Dance Moms: The History of Abby Lee Miller

     I'm pretty sure that everyone has heard of Dance Moms. If you haven't, it's a reality show on Lifetime about a women named Abby Lee that has her own dance studio in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. There, she helps young students on their way to have careers in dance along with their mothers who strongly support them.
      When Abby Lee was young, she took dance lessons at her mother, Maryen Lorrian Millers studio. Maryen had 7 dance studios prior to marrying George L. Miller from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She was treated just like all the other kids. Abby traveled with her mother to several national dance competitions and was inspired by them.
     At just the age of 14, she created her own studio where she has taught 3,000 to 4,000 students in her career! Abby wasn't just talented at dance, when she was little, she did plenty of other activities. She did everything from girl scouts and clarinet lessons to sewing lessons at Sears and ski club in the winter! She was a busy girl!
     Abby might be tough, but she is a very good example. She shows the world, that you can achive your goals at a young age. All it takes is effort, passion and a little bit of support!
