History Awesome / DanceMoms

* Christi's remark to Abby is "a nice callback to another awesome moment in season 1.

* In "Big Trouble in the Big Apple", Kelly attacking Abby is considered by many to be her finally [[KickTheSonOfABitch kicking the son of a bitch]]. (Well, technically pulling on the son of a bitch's hair.) [[TearJerker Too bad it resulted in her and her kids getting expelled from the team.]] A DyingMomentOfAwesome, of sorts.

* The girls getting to meet MattyB and potentially acting in his music video. [[PromotedFanboy Kendall even described him as one of her favorite pop stars.]] [[YankTheDogsChain Then, Abby pulls the girls from the video.]]

* Even though they only had four girls on the team, the ALDC was still able to win the overall title for the first competition of the season.

* After ''three seasons'', the show '''finally''' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGU5ivVawd8 got a new intro]]. Is it better? ''Hell to the yeah.''

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VG5Au7dhec8 "Suicide Hotline"]], not only is it in memory of a friend of Kalani's, but there are plenty of awesome moments within the dance, including Nia, Brynn and Kendall forming human stairs that Kalani then walks up to get onto the table, and Kalani falling backwards off of the table, being caught by the other three, and going straight back into a backwards cartwheel (this was planned), which led to applause from Abby and a judge. Made even more awesome by the fact that this was the week that JoJo didn't show up, meaning that Abby had to adapt her choreography to fit with the change.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QajOwj1l4ZE "Amber Alert"]], a great exercise in AdultFear.

* After Brooke [[spoiler:temporarily]] leaves the ALDC team to pursue cheerleading, Payton takes her spot. In one scenario during the Pyramid, everyone has been called except for Payton, and the only spot left is the top. Abby then reveals that the person at the top of the Pyramid is [[spoiler:Brooke, since she has rejoined the team]].

* The girls placing first with a ''part improv'' group dance. [[spoiler:And it was dedicated to Broadway Baby]], no less.

* In the episode of the last replacement audition [[spoiler:and of Paige and Brooke's last day on the team]], one of the moms of a cut dancer insists that her daughter's a-la-secondes are ten times better than Paige's (causing Paige to start crying). What does Abby do? Call the girl back up and have her go against Paige. Paige wins, and the girl and mom are sent away in disgrace. Christi says that only Abby is allowed to say bad things about her dancers. Paige and Chloe also had a contemporary duet, and it was pretty awesome. [[spoiler:Negated, of course, by the fact that this is the episode where Paige and Brooke are kicked off the team.]]
* In "Big Trouble in the Big Apple", Kelly attacking Abby is considered by many to be her finally [[KickTheSonOfABitch kicking the son of a bitch]]. (Well, technically pulling on the son of a bitch's hair.) [[spoiler:[[TearJerker Too bad it resulted in her and her kids getting expelled from the team.]]]]
** It's a [[spoiler:DyingMomentOfAwesome]], of sorts.
** After [[spoiler:[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9c2K9H9tAo Kelly attacks Abby]]]], one of the moms' first instinct is to get the kids out of the room. And it was [[BadassPacifist Hol]][[OnlySaneWoman ly]], no less.

* While [[spoiler:Mrs. Miller's death]] was a big TearJerker, Abby did state that she "defied all medical textbooks", which is pretty cool in and of itself.

* During Kendall's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoWaU4WNTYo "Welcome to a New World" Bollywood solo]], the music suddenly stops. Not only does she keep going, but [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments the crowd assists in clapping to set a proper tempo for her]]. [[spoiler:[[YankTheDogsChain Then she places second.]]]]

The girls' retaliation is a nice big ShutUpHannibal[[/note]]

* Ever since [[spoiler:leaving the team]], Chloe has found new success at another, much more friendly dance studio, continually receives support from her ever-growing fanbase on social media. The whole of this is just a great big proud middle finger to Abby. Chloe's DarkHorseVictory at the Teen Choice Awards over Maddie firmly solidified that.

* This troper finds Christi's remark to Abby to be a nice callback to another awesome moment in season 1.
