Dance Moms fans are eagerly anticipating the upcoming reunion special, Dance Moms: The Reunion, set to air on May 1 on Lifetime. The two-hour event will bring together many of the original cast members, including JoJo Siwa, Chloé Lukasiak, Brooke Hyland, Paige Hyland, Kendall Vertes, and Kalani Hilliker. Notably absent from the reunion are Nia Sioux and Maddie and Kenzie Ziegler, which has sparked discussions among the participants.
In the trailer for the reunion, Siwa and Vertes express their sentiments about the Zieglers' absence, highlighting the significance of Dance Moms in shaping their careers. The special will feature one-on-one interviews with the former dancers as they reflect on memorable moments from the series and discuss its impact on their lives.
The reunion will also delve into controversial topics, such as Brooke and Paige's retirement from dance and the girls' relationships with their former coach, Abby Lee Miller. The absence of Miller from the reunion adds another layer of complexity to the discussions, as the cast members share their candid thoughts on her coaching style and the challenges they faced.
Despite facing legal troubles and health issues in recent years, Miller remains a central figure in the Dance Moms narrative. The upcoming reunion special promises to provide fans with insights into the cast's current endeavors and relationships, offering a glimpse into the lasting effects of their time on the show.
In addition to the reunion special, fans can look forward to more Dance Moms content, including new streaming content and a 10-episode show titled Dance Moms: Epic Showdowns.
