List of episodes

The fourth season of Dance Moms, an American dance reality television created by Collins Avenue Productions, began airing on January 1, 2014 on Lifetime's television network. A total of 32 official episodes and 2 special episodes (Guess Who's Coming to the Dance?, Dance Moms Cares Special) aired this season.

Overview

Miller fears her Junior Elite Competition team doesn't show enough drive and threatens them by hosting nationwide open auditions for a new team. Although on a winning streak, tension rises between Miller and long-time client Kelly Hyland, and Miller finds herself in definite need of new dancers. Meanwhile, Melissa relishes in her daughters' successes with Mackenzie's blossoming music career and Maddie embracing new opportunities to dance. On the 100th episode, Miller unveils her new "Select Ensemble" for the first time. At the very end of the season, Chloe and Christi decide to leave the ALDC.

Cast

The fourth season featured sixteen star billing cast members in the first seven episodes, and thirteen from episode eight onwards, with various other dancers and moms appearing throughout the season. This season is also the last to feature Brooke Hyland, Paige Hyland, and Chloe Lukasiak as part of the ALDC team as well as the first to feature Kalani Hilliker. (NOTE: Chloe only leaves the ALDC. She returns in season seven.)

Lawsuit

The episode "Big Trouble in the Big Apple" that aired on February 11, 2014 features the competition team at New York.
