Plot Synopsis

DANCE MOMS: MIAMI is a reality show that follows young dancers -- and their mothers -- at the Miami-based Stars Dance Studio, where the school's owners and renowned contemporary dance instructors, Victor Smalley and Angel Armas, teach, train and choreograph a diverse group of talented girl and boy dancers, as they strive to become the best in the sport of competitive dance and tomorrow's stars. While Victor and Angel fiercely dedicate their lives to their craft, they expect the same from both their young students and their mothers, but there are often conflicting goals and aspirations among teachers, students and parents. All under the watchful eye of Victor's mother and Stars Dance Studio manager, Mayra Smalley, the team strives to uphold their motto of "Turning Kids into Dancers and Dancers into Stars," often sparking drama between the competitive mothers. Born and raised in Miami, Victor has become well known throughout the dance world for his contemporary choreography, with his first big break as a finalist on Season 6 of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE. At the age of 12, Cuban-born Angel's interest in dance ignited when he began taking lessons in ballroom dance, and now his choreography is in high demand by local TV shows, concerts and artists.
