The UK version of the reality television series Dance Mums is reportedly set to return to screens, with Disney+ considering a new revival of the show. Initially broadcast in 2014 and 2015, the series was originally hosted by actress Jennifer Ellison, known for her role in the British soap opera Brookside. The program followed Ellison as she coached young dancers at her Liverpool-based performing arts academy.
A pilot episode for the reboot was filmed earlier this summer, and sources indicate that Disney+ has expressed strong interest in greenlighting the project. While no official announcement has been made, discussions between producers and the streaming platform are said to be underway. At this stage, no cast members have been confirmed for the upcoming series.
One notable figure linked to the potential reboot is JoJo Siwa, a U.S. singer and dancer who rose to prominence through the original American version of Dance Moms. According to insiders, Disney+ is targeting Siwa’s involvement due to her widespread popularity, though no formal agreements have been reached.
The original UK series focused on the competitive and often intense dynamics between parents eager to advance their children’s stage careers. The format, which similarly propelled several participants to fame in the American edition, relied heavily on the dramatic interpersonal relationships among the families involved.
If the reboot moves forward, producers aim to recapture the combination of talent and high-pressure parental behavior that characterized the original. The show’s success will likely depend on assembling a compelling cast capable of drawing viewers into the competitive dance environment.
