Dance Moms: A New Era - Season 2

After Studio Bleu's fall, the elite team rebuilds as Project X. Glo faces new pressure as her daughter Kaeli joins to coach alongside her. Smiley and Leilah battle for the first solo, while Ashlan struggles to top her Nationals breakout.

A new rival dancer from Jing and Gina's past sparks drama when both land solos. Glo assigns a cheerful routine to boost Project X's rep, but a tough move could sideline a dancer. Meanwhile, Tammi drops a bombshell. 

Glo upsets the moms by naming Miah the lead, just as a rival studio publicly challenges them. Audrey's emotional solo is upstaged when Jing pushes for Gina to understudy—forcing Glo to make a bold, unprecedented move.

With a group dance dedicated to their elders, the girls are challenged to have a breakout performance. But one dancer's exit causes breakdowns instead when tensions between Glo and Kaeli boil over. Two duets pit besties against perfectionists.

Glo assigns a drag queen-themed group dance to boost the team's confidence, but rumors of Audrey's return have everyone wigging out. Gina steps up, but a clash with Smiley sparks a meltdown—and a mom vs. mom showdown.

With Nationals just five weeks away, the flu wipes out half the team. Glo makes a last-minute decision that sparks outrage, especially from Kaeli and the moms. Two soloists go head-to-head in comedic routines, but for one of them.

Kaeli asks Audrey to redeem herself in a new ballet routine after last season's disaster, but Tammi isn't up for the challenge. As Nationals loom, Glo dares Ashlan to go a week without Lisa's help and Corinne tries not to spew her anxiety onto Lily.

With Nationals approaching, Glo asks the Dance Dads to be more involved than ever. Bellatrix's solo forces her to open up, Smiley performs a tribute to a pop culture icon, and Miah struggles to nail the lead of a murder mystery group dance.

As rivals Gina and Audrey fight for a coveted Nationals solo, Gina's biggest wish could be her downfall. While Lily struggles with her first group lead ever, behavior at the studio sparks a meltdown that drives a mom and daughter out forever.

In the finale episode, it's Nationals in NYC. The team performs a Boop!-inspired group dance as one dancer seizes the lead, a soloist freezes under pressure, and Kaeli faces a breaking point.
