Season 8

The eighth and final season of Dance Moms (or Dance Moms: Resurrection) premiered on Lifetime on June 4, 2019 and concluded on September 10, 2019.

Synopsis
The road has not been easy for Dance Moms star Abby Lee Miller. After completing her prison sentence last year, the famed dance instructor was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. But if anything, Abby has proven she is a fighter and is not ready to hang up the dance shoes. "Dance Moms: Resurrection" will follow Abby as she rebuilds her dance company while battling the after-effects of cancer that has left her confined to a wheelchair. Abby is ready to get back to her life and do what she loves most... teaching students to dance! With the goal of putting her life, health and dance studio back together, Abby returns to where it all began – the Abby Lee Dance Company in Pittsburgh.
