Abby Lee Miller’s reality TV return is (almost) upon us.
More than a year after the former Dance Moms star revealed that she was bringing her own version of the Lifetime series back to TV, viewers are getting their first look at Abby Lee Dance With Me.
“It was a cultural phenomenon that captured the attention of millions of viewers around the world,” Abby says in the trailer for the upcoming show, while showing clips from her ‘Dance Moms’ days. “Hundreds of dancers from across the United States competed in pursuit of their dreams. Only one woman made their dreams a reality.
“Now, twelve years later after it all began, I’m back and better than ever,” she continues, as viewers begin to get a sneak peek of the new series. “The dreams and screams continue.”
As The Ashley previously told you, Abby announced in May 2020 that she was leaving ‘Dance Moms’ after nine years. The following month, she was accused of making racially insensitive remarks to former cast members, resulting in Lifetime yanking her series Abby’s Virtual Dance Off.
After previously implying that there was bad blood between her and Lifetime regarding her show contract, Abby confirmed last year that her new dance series will have “nothing to do with that network.”
As the trailer for her new series continues, Abby is seen instructing dancers, conducting one-on-one interviews and even donning tiara while waiving a scepter for some truly unhinged unique elimination ceremonies.
“This season, I’m traveling the country in search of talented dancers, whose training will wipe out the competition,” she says in the clip. “From Orlando to Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago and San Antonio, I am giving guidance, training and tough love to weed out the weak.”
Abby goes on to explain that each week, dancers from each city mentioned above will “battle to the end” and compete in a final championship in the hopes of being “crowned the winner.”
“Through the pain, tears and beauty of dance, I will once again discover, coach and mentor amazing dancers,” she says. “I did it before and I’ll do it again. I’m back and a whole new era of dancers– along with their dance moms– are ready to take on the world.”
Abby shared the trailer and latest update on ‘Abby Lee Dance With Me’ Tuesday on social media, telling followers she “can’t wait to share this incredible talent with the world.” She also thanked a handful of individuals– including former ‘Dance Moms’ star JoJo Siwa– “for hosting some of our filming days at their studios.”
As The Ashley previously told you, JoJo and a number of OGs from ‘Dance Moms’ reunited (without Abby) in November to film Dance Moms: The Reunion, premiering May 1 on Lifetime.
A premiere date for ‘Abby Lee Dance With Me’ has yet to be announced, though she has stated on social media that the series will stream on Season 9 TV.

I will never understand how the parents allowed their children to be emotionally abused in front of them.
Never watched and won’t be watching this one.
Season 9 TV? Never heard of it
