The Moms Are Forced To Dance… And It’s A TOTAL DISASTER | Back To The Barre REWIND

Welcome back to our REWIND series! 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 5 (“When Stars Collide”), where the girls are getting ready for the ALDC showcase, a Broadway agent is coming to watch… and somehow, the moms end up being forced to perform too. Christi and Kelly look back on the absolute nightmare of learning a dance from Cathy, wearing those costumes on national television, and realizing they were about to be humiliated in front of their kids, the audience, and every person who would ever watch the episode later. Plus, the two revisit the fallout from Christi’s fight with Abby and Melissa from the previous episode. There are some apologies, but not before Abby tries to get Christi to sign an outrageous contract. Also covered in the episode is Mackenzie refusing to sing, Chloe getting called out over a hair tie on her birthday, and the early signs that Dance Moms was becoming much bigger than anyone originally thought! 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!!
