June 25, 2013 Lori Acken

I dunno, Dance Moms fans. This season is starting to feel like the tail end of the school year, where there’s nothing left to learn, your best friends have already ditched out on vacation, the teachers are substitutes and we’re mostly killing time while the sun shines elsewhere. I’m getting crabby. Well, worse crabby. And there’s no official final bell in sight freeing me to a different playground. Once again we start out in sunny California, where Maddie is practicing the solo she will perform on Season 2 of Abby’s Ultimate Dance Competition (most probably a September premiere). Abby says […]
