I am enjoying getting caught up on Dance Moms recaps today but I am not going to recap all four episode. I started with the episode with the coffin group dance. Of course I thought that was a horrible idea, but I actually thought they did a great job at the competition and was surprised they placed so low. Lily is clearly the lead now that Brady had some sort of prior commitment or something. I don’t believe for a moment that Abby wanted to bench Brady. I also don’t understand what happened with Savannah.
Basically, this team is not cohesive. Now that Yolanda and Elianna are back the problems have intensified. I don’t understand how all the other girls on the team can get to practice while homeschooling but Elianna can’t. PLUS, her mother is at rehearsals without her. Isn’t she her homeschool teacher? Also, if Elianna really was studying ancient Greece a trip to Rome would most certainly count toward her home schooling. When I missed school while living in Libya because we needed to leave the country for two week and return for our visas, I kept journals and did my math homework on the plane. All the kids did. And we blew our standardized tests out of the water.
What Is With All The Props?
They have scissorhands, ropes, tables, coffins and all matter of crazy things. And crazy dances. They had a dance about hazing that made no sense. Now they are doing a dance with blood. I get these kids are not as good as the originals, but is all of this over the top stuff with the props really necessary?
Oh look another new kid. She looks like a mini. How will Kamryn fit into this group? Is she just a soloist?

I’m finally on the last episode in my DVR. Brady is back. Ellianna is back. And Jo Jo with the Bow Bow is making a special guest appearance. Jo Jo is pretty much the only one of the former ALDC dancers who visited Abby when she was in the hospital. She’s such a sweet girl. I am thrilled by her success. She has 8.5 million Instagram followers! BTW, my IG is much improved with the help of an app that puts up my photos. If you have Instagram, please follow me! I just need a few more followers to get me to 7K!
This water dance is ridiculous. I hope that the competition doesn’t let them use the water.
OMG Lilliana’s straight jacket performance was one of the best solos ever to happen on this show. And she did it all with no arms! She has to have won first place! Elliana was very good. She will be a strong second to Lillana. But Lily has this. Elliana is such a crybaby. If she can’t take Abby’s critiques she needs to go home. ALDC is not for the weak and sensitive types. Perhaps she would be better with a coach with a different teaching style. She needs to either save her tears for the pillow or go home. She’s going to ruin the group dance if she keeps this drama up.

Elliana came in THIRD. Lilliana won with a PERFECT SCORE. And I cried. WHY AM I CRYING? Then the group dance gets FOURTH. In Pittsburgh. This is not good.
I had a very enjoyable time catching up on this show. It’s difficult for me to recap each week just due to my schedule. But I am hoping you guys are still watching.
Lilliana’s straight jacket dance was incredible! I can’t even walk without using my arms as balance!
the mothers are horrible and toxic. Lilly mom particularly. i would leave that show. they need to get kids from the studio. They are strangers dancing. Now Abby does not look crazy.
Still love to watch Dance Moms every Tuesday. This coming week ads look really interesting. Wonder who Abby Lee is calling the cops on?!? Keep up the great work Tamara. ❤️
So apparently the tea is that Savannah’s mom wasn’t working out/bringing the drama, and because her and Eli are apparently best friends in real life (I saw dozens of photos of them together to apparently support the claim), they took it as an opportunity to leave since production supposedly wanted them to have a “bff breakup” storyline. Because she left in the middle of production, they purposefully cut Savannah and her mom out of everything non essential which is why we never really got to know them.
It’s crazy to me that the OG moms and daughters, who were just a bunch of random families from Pittsburg, brought more entertainment and star power than these people who have willingly auditioned for years. These kids are too good – I just don’t find it as entertaining watching world title holders pretend to dance for fake local competitions. I DIED laughing during the scene where Abby was practically begging Brady’s mom to throw a cake for dramatic effect.
It’s also very bizarre to me that they’re actively using the children for drama storylines, and having the team fight amongst itself. That was never, ever the direction of the original.
I think for this show to survive she needs to find a group of kids and moms she actually interacts with on the regular. It was entertaining in the beginning because they were all “friends”.
I can’t stand THE STRANGLER Yolanda.
Lily deserved every one of those perfect 300 points. (Either Maddie or Chloe must have gotten the other two perfect scores Abby referred to, but I don’t remember them.)
I am disappointed in the Ziegler family. They KNEW what they were getting into, the show made them famous all over the world and they ditched and backstabbed Abby. I understand we don’t see everything and I would not have been able to handle it as a child, but they chose to stay. And stay. I wonder what Mrs. Miller is thinking…
Jojo was a delight to see. She can laugh at herself and gave the girls good advice and perspective. No bitterness there.
Never a fan of JoJo and her Mother. Her Mother even admitted that they left the show because of all the conflict and not getting along with Abby. JoJo isn’t resonating as much as she used to with her Bows, and such. My nine year old is like Mom she is for kids under seven lol.
I did read that the Ziegler family staying on contact for a long time until Abby wouldn’t stop pestering them to appear on the show. They were done and had made it clear.
Sadly, these girls just don’t dane well as a group. They arn’t friends and there’s no connection. And their moms don’t go for coffee. The producers have not brought together a cohesive group. Back to the drawing board.
I was just looking at an event my son’s at, at Mandalay Bay.
Below his event i was surprised to see JoJo Siwa has a huge show there. A couple weeks prior to Cher and Janet Jackson. I had no idea she was doing that well.
Impressive.
Yep she is kind of a big deal on the kids circuit.
I worry for little Hannah. She doesn’t have the personality to hack it in showbiz. She’s too quit and insecure.
I have not been a fan of Lily’s styling in her interviews and now in the kid’s reunion.
