Dance Moms' Asia Monet Ray Reveals What It Was Really Like Filming With Abby Lee Miller
A triple-threat at just 6 years old—"I grew up doing dancing, gymnastics and ice skating"—Asia was a fixture on the dance competition circuit, and became the youngest to win a national title at 2011's Starpower Nationals in Las Vegas. That's when things got interesting.
"I was continuously being challenged by new choreography—things I'm not necessarily comfortable with because I was a jazz and hip-hop dancer, and I wasn't very fond of any other genre when I was that age. The next youngest person was 12:. We were across the hall roommates at the hotel and so we ended up clicking really well and became really close friends and stuff.Honestly, every week, my mom was, like, just preparing me.
I was only in second grade. And so my school was sending me homework packets to do while I was on the show. I had certain times I had to be off set, like a hard cut for me because of legal reasons. I was still drastically younger than everyone, too. "People see the initial reaction and it's very unwelcoming. But, I think, a majority of it is, if you have someone new come in, you're going to be welcoming to an extent when it's someone coming into your own territory. And I respected that and my mom respected that as well.
The things I wish that were focused on more, rather than the drama, was just how much we love to dance. Dance was our life. We'd go back to the studio in the snow just to learn new dances and make sure we did our best. And I feel like that's what made us, our bond, really close. "I was prepared for any criticism, any critique, because I grew up with parents who told me how it was and same with choreographers and other instructors. I was not going to be fazed by Abby's commentary or any coaches' commentary. People always ask, like, 'Was it scripted?' And I'm like, 'No.'
