'Dance Moms' season 7 news: Casting begins, Abby Miller announces auditions

Dance coach Abby Lee Miller has announced auditions for new talents and stars for "Dance Moms" season 7, showing that the series is not going anywhere.

The auditions are open to 8- to 18-year-olds and they will be held in various cities in the United States, with the Utah leg having conducted last July 10.

The next audition will be in Florida up next on Aug. 1 and 2. On Aug. 3 and 4, the search will take place in Georgia. On Aug. 5 and 6, it will be in North Carolina.

On Aug. 11, it will be in Boston and will be followed by Brooklyn on Aug. 13. On the following day, "Dance Moms" season 7 aspirants can head over to Westhampton for the audition.

The next location will be Plainview for Aug. 17 with Greenvale the final stop, scheduled on Aug. 18. It is important to note that these are more than just auditions.

Miller announced the events as master classes, where in addition to auditions, there will also be warm ups, technique pointers as well as original choreography from the show.

Dancers will have to pay for tickets, which cost $129. Spectators such as parents or guardians will have to pay $49 to be able to watch the whole thing. Ticket holders also get the chance to take a picture with Miller.

This is noticeably a change in the approach of the show in taking in new talents and stars. There remains no explanation as to why this is the case.

There have been fears that "Dance Moms" season 7 will no longer happen due to Miller's court issues. However, the dance coach herself inviting talents to master classes proves otherwise.

Meanwhile, according to the latest buzz in the "Dance Moms" world, Lifetime will reportedly air "Dance Moms" season 6.5 this September and contracts have been signed for "Dance Moms" season 7.
