Dance Moms Season 6 Episode 15 Recap: Melissa"s Big News

Last night on Dance Moms Season 6 Episode 15, Abby Lee Miller saw her world shattered after Melissa shared some stunning news.


Literally stunning.



Pretty darn shocking. That’s all we can say about Dance Moms Season 6 Episode 15. Yes, the entire show is a staged sham, but still.


Tuesday night, Melissa Gisoni finally dropped the bombshell regarding Maddie Ziegler’s fate on the ALDC and the hit Lifetime show.


Miller tried to hide her emotions about Maddie Ziegler leaving Dance Moms, but it was obvious that the news left the boss lady reeling.


JoJo Siwa’s mom Jessalynn noted, accurately, that Ziegler’s upcoming departure would do a real number on the controversial coach.


The timing was also suspect.


Nia Frazier’s mom Holly said “I’m so glad Melissa told us the news, but her timing is a little off because this is not just a regular dance.”


“This is a dance inspired by a movie that’s coming out. You want to do a phenomenal job and unfortunately it’s a very emotional time.”


There’s no sense hiding it. Miller admitted to the other dancers that Maddie leaving will no doubt impact the team and the show tremendously.


But it goes on. It goes on.


At the Fierce National Dance Competition, the ALDC team did a contemporary routine inspired by The Huntsman: Winter’s War.


Their routine ranked first.


Fittingly, the Ziegler sisters (Maddie and Mackenzie) were the focal point, as the routine was about two sisters battling it out to the death.


Art imitating life, maybe?


Kendall Vertes, Brynn Rumfallo, Kalani Hilliker, Siwa and Frazier also participated, as you’ll see when you watch Dance Moms online.


Does anyone care? Or will Maddie leaving be too much for the show to sustain as it heads into a potential seventh season next year?
