'Dance Moms' season 6 news: Mackenzie clashes with Abby, Mini Elite dancer Alexis Oladi to return
"Dance Moms" returns for its sixteenth episode on April 19 titled "Mack Z vs. Abby Lee." In an official synopsis for the episode, Mackenzie Ziegler appeared to be dismayed after Abby Lee Miller gave both JoJo Siwa and Brynn Rumfallo hip hop solos, and she ended up with a safe acrobatic routine. Ziegler even tried to fight for what she wants, leading Lee to walk out of the studio.
Despite Ziegler and Lee's misunderstanding, it somehow turned out to be a good thing. As noted by a "Dance Moms" spoiler website, Lee eventually allowed Mackenzie to have a solo routine for the Xpression Dance Competition which was held last February 13 in Sacramento, California. Ziegler proved that Lee made no mistake after snagging the first place in the Junior Division with her solo titled "Bully."
On another note, one of Lee's Mini Elite dancers Alexis Oladi is confirmed to return to the show. According to a report by FOX 13, the eight-year-old dancer was invited by Lifetime to audition for the show, after knowing about her viral dancing video on Youtube. Even though Alexis began dancing as early as age three with many accolades under her belt, Lee believes that her Mini Elite Team still needs to train rigorously before joining competitions.
As noted by Design & Trend, Alexis seem to like being in the show, stating that the experience was not that difficult since she's used to being in front of the camera. "It took a lot of work to do that coz I wanna be a good dancer when I grow up so I have to work really hard to get what I want," the young performer mentioned. When asked about how she perceives the show, Alexis sees the show with "drama, moms that are fighting and really good dancers."
The sixth season of "Dance Moms" airs every Tuesday on Lifetime at 9:00 p.m. ET.
