The drama between the moms of the Abby Lee Dance Company (ALDC) heats up when new girl Brynn Rumfallo and her mom Ashlee Allen join the mix on Lifetime's hit reality TV series "Dance Moms." Rumfallo finally earned a spot in the ALDC's junior elite competition team in last week's episode but Allen creates tension in the group when she refuses to play nice with the other dance moms.
In a sneak peek for the Tuesday (March 29) episode, instructor Abby Lee Miller announces that the routine her junior elite team will learn for this weeks' competition is a tribute to the late musical icon David Bowie.
"This week, we have a tribute to David Bowie," Miller tells her girls. "You have to portray what David Bowie stood for-own who you are. Embrace your uniqueness."
The girls prepare to take the stage for their performance, dressed in oversized blazers that represent each color in the ROYGBIV spectrum of a rainbow. The girls also wear the iconic lightning bolt-shaped make up that the late rock star wore on the cover of his hit 1973 album "Aladdin Sane."
But while the girls are trying to convey a positive message through their dance skills, the tension between Allen and fellow dance mom Jill Vertes (mom of junior elite competition team member Kendall Vertes) escalates into a blowout in front of the girls.
"All you want is drama here," Jill says in the clip.
"You're just jealous Brynn knows how to have a better season than Kendall," Allen says. Kendall wipes tears from her eyes and Rumfallo comforts her.
"She has to tear down every kid to make hers feel good," Vertes, storming out. 'I'm done! I'm leaving, goodbye!
"This is absolutely nuts," Miller says in her on-camera interview.
Another preview for tonight's episode provides a little more context for the argument between Jill and Allen. Allen says something that clearly upsets Kendall. The teen walks over to Allen and yells in her face-and her mom Jill loses it.
"I am not allowing this woman to talk to my child like that!" Jill yells at Miller, and then turns to Allen.
"Grow the f--k up!" Jill screams at Allen and then storms out after her daughter.
Miller tries to call Vertes back, but she yells from the hallway, "You can have her!"
