Take A Look At The Girls From ‘Dance Moms’ Then And Now

Ever since Dance Mom’s debuted in 2011, we’ve been captivated by its steady supply of drama and conflict. Abby Lee Miller became known for her matter-of-fact (and sometimes harsh) teaching methods, and, let’s be honest, we were here for the tears and tantrums.

Sweet, doting mothers would often become vicious rivals as they went in to bat for their daughters, and honestly, it was fascinating to watch. We laughed, we cried, and we watched talented little girls blossom into young women right before our eyes.

Abby Lee Miller has been in the headlines for more than just her choreography in more recent years. The dance instructor was diagnosed with Burkitt lymphoma in April 2018.

Abby went through six rounds of chemotherapy and emergency surgery on her spine. Sadly, she was left paraplegic and is now confined to an electric wheelchair.

But along the way, we’ve seen the birth of some stars. Maddie Ziegler shot to fame when she appeared in some of Sia’s music videos, and JoJo Sawa has built an empire with her own range of bows, dolls, games, and even ice cream!

We love a good old-fashioned ‘then and now’ comparison, so we thought it would be fun to see what some of the girls are up to these days. Scroll down to take a look.
