Abby Lee Miller was born right here in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
At the teen age of 14, Abby founded the Abby Lee Dance Company. With a penchant for creativity and a drive to succeed, Abby recognized that her 15 original company members aged 7 to 9, needed to be strong, fearless and technically trained to be able to execute her innovative choreography. This is when Abby’s zeal for teaching was established. Upon graduating from Penn Hills High School Class of ‘83, she began her lifelong career, teaching dance.
At the age of 22, Ms. Miller took over the reins at her mother’s esteemed dance studio. Under Abby’s direction, the ALDC Competition Team grew to 148 members. She soon built her own state of the art facility in her hometown to house over 450 students. She not only produced professional, employable dancers, but also created Stars! Year after year countless trophies, banners, crowns and titles, both regional and national, were won. Abby’s creation, the ALDC, forged a legacy of champions in the city of Champions!
Today, Abby Lee Miller has had students perform in 27 different Broadway shows (most recently the original cast of Death Becomes Her), graduates sign 17 consecutive contracts to perform at Tokyo Disney, the Dance Captain of Disney World’s Beauty and the Beast for 23 years running, along with numerous Radio City Rockettes - another hired for the 2026 Season, featured ensemble dancers and, of course, her protégés dancing the role of Clara in the Christmas Spectacular-while countless other alum have traveled the world with their dance training from the ALDC in Pittsburgh, PA.
In 2011, Abby Lee burst onto the reality TV scene and into your homes on screen when Lifetime Television followed a group of her students and their overzealous stage mothers to dance competitions. The rest, as they say, was history! Abby appeared on Jimmy Fallon, The Talk, Doctor’s, Dr Oz, co-hosted The View and served as a guest judge on Dancing With The Stars! Dance Moms became a pop-culture phenomenon which consistently drew 2.8 million viewers weekly, sold to international outlets, aired in 134 countries and in 11 different languages. A spin off, Abby’s Ultimate Dance Competition came next, followed by Abby’s Studio Rescue! The shows are currently streaming on HULU/ Disney+ to a whole new audience! While Ms. Miller works on several new TV projects, she continues to entertain audiences on her YouTube channel with brand new material both entertaining & educational as well as her Podcast ~ Leave It On The Dance Floor! Abby travels the world teaching the art of Dance & Acrobatics to thousands of children and spilling the tea at colleges and universities. Most recently, the prestigious ~ Oxford University.
