Dance Diaries: Runaway Rhinestones & Road to Vegas — The Moment I Learned to Lead

We’re so excited to be back for Season 5 of Leave It On The Dance Floor! We hope everyone had an amazing summer. There are so many incredible stories and guests coming your way this season, and we’re kicking it off with a special installment of our Dance Diaries series. In this episode, Abby takes us back to the very beginning of her journey with her first-ever competition team. She shares what it was like traveling with that original group, choreographing her very first group routines, and learning how to lead both dancers—and parents. Things didn’t always go smoothly: from quick costume fixes to full-on drama, including one mom pulling her kids out of a routine right before a major trip to Vegas, Abby opens up about what it took to keep the show going. Still competing under her mother Maryen Lorrain Miller’s name, these early days were full of lessons, laughter, and a glimpse at the fire that would fuel everything that came next. Long before the cameras—some things never change! Check out our first-ever Live Show now available on Patreon!!!
