What is the name of the dance studio featured in Dance Moms?

The dance studio featured in Dance Moms is the Abby Lee Dance Company.

The Lifetime series originally followed the Abby Lee Dance Company's Junior Elite Competition Team in Pittsburgh. Abby Lee Miller trained the dancers, created choreography, and managed the intense competition environment portrayed on the show, while the dancers' mothers became central figures in its conflicts and storylines.

Dance Moms premiered on July 13, 2011. Its early seasons focused on the Pittsburgh studio and competitions across the United States. The series later expanded its setting to Los Angeles, where Miller opened an ALDC location in 2015. The show featured dancers including Maddie and Kenzie Ziegler, Nia Sioux, and JoJo Siwa.

A frequent mix-up is naming a rival studio. Broadway Dance Academy, Candy Apples Dance Center, and Studio 19 appeared as competing teams or locations, but they were not the primary studio associated with Miller's team. The company is also sometimes shortened to ALDC, standing for Abby Lee Dance Company.

Miller formed the dance company in 1980 at her mother's studio, and the television series made the organization internationally recognizable.
