"From
Abby Lee Miller's intensity and her students' incredible performances to their
devoted moms and its high drama, Dance Moms has become one of the most
compelling shows on television. It has struck a clear chord, hooking in
die-hard fans clamoring for more, and we're excited to bring Dance Moms
