Bryan Stinson, executive producer of Dance Moms, announced today via Twitter that he, his co-producers at Collins Avenue and Lifetime are seeking a brand new dance studio to add to the Dance Moms franchise.
According to the announcement, the chosen studio — which will get its own series — must be accomplished in the national competition world and have a dynamic, well-respected dance instructor.

Interested parties can nominate a studio by e-mailing Lindsay Liles at LindsayLilesCasting@gmail.com with the following information in the body of the e-mail:
• Studio name
• City and state
• Name of dance instructor
• Why the studio merits its own show
Dance Moms fans might also be interested — and maybe a little nervous — to know that Collins Avenue also has a casting announcement posted on its web site seeking additional dancer/mom combos to join the Abby Lee Dance Studio. You can find that info here.
So what do you think, Dance Moms Nation? Are Christi, Kelly, Holly, Jill and Melissa history? Or are they just getting some company in the studio and the Mom Loft? And are you excited about a new addition to the Dance Moms family, do you want Dance Moms Miami back or is the original the only one that can claim your heart — and Tuesday nights? Let us know what you think in the comments section below.

I would love it on Tuesday nights again. NO MORE DANCE MOMS MIAMI!! The reason why that show stopped is because dance moms stole our heart and that was just an imitation of it. ( NO OFFENSE )
I love Dance Moms with Abby Lee! My 17 year old and I watch it faithfully with tears in our eyes from laughter. Abby is a character along with the over the top moms make the show ibteresting to watch. The girls are extremely talented and we enjoy the competitions. Now lets get down to business. Absolutely do NOT bring Miami back for another season. I watched one episode and had a headache. Please dont make the show all about Maddie , shes good but after watching the Ultimate Competition, she is not all that fabulous. Chole is amazing as a dancer and beautiful in spirit, just need to gain a few pounds. Nia, bless her little heart ( Aisa will overshadow Nia, Mckenzie, and Kendall if joined the show) Jill really need to stop pimping Kendall for every opportunity and allow the girl evolve and grow. I dont want hear Kellys threats of leaving, either stay or go. No whining about favortism and Abby weight. Oh I forgot about Brooke….pursue your dreams as a ..not sure if she will sing or dance. I cant wait for season 3 I love the show!
We don’t need another Dance Moms spin-off. I didn’t watch Miami. Nobody can compete with Abby Lee Miller and her dancers with their moms. Don’t even try. You will burn out the product and they will all go down in flames.
I love the original dance mom. No need for anything new. I haven’t got enough of the original yet. I love watching the girls perform. And I agree I wish I could watch their whole performance and not 40sec of it.
Abby has never presented herself as a dancer. She is a great teacher and choreographer. I love the girls and the moms are just being protective of their daughter. No one can judge what is enough protecting of a child by a mother. I welcome the thought of Asia joining Dance Mom’s. I also love the Abby Ultimate competition. The drama that occurs in the show is reality. You have a group of mothers with their dancing daughters, some of them are dance teachers. Well, it does bring the diversity of personalities, and the degree of dancing technique each child have at the moment of competition. Asia is just a freak of nature dancing speaking. She is just 6 years old, the other dancers are 10 years old and over, and you have to agree she is holding her own when comparing the ages and motor control the older girls have over her. Love both shows can’t have enough. About Abby’s “big mouth”? I had a Russian ballet teacher, mouth and long pointer…….. we loved him!
Sophia Lucia and a couple of other girls will be in the 2nd episode of dance moms where it looks like all the originals leave but it’ll only be for one episode.
NDC NEEDS TO BE ON DANCE MOMS. TEAMBRYANT TEAMTAYLOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love dance moms and i think that you should stop cutting the girls dances short i will love to see the whloe dance but u guys always cut it..its alot of pepole serching for the full dance but can never find it the girls work too hard for us to see just 4s0ecods of it..The drama is great too and a new mom and dancer my make the show better
And yes i do think u should bring dance moms mami back i love seeing lucus and kimmy duet and i love mia and victor..but if you dnt bring it back i will love to see autumn miller,sophia lucia, or jorden jones studio get a show they are so talented!!!
I don’t like the show because- – – – –
I think ABBY is a loud mouth, no talent want a be.
She’s to heavy to show anyone how to dance correctly.
Change it up…the original moms are getting really annoying and I don’t see anything we haven’t seen before happening with the original girls. The moms in Abby’s ultimate dance competition are interesting…and ALL of those girls are talented…keep Maddie and Chloe and put them up against some of them…or keep Kendall and Nia too so they can compete against some of those talented girls so their mothers can finally see they have no talent and its really not because of anything Abby does or doesn’t do to/ for them….that would be worth watching!
I love all the girls from Dance Moms. Who am I to say who has talent and who does not. Abby have no talent? I wonder who have been teaching those girls to dance? All the girls have a different style of dancing. Chloe is the prima ballerina of the group, no other have her body style. She is gorgeous. Maddie have the best technique, Brook is just so beautiful and and her acrobatics is just a pleasure to watch. Paige is just Paige, a future Miss Universe, a very good dancer also. Nia, I love Nia she is doing what she loves without jeopardizing her education. I enjoy watching her dance also. Paige have a problem, she is not finished adjusting to her hight yet and that makes her look sometimes uncoordinated. She will be fine if she can keep her mother from being so defensive. Kendal a beautiful girl who is not like her mother. Jill does not measure her “motherly” behavior because she is too busy doing what she think is best for her daughter. I love the show bring in Asia and Jordyn. Abby needs to increase her hip hop routines at competition.
I made a gross mistake, I forgot the name of the girls that gets called out to join the girls at competitions, her mother fights a lot with Chloe’s mom, and left abruptly from the birthday party after insulting Brooks mom. Her daughter is the one I feel is not adjusted to her hight. Sorry
I don’t want dance moms miami to be back on.
If you replace Melissa, Christi, Holly, Kelly,or Jill, no one will watch it. The show would not be the same without them!!! I would stop watching lifetime all together if you replace them!
I would love to see Justise join the group & wouldn’t mind losing/replacing a couple of the mental moms & their kids. Everyone’s replaceable. Would be awesome to see Asia from Abby’s Ultimate Dance join the casting, but how could a family move to Pittsburg for that?!
My family and I love Dance Mom Miami, they inspire my son to dance and the coaches are amazing choreographers. I love all the dancer’s personality.
The show is very entretaining with lots of drama (crazy moms)Please bring them back!!!
Dance moms will not be the same if they replace the girls or their moms. I feel the show will lose alot of fans. I love the girls and the moms,I enjoy all the drama. Leave well enough alone!
I agree with Debra about Jill/Kendall going. I wouldn’t watch if the original girls were to leave, and that means CHLOE, PAIGE, NIA, MADDIE, MACKENZIE and BROOKE. I actually would prefer if Jill left, but I’ll still watch Jill/Kendall. If any of the original girls listed above were to leave, then the show would lose the charm that it has. THOSE girls MAKE the show!!
I agree with Dani. I could deal with Jill/Kendall being gone, but if Chloe, Brooke, Paige and Nia and their moms are not there, I won’t watch. As for a completely seperate Dance Moms show, I absolutely will not watch. Lifetime, if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it!
I forgot to say, I do kind of think that Tanya and Justise from Cathys might be on the new season at the ALDC. The show did give a bit of a hint that Tanya is not happy at Cathys, and we all can see that Justise is Cathy’s only dancer that may have a future, a future he will never get at Candy Apples. Cathy uses him to attempt to make Vivve look like a dancer. It would be interesting, maybe? to have Tanya and Justise join the ALDC team, the team now, not a new one, because we all want to keep the team as it is. Though personally, if Jill were to go away, I wouldn’t lose sleep. 🙂
I wouldn’t mind seeing another “dance moms” spinoff. No, I do not want to see Dance Moms Miami back- I did not like that one at all!! If they could find the right studio, and the right kids/moms, then it might work. I would at least give it a try.
As for watching if the girls from this series (Chloe, Nia, Paige, Brooke, Maddie and Mackenzie) are NOT on it, then I wouldn’t watch. I think what makes this show work well is the girls, and the chemistry they have with eachother. They all love eachother and they have a bond that they’ve shared for a long time together- they have history. If they added a girl or 2, then that might be ok, but I wouldn’t watch if they took away any of the girls. I understand that maybe Brooke may need to move up because of her age, but I would be very upset to see any of the girls go. I would definitely NOT watch at all if Chloe left, but also love the other girls as well. I think they (the producers) need to be careful before they just think they can “replace” the girls with “new” girls. People watch this show because they love the girls and love the bond they have with eachother and the love and support they show eachother. That’s not something you can just “replace” with new girls.
