Dance Moms: Miami is a spinoff of the Lifetime reality show Dance Moms. It premiered on April 3, 2012. The show follows Victor Smalley and Angel Armas, the co-owners of Stars Dance Studio in Miami, FL. Smalley and Armas have been co-owners of the studio since it opened in 2007, and often juggle handling Victor's mother and Stars Dance Studio manager Mayra Smalley's demands and that of the competitive dance moms at the studio.
Cast
- Victor Smalley: Co-owner of Stars Dance Studio in Miami, FL which has been operating since 2007.
- Angel Armas: Co-owner of Stars Dance Studio in Miami, FL which has been operating since 2007.
- Mayra Smalley: Victor's mother. Besides being the makeup artist for Stars Dance Studio, she is the manager of the dance studio.
The Moms
- Brigette Triana: Lucas’ mother. Brigette danced from age three throughout high school, and two of her sons are enrolled at Stars Dance Studio. She strongly believes Stars Dance Studio’s competition team is a generation of future dancers, and states becoming a Dance Mom at SDS was hard as the other moms think she’s a little crass.
- Abby Small: Sammy’s mother. Abby is a stay-at-home mom whose life revolves around dance and family. Although Abby’s husband hates paying for dance costs, Abby states dance is a tradition in the family as Sammy’s sister Hayley is also a dancer. Abby believes jealousy stems from others because she and Sammy are pretty and rich.
- Debi Epstein: Hannah's mother. Debi is a creative mom of four who owns a business besides supporting Hannah’s dreams to become a great dancer. Debi considers herself a typical New Yorker and two of her daughters are enrolled at Stars Dance Studio.
- Anicia Gutierrez: Kimberly's mother. Nicknamed Ani, Anicia is also mother to a teenager named Natalie Kopke. Ani considers herself the peacemaker out of the moms on the competition team, and is a devoted working mom who works to support Kimmy unconditionally when it comes to her finding art through dance.
- Susan Kennedy: Jessica's mother. Susan’s mother danced for the National Ballet Company of Colombia and was always too busy to monitor Susan’s dancing. Therefore, Susan makes it a priority for her only daughter, Jessi, to find limelight and passion through the art of dance, even if it means coming off as overbearing and controlling.

Dance Moms: Miami follows Victor Smalley and Angel Armas, the owners and dance instructors at their renowned contemporary dance studio in Miami, Florida. The studio is managed with an iron hand by the no-nonsense instructor Angel and Victor’s mother, studio-manager Mayra Smalley. Abby and her daughter Sammy join the studio, and Debi is not happy as Sammy previously attended Debi’s daughter Hannah’s old studio and the two are rivals. Victor choreographs a sexy duet between Kimmy and Lucas that has both children feeling awkward and worried about their performance. Mayhem ensues when Victor comes down with a virus on the day of the competition, and Debi confronts Susan when Susan’s daughter Jessi rips a trophy from Hannah’s hand. | |||

Jessica is under Susan’s radar after pulling off the bottom of the List for her attitude at Hollywood Vibe towards Hannah. This week the moms, Victor, and Angel push the kids harder than ever to win. Hannah finally earns a solo, as does Lucas. Brigette and Debi argue after the competition over whether Hannah deserved her placing or not. | |||

The List
"The List", much like "The Pyramid" is used to show the moms and the dancers whom both Angel and Victor feel did the best and who needs to improve. The list changes every week. While Abby Lee Miller graded her dancers based on the titles they had previously won at competitions and the moms' attitudes, Angel Armas states the grading system at Stars Dance Studio is based on the dancer's overall attitude and performance regardless of awards and placing. Like with Dance Moms, the grading system was suggested by the show producers to the dance instructors in order to create drama on the show.
