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.

[@magicmira741]

@@gwenytt Chloe had a condition called silent sinus syndrome which made one of her eyes look smaller than the other. It was something she was very insecure about because a lot of people would say mean things, such as saying that she had a "lazy" eye and that she was ugly. Abby made fun of her eye without knowing or caring what was really going on, and that was the last straw for Christi and Chloe so they decided to leave. But they didn't show this scene on Dance Moms, and instead cut and pasted audio from a different episode of Abby saying Cathy was washed-up, and making it look like she said that about Chloe. Sorry for the long explanation lol

Sory I disliked by accident but I agree her choreography is great but she needs to respect these little kids

[@DanceMomsMad]

Abby is a good career manager, she knows the industry really well and can get kids where they want to be. She isn’t the best at teaching dance though. As for the emotional abuse I don’t think that was her. She’s a strict teacher, but her actions on the show were caused by the producers. She was constantly being told to be mean & be rude, while under immense pressure.

[@retroxses]

@@emmylynn4667 I'm taking a guess your point of view was just from the reality TV show, you need to go into further depth if you want to make a point. Abby was mentally abusive, they were kids, they cry and that does NOT mean they're bratty. You can tell how much the girls were effected from the show if you watch their reactions of Dance Moms on KZbin. They wouldn't even refer Abby by her name. Please please please, don't make a point based off the TV show which is filled with editing, the girls were made to look like they hated each other but that really was not the case.

[@DanceMomsMad]

@@retroxses you’re very quick to call out the editing that has affected the kids, but have you ever thought about how it impacted Abby? Abby, like everyone else, joined the show for money. She signed a contract, and she was also mislead into what the show was. She’s always been a strict teacher, but she was under so much pressure to be this evil dance teacher. She was told to say things, she was forced to do things, and clips were edited to make her look bad. She had the most to loose, that studio was her life’s work, if she disobeyed the producers they’d ruin her business. She said cruel things, but we don’t know how much of it was forced, or because of the terrible head space she was in.

[@hannahbarley61]

Yeah she’s a good choreographer but her teaching skills are awful making kids cry and have anxiety attacks about dance is not good at all. Arguably some of the dances on the show were not appropriate at all for these young girls such as the last text it’s an amazing piece but most of the girls were between 7-11 I mean this kind of topic is definitely traumatising for young girls Christie said that Chloe couldn’t sleep alone after this dance

[@iiholly_xx]

The girls are too young to get shouted and yelled at by their teacher and seeing the girls get all stressed and crying makes me just get angry at Abby

I get that Abby is a good dance teacher and all, but whenever she choreographed Kalani, she made it seem way too young for her age level. Alexa obviously was better for Kalani.

[@galaxyaldc301]

I agree unless you were maddie or Chloe most of the dances they performed for solos were too young for them

[@thelambsauce1701]

She also did that for brynn. She gave her dances she could've done when she was 8 and painted her as a frail dancer with no emotions when brynn could do literally every style and could emote back at club. Abby overlooked brynns talent

[@tonia4934]

No, Abby is NOT a good teacher. She burned these girls out. She bullied them. She was all about Abby. Total narcissist.

[@iwatchytwhenimbored1636]

@@thelambsauce1701 fr tho, brynn looks exactly like maddie when they dance together, except maddie can’t do a leg hold turn abby didn’t want brynn to seem like an amazing dancer when she is

[@lukesskywalking]

Abby loves to use "you need to grow up" against them, but these girls were usually very emotionally intelligent for their age. They rarely threw a tantrum and instead would explain what they were feeling, albeit through tears. Still, tears or not, she had no grounds to invalidate them like that all the time.

What makes it worse is that last scene with Chloe they cut it out but she told christy to get Chloe’s lazy eye fixed but I’m sure y’all already know this 🤷🏽‍♀️.

I do kind of feel like Kira had a point. She had been saying since the beginning of that week that this was going to be Kalani's home town and a lot of people were there to see her. I agree they should not be dancing teen, but they could have taken out Nia or just danced teen this one time. It seems a bit unfair to kick someone out the day of because you can't read competition rules.

[@DanceMomsMad]

Kalani had a solo, so she still had a chance to dance on stage. If nia was kicked out the dance she wouldn’t have been able to dance at all that week. That wouldn’t have gone down well she they’d have been accused of racism.

[@emilyelizabeth9647]

@@DanceMomsMad yeah i agree. i honestly just think they should’ve danced teen, i mean it’s not fair that anyone gets kicked out because they are unable to do math or read rules🤷🏻‍♀️ like sorry you lost in the teen category but read the rules next time lol.

[@mallackibrahim405]

@@emilyelizabeth9647 the reason they left the team was because abby called kalani far and wanted her to loose weight it had nothing to do with the group dance and obviously the producers cut that out and defend abby.
