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 10 (\"Cathy Brings It On!\", where the ALDC heads to Los Angeles and Kelly finds herself stuck between a rock and a hard place. After last week’s costume disaster, Abby tells Kelly to hire her own choreographer if she is so unhappy with the way Paige is being treated. Kelly ends up doing just that before everything blows up. Paige is sent into a room with a new choreographer, given almost no time to learn a solo, and immediately spirals under the pressure of knowing Abby is going to be furious. Christi and Kelly look back on how unfair the whole setup felt, why Paige was terrified, and how quickly the storyline turned from “Kelly takes control” into Paige getting caught in the middle of another fight between her mom and Abby. For Kelly, this is one of the first episodes where you can really see her starting to crack because the drama is no longer just about her — it is hitting her kids directly. They also revisit the rest of the LA chaos: Shangela teaching Nia the death drop, Cathy bringing Candy Apples into the rivalry, Chloe realizing Taylor is dancing to her exact solo music, Maddie’s emotional solo, “My Pumps,” and the competition results that leave Abby furious even after multiple ALDC wins. 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!!
