Abby Lee Miller, who runs a Pittsburgh dance studio, is known for her tirades and tough training as her Dance Company's choreographer.

Born in Pennsylvania in 1966, Abby Lee Miller inherited a love of dance from her mom; she took classes at her mother's studio since childhood. Miller started her own company at 14 and by 1980 had her own studio. She is holding open auditions and holding her breath for her first competitive team.

Abby is 5'8", a little overweight, and harsh. She had shoulder-length brown hair and blue eyes, with tan skin. She is harsh on her students, and treats them as if they were her own. She can yell and scream, but at the end of the week, she usually shows the kids her love for them.
