25. Abby's wig sends the mums into hysterics
Abby's most outrageous moments
Starting with Abby's most outrageous moments – and this is one fans love.
The girls were practising choreo and Abby's wig couldn't be more distracting.
"Oh my God, she just pulled her hair out," said Jill. "No she did not."
"What is that?" said Jill slightly disgusted as Abby held a piece of hair in her hand.
Abbey began coughing and it sent them absolutely wild.
24. Abby goes speed dating
Next on the list is Abby's speed-dating moment.
"I'm nervous for her," said Jill watching on. "No, I'm nervous for him."
With questions like, "Do you own your own tuxedo?" and "Were you a jock in high school?" to "I've never dated a man of colour" – it sure was laughable!
23. Abby empties her entire purse
Just as hilarious was the moment Abby emptied the entire contents of her handbag on the floor of the studio.
Up close, it was the strangest mix of items we've ever seen.
"I'm looking for silver earrings, earring that I threw in here," Abby explained.
"How does all that stuff fit in your bag?" said Kira with the most confused look on her face.
Dr. Holly was straight up disturbed and is that a err... smeared cookie on the floor?
"That's a new cookie, I just bought that, you can eat that," said Abby.
No thanks.
22. Abby loves her fish and chips
Making the list for one of Abby's top three snack moments is the time she couldn't get enough of her fish and chips.
A new team of mums were trying to have a serious conversation with Abby about "moving on with a new team" and starting again.
"Abby, we have to focus not just on the far future but nationals. We need a plan," one mum demanded.
But Abby only had eyes on her snack.
No, we need to get through today, sweetheart," said Abby inbetween bites.
21. Kenzie gets left behind in Miami
Best moments outside the studio
Moving onto best moments off the dance floor, fans voted for the time Abby took the girls to Miami Beach.
Their homework? To watch 1965 musical Beach Blanket Bingo.
Only Nia watched it and as a punishment, Abby made their girls do 50 push-ups on the beach.
They then let loose and did cartwheels in the ocean and...
As the girls ran back, a young Mackenzie was missing.
"Where's Kenzie?" said Abby.
She was left behind!
"I could have gotten lost at sea," said Kenzie. ADORABLE.
20. Abby gets dunked for charity
One of fans' favourite moments was when Abby was raising money for the Children's Dance Foundation – with a dunk tank.
No surprise here, she got DUNKED. And at $10 a throw, we're sure it was worth it.
Looking back at the day, Kendall's comments were priceless...
"When we dunked Abby, it wasn't just Abby going in the dunk tank... it was a sea creature," said Kendall, giggling.
"A big and powerful sea creature. That's the truth!"
Now go back to the last slide and see that pic again!
19. Kenzie's music video
Best music videos
They may have gotten their start in dancing, but some girls went on to launch music videos. Here are the top music videos from Season 1 to 8.
Mack Z's 'Girl Party' makes the list and we seriously forgot how catch this song is.
Kendall, Nia and Maddie are all in the prom-themed music video, and who would have thought Kenzie would be the singer she is today!
