Just when we had resolved to not seeing budding young dancers compete weekly for the spotlight on Dance Moms, Hulu brings back the series back with a new coach, new group of moms, and new dancers that will take center stage in Dance Moms: A New Era. Among those talented athletes that will star in the show is 10-year-old, Leilah Bell.
So, just who is this adorable new face in the dance world? Well, Entertainment Weekly, revealed the full cast, bios, with exclusive parent POV’s. Check out what they said about Leilah below.
Leilah began dancing at the age of 3 and she joined Studio Bleu at age 5 and started training with Miss Glo shortly after. By age 7, Leilah performed her first solo, becoming an SDA Nationals Finalist. Since then, she has won numerous titles and highest overall score awards for her solos and was a Ms. Petite Finalist at the SDA World Dance Pageant. Leilah’s favorite dance styles are jazz and contemporary and her sassy, exuberant on-stage presence perfectly complements her fun off-stage personality.
Leilah’s mother Leslie said in an interview with the outlet that it seems as if her daughter has had a “spark” for performing since the beginning.
“I am a busy working mom of three very active kids, yet my passion for helping my children chase their dreams is endless. Leilah has had a spark for performing since she was very young, lighting up the stage with her talent and sass, and lighting up the room with her personality,” Leslie said.
“Sure, the dance mom life is hectic, especially for a working mom, but I won’t miss a chance to see my baby girl shine!”
Curious about what to expect from this new series? Well, buckle up because executive producer Bryan Stinson and Hulu are about to bring viewers a “new level of mama drama” jam-packed into 10 new episodes. Check out the synopsis below from JustJared.com.
Introducing beloved dance coach, Glo Hampton, who wants to take her students and prestigious dance school Studio Bleu to the next level – competing nationally every week. But the road to glory won’t be an easy one. Coach Glo must juggle her tiny but mighty dancers, their scheming moms, and ensuing meltdowns, all while ruling with a tender but tough iron fist. Will Glo and her dance team persevere amidst the dramatics?
