Lifetime has announced the highly-anticipated return of the original Dance Moms cast for a special TV reunion event. The reunion, set to air on Wednesday, May 1 at 8 p.m. ET, will feature the fan-favorite dancers and their mothers reflecting on the most memorable moments from the series.
The original Dance Moms series, which aired between 2011 and 2017, followed the young dancers of choreographer Abby Lee Miller's dance company in Pittsburgh. The junior elite competition team included iconic names such as Maddie Ziegler, Mackenzie Ziegler, Nia Frazier, Chloe Lukasiak, Brooke Hyland, and Paige Hyland. As the show gained popularity, dancers Kendall Vertes, Kalani Hilliker, and JoJo Siwa also joined the squad.
The upcoming reunion will see Chloe, Brooke, Paige, Kendall, Kalani, and JoJo returning alongside their respective mothers. The special will include in-depth interviews with the cast members, discussions on controversial moments from the show, updates on their current endeavors, insights into their relationships with their moms, and revelations about the drama surrounding props and costumes.
While Abby Lee Miller, known for her tough teaching methods, will not be part of the reunion, the cast members are set to delve into various aspects of their Dance Moms experience. The reunion will also be accompanied by over nine hours of exclusive digital content on Lifetime's streaming platforms, starting March 18.
Additionally, Chloe's mom, Christi, will host a 10-episode compilation show titled Dance Moms: Epic Showdowns, premiering on Wednesday, May 1 at 10 p.m. ET. The show will feature highlights of the original series' most explosive dance battles and parent meltdowns.
As the Dance Moms stars come together after years apart, fans can expect a nostalgic trip down memory lane and a deeper look into the impact the show had on their lives. The reunion promises to be a must-watch event for fans of the iconic reality series.
