    Jill Finally Realizes Kendall Was SET UP TO LOSE Against Maddie | Back To The Barre

    Grab your tickets to our LIVE TOUR here: x1entertainment.com/bttb See you in 2026!! Christi and Kelly are in the Bahamas, but are still here to recap Dance Moms season 5, episode 29A — “Baby Dance Mama Drama,” where Kendall is put head-to-head against Maddie in Abby’s latest nationals solo battle. But per usual, there's funny stuff going on. While Maddie gets a haunting solo, stunning choreography, and one of the best costumes Dance Moms has ever seen, Kendall is handed a scarf prop, weaker choreography, and a routine with way more room for error. As Jill watches it all unfold, she starts saying the same thing Christi and Kelly had been saying for years — some kids are given every chance to win, while others are set up to come in second. Elsewhere this episode, the ALDC finally moves into Abby’s new LA studio, Kira reveals she is five months pregnant, Mackenzie breaks down over her solo, and Holly continues to deal with the other moms’ cold reactions to Nia’s music career. Christi and Kelly are here to react to it all!

    Kelly Tells Abby To “SHOVE IT UP” You Know Where... | Back To The Barre REWIND

    Welcome back to our REWIND series! Christi and Kelly are going back through the archive, re-editing, and re-uploading our old episodes — in order, from the very beginning of Dance Moms. This week, they’re revisiting season 1, episode 11 (“It All Ends Here”), where the ALDC heads to Lake Tahoe for nationals and Kelly reaches another breaking point with Abby. After weeks of watching Brooke and Paige get bad costumes, weaker choreography, and less attention, Kelly is already exhausted. But when Abby brings up Brooke’s national title during another argument, Kelly has had enough — and tells her exactly where she can shove that crown. Christi and Kelly look back on that classic moment. Kelly explains that she never cared about the crowns the way Abby did, she just wanted Brooke and Paige to be given a fair shot, treated with respect, and not made to feel like they were less than the other girls. They also revisit the rest of the nationals chaos: Chloe breaking down from exhaustion, Kurt showing up in Tahoe, Maddie and Chloe performing “Black Swan,” Brooke and Paige’s duet, and the group dance that finally gives the girls a big win at the end of a brutal season. We originally aired this episode back in 2022, but it's been re-edited specifically for YouTube! Grab your tickets to our LIVE TOUR here: x1entertainment.com/bttb See you in 2026!!

    Kids These Days (We Said It!)

    This week, Jill, Melissa, and Kelly are taking a trip down memory lane while laughing at just how much life has changed. From putting trackers on their dogs for peace of mind to wondering why schools no longer teach practical life skills, the moms have plenty to say about growing up then versus now. The conversation starts with Kendall receiving a check and realizing she had no idea how to deposit it, leading to a bigger discussion about the disappearance of home economics, basic sewing skills, and all the everyday lessons today's kids seem to be missing. They also compare generations, reminiscing about drinking from the garden hose instead of carrying water bottles everywhere and sharing memories of the underage dance clubs. Jill opens up about a more emotional realization—that she may not get any more pets because she worries about who would love and care for them the way she does if they outlive her? Kelly also shares her fascination with a neighbor celebrating his 100th birthday and wonders what the secret is to such a long life. Kelly reveals her latest Amazon shopping spree, and let's just say...the mountain of packages that arrived is all the proof anyone needs that she may have clicked "Buy it Now" a few too many times.

    Dance Moms Put WAY TOO MUCH PRESSURE On Maddie | Back To The Barre with Christi & Kelly

    Christi and Kelly recap one of Dance Moms season 5’s throwback specials, where the show looks back at Maddie’s history through old clips, old dances, and some of the biggest moments that shaped her time at the ALDC. As Maddie and Melissa revisit the journey, the special shines a spotlight on the pressure that came with being Abby’s star student — from Maddie’s perfectionism and fear of disappointing Abby to the solo she forgot onstage, the crown scene, the Drop Dead Diva audition, and the Maddie vs. Chloe rivalry. Christi and Kelly react to how uncomfortable it all feels to look back on. It is a reminder of how much Dance Moms asked from Maddie at such a young age, how quickly she was expected to grow up, and how being treated like the favorite still came with pressure no kid should have had to carry.

    Christi and Kelly are living it up in the Bahamas, but the content doesn't stop! And today's mini-episode is super fun for the occasion. Intern Matt pulled some of the wildest Dance Moms conspiracy theories from the internet, and Christi and Kelly are reading them for the first time live on the show. Did Melissa secretly sing the Dance Moms songs? Was Abby actually obsessed with Kalani? And did production have a whole revenge storyline planned for Christi and Chloe before they left? Some theories are absolutely ridiculous from the start, but a few might be closer to the truth than fans realize. We think you're going to love this episode!

    Kelly Hires Her Own Choreographer And Abby Is NOT HAVING IT | Back To The Barre REWIND

    Welcome back to our REWIND series! Christi and Kelly are going back through the archive, re-editing, and re-uploading our old episodes — in order, from the very beginning of Dance Moms. This week, they’re revisiting season 1, episode 10 ("Cathy Brings It On!", where the ALDC heads to Los Angeles and Kelly finds herself stuck between a rock and a hard place. After last week’s costume disaster, Abby tells Kelly to hire her own choreographer if she is so unhappy with the way Paige is being treated. Kelly ends up doing just that before everything blows up. Paige is sent into a room with a new choreographer, given almost no time to learn a solo, and immediately spirals under the pressure of knowing Abby is going to be furious. Christi and Kelly look back on how unfair the whole setup felt, why Paige was terrified, and how quickly the storyline turned from “Kelly takes control” into Paige getting caught in the middle of another fight between her mom and Abby. For Kelly, this is one of the first episodes where you can really see her starting to crack because the drama is no longer just about her — it is hitting her kids directly. They also revisit the rest of the LA chaos: Shangela teaching Nia the death drop, Cathy bringing Candy Apples into the rivalry, Chloe realizing Taylor is dancing to her exact solo music, Maddie’s emotional solo, “My Pumps,” and the competition results that leave Abby furious even after multiple ALDC wins.

She shares stories from her latest trip to spend time with baby Chance, why she's always happy to volunteer for babysitting duty, and how much she loves making special memories with her grandson. Riley is settling back into work, and like many new moms, the adjustment hasn't been easy. Kelly catches everyone up on the latest happenings at her dad's house, where the list of animals keeps growing...and now there's even a panther roaming the area! The moms also dive into the age-old debate: aging gracefully or going under the knife? They share their thoughts on cosmetic procedures and why so many people seem to be getting incredible results these days. Plus, Kelly has the most Pittsburgh story ever after running into someone in Seattle who somehow knew Erno through pickleball, proving once again that Pittsburgh connections are everywhere. They also marvel at the incredible replacement of the Parkway East bridge and how quickly the massive project came together. Melissa has a proud puppy update as Winnie officially tips the scales at a whopping five pounds! And of course, the conversation takes another unexpected turn when they discuss the internet's latest health craze: is sourdough bread basically nature's version of a GLP-1 because of the fermentation?  Have a question for the moms?

    Christi and Kelly recap Dance Moms season 5, episode 28 — “Solo Battle: Round 1,” where Kalani returns to the ALDC after walking out with Kira, but Abby being Abby is not exactly ready to welcome her back with open arms. Even though the moms agree the team needs Kalani, Abby absolutely REFUSES to put her in the group dance and says she needs to learn a lesson for leaving. That leaves Kira trying to get Kalani back in Abby’s good graces, the girls rehearsing a risky jail-yard-inspired group number, and Abby eventually storming out of rehearsal all over again. Elswhere, Abby kicks off her nationals solo battle by putting Kendall and JoJo head-to-head. Kendall gets a contemporary solo, JoJo gets a Miley Cyrus-inspired routine, and one forgotten solo turns into a surprisingly emotional moment.

    Christi and Kelly recap Dance Moms season 5, episode 27 — “Abby vs. Kira… Again,” where Abby returns after mysteriously disappearing for a week, only to find out Kira has brought in someone else to work with Kalani. This time, it is Alexa — Kalani’s real teacher from Arizona — and Kira makes it clear she wants Kalani to shine in her home state with choreography that actually shows who she is as a dancer. That means Abby has to sit there while another teacher works with one of her strongest dancers, and the tension is impossible to ignore. But the drama does not stop with Kalani’s solo. The Candy Apples are back without Cathy, Jeanette is trying to prove Ava can beat Kalani again, and Abby pulls Kalani from the group dance before they go head-to-head in Phoenix. By the end, Kalani is in tears, Kira is ready to leave again, and Christi and Kelly are left watching another Dance Moms fight where the real issue seems bigger than the one happening on camera.

    Welcome back to our REWIND series! Christi and Kelly are going back through the archive, re-editing, and re-uploading our old episodes — in order, from the very beginning of Dance Moms. This week, they’re revisiting season 1, episode 9 (“From Ballerinas to Showgirls”), where the ALDC heads to Las Vegas and Christi FINALLY reaches a breaking point with Abby over how she was treating Chloe. After Maddie gets the week off, Chloe is suddenly put at the top of the pyramid and told this is her chance to prove herself. But instead of feeling like a real opportunity, Christi remembers it feeling like a setup. Abby keeps putting pressure on Chloe to win, and Christi explains the off-camera moment that pushed her over the edge: Abby allegedly telling Chloe to “be like Maddie” right before she competed for a national title. Christi and Kelly look back on the infamous hotel room confrontation that followed. As Christi explains, the fight was about much more than one solo in Las Vegas. You're going to want to hear Christi's thoughts on the whole situation. They also revisit the rest of the Vegas chaos: Cathy starting her Candy Apples revenge plan, the girls learning a showgirl-inspired routine, the moms visiting the ice bar on the night Dance Moms premiered, and a competition week that left everyone feeling like the pressure was only getting worse. We originally aired this episode back in 2022, but it's been re-edited specifically for YouTube! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    The Dance Moms Episode Where Abby IS Completely MIA | Back To The Barre with Christi & Kelly

    Christi and Kelly recap Dance Moms season 5, episode 26 ("Where in the World Is Abby Lee Miller?"), where Abby does something almost unheard of: she disappears for the entire week. After last episode’s blowup with Kira and Kalani, the team shows up wondering if Abby will actually come back. But instead of another screaming match, another pyramid meltdown, or another dramatic entrance, there is just… no Abby. Gianna runs rehearsal, the girls prepare their solos, and everyone tries to figure out whether Dance Moms can function without the person who usually controls the room. And somehow, it does. The girls compete, the team keeps moving, and the drama finds a new place to land. Kendall’s music release is supposed to be the big storyline of the week, but Nia’s music career keeps getting pulled into the spotlight too, leading to a messy fight between Jill and Holly over whose daughter is finally getting a moment. With Abby gone, the episode turns into a very different kind of chaos. The girls are still trying to win, the moms are still trying to protect their kids’ moments, and Christi and Kelly are left asking the obvious question: where the hell was Abby?

    The ALDC vs. MDP Rivalry Gets PERSONAL | Back To The Barre

    Christi and Kelly recap Dance Moms season 5, episode 24 — “West Coast Strikes Back,” where the ALDC’s rivalry with MDP starts feeling a lot less like friendly competition and a lot more like a real threat. This week, Abby is back in Los Angeles, MDP is at the same competition, and Erin Babbs knows exactly how to get under her skin. Between the “monster” routine, the American Girl doll made to look like Abby, and the backstage tension, Christi and Kelly watch as the West Coast rivalry turns into one of the few matchups that actually seems to rattle Abby. But the biggest drama is still happening inside the ALDC. After Mackenzie beats Maddie, Abby gives her the lead in the group dance — only to take it away and hand it right back to Maddie. Christi and Kelly break down how predictable the switch felt, why the dance suddenly looked like a Maddie solo with backup dancers, and why the moms were so frustrated that Melissa did not fight harder for Mackenzie. They also react to JoJo dancing a tribute solo for her grandmother, Kendall competing “Just an Illusion,” Jill’s truly terrible pep talk, Jess’s giant bow hat, Abby’s carpet-like outfit, and the now-iconic “my mom’s dead” moment.

    Mackenzie Beats Maddie… And Everyone LOSES It | Back To The Barre

    Christi and Kelly recap Dance Moms season 5, episode 23 — “Maddie vs. Mackenzie,” where Mackenzie FINALLY beats Maddie… and everyone’s reactions become the big story.  Instead of letting Mackenzie have her moment, things get weird. Super weird. Melissa is emotional, Maddie is upset, and Abby turns the whole thing into a lesson about “losers.” These reactions tell you everything there is to know about the dynamic between Maddie, Mackenzie, Melissa, and Abby. For years, everyone was taught that Maddie winning made sense, Maddie getting the extra attention made sense, and Maddie being protected made sense. But the second Mackenzie wins, it becomes clear how hard it is for the room to celebrate her without making it about Maddie. Christi and Kelly also react to Nia calling out the lack of opportunities she gets, JoJo being humiliated over opportunities outside of Abby’s control, guest Travis Payne bringing in a completely different kind of energy, and a group routine that proves how strange this show could be when real performance-world choreography was dropped into a Dance Moms competition setting.

I mean is it already week three of Jill trying to convince Holly she should be grateful for what Abby does for Nia? Like WHILE Abby is actively trying to sabotage Nia at every conceivable turn? Yeah it's not one of Jill's better looks for sure. In a rare feat for Dance Moms there's no Pyramid this week because for some reason (we still can't quite figure out why) Production decided to split this week into a two parter (for real we had less notes for this episode than we often do when we only cover half an episode, it's weird). But there's still plenty of drama abound as most of the ALDC moms show up to their last local competition sans daughters... and you kind of need them present to compete or the group can't perform! Outside of Nia and JoJo all the girls are still at JUMP, which Abby and the moms feel is very important for their careers unlike the hit TV show they're supposed to be filming. Abby assigns Nia and JoJo solos in case the rest of the team in a no show when it's their turn to perform. Nia will preform Never Knew once more and JoJo is instructed to freestyle on-stage (which we highly doubt as JoJo upstaging Nia would be to tempting for Abby to leave to chance). The Candy Apples and Broadway Dance Academy soon crash the party to stir up the pot. Of course Jill doesn't take kindly to Cathy's interventions, but Cathy makes some great points about how Abbys been treating Nia, which Holly confirms. Jill doesn't like Holly picking sides with her enemy and starts beating the "You need to respect what Abby does for you" drum once again, but Holly points out Nia only gets chances when no one else is there to preoccupy Abby's attention. Tensions continue to simmer as the competition gets underway, but will the rest of the ALDC show up in time to snatch victory for the Candy Apples and quell a potential Abby blow-up? Or is a blow-up inevitable if Jill and Cathy are in the same room together for longer that two minutes? Quotes “I thought about Abby saying this video is supposed to represent Nia's life and this is not Nia... is Kendall in the army? Did I miss that part of her life?" (25:19-25:33 | Christi)"I kinda love that. Whoever did that in production, how diabolical of you." (28:19-28:23 | Christi)“Thank God Abby wasn't invited [to Brooke's wedding]. Thank god, she would have been yelling at Josh, 'GET YOUR HANDS AWAY FROM YOUR CROTCH!' during the middle of the ceremony.'" (37:21-37:29 | Kelly & Christi)“You should talk about those crows feet. How about those jowls that jiggle every time you open your mouth? And then Abby says don't talk about my boobs? And she calls me a dingbat? I at least know what jowls are!"

    Vacation Bliss...Then Total Mayhem

    Jill is back from vacation and can't stop gushing about her grandson! The moms talk about how quickly little ones learn and why becoming a grandparent brings back so many memories of raising your own kids. But Jill's post-vacation bliss didn't last long...she came home to what can only be described as a dog-sitter disaster. From ruined white rugs to unbelievable messes throughout the house, she seriously wondered if she was being punked. Kelly shares some much-needed good news after a stressful few weeks, revealing that her doctors determined her pain was caused by two broken ribs—not something far more serious. It's a diagnosis she never thought she'd be relieved to hear. Plus, Jill introduces the moms to the term "Zillennials" and they debate which of their kids fit this in-between generation, while Melissa admits she's a full-fledged helicopter dog mom when it comes to Winnie Pearl. Why does Winnie insist on eating absolutely everything she finds?  Have a question for the moms?

    Abby Was COMPLETELY Checked Out This Episode | Back To The Barre with Christi Lukasiak & Kelly Hyland

    Christi and Kelly recap and react to Dance Moms season 5, episode 22 — “Live From LA, It's Kendall K.” Kendall's big music video premiere has finally arrived, giving Jill the moment she had been chasing all season. Christi and Kelly revisit the event at Universal Studios, the pressure surrounding Kendall's debut, and the constant comparisons being made between Kendall and Nia's music careers. Looking back, both agree the girls were never really rivals, even if the show desperately wanted them to be. Meanwhile, Abby seems completely checked out. She skips the competition, leaves the team without important props and costumes, and continues taking shots at Nia by casting her as the "traitor" in the group's routine. Christi and Kelly discuss why they believe Abby was unfairly blaming Nia for decisions made by adults, and relive one of the funniest moments of the entire season: the infamous purse dump that exposed the absolute chaos hiding inside Abby Lee Miller's handbag.

    The Moms Go Behind Abby’s Back… And She ABSOLUTELY LOSES IT

    Christi and Kelly recap Dance Moms season 5, episode 25 — “Abby vs. Kira,” where the moms have FINALLY had it waiting for Abby to give their girls real training. The ALDC is in Los Angeles, the studio still is not finished, the girls are not getting consistent classes... and yet Abby keeps blaming them for losing. So the moms decide to do something about it: they bring in Sondra, an outside teacher and choreographer, to lend an extra hand. But this is Dance Moms, so of course it ESCALATES in a hurry. Abby acts like the moms have betrayed her, shuts down the whole thing, and goes into full meltdown mode. Then the fight gets even more personal when Abby rejects Kalani, and Kira, at last, snaps at her. Bring on the fireworks!

  20. The Australia Trip That Exposed Everything | Season 5, Episode 20 | Back to the Barre

    The Australia Trip That Exposed Everything | Season 5, Episode 20 | Back to the Barre

    Christi and Kelly recap and react to Dance Moms season 5, episode 20 — “Dance Moms Down Under, Part 1.” The show heads overseas to Australia... but without Abby, who gets left behind after losing her passport. Of course, that doesn't stop her from controlling everything from thousands of miles away on the phone. She yells at Melissa over the phone, questions whether the whole team was even invited to perform, and says Maddie can just dance by herself if she is not there. This is where the Australia episode starts to expose everything. Nia and JoJo are treated like they were never really part of the plan, the moms clash over who is tied to Abby’s Australia events, and the viral Ireland video mocking JoJo brings even more tension into the trip. Then Maddie misses rehearsal for an interview while the other girls keep working as her backup dancers, only for the episode to later handle her mistake onstage completely differently than it would have handled anyone else’s. For Christi and Kelly, this trip is not just about a lost passport or one chaotic performance. It is about the different rules, the selective protection, and the favoritism that creeps up episode after episode. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
