is run on, so it belongs to Lifetime, and is owned by Lifetime, so Lifetime can do what they want with it. I KNOW THAT WE CAN WATCH SOME EPISODES ON THE LIFETIME APP AND THEIR WEBSITE, BUT the app, (and Lifetime in general) is managed by A+E Network, which is banned in countries except the US. Some people are saying that you can download a VPN, but the app doesn't even show up if you're in another country, and it isn't available on many app downloading softwares. And the full episodes that are available on KZbin are restricted in my country (all the countries except the USA, because of A+E Network). If it's a revenue issue, Lifetimes would earn TONNES of money if the episodes were posted full on KZbin, probably even more than people buying or renting the seasons (making sure they are NOT restricted in other countries), especially if they had sponsorships and made products/merchandise. Starting with Season 1 Episode 1, then ending with the last episode of Season 8. Trust me it would earn a lot of attention and will be AMAZING. Show less

This is why Maddie or any of them didn’t keep in touch with Abby after they left. The amount of pressure she put on her to be the favourite was beyond obsessive. If her mother doesn’t want her to do one solo who cares? What dance teacher punishes innocent children for their parents decision. She was all over Maddie and smothered her way too much. Even to the point that In the early seasons Abby made Melissa feel torn between the parents.

[@user-fo6kp6nt5b]

exactly. It seems like Abby felt lack in her life, maybe because she didn’t have her own kids, and put SO much pressure on maddie. She guilted her so much and put so much emotional pressure on her.

I get so angry when people call Maddie a brat for this scene because she's obviously not just crying because she doesn't have a solo.

There were plenty of weeks where Maddie didn't have a solo, she didn't cry then. She knew Abby was deliberately leaving her out to make her feel bad about herself.

I clicked faster than Jill could say my little kendall

[@purplepeaches_1138]

Sometimes I disagree with the moms they were wrong to jump on her about the agent it’s none of their business but it common courtesy to let ur team know but she doesn’t owe them this one in my opinion and btw early

[@milianorth655]

So Maddie told Abby she wanted a solo because everyone else was having one except her and she didn't want to be left out but Abby told her she shouldn't say that and ask for a solo in a more fierce way. So maddie had to come again another day (her outfit is different) so tell her she wants a solo because she thinks she deserves one. Only then Abby gave her a solo. So basically maddie was a regular kid with normal emotions and behavior but Abby forced her to speak like an entitled brat and to not care about her friends and say she's better than them and Melissa let it all happen. Also this meeting with the agent was way too hyped by Melissa. She was basically saying the agent got blown away by her kids but the fact is maddie and MacKenzie never got any job in commercials for years after that meeting.

[@oceanblue9122]

Of course Maddie is a regular kid - did you think she was something else 😂 And they actually did get several modeling opportunities.

[@milianorth655]

@@oceanblue9122 back then the producers tried to portray her as a brat who was a bad loser and couldn't be happy for her friends winning or having a solo if she didn't. Even the moms are saying in this clip that maddie can't be happy for her friends having a solo for once even if she always has one. But the truth is that she was happy for the others when they were on stage and only asked for a solo here because she felt left out. Abby tried to make her a winning machine with no emotions except for her facial expressions on stage but that wasn't her real personality as a kid.

[@oceanblue9122]

@@milianorth655 Oh yeah, for sure. Maddie was a great kid who Abby tried to emotionally manipulate and turn against her friends and family. Luckily, Maddie let go of Abby - their relationship was so toxic. Abby as a person is toxic tbh.

[@alioonyy]

i think maddie could have said "i have to do a solo because we have to win"

[@BodaciousALDC]

i think maddie needs to not complain so much, some girls only got 2-3 solos per season, and maddie got one almost every week. she should be great full.

[@UrMom-cw6mu]

I entirely agree!!

[@Urmom-ts8gp]

Maddie wasn’t complaining because she didn’t get a solo she was upset because every one else had a solo, Abby was just trying to manipulate her because he mother wouldn’t let her do a solo one week, also when those girls didn’t have solos there was group dances, not here though.

you could tell abby had no friends in high school, based on that comment she made to maddie

[@SYDNEY.F]

I cannot get over Jill and her guitar shirt LOL

[@Elise_112]

I was laughing so hard when Maddie finished her solo and Melissa said beautiful

[@dejahturner16]

This was horrible. For Maddie, solos and privates equaled to "Ms. Abby loves me and mom will be proud of me." So taking/withholding solos meant that Abby hated her, in her mind or it meant she wasn't good or special. Although she wasnt treated as badly, Maddie definitely has her fair share of trauma.

[@karalocraft1950]

i like the way she said "do i have a solo?"

[@lilytadesse6098]

1:18 Mellisa's weird smile when complaining about maddie not having a solo 😂😂😂

[@snappiepappie9899]

Do people not get how horrible it is to do this to a child? If this happened to Chloe yall would me mad bruh

[@aloe704]

It makes sense why maddie gets solos now... SHE (the kid, not the mom) **BEGS** for a solo, unlike the others...

I love how Chloe and Paige are wearing the same top and bottoms

[@lbray102]

Honestly I don’t think Maddie should of had a solo. She always has one!

[@pric4799]

And? That’s like telling a straight A student, ‘You don’t deserve an A, you always get one!’ I just don’t think it really matters. That’s just my opinion, though 😄

[@ameliawarburton6449]

I think maddie was crying for no reason , fair enough she diddnt get a solo, but i think shes being a bit spoilt because some of the people normaly dont get a solo . But she does and when she diddnt its like "OMG MADDIES CRYING GIVE WE NEED TO GIVE HER A SOLO " its not fair on the others !

[@libby-taylorsversion6131]

but if everyone else got a solo and she didn’t she’s obviously gonna feel upset and excluded

[@ameliawarburton6449]

@@libby-taylorsversion6131 Yey ik but she normally gets a solo and that’s my point that’s why I think she’s crying for no reason !

[@oceanblue9122]

Emotional manipulation. Clearly you’re young and don’t understand so I’ll break it down for you. Abby manipulated Maddie. She made her think that: Self worth = Abby’s approval = solos Are things clicking?

Broke hugging Makenzie was so cute

[@eddikaespinoza8834]

I miss watching this i wish it would go bck on tv love them all there sooo talented💛💛💚💚💙💙💖💖💜💜

[@brianolivares603]

I think this was a teaching moment to tell Maddie that people will get jealous even if they’re you’re friends but you should support one another and I’d tell the mothers look go out and get your child an agent but don’t get mad because one gets something and another doesn’t

[@Urmom-ts8gp]

It wasn’t a teaching moment it was to punish her lmao

[@dianagolden6071]

I've watched a few of these videos and the question I'm asking myself is why did they not have a show years later about how psychologically damaging their dance teacher was? 🤦‍♀️🤣

maddie is a bit ungrateful. she is the star of the team, and gets solo’s more than anyone! Why does she BEGG

[@avaclayton7903]

ikr

[@oceanblue9122]

Because she feels like she’s being punished. If EVERYONE gets something and not you and you’re NINE years old, you’d feel bad too

[@samanthamartin9254]
