Brady Farrar, 14

The ALDC is getting a male dancer added to its team this season and it is going to cause some drama among the moms. The teen dancer from Miami, Florida, who prefers ballet and contemporary, will be joined by his mom, Tricia, on the show.

Lilliana Ketchman, 10

If you watched the last season of “Dance Moms,” you’ll recognize Lilly. She and her mother, Stacey, will return for the new season. Still, despite already being an ALDC member in years past, Abby will make her start from scratch this time around. A sneak peek of Season 8 shows her taking away Lilly’s company jacket in front of the newcomers to the team. Being a returning member, Lilly notes in her introduction video that she feels a little pressure this time around.

Hannah Colin, 14

Hannah comes from a performance family in Indiana as her mom, Ann, is a former choreographer and pageant director. Hannah loves lyrical, and in her introduction video for Lifetime, says she finds coach Abby very “strict” but that she “loves” being a member of her team.

GiaNina Paolantonio, 13

GiaNina has her dance teacher mom, Joanne, to thank for teaching her all of her moves. The New Jersey teen has already performed on Broadway and toured with Mariah Carey. Now, she’s learning all about Abby’s “tough love” while dancing with the ALDC.

Kamryn Smith, 8

As one of the youngest members of the new ALDC team, Kamryn calls Abby’s team “really challenging” in her introduction video. Still, the Phoenix native dreams of being a professional dancer like ballerina Misty Copeland. Her mom, Adriana, is joining her as part of Season 8 of “Dance Moms.”

Savannah Kristich, 12

Savannah’s mom, Erin, quit her job as a teacher to help her daughter’s dance dreams come true. The mother-daughter duo is from Las Vegas.

Sarah Georgiana, 12

This Pittsburgh native is looking to get into Abby’s ALDC with help from her mom, Michelle. She is originally from Studio 19 Dance Complex in Pittsburgh, where "Dance Moms" alum Chloe Lukasiak previously competed.

Pressley Hosbach, 12

As the daughter of a studio owner and former professional dancer, Pressley has her work cut out for her if she wants to follow in her mom Ashley’s footsteps. Pressley originates from East Hanover, New Jersey.

“Dance Moms” returns on Monday, June 4, at 9 p.m. EST on Lifetime.
