Show Notes
This week on Leave It On The Dance Floor, Abby sits down with longtime friend and industry icon Gary Pate, founder of Starpower and the Star Dance Alliance. Long before Dance Moms, Gary knew Abby as a fierce competitor and respected studio owner. Together, they stroll down memory lane, talk behind-the-scenes of dealing with the show’s producers, and how the spotlight helped Gary launch even more successful competitions. It’s an unfiltered look at the business behind the sequins—don’t miss it!
