Post-Prison and Cancer Recovery
When Abby Lee Miller got out of prison and defeated cancer, she wanted to continue working. She first concentrated on her dance studio in Pittsburgh, where “Dance Moms” was filmed In early 2023, she sold the studio which was in the process of being turned into a daycare center.
These and other factors have not stopped Miller from engaging himself in several new projects. She teased about a new show that would be a spin-off of “Dance Moms” that incorporates older-students as well as young students with their mothers. This new show does not have a network as yet and is an attempt to capture the drama of her previous series.
In June 2023, Miller came out with a podcast titled Leave It On The Dance Floor. In the podcast, she talks about “Dance Moms”, her career and other dance reality shows which includes dancing with the stars.
