You Can Meet Dance Moms Icon Abby Lee Miller in Smithfield This Fall

Dance Moms star Abby Lee Miller is coming to Rhode Island and you're invited.

Local dancers and fans of the studio instructor will head to the Ocean State this fall for a weekend of choreography, combos and Q&A with Abby Lee Spills the Tea.

Like many, I spent years watching the hit Lifetime show. It was so captivating. I knew every character, watched as they cried off stage (sometimes even on stage) and that shrill voice of Abby Lee as she reprimanded the moms and dancers alike. From the intense pressure put on the young girls to the diehard moms that carried their own drama into the dance studio, it was like a car crash. You couldn't look away.

Official ALDC Merch Rules: Everyone (and Every Shirt) Is Replaceable

Want to snag some ALDC merch? They'll have that too, and in typical Abby Lee fashion (no pun intended), any counterfeit merchandise being worn at the event will be confiscated. Not only is "everyone replaceable," apparently your t-shirts are, too.
