If you were a fan of *Dance Moms*, you definitely remember Abby Lee Miller—the tough, no-nonsense dance instructor who became both loved and loathed for her brutally honest (and often controversial) teaching style. The show wrapped years ago, but Abby’s story is far from over. So, where is she now? Let’s dive in.
#### Health Struggles and Resilience
Abby’s life took a dramatic turn in 2018 when she was diagnosed with Burkitt lymphoma, a rare and aggressive form of cancer. She underwent multiple surgeries and chemotherapy, and at one point was told she might never walk again. But if there’s one thing we know about Abby, it’s that she’s a fighter. Through intense physical therapy and sheer determination, she not only regained her ability to walk but has been gradually returning to the dance world.
She’s been open about her health journey on social media, sharing updates and motivating others facing similar battles. Her resilience is nothing short of inspiring.
#### Career Evolution
Post-*Dance Moms*, Abby hasn’t stepped away from the spotlight completely. She launched the *Abby Lee Dance Company Online*, offering virtual classes and workshops—a smart pivot, especially during the pandemic. She also occasionally appears as a guest judge on dance competitions and has teased potential new TV projects.
Though she’s no longer producing reality TV drama on the daily, her influence in the dance community remains strong. Many of her former students—Maddie Ziegler, JoJo Siwa, and others—have become household names, and Abby takes pride in their success (even if relationships have been rocky at times).
#### Personal Life and Public Persona
Abby’s always been an open book, and that hasn’t changed. She’s active on Instagram and YouTube, sharing glimpses of her life, recovery progress, and strong opinions (because would it really be Abby without those?). She’s also written a book, *Everything I Learned About Life, I Learned in Dance Class*, and continues to engage with fans who still can’t get enough of her signature blend of tough love and passion for dance.
#### Final Thoughts
Love her or hate her, Abby Lee Miller is a force. Her journey from reality TV star to cancer survivor and back to the dance world is a testament to her grit and dedication. She may not be on our screens every week anymore, but she’s still making waves—on her own terms.
