Lifetime’s Dance Moms has followed the exploits of up-and-coming young dancers and their moms for many years. But how many seasons of the reality series Dance Moms are there?

How Many Seasons of Dance Moms Are There?

There are eight seasons of the original Dance Moms, alongside a handful of specials, totaling 224 episodes. There have also been several spin-offs, including Dance Moms: Miami and a British version, Dance Mums with Jennifer Ellison.

However, Dance Moms: Miami was canceled after one season, and Dance Mums with Jennifer Ellison was canceled after two seasons. So far, it’s only the main US Lifetime series that’s had any real staying power.

Is Dance Moms Getting a Season 9?

Season 8 aired in 2019, which made fans think the show was dead in the water. But, five years and a few specials later, it’s back, as a whole new show. Dance Moms: A New Era, which started August 2024 on Hulu, effectively reboots Dance Moms with a new host (and instructor), plus a new set of dancers.

The instructor this time around is Gloria “Glo” Hampton, who owns the Studio Bleu Dance Center. Or, at least, she did, because while we don’t know when the show was filmed, Studio Blue has reportedly shut down.

Dance instructor Abby Lee Miller, who helped front Dance Moms, left Lifetime and the show in 2020 (via PopCulture), and isn’t involved with the show. Hampton apparently invited her to set, but she declined.

Season 9 of Dance Moms currently has 11 videos available to stream right now, which runs the gamut of drama, from reunions to personality clashes.

Dance Moms is available to stream on Tubi, and Dance Moms: A New Era is available to stream on Hulu.
