On the Dance Moms episode ‘No Clowning Around,’ it’s six weeks until nationals and dance instructor Abby Lee Miller reveals her choreography for a group routine that involves clowns. Not the circus kind of clowns but the real menacing clowns that “are threatening and attacking people” across the U.S. Miller hires a creepy clown to appear outside the ALDC studio which (reasonably) scares the girls and moms at rehearsal.
“Seeing that clown makes everyone realize just how serious this (clown) matter is,” says Miller. It’s not the first time Miller has used dance to address serious topics. In a recent episode, she addressed teen suicide. Dance Moms airs Tuesdays at 9pm on Lifetime.
