At its most basic level, the show revolves around the Junior Elite Competition Team of the Pittsburgh-originated Abby Lee Dance Company (headed by Abby Lee Miller), consisting of a group of young girls aged 6-15 who Miller is training to become professional dancers, as brought and looked after by their mothers (the titular "dance moms", akin to "soccer moms"). The main portion of the show's episodes has the team practicing for and traveling to weekly dance competitions, building up to Nationals (which is often what seasons end with).

While watching the girls [[ComingOfAgeStory grow up and improve]] is a long-term aspect of the show's appeal, the lion's share of its success is attributed to the drama and conflict among the show's subjects (sometimes created through [[ManipulativeEditing less-than-ethical means on behalf of the producers]]), such that it's ''incredibly'' rare [[OnceAnEpisode for an episode to go by]] without at least one shouting fight (or, occasionally, even a physical one).
