"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.

[@daniii1783]

Maddie was a great dancer for her age, and she’s also a great dancer now. She was painted as the favourite in the show to create drama, and it was definitely putting a lot of stress on her to perform well because one mistake and she would be picked apart by the audience. Frankly, if I were in her position, I would have mental breakdowns every day. Whether or not she’s the most successful one out of dance moms today doesn’t matter, no one should have to compete with their friends - I don’t compete with my friends Edit: I also wanna say that if I have ppl constantly compare me to my friends, I’ll honestly find it pretty hard to maintain a genuine relationship - it’s just gonna feel like every time we interact it’ll be a chance for ppl to contrast our abilities Another edit: apparently people love to judge someone based on heavily edited footage.

I’m sure she was Abby’s favorite before the show started but I agree though, Maddie is really talented and works really hard to get better

[@pric4799]

@@growingupwithdisney While I agree that Abby liked Maddie before the show, I’m pretty sure Brooke was the favorite. Brooke won a lot before Dance Moms started and was at her prime the year before Dance Moms was aired. I agree about Maddie’s improvement, though. She’s so hard working and passionate, she always inspires me. Her growth from “I will be a star” at age 5 to “Somewhere over the rainbow” at age 8 was incredible. I really dislike it when people say that Maddie didn’t work hard at all - she wasn’t naturally talented but worked hard to get where she is today.

its sad that maddie and kalani had a solo that week and because there was no drama about kalani's solo they didnt air it and made it seem as if only one solo from the ALDC competed that week............she also got a perfect score and thats why kalani is in the room......she was going to practice her solo next (the name is Fragile Forest for those interested in watching it)

[@pric4799]

Fragile Forest was stunning as well! Definitely one of my favorite Kalani solos. I feel like it wasn’t aired because producers didn’t think it would stir up enough drama. They thought that out-of-studio competition would stir up more drama than Maddie vs Kalani. I have a feeling that if Lifetime knew both Maddie and Kalani would receive perfect scores, then there definitely would’ve been a Maddie vs Kalani storyline.

Judges got it right. Maddies dance was technically more difficult with variance of turns, armless lift to her feet, and a front and side Arial compared to Talias program. Choreography had more tension, was more dramatic, and she did well emphasizing.her move with the right note of the music. Plus her acting was better because she had a better story to betray.

[@kellymilton7282]

The reason Maddie is were she is today with her dancing is because she actually out time and effort into everything she did and still does. Yes Talia works 20-25 hours a week but Maddie works more. Maddie was only the favourite because she knows what Abby likes to see. She is a phenomenal dancer! In all fairness, for her age back then it’s absolutely mind blowing.

The ending of gods creature is amazing

[@nightstars58104]

Wow even though the other girl solo was great, I like more the solo that Maddie did!!!!!👍

[@SkyelinNicole]

Talia is a beautiful dancer she had everybody silent

[@erinslup]

Conclusion: Gianna is a great dance teacher.

[@yeetyeet6042]

One thing that I love about the Aldc dances is that they always tell a story that you don’t get out of a lot of other dances. While they were both amazing dancers, Talias dance didn’t do much for me

[@jacquelineboos4]

I’ll be honest I was never this big Maddie fan. But, it’s not her fault that she’s so talented.

[@boringmandude5281]

8.06 tho- AHAHHA the woman's reaction behind Maddie's mom when she shouted

[@cami5431]

1:32 I thought Gianna was being mean to Maddie for a sec🤣

[@aksjqiamsbjwka]

I like chloes personality but maddies dancing.

[@pric4799]

I like both of their personalities and dancing 😄

[@growingupwithdisney]

Chloe puts her heart into all her dances, while Maddie puts all her hard work into hers. They both are really good, both very special dancers

[@aksjqiamsbjwka]

@@growingupwithdisney I agree, maddie was the favourite so her dancing technique was obviously more cared for but I feel like Chloe is more of the “I’m so sorry” and “omg I love you’re dress” type of girl

[@mirandastube6193]

Poor Talia, not only Maddie won, but she had a perfect 300 too😭 Maddie 🔛🔝 fr❤️✨

[@tookefamily2877]

idk why but talias solo made me think of , ' empty chair so a solo' 😂😂

[@harper5240]

No one: Not even Jills little Kendall: Me rolling down a hill when i was 11: 4:29

[@haileymontjoy669]

I think I found my favorite Maddie dance

[@princessshekinahf.p4419]

Talia was a beautiful dancer but I don’t really feel like she used the prop well and Maddie just feels a lot better cause she have the emotions and her technique was flawless.

[@camilaaraujo6879]

maddieeeee😍😍😍

[@gracemajoros7345]

love this

[@amalezzat8304]

Is it just me or is Kalani's happy dance so chaotic though graceful at 8:14

[@itsarianababeyuh5106]

8:05 lmfao the person at the back face when melissa screamed

[@lilynovak5482]

talia is a beautiful dancer but her dance was pretty boring i literally wanted to do my schoolwork instead of watching it which is saying a lot

[@roseannepark9475]

LMAOOOO

[@irinmariajimmy4107]

Maddie dances soooooo beautiful 🤩 I love watching it 😀😀

[@joanalajeel5616]

LMAO IM DYING 8:05 WHEN THE MOM REACTED TO MELISSA SREAMING

[@user-pp8qc6zs6z]

Holly my queen bow to her-👑 👸

[@dessiiwessii9712]

Sorry but talia is NOT “the stronger dancer”.

[@lindseyb59]

It is a literal gift to watch her dance

[@sarahhh3553]

the fact that i have that EXACT chair in my dining room 😳

[@nandini1790]

Whether you like Maddie or not you all know that she is one of the BEST dancers on the team🙂

[@jordynkidd7564]

Ommgg I am weak the way the lady in the back looked at Melissa when she started cheering!!😂😂😂😂

[@snowberrystars4795]

okay but I love the positivity from Talia's coach, like honestly way better that yelling at the kids like Abby.

[@_erin_4201]

1.46 "my maddie" has she ever one said "my mckenzie" ? Edit: everyone calm down it's just a joke like all the other comments about Madie McKenzie and Melissa! 😝

[@radis675]

Is this Maddie’s solo or Kenzie’s ? It’s Maddie ! So why bring up Kenzie ?

[@_erin_4201]

@@radis675 because during any of McKenzie solos had she ever said my kenz or has she really ever said my McKenzie

[@oceanblue9122]

Erin .. Does that really matter? She calls both of them affectionate names like “honey” and “sweetheart” and many other things. Plus, producers edit out a lot of things to create a better storyline. Y’all fall for everything - Kenzie herself said that Melissa treated them equally.

[@_erin_4201]

@@oceanblue9122 would yous all calm down its just a joke - there is lots if other comments about Maddie and McKenzie and Mellisa! Lol it's only a joke
