Maddie's cry costume was used for her "Somewhere over the rainbow" Solo that she competed at DEA Nationals in July 2011, and won Miss Small Fry of Pittsburg PA. She first competed it in November 2010, and competed it a couple more times before the title. She competed "Somewhere over the rainbow" on the same day as "USO show/Acapella" in late march of 2011, "USO show/Acapella" placed 3rd, and "Somewhere over the rainbow" Placed first. Btw, If you are wondering how to wash the cry/over the rainbow costume without damaging it, get a bowl filled with room temp water and gentle fabric detergent, and swish it around. The other option is to put it in a pillowcase and put in in a washing machine using the gentle cycle mode. The pillowcase is like a protective bubble for the costume.

please never stop doing this series! I am obsessed with dance moms and I have a question for you: when the girls and abby were on the view and McKenzie’s part in the last text was between her and Asia. Was it really that last minute when Abby picked between the girls or did you know beforehand that McKenzie would be picked? love you! ❤❤

So many years later forms dance moms and your still active on social media and replying to people comments! That just goes to show how sweet of a person you are and that you truly do care about us!!

Fitting in was amazing maddie should be so proud!

Can you do a video of their “most expensive” costumes?

are you aware someone stole all of kenzies music and copyright claimed it as their own 😭😭?

Ahh I am so excited. I love these videos! You look stunning Melissa 💙

for your next q&a : what was your quickest change for the show like for you and for maddie and mackenzie? also do you have the solo “the woods” solo costume? also i love this series and i will never stop watching !! 🩷💗
