The ALDC team was composed of Caes, Kalani Hilliker, Bridges, Kendall Vertes, Brynn Rumfallo, Nia Frasier Sioux, and the two mini members, Elliana Walmsley and Liliana Ketchman. Except for Kendall Vertes who was wearing a floral dress, all the members of the team were dressed as spooky clowns for their winning performance.
The clown number was inspired by the clown phenomenon that swept across the United States and even Europe. It has been reported that people wearing spooky clown outfits scare other people by chasing, attacking, or luring people into the woods.
While viewers will have to wait until next season to see the horror piece from the “Dance Moms” dancers, dance leader Abby Lee Miller shared a candid snap of Lilliana Ketchman sporting her spooky face makeup on Instagram. She captioned it by saying that she thinks her cute little mini has been clowning around with those older girls, which was obviously a jest.
Brynn Rumfallo also shared on Instagram a shot of her and her teammates in full costume and captioned it by saying that she and her friends in clown costumes.
Abby also teased the solos who competed at the event. After Nia Frasier Sioux performed, Abby talked about her longtime student by saying that their friendship started when Nia was only three years old. She ended by saying that she is very proud of Nia on that day.
