Abby Lee Miller and Cathy Nesbitt-Stein on Their Friendly Rivalry, New Show ‘Abby vs. Cathy: Hit the 8’ and What Aspiring Dancers Can Learn From It

Abby Lee Miller and Cathy Nesbitt-Stein, known for their rivalry on *Dance Moms*, have reunited as judges for a new mobile dance competition. *Abby vs. Cathy: Hit the 8* pairs them on the same panel for the first time and reflects a move towards short-form reality programmes designed for phone viewing.

The competition features 128 dancers aged 8 to 16 in a single-elimination bracket, with seven rounds and a $10,000 prize for the winner. Episodes will run for two to four minutes and also feature dancer and choreographer Lorenzo Hines as a judge. Miller and Nesbitt-Stein said their earlier on-screen conflict was shaped by production, describing their new collaboration as more professional and focused on supporting the talent.
