Is There a Trailer for ‘Dance Moms: The Reunion’?
The reunion was first shown on Lifetime's YouTube page in March. All the girls and their moms welcomed each other with a champagne toast.
"I can't remember the last time we were all together in one place," Paige joked in the preview clip. "It's been 10 years!"
Paige and her older sister, Brooke, left the show in 2014 after their mom, Kelly, had a big fight with Abby Lee.
