Abby Lee Miller has always reiterated to her Abby Lee Dance Company (ALDC) Elite Competition Team and their moms that everyone is replaceable, no exceptions. Now, it seems that the famously tough teacher of the hit Lifetime show is 100% correct, but this time, she is reportedly going to be the one to be replaced by a new mentor in "Dance Moms" season 8.
After whispers and speculation that "Dance Moms" finally reached the end of the line began following Abby Lee Miller's shocking fraud case and the possibility of her facing jail time. Without the 50-year-old dance instructor, choreographer, and director, who will guide the young dancers?
After months of guessing, executive producer Bryan Stinson seemingly confirmed that "Dance Moms" season 8 is definitely happening after all.
Abby officially off the hit Lifetime show?
If rumors will be believed, then "Dancing With The Stars" pro Cheryl Burke will be replacing Abby Lee Miller in the new instalment. This is definitely nothing new for the 32-year-old dancer, model, and TV host, as dancing and being in front of the camera have been a part of her career since day one. But can she handle the drama of "Dance Moms"? It can be recalled that Cheryl Burke was a part of the show's season 7 as a mentor of the ALDC Elite Competition Team and it looked like she was very much in her element.
Despite the good news, it seems that the ALDC Elite Competition Team members, Kalani Hilliker, Nia Frazier, Kendall Vertes, and Camryn Bridges may not be a part of the next instalment. The girls and their moms have been hinting on their social media accounts about the end of an era, and they will be seen getting emotional during the last day of filming.
If they are going to return for the 8th season, then they shouldn't be that sad, but they are, making rumors of them officially quitting the show seem more legitimate.
Chloe Lukasiak set to return?
Meanwhile, reports noted that Abby Lee Miller's least favorite student, chloe lukasiak will return for "Dance Moms" season 8. Although this is only a rumor, many are already hoping that the 15-year-old dancer, actress, and model will consider it. For now, all fans can do is wait and see.
