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.
"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.

[@chasityslocum4032]

Holly doesn't fight dirty. She calls things out rather than below the belt insults.

[@oliviaaa3096]

Because it was a stupid fight. And Kristie didn’t cuss in every fight she had. Holly got angry for no reason. Kristie made her point and was confident in her kid’s talent and Holly, a pro victim, couldn’t take it. Kristie said “enough IMPORTANT people know how my kid dances” and those were obviously facts since she got her own show after this. Holly sounded jealous that Asia was well known (she literally had just gotten back from working in Korea) but that’s no shock considering how the “ogs” always treated new people. Not only that, Asia had a solo that week. So if there were someone important at that competition who was interested in Asia skill, they would’ve seen her dance twice.

[@JordanJSparks]

OKAY I just watched this like 20 times over at the turning straddle section : Brooke literally has BOTH her legs off the ground before she even makes the rotation and still somehow hits her straddle. I have no idea how she even did that, that's making the step WAY more difficult than it needs to be, but she somehow still got the straddle. To put that into perspective, she did a 180 degree turn and then hit a straddle position en l'air with BOTH her feet off the ground. She rotated IN the air lol.

[@JordanJSparks]

The step is supposed to be coming from a low chaine prep your first leg fans into second and your second leg launches off the floor and fouettes into second to hit your straddle AS you complete the rotation to face downstage. You do not need to complete the entire rotation en l'air.

[@Kait16xo]

Unpopular opinion : chole was a better dancer than Maddie she just didn't get the attention she deserves and needed just like the other kids

[@s.a.3746]

1. That’s not unpopular, Chloe is literally a fan favorite and Maddie is one of the most hated on girls 2. It’s not true, they’re both amazing but they have different strengths. Maddie can’t turn nearly and well as Chloe, but Chloe’s leaps and her flexibility aren’t as good as Maddie’s. Maddie excels in Jazz and Tap dances while Chloe’s Jazz performances feel flatter. However, Chloe is a stunning Ballerina while Maddie isn’t very skilled in Ballet. They have different skill sets and are both equally talented.
