how come paige and chloe never did many twinny duets? did they have many if any at all before the show? because we’re always seeing either the trio or maddie and chloe but i’d love to see some more chloe and paige twinny duets

Do you think the match up between Kendall, Nia, and Sarah was a fair playing field? Abby doesn’t always play fair but this week was interesting with Nia’s dance standing out with the theme and the speaking in the piece, and then Kendall did Maddie’s dance and we know Maddie has the best choreography. Was it intentional for Sarah to just get a classic Abby acro dance? (Note: I think Sarah R is AMAZING but I was just curious if things were stacked against her)! Love you guys and sending kelly all the healing vibes!

What advice would you give your younger selves now that you've lived through the craziness of reality TV?

Logan (she/her) ♡

Would you rather rewatch all of Season 4 with Jesus himself (with his commentary) OR choreograph a strip routine with Jill for her scandal debut

(ik this is long but i promise its worth your while!!!) Let's play a game! I have created some dances that COULD have been on episodes of dance moms if they were as unhinged as my mind at 5 am. I want you both to assign dancers to the dances 1. Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss: A Trio Style: Jazz-Funk Cast: 3 dancers Concept: Emotional manipulation, high kicks, and delusional slay. Music: Sound-alike to: “Boss B*tch” by Doja Cat Prop: Red flags --- 2. IRS Audit Contemporary Style: Contemporary Cast: Duo Concept: Tax fraud but make it full-body panic. Music: Sound-alike to: “Mad World” Prop: Giant calculator and receipts Ending Pose: Handcuffed, crying --- 3. Anxiety Attack on Stage (ft. Glitter) Style: Lyrical Cast: Solo Concept: Performance anxiety, sweaty turns, glitter as a coping mechanism Music: Sound-alike to: “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” (haunting remix) Prop: Bucket of glitter Ending Pose: Fetal position, sparkles raining down --- 4. Taxidermy Eleganza Style: Jazz / Fashion-Freak Show Cast: Group Concept: Glamorous, dead, and full of sequins Music: Sound-alike to: “Vogue” by Madonna Special Appearance: Stuffed Broadway Baby, center stage in a glass box Ending Pose: Dancers frozen in glass cases, fake eyes wide open --- 5. Prom Night: The Emergency C-Section Style: Musical Theatre Jazz Cast: Trio (Prom Queen, Baby, Nurse) Concept: The baby will be born to an 8-count Music: Sound-alike to: “Run the World (Girls)” by Beyoncé Prop: Prom dress that becomes a hospital gown Ending Pose: Prom Queen holding baby in spotlight, audience screaming --- 6. She Stopped Eating, That’s Why She’s Not Fat Style: Dramatic Lyrical Cast: Solo Opener: “STOP EATING, THAT’S WHY YOU’RE FAT!!” – Kelly Hyland, 2011 Concept: A dancer takes the most unhinged moment in Dance Moms history and spirals into a dramatic portrayal of body image and shame. Music: Sound-alike to: “Skinny Love” by Bon Iver Prop: Half-eaten sandwich Ending Pose: Collapsed under spotlight, sandwich untouched, soul gone Have fun bitches - the 4 year old who once watched dance moms (i just turned 19!!)

I want to know how pissed you think Abby was when she found out Chloe did the music video for “fool me once”? 🤣🤣🤣 I know she was livid when she got a movie role

Kat

Random question here!! How did Abby/ production find the music for the dances on the show? Did they just search whatever style or artist they were going for followed by “sound alike”? Like “Lorde ‘Royals’ sound alike?” I’ve always wondered!! Love you bitches thanks for brightening up my days in the office!! ❤️

Bailey

Not a question, but I’ve been going back and listening to old episodes as I watch through the show and I think the best thing is not only am I getting fun commentary but also it’s reminding me how wild the year has been 😂

Elizabeth

How relieved were you that Chloe wasn’t involved in this solo showdown?

Elizabeth

Kelly, what’s it been like watching episodes that you and your kids aren’t in? Are you enjoying it as much as you expected? I am nervous for you both to see what they say about you in season five… and I only know what was said on camera 🥴

S S

Correction on the last one Prop: half-eaten WARM sandwich. Otherwise, Kendall would need the special part of Amanda being yelled at. Taxidermy eleganza killed me. Cue Nia or Chlo shooting Mackenzie dressed as Bambie.

Blue Jai

There’s a never-shown solo with one of the candy apples boys this episode and I just wonder why Cathy’s costumes were so hit and miss sometimes? You’ll send a dancer out in boxers or pants and no shirt, they gave Kendall a lower-quality Red Queen costume. If they had more time to learn their dances, why did it seem like the costumes weren’t always up to par?

S S

As a non-dancer, why is everyone always fixing costumes? What so there to sew?

Sara Strassner

What was up with Abby’s weird obsession with Holly’s husband?

Nichola Valda Neeson

How did you get to nationals before the show? When you were learning a solo or group dance how could enter j It?

the cream on abby’s cheese mat

if you could go back and time, knowing what you know now— what would you say to your girls as they start their journey on dance moms?

Hailee Innis

Did you know any of the select team kids or moms before they came on the show? Did you ever see them compete before?

Sājikoyōte

Sometimes I think Abby had a little crush on Holly; maybe she was jealous of her husband ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Jenny Joy

Even though my heart breaks more for young Chloe every week, my awe of her courage and resilience multiplies as you share the details of what she was going through behind the scenes. Her ability to face each week with such poise and grace while being tormented on national television, being excluded from opportunities and even meals, and facing an unknown medical condition—all at the tender ages of 12 and 13–is so unbelievably admirable. I couldn’t be any prouder of all that she has overcome-even if she was my own little sister.

Jenny Joy

After last week’s unaired dance (even though they eventually air it on Girl Talk), I’ve been thinking about all of the other unaired dances—do you think we’ll ever see the footage? On season 8, they had an episode that showed all of the unaired dances…I was hoping they would eventually do the same for earlier seasons. Why do think they haven’t released them all of these years later? To continue the same narratives about the girls’ abilities or something else?

Enrique Olguin

Ava had been trying to join the team since s3 but they picked Ally .. Kelly remembers Brooke competing against Jade before

NicoleWhy

Just an observation: Christi’s dress in pyramid was a straight up tragic. Love you guys!

Alexis

General burning question… not sure if you can answer or whether you know or not, but any idea why Kira won’t be going to kalani’s wedding? I know it was mentioned in a previous episode that she wasn’t attending so now I’m curious 🧐

Taylor Lambiase

Please get jill and cathy to do an episode together but don’t tell each one that the other one will be on. They both will just join the zoom and see eachother.

JohnMonty03

Prior to the show, hypothetically speaking if Abby had treated the other students just as fairly and equal level of respect and dignity towards the Ziegler’s, do you believe more students and parents would have stayed at the studio? Furthermore, would that have sparked more of an interest from the other parents and students in terms of auditioning for the show?

Ursula

What do cast members smell like? (Perfume lol) You know some people smell floral all the time, others smell like vanilla etc. I saw Chloe post about her perfumes a while ago and i think scent is very interesting and says a lot about people!

Ursula

Do you wish the girls still danced ? What’s one dance style you wished they would’ve tried? (Flamenco, belly dance, salsa, samba, ball room, waltz, etc).

Alejandro Marin

Why was Kelly the reason Abby didn’t take discover card anymore? Sending hugs and love to you both

Lia Pombo

Can you explain what the beer bottle situation with Leslie was? Also love you guys and sending so much love and healing to Kelly! You guys make my week

William Grubbs

Kelly did the song One by Ashley Jana scar you and Paige since it’s the song Paige forgot her dance too.….. it sure gives me goose bumps when I listen to it 😖 but it was 100% Abby’s fault

Amanda with the cold sandwich

Did you know what weeks the select ensemble would be coming in or was it always a surprise? Which girls have you seen at competitions, auditions, etc before they got on the show?

Lazar

Is the competition that the girls attend judged by kids ,because in season 5 the girls returns to this competition (DanceKidsUSA) and it was a huuugeeee deal make by Abby, because the girls is gonna be watched and judged by them own peers? Love u both from Bulgaria!!

Blue Jai

This might be an after party question, but how/how long did it take for you guys to get used to the dance comp jargon? “She won the whole thing. They announced she got a 500 and that’s the only High Diamond of the day” is a sentence that just wouldn’t make sense when you’re just getting into the competition world.

Misty Ferguson

Were there behind the scenes conversations about Abby’s treatment of Chloe (ex the music video) with the other mothers? It seems like they never acknowledged it on the show or interviews.

Bella Beany

This isn’t a question but an interesting observation, i was rewatching this episode in preparation for the next podcast episode, and the shot of the building we see that says “Dance Kids USA Competition- Orlando, FL” isn’t actually in Orlando!! that building was in Columbus, OH from when you guys were there in the beginning of the season and did “Just Another Number” and Chloe’s Katy Perry solo. I know this because I was actually at this competition and competed against you guys (and have a funny story about meeting Abby and Cathy), and I also live in Columbus. But I thought this was interesting how the editors can just throw something random in and the viewers have no idea if it’s true or not.

Brianna Nicole

How do you ladies feel about competition entrances and exits? Ive always noticed that ALDC was really the only one that had a pretty walk or something in theme with the number that got all the dancers off the stage. So many of the teams (and even the girls when they competed with other choreographers) would just bow and walk off. Was this something that put Abbys choreography above the rest or was it actually pretty common? Whats ur personal preference? Thanks ladies. Kelly keep kicking ass and Christy you're doing great too ☺️❤️

Charlie

I know you're asking them but, in my experience, it's just in certain circumstances. Like sometimes you have to sew headpieces into the hair to make sure they don't fall off during the dance. If you get a costume off the rack and not custom made (happened a lot at my studio) you may slightly alter it to look better fitted on the dancer's body. Those are just a couple reasons :))

Charlie

Maybe a dumb question but I truly don't remember. Was Chloe's MRI that you guys missed rehearsal for actually for her foot, or was that for her eye and you didn't tell Abby the truth for reasons you stated before? I know she does end up breaking her foot for real, I'm just wondering if this was an instance in which you were protecting Chloe from having her condition become a storyline for Abby to exploit.

B

During the recaps (mainly s6 and s7) when they would have the mother and daughter recap the most memorable moments, did they really show you the clips that were shown on tv ? For example, in s7 they had an episode called “Abby’s last dance” where they talk about the entire show of dance moms. Bryan constantly says “let’s take a look at that” and then makes it seem as though he’s showing Abby the clips that we are seeing on tv.

margo

Dying to know why Kiera isn’t going to the wedding

B

Is there still a secret secret project lol

Steven Kaufman

If you both could rewrite your exits from S4, how would you do it? What storylines would you give yourself/add to the season?

Addisen Burgos

General question: what is a sickled foot? What does it look like, what dose it mean, and what should the foot look like?

Brianna Burton

This was around the time the girls were featured on Abby’s studio rescue. What was the discussion on why Chloe didn’t go?

I don’t have a problem area, I’m a problem

I have four month old twins and I've been listening to the podcast since I was pregnant. I swear my son and daughter find your voices soothing at this point lol I love my children more than I can ever express and love watching them learn new things every day. What have been some of your favorite mom moments with your kids, either on or off the show, and what are your favorite things about them?

nick pagan

What are some fun moments between the moms that you wish made the air?

margo

Would love to know this too

AshleyM

Did you still have to pay for tuition, costumes, comp fee’s etc. after the show started? Or did lifetime do all of that?

AshleyM

This!!! I remember them talking about it over a year ago. Then I didn’t hear anything or I missed it!

Cia Later

In the episode "The Recital to End All Recitals", how does the field notes describe the conversation between Jill & Leslie in the parking lot? There seems to be a lot of trick shot editing in that scene.
