Chloe Lukasiak Is Returning To "Dance Moms" This Season
If you love Dance Moms, you already know that Chloe Lukasiak is basically your reality TV star BFF. She keeps it real, she's not afraid to stand up for herself, and she can do a lyrical routine under extreme pressure like a total boss. You were probs devastated to see her go, which is why you're going to DIE to know that she's coming back.
We caught up with Chloe and she spilled the tea on the new season, being back on a team, and if she's seen Abby Lee Miller.
Seventeen: What made you decide to go back on the show?
Chloe Lukasiak: Well, at the end of the last season I'd heard that my ALDC teammates were back on the east coast and it was going to be their last episode. I was like, 'Oh my god, I have to go see them. Dancing with them is such a big part of my childhood.' So I visited them at Nationals and it was so amazing. Then I found out that the show was coming back for another season and my mom started talking to [the other moms] and we decided to go back for another season. It was pretty insane and out of nowhere.
S: Were you nervous about going back on the show?
CL: I was a little nervous. There were a lot of reasons why my mom and I left and I hadn't really left the show on good terms. It was a little weird, but I was also really exicted. I got to see my friends and be on my team again and it was really crazy. I was backstage at a competition at one point and I was like, "I can't believe I'm back again."
S: Have you seen Abby recently?
CL: I haven't seen Abby and I think I saw Gianna once.
S: Who is your dance teacher this season?
CL: We have Cheryl Burke. She is so amazing. She's been in the industry a long time. She was on Dancing with the Stars. She really got us and took us under her wing.
S: Was she as competitive as Abby?
CL: She's pretty competitive, but she really cares about us.
S: How does it feel to be back on a team?
CL: I was thrilled to be dancing with my friends again. I competed for a year without them, but it wasn't the same. And there are some new faces on the show this season.
S: Was it weird to be on-camera all of the time...again?!
CL: The weird thing was that it wasn't weird even though for two years I learned how to live without the cameras around.
S: Anything exciting we can expect from season 7B?
CL: You can expect a lot of drama from the show, lots of crying. I cried so much. I was like, "I'm such a crybaby." And all of the dances I've done on the most recent season I've really loved. The last number of the season is amazing. But you have to keep an open mind this season because it does change a lot and it's going to be a little different than what fans are used to. I think the change was good for all of us.
S: What do you hope fans take away from your return?
CL: Some people have asked us why we would go back, but I think it's important that I do. It was unfinished business for me. I've now been able to close that chapter and move on. You just have to ignore what people are saying and do what's right for you.
S: Would you want to come back for a season 8?
CL: I don't know. I really have no idea. I think the girls and I are all going in different directions and we're really at the beginning of our careers, so we'll have to see.
S: WAIT. Your mom is coming back too, right?
CL: Of course. She'll be back with all of her little remarks that we're all thinking but only she has the guts to say.
So glad to have you back, girl! Dance Moms premieres Tuesday, Aug. 1 at 9 p.m. ET on Lifetime.
