The way Abby speaks to Debbie Allen is disgusting Debbie is poised and graceful in her response of course

Hey divas! Not an exact question about the episode but rather a little bit of ALDC history. I know you both have mentioned on the show and on the pod that in Abby’s studio contract, if you were holding a title you couldn’t leave the studio and if you did you owed her $100,000 cash within 7 days (she’s actually nuts). Did anyone ever actually give her that money to leave because they wanted to get the hell out so bad? Also! Speaking of $100,000 in cash, you have both also mentioned the funky finances of the ALDC pre Dance Moms. With out being sued into oblivion, can you say more on the money drama at the studio before the show? Has Abby always had weird/shady money problems? Would love to know the tea but don’t want you two to get served so answer however you can lol. Love you both 💋

It is really disheartening that no one says anything when Abby made an overt racist remark. I remember in season 3 when the whole Rosa Parks role Christi clearly and very sarcastically said oh let Rosa be played by one of the blondes because it wasn’t right for Jill to expect Kendall to be up for the role. Abby has no experience in African Dance so she had no idea what was the correct posture of the dance moves. I find it very ironic that the other moms do not admit to being mean or wrong especially when you guys own the good bad and the ugly.

I’ve been waiting to ask this question so long. I think Christi’s perspective is a little more applicable here since she’s argued with the moms more often. Ashlee has gone on to say that she was given the directive to pick a fight with Kira. We know Kira doesn’t ever care or feel like she has to do that, so Kira wasn’t responding to the insults Ashlee threw about her being late or uncommitted. So, Ashlee said “in that situation, when someone’s not biting, you kinda have to go for the jugular and it wasn’t nice but it’s what I had to do.” Christi, this was often the case with you and Melissa. How do both of you feel about Ashlee’s actions with that context, especially knowing Kira doesn’t play ball on the show most of the time?

Hey sorry this isn’t related to the episode but Kelly are there any solos Paige competed before the show (and off the show) that you would’ve liked to see her compete on the show (I know they did double take but I’m sure there were loads more she could’ve competed)

Can't wait for you guys to see the dance "Build The Wall" after the 2016 Election.

Hi guys! I was wondering if Abby was still teaching classes outside of the show during the filming of Dance Moms. I know that a lot of the new moms wanted their kids to be "trained by Abby" so I was wondering if they could get that "training" without having to be on the show. I know that the real reason was to be on TV but I'm surprised the other moms never argued this point (if it was the case). Thank you, love you both!

Hey ladies , just watching back the season and seeing the absolute worst behaviour from some of the moms especially Jill and Jess, putting a child down and making smirking faces when Brynn is given any sort of criticism is disgraceful!! I don’t understand how Jill someone who has been on the show since season 2 and was treated considerably well by the other moms and children….not once did any of you other moms disrespectful of Kendal. Kendal was welcomed and supported whereas Brynn is being so badly criticised by the other moms it’s so hard to watch. Jill and Jess are becoming Abby and it’s sad to see the moms acting like Abby to a 11 year old when they were so mad and upset when it happened to their child

Maddie M!

you guys should watch some of ashlee’s tiktoks and comment on them bc she’s been making a lot recently with some really good points and insight, i think she really understands your perspective of taking one for the team and being the one to “do the job”

Kim Martinez

While I obviously can’t be in Debbie Allen’s head, I can reasonably imagine that she found Dance Moms (as a show) to be an absolute cringe worthy caricature of an art form that she reveres, but also recognized that it was also a platform where people could be exposed to the dance industry, and have a peek into the dedication it takes to be a dancer. I think that she played her time on the show brilliantly in that she was given the opportunity to speak about the art form to Nia and Kalani in a very positive light. Do you two think that had either Debbie Allen or a Debbie Allen-like teacher had come onto the show any sooner, people would have lost interest? Are we, as a society, so tuned into toxicity that without it we’d lose interest? What do you guys think?

Sarah

I think you guys should get Ashlee on for an episode. She replied to a TikTok comment saying she would come on, and I think it would be great to hear what she has to say and also get her perspective on one of two episodes: when Brynn’s trio beats Maddie’s or when she does the duet with the boy

Turning down an opportunity to meet or train with the legendary Debbie Allen is like an aspiring actor turning down the chance to learn from icons like Bette Davis or Sidney Poitier. When an opportunity like that presents itself, you don’t question it, you don’t hesitate — you take it. Period!

Dylan Hallowell

Idk if this is crazy but I would love to have Chloe, Brooke, or Paige on the podcast to hear their thoughts about season six

emi

if you had to pick, would you rather your girls have a pep talk from debbie allen before performing an abby dance or get a dance choreographed by debbie allen but you have to have an abby “pep talk” first

emi

i just remembered they’re gonna recap the michael jackson baseball dance episode relatively soon and i haven’t been so excited to see their reactions since The Great Purse Dump

April Bailey

I don't think Debbie Allen was worried about Abby. Ms. Allen has more class in her pinky toe than Abby had "in her big, fat body!" 😆

Pinkelephant47

Spoiler alert, Abby gets replaced by a plethora of people. Here’s my would you rather: if it was 2011 again and dance moms centered around a different dance teacher, would you rather have Gianna, Cheryl Burke, or Debbie

It didn’t occur to me until this week, but Cathy has come out to criticize this podcast more recently and asked not to be spoken about even though she was a GUEST. And it just dawned on me that she’s now on a new show with Abby. Coincidence?? I think not.

Makenzi

I really wanted to like Brynn’s dance but it rlly felt like it was just full of “let me move to this spot and flail around and now let me move around over here to this spot and flail in a different way.” Not well choreographed and she was moving too fast throughout the whole solo so the movements weren’t fluid/ controlled meanwhile kalani looked like she controlled when an eyelash falls off of her so I was unsurprised that Brynn didn’t win

Makenzi

I love how the Nebraska accent just escapes Jess when she’s angry and ranting at the end

Abby’s Yuge Prada

That’s so true I saw that recent podcast Cathy did with someone and I was disappointed to hear her really go after Christi and Kelly, when they both have defended her like 98% of the time!

Christi’s Front Porch

I would love a collab between BTTB and The Pyramid: A Dance Moms Recap Podcast with Amanda and Eli! love them!

Christi’s Brown Hair

I'm surprised not even Jess tries to stand up for Holly when Abby made that racist comment. It shows she didn't really care about Holly and she cared more for Jill or Meliisa

Aidan P

You guys need to react to Abby’s Studio Rescue, some of the episodes are WILD! It would be great content for you guys to react to and would be hilarious.

jadeteass

Not to defend abby at all but I think it’s a bit crazy to suggest Abby’s meltdowns around this point were solely bc of Chloe’s lifetime movie. I’m sure it contributed, but Jes’ comment felt more pokey and provocative than literal. We have to remember at this point she was facing a massive legal crisis ahead of her for something she new she was guilty of and facing jail time down the road, she was being forced to film despite her attorneys wishes to be released from her contract temporarily, and she was getting in additional legal trouble for living in her studio illegally. We saw at the competition in ep3 that Abby's legal issues alone were enough to make her break down. Also, at the beginning of S6E7, when Abby is hysterical and telling the moms to go to Debbie Allen's studio, she rhetorically asks Jill if she can "discourse the federal government to prove I'm not hiding money" or something like that. Its hard to feel bad for he because of everything she put on herself, but she was dealing with an insane amount around this time hence why she illegally breaks contract temporarily when they wouldn’t let her out of it

Kelly accidentally triggering the confetti absolutely SENT me

Season 6 massively suffers from lack of Cathy. I genuinely think Cathy is one the best villains in reality television history who just understood the assignment like no other, and producers inviting her to compete but refusing to pay her way (I believe is what she has said) was such an ill advised decision on their end. So dumb.

Christi’s Brown Hair

I worked at a dance competition they would compete at, and I will never. NEVER forget the girls all running on stage for something, like a fan autograph thing, and Brynn was last out there. The girls were so nasty and said no you can’t come. She just stood to the side and watched them. Broke my heart.

Julianna N

Have you ever met anyone with a tattoo of something from the show or something related to your girls? If so what was it? I was thinking of doing a tattoo of a chair (for a separate reason, I would like to clarify that) and realized it would be a nod to “empty chair do a solo” wanted to know if you have experienced anything like that

the ant at the picnic

i will die on this hill nia would have one million % excelled at d.a.d.a

Angela Mannarino

Did anyone else notice in this episode Kira says ALD instead of ALDC lol

I’ll slam whatever I want (edited)

2026-11-04 12:00 I love you both! And Kelly, I hope you don’t feel guilty. I respected you so much on the show and never thought you were crazy. When Abby degraded your kids, you took them home and fought back. When your kids were too hurt to dance, you pulled their dances. You didn’t back down and defended your kids every time Abby would talk badly about them. As soon as you could leave the toxic show, you did for your girls. You are ultimate mother and it breaks my heart how Abby turned a good relationship into abuse. You were meant to be a mother and I cry every time I watch the show and you break down in tears. A person can only take so much, and you did the best you could. 💗

Can someone direct me please on where I should post a question for this coming Sundays bttb episode??? 💕 thank you

Whore Selling Tshirts

Do you think production had Arizona planned as a competition ahead of time or do you think a couple weeks in they knew they wanted Kira to come on to fight with Ashley and figured the best/fastest way was to go to Kira in AZ?

Whore Selling Tshirts

Was anyone else shocked when Jill low key defended Ashley when Jess exaggerated about Ashley said about Kalani the day before?
