Dance Moms: Canceled by Lifetime!
The music is about to stop on Dance Moms.
Forever.
According to International Business Times, Lifetime has confirmed that it’s pulling the plug on one of its longest-running reality shows.
Dance Moms will come to an end after its current seventh season.
(Which is technically Season 7B and which is comprised of, like, 67 episodes. The show’s schedule is very confusing.)
The finale will air on Tuesday, October 31, although the cable network will air two specials and, of course, many new installments prior to this farewell.
As loyal fans of the series and/or loyal readers of the Internet know well, this has been an unusual season of Dance Moms, what with host Abby Lee Miller going to jail and everything.
(She pleaded guilty last year to bankruptcy fraud and will spend a year behind bars.)
Cheryl Burke has come on board the program her as the show’s new teacher and choreographer.
And it’s been an adjustment.
“There were a lot of tears, anger and insecurity,” Burke told Us Weekly of her transition to host, adding this summer:
“It was shocking to me. I couldn’t believe these beautiful girls that have zero confidence. That’s not the way to live life.
“[The girls] said they’d been traumatized by Abby and her teaching methods. That’s a shame because with teenagers it’s so important to mentor them.”
Ahead of this announcement, meanwhile, Dance Moms participated hinted – via their words or actions – that the end could be near.
Last Tuesday, for example, original cast member Nia Sioux told Teen Vogue she was parting ways with the series.
“I was just like, I’m 16 now, I’m growing up, the show has been a great platform, but it’s time to move on,” she said.
“During the show, I couldn’t take all the opportunities that I wanted to, and now since I’m off the show I’m getting to do what I want to do.”
Elsewhere, Camryn Bridges, wrote “that’s a wrap” on Instagram following the final national competition in Lawndale, California.
Dance Moms premiered way back in July of 2011.
It made headlines over the years due to Abby’s controversial teaching techniques, along with the tension between parents that often led to a great deal of in-fighting.
Love Miller or hate her a lot, however, it’s impossible to deny the impact she’s had on the small screen.
Assuming Miller doesn’t get killed in prison, we’ll be interested in hearing what she has to say in the near future about the end of the show.

Mickey Mouse Helps Foster Kids Learn News of a Lifetime
They say that Disney World is the happiest place on Earth.
Janielle Gilmour and Elijah Gilmour, two kids from Portland, Pennsylvania, are now living proof of this description.
The 12-year old and 10-year old have been residing with foster parents Courtney and Tom for the past three years.
Unbeknownst to the children, the couple finalized its adoption paperwork when the family visited Florida in May.
When the Gilmours checked into the Magic Kingdom park in Orlando, each family member was given a button to write down his or her reasons for celebrating.
"We didn"t have the adoption date until the Friday before our vacation, but once we got it I thought, "How cool would it be to give a sign to Mickey?"" Courtney explained to E! News.
"When we got down there we sent out pictures on Twitter of our buttons. Ours said, "Adopting Our Kids." Theirs said, "Getting Adopted."
"The people from Disney World"s Twitter reached out to us and asked, "How can we help make this extra special?""
Courtney those the amusement park would provide free dessert or something along those lines.
"We went to dinner, and by the time we got back they e-mailed me again to set up a private meet and greet with Mickey," said Courtney, who filmed the following scene inside the Town Street Theater and shared the footage with friends via Facebook July 6.
It has since been viewed nearly 2 million times.
In the footage below, we see Mickey sign the children’s autograph book and then perform a card trick.
Typical stuff, really.
But then the beloved character held up a sign with the adoption date on it.
And… well…
"This went better than we had hoped," Courtney wrote as a caption at the time she posted it. "They were beyond shocked and we were beyond emotional."
See for yourself, but make sure you have a few tissues handy!
