Trouble brews again for "Dance Moms" as coach Abby Lee Miller reveals that the Abby Lee Dance Company's Mini Team have been sent home. Given that this took place during the filming of season 7, it is possible they will not be a part of the upcoming season, and the show itself might be canceled.
Miller posted an update on Instagram, showcasing a photo of her Mini Team dancers with the caption stating the production company and the network [Lifetime] had ordered the team to go home, implying that they will no longer be a part of season 7.
"I'm sick over it! They are talented first and 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," reads the rest of Miller's caption.
A report from the IBTimes points out that the latter half of season 6 shows Miller doing her best to prepare the Mini Team for success. Fans speculate that Miller is hoping to find new success with the Mini Team the same way she found it with some of her older dancers like Maddie Ziegler.
Without the Mini Team in season 7, all their success in season 6B would no longer benefit the show, and Miller would be back on the drawing board to find new dancers that could rejuvenate the show's popularity. It was also previously reported that season 7 is also facing cancellation due to bankruptcy fraud.
The future of the series is still uncertain, but with season 7 already in production, there is a possibility that the cancellation rumors are not true, or Miller is merely trying to film the next season before she has to face time in court or in jail by the end of the year.
