New era, new coach, brand new series

As has now been extensively documented, Abby Lee Miller is out.

The controversial coach from Dance Moms no longer has anything to do with this reality series.

But Hulu is bringing the series back with a reboot (titled “A New Era”) on August 7… and the first trailer, released this week by People magazine, makes it clear that Miller may be gone.

But the drama remains.

“My only goal is to win a national title and that starts today,” Flo Hampton tells the girls in the preview. “Nobody’s place here is safe. Nobody.”

Coach Glo previously appeared alongside her daughter Kaeli in an episode of the third season of the original reality series.

Her studio also defeated Miller’s Junior Elite competition team in a season four episode, and now she’s back in the spotlight.

“We’re at Nationals in just six weeks,” Glo tells her dance students in the July 18 teaser for the Hulu series. “We are in no way ready for this.”

In the past, Miller choreographed weekly routines for dancers such as Maddie Ziegler, Kenzie Ziegler, Nia Sioux, Chloé Lukasiak, Kendall Vertes, Paige Hyland, Brooke Hyland, Kalani Hilliker and Jojo Siwa in the original series… which ran for eight seasons and ended in 2019.

This new era will bring with it a new cast.

“I spent 40 years teaching kids to dance and that prepared me for this moment,” Coach Glo also explains in the above-mentioned video, adding:

“I am really looking forward to this next challenge and will participate in new exercises every week in the hope of winning another national title.”

As is often the case in this series, there is now intense competition between the dancers.

However real The theatrical atmosphere is provided by the new dance mothers themselves. We see them pushing and shoving, and we even witness a particularly vengeful slap in the face when one mother screams, “I dare you to come to me.”

But Glo doesn’t want to hear about it, folks.

“I’m over it. Do you see those kids? That’s all I care about right now,” she tells the misbehaving parents.

All 10 episodes of Dance Moms: A New Era premiere on Wednesday, August 7, only on Hulu.
