Dance leader Abby Lee Miller appears to have gotten her way with the producers of the dance competition reality TV series “Dance Moms” on Lifetime.
Just last month, Abby Lee Miller went ballistics on the producers of the show after they have let go the Mini Team. She insists that the Mini Team has been an integral feature of the show since the second season, aside from the fact that the team is also a viable source for the next new young dancers for “Dance Moms.”
Apparently, the producers have already made up their mind so there was no turning back on their decision to let go of the Mini Team and its members.
However, it seems that Abby still has some semblance of clout in the show which is why when filming for Season 7 of “Dance Moms” began last week, it was highly noted that two members of the Mini Team came back to do the filming.
Documenting everything on Instagram
Elliana Walmsley and Liliana Ketchman, former members of the Mini Team in “Dance Moms,” were shown competing as part of ALDC at the Dream National Dance Competition in Placenta, California on October 1.
Nine-year-old Elliana then proudly showed photos of herself and eight-year-old Lilliana on her Instagram account and also another one with her teammates sporting ALDC jackets en route to the competition, details the International Business Times.
The following day, Elliana shared another shot of her and Lilliana wearing matching costumes and thanking Abby for having faith in them in the caption. She said that it has been a long time coming and expressed so much love for everything that is happening to her. She also said that she is going to do a duet with her best friend.
Lilliana also shared a similar photo, saying that she was so happy to be back at “Dance Moms” and sharing the stage with her best friend Elliana.
Elliana also competed with the elite junior team and shared photos from her experiences with the older girls. She captioned the photo with how teamwork should be and it featured Kendall Vertes fixing her hair. One other photo showed Elliana in full costume and she also thanked Brynn Rumfallo for the help extended to her hairstyle.
The end of the road for Abby
There were also rumors going around that Abby Lee Miller might not be around during the entire Season 7 of “Dance Moms” especially when her fraud case prospers soon and many law experts are saying that she might end up with some jail time.
There are also reports saying that the reason why Abby would not be around much in the upcoming seventh season is because the young dancers and the dance moms no longer want her in the show.
At the start of filming for Season 7 of “Dance Moms,” Abby Lee Miller was her usual self when she challenged the elite dancers and their mothers. She asked them all if they can say to her face that they do not want her teaching them anymore.
Abby was also quoted as asking the question whether it is already the end of the road for her and all of them or still not, notes Game & Guide.
While the future doesn’t bode well for “Dance Moms” Season 7, Abby Lee Miller already started casting newbies for the upcoming season. Camryn Bridges and Daviana Fletcher shall reportedly join the ALDC team for Season 7.
During the sixth season of “Dance Moms” on the Lifetime channel, dance leader Abby Lee Miller introduced a Mini Team of younger dancers that were supposed to be the pool for the next dance talents in the show.
The Mini Team also took part in several competitions. Some of the members of the Mini Team showed a semblance of promising dance talents but it seems that the producers of “Dance Moms” think otherwise.
The show would not be the same without Abbey.yes she did mess up with legal issues but you try dealing with that many moms and different personalities. My daughter did pageants for 15 years and believe me it is _ ell when 20 moms think their chicky is # 1. I also took and taught dance years ago and believe me if our moms acted like that we would have been sent packing. Maybe you should consider banning the moms and just make the show about the girls and their teachers.those moms need a few lessons in respect!
Very disappointed the mini’s will not be returning. I have watched many episodes throughout the seasons but I find the elite mms to be irritating. they make comments abt the mini moms but they the need to point fingers at themselves. Most irritating is Jill and then JoJo’s mom. Jill needs to remember what it was like for her and Kendall when they began the show. how many arguments and name calling has she done? How abt their treatment of Brynn? And yet, the make comments abt mini mom’s. How abt the moms clapping when Abby announced the minis would not be perform at the next competition-nasty and down right rude. My fav mini is Peyton. She reminds me of Mia when she began. Pls allow these minis to perform
The minis should return to dance moms. They are brilliant and awesome dancers. The junior elites moms have been very disrespectful to the minis. Its rude and disgusting. They were acting like teenagers. Please Please Please let the minis be on dance moms again. My favorite mini dancers are Ariana and Liliana. Ariana has brilliant techniques and turns. Liliana is an adorable lovely dancer. I love her solo step by step. She nailed all her tricks and showed what she was worth. Also her solo bad blood was amazing and fierce. :-)
