"Dance Moms" season 7 will premiere just a week after the season 6 finale. While the first episode of the season will start things off, episode 2, "Abby's Worst Nightmare," will heat it all up.

This episode will see the return of the Candy Apples Dance Center (CADC) and Abby Lee Dance Company (ALDC) owner Abby Lee Miller's rival, Cathy Nesbitt-Smith.

Their return in "Dance Moms" season 7 episode 2 appears to have led to the disbanding of the mini team, although Elliana Walmsley and Lilliana Ketchman remained with the team.

The episode will also mark Miller's efforts to create a "super team," which led to the inclusion of two new members, Daviana Fletcher and Camryn Bridges, who fans will be seeing often in "Dance Moms" season 7.

Miller brought in the final eight dancers for the auditions that she held. This included Maesi Caes, Chloe Folce, Emma Hodges, and Taylor Tucker.

Not everyone will make the cut, although, during the filming, Caes has been part of the recent competitions joined in the past so it is safe to say she made it through.

Miller is serious about forming a team of winners, so even the girls who have been part of the team since day one are not safe as the dance coach declared in the trailer for "Dance Moms" season 7.

ALDC needs a bit of revamping more than ever with the mini team no more and Walmsley and Ketchman left of the once glorious group.

"The network/production co sent the #ALDCMinis home today. I'm sick over it! They are talented first & foremost, but also respectful, hard working, dedicated, and a joy for our entire faculty to work with! I'm sure in time the world would've come to know and love them just like all of you did with a different bunch of little girls I introduced to you 5 years ago!!!" Miller posted on Instagram following the disbanding.

"Dance Moms" season 7 will premiere Tuesday, Nov. 29, at 9 p.m. ET on Lifetime.
