If you’re like me, you probably love watching Dance Moms. I recently binged some episodes over winter break, which got me thinking about how much has changed since the show first aired. If you’re wondering where the Dance Moms stars are now, look no further.
The dancers and moms who captured audiences with their talent, drama, and pyramid rankings have gone on to do a lot since the show ended. This is not an exhaustive list of everything the OG girls have done, but here are some highlights.
- Abby Lee Miller

Abby Lee Miller, the infamous dance coach, studio owner, and choreographer, was known for her tough teaching style and her “pyramid” rankings on the show. After Dance Moms, Miller faced legal challenges and ultimately sold her studio. Despite this, her impact on the dance world remains undeniable, and she continues to be a figure of discussion among fans and former dancers.
