Lilly- ms bender - Brooke Areana- ms turner - Chloe Peyton - ms flipper- Mackenzie Elliana - ms jumper- maddie Alexus- ms kicker - Paige And I think Nia is ms graceful
All of the dances were so good! Those little ones are not only adorable, good with their dance technique, but also amusing/entertaining! Gosh! Wow. I love the concept, the costumes. Ughhhh! They're sooooo cuuuuute! I know they're not actually Abby's real students (actualy are they? I dunno...) but I love seeing them together.
They aren't Abby's students because she had an open auditions and you can look them up and see it's not under the Abby lee dance company for competitions
+Ms Philomath Wow you're really rude. How would you feel if someone said that to you? And that doesn't matter anyway. We're talking about what such awesome dancers they are. And they're all beautiful in my opinion
I'm not trying to compare the girls because I know that every one of them is their own special self, but this is who I think they are most alike: Areana ~ Maddie Elliana ~ Kalani Lilliana ~ Brynn Alexus ~ Jojo Peyton ~ Mackenzie
+doedelzak Where did you read that? And okay, Cathy's generally fun to watch but why no minis? Minis are awesome! And it seems people genuinely like the, I see mostly good comments about them :(
***** Oh man, that sucks. I dunno, new moms seem to be causing a lot of drama and watching the minis was a pleasure. Well, shit happens ;) Thanks for clarifying!
+eillhart Haha, the minis and their moms were actually interesting this episode. The producers acted too soon. They finally had a storyline that resembles that of the elites which had me actually rooting for certain minis to win the crown xD
+Brittney Perrodin I' gonna watch the whoke thing today but yeah I get what you're saying. Dance Moms as a show is always going to be more or less repetitive: somebody wins, somebody loses, somebody's Abby's favorite, somebody's neglected, somebody's going to be a star blah blah blah. It's okay but tge Elite girls will soon want to move on and we'll never get as attatched to any new additions. I mean, Brynn has quite a fanbase but I think they kind of came specifically for her, knowing her from real comps. And I think the viewers would prefer to get a chance to grow with another generation of dancers. Part if this show's charm is watching the kids become teens and young adults. So Abby had, surprisingly, a pretty solid idea here. And she's actually pretty good at kids' routines. It's the higher divisions she struggles with. Some people say that the minis are more skilled than the Elite girls are right now... Maybe that's the reason? Maybe it would be difficult to sell the Elites as the best of the best when little girls could already do so much better? Personally I don't mind that. I root for the girls because I like them, not because they are ~superior ;)
awh man thats so sad to hear, i agree with the other poster, the minis were finally getting a more interesting storyline. the ratings went down on the show so Lifetime is scrambling (as they do best when one of their hit shows drops slightly) ugh!
Did anyone notice the strips they were wearing said things like " miss jumper, kicker, flipper, turner" like the aspects each of the minis were good at. I love that touch its so cute
Thing is when the big girls were starting out dance was something you did after school. Whereas when these girls started out dance was something you left school for so you could spend more time at it. Plus Abby is't ging to be able to attract a top notch teaching faculty to Pittsburgh. The best coaches go to New York or the East Coast as many of them are dancers themselves so that's where the work is.
This dance is so cute, I love it! All of their acting was amazing and I think that as a group they are all so talented! I don't think that they need a "Maddie" of the group as they all are able to stand out in their own ways!
+meowingwool The minis are actually quite a bit younger than the junior elite team were in season 1. The S1 team consisted of Mackenzie (6), Maddie (8), Chloe (9), Nia (9), Paige (10), and Brooke (13). They usually excluded Mackenzie from the dances, which would've made the average age around 9-10. The mini team consists of Peyton (6), Lilliana (7), Elliana (8), Alexus (8), and Areana (10). This makes their average age around 7-8, since they actually include the six-year-old this time. At most competitions, 8 and under is the mini category, while 9-12 is the junior category. So that's why the S1 team was called the Junior Elite Team, and these kids are called the Mini Team.
Wow the minis are amazing!! And I love the way they really show their expressions! Especially Ari, she'll definitely go far this season and I can see her as a superstar in the future! That also applies to the rest of them because they're all so talented and amazing😍💕
Tbh Peyton is really cute and all but she's usually late. She also doesn't show a lot of emotion either. I think she's better at solos than group dances
You have to remember that she's the youngest of all of them. She's like 7 and she is dancing better than Mackenzie used to when she was 7. I am sure she will pick it up.
Peyton is the youngest (she turned seven shortly after this episode, while Lilliana turned eight after this episode). Lilliana is the second youngest - she's just really small and Peyton's really tall, lol.
I thought lilliana was the one who was mostly late but Peyton and lilliana are couple years younger then the other girls so it's understandable plus is Lillianas first dance with this group so I thought they did very well
Over all, this has been the most best dance from the minis. Its the only dance where they stick together as a group, and not 5 solos. And I love how Abbie those crazy things and not original things. That's what makes the girls win all the time.
Tbh the mini’s are so underrated! Like I know that the older girls are the originals but they couldn’t do what these mini’s can do. The difficulty has gotten up so much since the show got famous
SPOILER . . . . . . im so mad that this group got separated, all those girls danced like maddie at that age.. imagine when they got older. Abbie what were you thinking?
Elliana's sassy bit at the end, though. I love that kid.
I know I love her personality as well!
bleh Same shes hilarious
Lol
Ikr
i wish they come back to dance moms
Elliana was like "COME AT ME BRUH!!"
Facts! 😂😂
*FACTZ*
Lmao😂
Lol
😂
Peyton: Miss Flipper
Ellianna: Miss Jumper
Alexis: Miss Kicker
Areana: Miss Turner
Lillianna: Miss Bender
Abby: Miss Abby Lee Miller
Lol that makes sense!😄
aka - Nia. Maddie. Chole Brooke Paige ,haha - but Abby's formula works! these girls will be huge
Maddie: Miss Turner
Chloe: Miss Jumper
Nia: Miss Flipper
Paige: Miss Kicker
Brooke: Miss Bender
?
J Wall i would swap Maddie and Chloe around. Maybe switch Paige and Nia aswell?
I don't know about the others but I would actually put Mackenzie as Miss Flipper since she always does tricks and stuff
Elliana has the legs.
Peyton has the tricks.
Areana has the turns.
Lilliana has the flexibility.
Alexus has the sass.
Your right
scooter elliana has the sass and the legs
The perfect team
danger lusts Elliana isn’t sassy
Katie Kitten she’s a gorgeous dancer tho
hope the series continues so we get to see them grow up as we saw the other girls
Abby posted on Instagram that the producers sent them home! And brought bloody Cathy back
wtf producers
yeah Cathy came with a group dance called "were back... your nightmare"
ItsJustMeTracey agree
Rozzy Bauer half of them left and only two or one of the minis are left
Lilly- ms bender - Brooke
Areana- ms turner - Chloe
Peyton - ms flipper- Mackenzie
Elliana - ms jumper- maddie
Alexus- ms kicker - Paige
And I think Nia is ms graceful
Ava Argentina graceful is the last word id use for nia
Virginsuicde ewwwww
Sassy ALDC how? strong? intelligent? determined? performer? those come to mind when i think of nia
😍
Or mackenzie should be miss tumbler
elliana at the end tho 😂
Ikr! That was so cute😂😂
Ikr
Holly Chambers lol
This dance is too cute!
Ikr! It's one of my favorite mini dances!
No
No
No
Sophia Lambert why is The people saying no
At 1:01 AMAZING straddle jump!!!
Irk! I think Eliana is underrated, her flexibility is amazing and she was so funny at the end!!
Rebecca Segal that was elliona
Em Livingstone ikr
She is Miss Jumper.
Bianca Alvarado it looks like it because one leg was higher but it was a Russian jump
Gosh minis never fail to amaze me! their technique is so good and their facial expressions are so perfect! kendall will never
YES LMAO
All of the dances were so good! Those little ones are not only adorable, good with their dance technique, but also amusing/entertaining! Gosh! Wow. I love the concept, the costumes. Ughhhh! They're sooooo cuuuuute! I know they're not actually Abby's real students (actualy are they? I dunno...) but I love seeing them together.
They aren't Abby's students because she had an open auditions and you can look them up and see it's not under the Abby lee dance company for competitions
I love the minis! This is actually my favorite group dance that they’ve ever done. (Eli was hilarious at the end 😂😂)
These girls are such exceptional dancers
+Ms Philomath that is such an awful thing to say😬
You are so rude to speak like that about little kids. You must be an awful person.
+Ms Philomath Wow you're really rude. How would you feel if someone said that to you? And that doesn't matter anyway. We're talking about what such awesome dancers they are. And they're all beautiful in my opinion
Phil, we are complimenting her.
Cry Baby No I was replying to a Ms Philomath who deleted her comment. She called the mini girls ugly little things.
Omg Elliana at the end lol 😂
Eliana was so adorable at the end omg
Oh and pause at 1:02 not even the original dance moms can leap that good, she should be the next everything lol
1:01
She doesn’t choreograph it ya idiot
This dance is amazing. The costumes are gorgeous. They gave it 110%. I love it!!!
omg these kids are freaking amazing and strong, their faces and flexibility
I love them actually , especially that one I think is Arianna right ?
*Areana:)
Thank you ^ no but I actually really like the minis , their facial expressions are amazing .
+ForeverLovers2102 its actually Ariana they posted a interview vid on insta and its ariana heh heh
But Ari's instagram says that it's Areana?
scomicheand phan It is spelled Areana not Arianna
After watching all their group dances this was definitely their best one in terms of timing💕✨
That moment when the minis are technically better than the older girls.
Brynn and Kalani are better Lmao
Mac Weilman they are not better because the choreography is a lot easier to do
Their not
Because they werent trained by Abby!
Y'all the minis are better then the og's when they were the minis age
The tanned girl was amazing she needs to get into acting
That's Areana Lopez and yes her expressions and the way she really presents to the audience and goes all out is amazing!
Their reactions at the end are golden (especially Elliana)😂
Omg I thought one of the girls flipped the other off at the end
This is cute !! Ariana's turns dammn ! (its ariana?)
they call her Ari but her name is Areana
Her mom filled her mouth up with botox along with hers?
What is wrong with the little girl's mouth?
She genetically has big lips, I don't know if you realise but thats a thing.
It's actually spelled Areana
thnks !
I love how they dance, girls are so lovely, they're all great, I love them.
I'm not trying to compare the girls because I know that every one of them is their own special self, but this is who I think they are most alike:
Areana ~ Maddie
Elliana ~ Kalani
Lilliana ~ Brynn
Alexus ~ Jojo
Peyton ~ Mackenzie
Giulia Wist u r right
That's so accurate.
Same
So true!
Where are Nia Chloe Brynn Brooke Paige?
I loved the end part when Elliana was all shocked
Ellianas and brynns jumps are the best on dance moms
most underrated dance moms dance. look at ellie's leap!
It's ironic that the minis routine are technically more difficult compare to the elite team. I believe that this team is the future of Dance mom.
+doedelzak Where did you read that? And okay, Cathy's generally fun to watch but why no minis? Minis are awesome! And it seems people genuinely like the, I see mostly good comments about them :(

My favorite mini group dance so far.
How have I never seen this before??? They were SO ADORABLE!!! Ellie at the end killed me🤣🤣🤣🤣
1:01 holy crap that straddle though-
Did anyone notice the strips they were wearing said things like " miss jumper, kicker, flipper, turner" like the aspects each of the minis were good at. I love that touch its so cute
Oh and bender
Ari is such a good turner like she is better then everyone in my dance class even better then 17 and 18 years olds
its so cute how eliana flipped her hair at the end
love how the miniteam is better than the elite. their technique and overall performance is amazing. elliana really stood out to me!
they actually look like their are having fun when they dance unlike the elite team
yes but i don't really count them, and i hope people understand that i don't mean brynn and kalani haha! :)
Thing is when the big girls were starting out dance was something you did after school.

Eliana was perfect
I went to this competition and my friend got a selfie with Eliana :3
Did they win??
Also lucky!!!!
Julia Cholewinska Ya they won first :3
Julia Cholewinska a
Did anyone else notice that in the start everyone did something like turns or jumps. But Alexis did a jazz walk
Amber Perez *Alexus*
The straddle jump elliana did was AMAZING IT WAS A HUGE OVERSPLIT IF YOU PAUSE AT THE RIGHT TIME 🤗🤗🤗🤗❤️😁😁
Elli was like “COME AT ME BRUH”😂😂
This is my fav mini group dance everrrrrrr!!
I loved ellianas ending it was so sassy and made the dance
they are amazing, and Elliana she kill it. love really this dance
Anyone Else Think That Payton Did A Amazing Job??
sari, yolanda, kira, and elliana CARRIED this episode
Awww❤❤❤the EXPRESSIONS!!!
the minis did great.
Why are we forced to call them "minis"? So god damn cheesy
because they're minis...
They are almost the same age as the elite team in season 1...they were the junior elite team.
+meowingwool The minis are actually quite a bit younger than the junior elite team were in season 1. The S1 team consisted of Mackenzie (6), Maddie (8), Chloe (9), Nia (9), Paige (10), and Brooke (13). They usually excluded Mackenzie from the dances, which would've made the average age around 9-10. The mini team consists of Peyton (6), Lilliana (7), Elliana (8), Alexus (8), and Areana (10). This makes their average age around 7-8, since they actually include the six-year-old this time. At most competitions, 8 and under is the mini category, while 9-12 is the junior category. So that's why the S1 team was called the Junior Elite Team, and these kids are called the Mini Team.
am I the only one smiling through the whole thing
Omg Arianas turns are INCREDIBLE! I would kill to be able to turn at that age!
I really love Alexus!!! Also ellianna SHE WAS SASSY AND GREAT!!!
who else things that this dance is adorable??🤗😝😁
peyton: * does like a million back kickovers *
alexus: 🚶🏼♀️
Alexus is sooooo cute ❤
OMG I LOVE HER!
I love this dance! They all did well.
Cali cuties is one of my favourite Aldc dances
I don't remember the moms name at the end but she has good sportsmanship even though her daughter didn't get the winning role .
Yolanda. Elliana's mother.
Yolanda's daughter was the one who walked off stage last.
NO SHE IS THE WORST.. just wait for it
Kishachu I was talking about Yolanda not Elliana
Autumn G yea thats true..Yolanda is kinda the reason Eliana got kicked of the team
Wow the minis are amazing!! And I love the way they really show their expressions! Especially Ari, she'll definitely go far this season and I can see her as a superstar in the future! That also applies to the rest of them because they're all so talented and amazing😍💕
I loved what elli did at the end lol
Elliana at the end tho 😂
That girl has SASS
Ellianas Bit at the end is my mood
Tbh Peyton is really cute and all but she's usually late. She also doesn't show a lot of emotion either. I think she's better at solos than group dances
You have to remember that she's the youngest of all of them. She's like 7 and she is dancing better than Mackenzie used to when she was 7. I am sure she will pick it up.
no lillianna is the youngest
Peyton is the youngest (she turned seven shortly after this episode, while Lilliana turned eight after this episode). Lilliana is the second youngest - she's just really small and Peyton's really tall, lol.
+Maddie ziegler and mack Z fan no Peyton is younger
I thought lilliana was the one who was mostly late but Peyton and lilliana are couple years younger then the other girls so it's understandable plus is Lillianas first dance with this group so I thought they did very well
Over all, this has been the most best dance from the minis. Its the only dance where they stick together as a group, and not 5 solos. And I love how Abbie those crazy things and not original things. That's what makes the girls win all the time.
Fav dance from the minis!❤️
I feel like Peyton is like a mini Mackenzie with her tricks
Lilliana's walk at the end though. lol
Alejandra Perez. Haha
they are so beautiful girls and good in dancing
alexus doesnt even do tricks 😂😂
Cause she is the kicker
how did I not notice after watching this so many times that their nicknames correlated with what they did in the dance 🤦♀️
The end made me laugh!! 😂😂😂
Tbh the mini’s are so underrated! Like I know that the older girls are the originals but they couldn’t do what these mini’s can do. The difficulty has gotten up so much since the show got famous
Lol my favorite ending.
I've literally watched this a thousand times, because of Ariana's perfect turns and Elliana
s hair flip at the end,
and EVERYRTHING!
I love this dance it's so cute 😂😭😍
1:02 Wow she has a really good legs and straddle jump

I thought eliana was great! Dancing and acting and all
When Ari got called for Cali cutie it was magical
I like Eliana's part when she went off stage but did you notice Liliana's part? XD
I couldnt stop laughing at eli. At the end
Eliana's mum is like the holly of the team!
And kerri
+Maddie ziegler and mack Z fan lol Kerri is not a holly I think she's more of a kelly
Not anymore
NO Yolanda is so dramatic.
Wait for it
Areana is acting like she is the Queen!!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤ And I love this video!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I actually really like the dance and the costumes
Little Eliana and Lily is so cute

I'm so glad Alexus was the lead
Eli is hilarious i love her omg
I love how it cuts off before Yolanda can finish her sentence
Omg that is so funny that girl at the end was so funny
Looked like Yolanda’s daughter was throwing up gang signs😂
ok, let’s admit it, alexus’s special parts were just jazz walks
