Dance Moms
In 2011, she starred in the reality TV show “Dance Moms, created to showcase the training and talents of the aforementioned Abby Miller’s students. It included the dancers’ mothers, and how they factored into the training of their children.
Of all the dancers at the Abby Lee Dance Company, Brooke Hyland was the oldest, and appeared on the show alongside her younger sister Paige and her mother Kelly. Before the show, everyone knew Brooke as Abby Miller’s favorite dancer on the team.
However, as time passed, Brooke gradually lost interest in dancing, and her relationship with Abby experienced a decline, perhaps sparked by Kelly Hyland and Abby Miller having an altercation backstage during the filming of the show’s fourth season. In January 2014, Kelly was arrested on the charges of assaulting Abby Miller in November 2013.
