The 21 Best Dances On "Dance Moms," Ranked

    *Abby Lee Miller is typing*

    There are two types of people in the world: those who watched Dance Moms for the drama and those who watched it for the dancing.

    While the show did sometimes make you question your morals, there was also a lot of beauty within the choreography and the girls' relationships with one another.

    And with 229 episodes, there were truly so MANY good dances on the show.

    Abby would probably put me at the bottom of the pyramid for this, but here are the 21 best dances on Dance Moms, ranked:

    21. "Dream on a Star" (Season 1, Episode 10)

    Personally, one of my favorite dances this group has ever done. They made complete use of the prop, they sold their characters, and they look like legit showgirls.

    Honestly, one of the most beautiful group dances they've ever done. Their costumes were simple — so their dancing could speak for itself.

    4. "Boss Ladies" (Season 6, Episode 18)

    Lifetime / Via youtube.com

    Okay, well, obviously this one had to make the list because the group was challenged with a hip-hop routine and was complete FIRE.

    3. "Say Something, Say Anything" (Season 7, Episode 10)

    Kalani's technique was consistently amazing throughout the show, and this winning solo is a prime example.

    Abby Lee loves a heart-wrenching, drama-filled dance, and this one is no exception. The part where Kalani walks across the chairs literally gives me chills. It's just so good.
