The Dance Moms squad is getting back together. Lifetime announced that some of the fan-favorite dancers and moms from the show will be reuniting “to talk about the good, bad and everything else in between” for a Dances Moms Reunion television special. Produced by Six West Media, it’s set to air in 2024 on Lifetime.

The network also shared a photo of Dance Moms alums Chloe Lukasiak, Paige Hyland, Brooke Hyland, JoJo Siwa, Kendall Vertes, and Kalani Hilliker (see above).

“you heard it here first… the squad is officially back together for a #DanceMoms reunion coming 2024 only on @Lifetimetv!!” the official Dance Moms X account (fka Twitter) announced.

The show, which ran eight seasons from 2011 to 2019 and featured 10 specials, focused on the training and careers of children in dance and show business under the show’s host and instructor Abby Lee Miller as well as the relationships between Miller, the dancers,...

Lean in close, because Dance Moms alum Asia Monet Ray has a secret about the making of reality TV: Sometimes the editing can be kinda misleading. "Certain things that were on the show were obviously creative editing of just making certain pieces splice together," she shared with E! News. "We had to wear the same clothes for like a week. So certain things could be taken out of context." Oh, that's not a secret at all? Most of Bachelor Nation and pretty much every person that's appeared on Teen Mom has been saying that for years? Got it. But here's something we did find at least a little surprising—there's not one part of Abby Lee Miller that was...

In honor of Step Up: All In being release on Blu-Ray, DVD and On Demand today, we asked the kids' authority on dance, Asia Monet Ray, to list the Top 5 Dance Movies. Asia is one of the dancers on Lifetime's "Dance Moms" (who pretty much always wins!) and had her own spin-off series this summer, "Raising Asia" (scroll down to check out her own amazing footwork). Here's her list:

1. The Step Up Movies: Everyone that loves dance and in the dance industry knows and loves these movies. They're my top dance movies right now. Also, I love Stephen Boss (Twitch). He's in the movies and I've taken several of his convention classes, so it's great to see him. I love the choreography as well.

2. High School Musical, High School Musical 2, and High School Musical: Senior Year: I've always loved these movies because they were funny and...

It’s no secret that Lifetime has become infamous for their reality television shows dealing with dancing. Shows such as Dance Moms, Bring It! and Abby’s Ultimate Dance Competition have attracted huge numbers of fans around the world over the years. The network’s newest dance-related show Raising Asia follows former Dance Moms star Asia Monet Ray and her family as Asia continues to build her career.

We're sure the women of “Dance Moms” will have a lot to say about this. “Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition” alum and off-and-on team member of The Abby Lee Dance Company on “Dance Moms,” Asia Monet Ray, will star in her very own Lifetime reality show titled “Raising Asia.” The series, which follows mom Kristie and the phenomenal 8-year-old dancer and longtime YouTube star, is set to debut on Tuesday, July 29 at 10 p.m. with 14 half-hour episodes.

Dance Moms fans know Asia Monet Ray as the wriggling little firebrand who parlayed her Abby’s Ultimate Dance Competition notoriety into a couple-season stint on Abby Lee Miller’s original Lifetime hit. Now Ray and her no-nonsense mom Kristie — who also made a splash on both series — have landed a 14-episode gig of their own. Raising Asia will premiere July 29 on Lifetime, at the oddly kid-unfriendly hour of 10/9Ct.
