The Australia Trip Got WAY WEIRDER | Back To The Barre with Christi Lukasiak & Kelly Hyland
About this episode
Christi and Kelly recap and react to the unique dynamics of Dance Moms season 5, episode 21, focusing on the Australia trip and its impact on the team.
Christi and Kelly recap and react to Dance Moms season 5, episode 21 — “Dance Moms Down Under, Part 2.” The Australia trip continues, but this episode feels different from a normal competition week. There is no usual pyramid-to-competition rhythm, and Christi and Kelly both point out that the whole thing feels a little off. Instead, the episode follows the team through Australia as Abby plans a Mad Max-inspired showcase routine for Maddie, Mackenzie, Kendall, and Kalani — while Nia and JoJo are once again left out of the main ALDC plan. That divide becomes the center of the episode. Christi and Kelly react to Nia getting her own performance in Melbourne, Mikey flying in to work with her, and how different the energy feels when Nia is being built up instead of torn down. They also break down the fallout from the Ireland video mocking JoJo, the moms defending the girls’ apology, and JoJo admitting that even if you forgive something, you do not just forget it.
