    Answering Your Questions And More Behind-The-Scenes Stories | Back To The Barre
    May 15 2026

    We got a special throwback episode — an early After Party video that was previously only on Patreon. But we wanted to show you all what goes on weekly in our After Party sessions available to our Patreon members. It's even more fun and casual than you're already used to with our recap episodes, plus answering more of your questions!


    In this episode, we revisit past dramas from Dance Moms, a stormy trip to Epcot, talking "filthy" on set to stop the cameras, and even menopause. This is what After Party is all about — we go in all directions! If you want access to all our After Party content, head over to our Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/backtothebarre

    Empty Chair, Do a Solo
    May 11 2026
    Come see us live!! www.x1entertainment.com/bttb"I feel like we're consistent in the mocking of Jill." Christi might be talking about her outfits, but "Showdown in Pittsburgh, Part 2" doesn't do Jill any favors when it comes to giving her plenty of mockable moments as well. I mean is it already week three of Jill trying to convince Holly she should be grateful for what Abby does for Nia? Like WHILE Abby is actively trying to sabotage Nia at every conceivable turn? Yeah it's not one of Jill's better looks for sure.In a rare feat for Dance Moms there's no Pyramid this week because for some reason (we still can't quite figure out why) Production decided to split this week into a two parter (for real we had less notes for this episode than we often do when we only cover half an episode, it's weird). But there's still plenty of drama abound as most of the ALDC moms show up to their last local competition sans daughters... and you kind of need them present to compete or the group can't perform! Outside of Nia and JoJo all the girls are still at JUMP, which Abby and the moms feel is very important for their careers unlike the hit TV show they're supposed to be filming. Abby assigns Nia and JoJo solos in case the rest of the team in a no show when it's their turn to perform. Nia will preform Never Knew once more and JoJo is instructed to freestyle on-stage (which we highly doubt as JoJo upstaging Nia would be to tempting for Abby to leave to chance).The Candy Apples and Broadway Dance Academy soon crash the party to stir up the pot. Of course Jill doesn't take kindly to Cathy's interventions, but Cathy makes some great points about how Abbys been treating Nia, which Holly confirms. Jill doesn't like Holly picking sides with her enemy and starts beating the "You need to respect what Abby does for you" drum once again, but Holly points out Nia only gets chances when no one else is there to preoccupy Abby's attention. Tensions continue to simmer as the competition gets underway, but will the rest of the ALDC show up in time to snatch victory for the Candy Apples and quell a potential Abby blow-up? Or is a blow-up inevitable if Jill and Cathy are in the same room together for longer that two minutes?Quotes“I thought about Abby saying this video is supposed to represent Nia's life and this is not Nia... is Kendall in the army? Did I miss that part of her life?" (25:19-25:33 | Christi)"I kinda love that. Whoever did that in production, how diabolical of you." (28:19-28:23 | Christi)“Thank God Abby wasn't invited [to Brooke's wedding]. Thank god, she would have been yelling at Josh, 'GET YOUR HANDS AWAY FROM YOUR CROTCH!' during the middle of the ceremony.'" (37:21-37:29 | Kelly & Christi)“You should talk about those crows feet. How about those jowls that jiggle every time you open your mouth? And then Abby says don't talk about my boobs? And she calls me a dingbat? I at least know what jowls are!" (47:28-47:43 | Christi & Kelly)LinksSubscribe to us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC50aSBAYXH_9yU2YkKyXZ0w Subscribe to our Patreon: www.patreon.com/backtothebarreThank you to Ashley Jana for allowing us to use Electricity!!

    BTTB EXPOSED: Real Housewives of Rhode Island Episode 6 | Back To The Barre
    May 8 2026

    THE TEA ☕


    We're back, and this time we're EXPOSING episode 6 of Housewives of Rhode Island. We talked about this show last week, but we got A LOT more to say this time. We get into Kelsey’s confusing boyfriend situation, the blurred-out “political family” man, and whether the whole moving-out storyline had more going on behind the scenes. Using our own TV experience, we'll tell you what's real and what feels a little too set up by producers. Plus, we also talk about our favorite Met Gala looks!
