In this episode, Melissa, Jill, and Kelly chat about Maddie’s recent birthday — and take a nostalgic trip back to the days of leotards and rehearsals. Watching Dancing with the Stars has the moms feeling all kinds of emotions, especially Kelly, who opens up about the sadness and guilt she still carries over her girls never dancing again after leaving the show.

The moms also share a funny moment about watching TV on a plane — what do you do when a show suddenly turns inappropriate mid-flight? 🙈✈️

Plus, a deep dive into their daughters’ intense weekly dance schedules before Dance Moms: what classes they took, how many hours they danced, and what the moms think is really important for aspiring competition dancers today.

It’s a mix of laughs, tears, and tough love — just like the good old days in the studio.
