Christi and Kelly are going back through the archive, re-editing, and re-uploading our old episodes — in order, from the very beginning of Dance Moms. This week, they’re revisiting season 1, episode 8 (“Love On The Dance Floor”), where Abby brings in Brandon to dance with Brooke and immediately turns the whole thing into one of the most awkward setups in early Dance Moms history! The idea is that Brooke and Brandon need chemistry for the group dance. But once Abby starts talking about their past “fling,” forces them on a date, and pushes them to act like there is some big romantic connection, everything gets uncomfortable FAST! Brooke is only 13, clearly not into it, and the entire storyline becomes less about the dance and more about whether Abby can force two kids to “connect” on camera. Joining the show is Diane Pent, Brandon’s mom. Together, they look back on the behind-the-scenes chaos of filming in Florida for this episode. From the Fun Spot date to the terrible group dance, the watermelon game at Abby’s house, and the first signs of the show getting bigger, this episode has all the classic early Dance Moms weirdness! We originally aired this episode back in 2022, but it's been re-edited specifically for YouTube! Grab your tickets to our LIVE TOUR here: x1entertainment.com/bttb See you in 2026!!
