Appearances[]

On Dance Moms[]

  • She was seen in the audience in JoJo with a Bow Bow.
  • In Abby's Trash, Cathy's Treasure, Melanie says that she and her daughter are out for revenge against Abby. Speaking in the audience at the competition, she criticizes Maddie's "Elastic Heart" video as inappropriate, and gets in a shouting match with Abby.
  • In Mackenzie's Time to Shine, she reads to Abby an old social media message by Kira (video), which boasts that Kalani's talent is above and beyond Abby's own dancers, thus creating disharmony among the ALDC. She later comforts Chloe', when Abby tells Liza to get her daughter's ears fixed.

Other information[]

  • Melanie started Haley dancing when her daughter was nineteen months old.[3]
  • Despite the fighting with Abby, Melanie says she is still grateful for the opportunities Abby has given to her daughter.[4]
