ABBY LEE MILLER TO MAKE OVER STRUGGLING DANCE STUDIOS IN NEW SERIES "ABBY'S STUDIO RESCUE," PREMIERING JUNE 17

LOS ANGELES, CA (April 15, 2014) - Renowned dance coach and Dance Moms star, Abby Lee Miller is on the road, looking to transform dance studios on the brink of disaster in the all-new series, Abby's Studio Rescue, premiering Tuesday, June 17, at 9pm ET/PT. Each week, the show follows Abby as she dishes her tough love and no-nonsense advice while giving dance studios a second chance to finally bring home the gold.

With seven one-hour episodes, Abby's Studio Rescue sends Abby to studios across the country that are in need of a head-to-toe overhaul of their business before their doors are forced shut forever. A studio owner since 1980, Abby knows running a business can be full of challenges and she is ready to give them the tools they need to take their studios and dancers to the next level. Whether it's fine-tuning choreography, finding the right staff, scheduling classes, tweaking dances, dealing with overbearing moms or even renovating the studio space, Abby's Studio Rescue will help them all raise the bar.

Abby's Studio Rescue is produced by Collins Avenue, with Jeff Collins (Dance Moms, Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition, Fly Girls), Michael Hammond (Dance Moms, Hell's Kitchen), Sandi Johnson (Undercover Boss, Hell's Kitchen, Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition) and Bryan Stinson (Dance Moms, High Society) executive producing along with Heather Schuster (Tabatha Takes Over) and Morocco Junction Entertainment.
