Abby's Studio Rescue Season 1 Episode 4 saw the charismatic but combative Lifetime star take on another reclamation project on the Dance Moms spinoff.
Not unlike the previous week, the Dance Legacy studio in Indianapolis is in shambles, as management woes might send the business into bankruptcy.
The studio owner and the director featured on Abby's Studio Rescue Season 1 Episode 4 are so fired up about fighting each other that ... well, that's what they do.
They're bleeding dancers - also known as income - and may have to close their doors sooner rather than later if Abby can't get the place back on track.
Owner Dawna started the studio after her daughter had to give up a career on stage to have a baby of her own. Daughter Dawn wants to run things her way.
A little different than the issues we saw on Abby's Studio Rescue Season 1 Episode 3, but similar in that things tend not to get done ... like at all.
On the plus side, when Abby Lee Miller came to the studio, at least the dancing was being done right; the students are learning technique and skill.
In that regard, Abby believes the possibility exists to attract new students to the studio, which will be key to bringing this place back from the brink.
But ... there's a BUT coming.
The business issues are what will ruin this business, as the instructors are lazy, the office manager unpleasant, and the mother-daughter issues toxic.
These people are vindictive to the point where it's not only ruining their own enterprise, but Abby Lee Miller is put off by it. Now that says everything.
Abby sees it as a simple task in separating business and personal relationships. No more hiring friends, and hopefully a separation of mom and daughter.
If Dawn wants to prove she can take over the business, she has to show it, and that means keeping employees in line in and outside of the practices.
Coaching is one thing, but yelling at students turns families away, and that's something we can't have. Abby manages to toe this line just enough.
Legacy? Not so much. One of Dawn's routines, to show how she could run the place, was a dance based on a wicked queen and oppressed princess.
Basically proving the point all along. In the end, though, Dawn was able to buy out her mother to stay in charge, while mom gets to enjoy retirement.
