Gloria \u201cMiss Glo\u201d Hampton<\/strong> is the new dance coach in town. Following in the footsteps of Abby Lee Miller<\/b><\/a>, Glo is leading a whole new group of dancers on Hulu\u2019s reboot <\/span>Dance Moms: A New Era<\/span><\/i><\/a>. In light of the new show, fans are likely wondering who Glo is, what her dance experience is and if she has a relationship with Abby.<\/p>\n Glo has a long history in the dance world, and she currently leads the Bleu Junior Elites from Studio Bleu in Ashburn, Virginia. Over the course of her career, she has helped guide students to dance professionally on Broadway, in music videos, on tours and in movies.<\/p>\n Additionally, Glo has served as a national judge for Dance One.<\/p>\n The reality star opened up about her love of dance<\/a> during an exclusive video interview with Life & Style<\/em> in August 2024.<\/p>\n \u201cI actually wanted to be a gymnast,\u201d she recalled about her first introduction to the dance world. \u201cMy mom signed me up at a local gym, or it was a local dance studio that offered tumbling.\u201d<\/p>\n She said that the studio taught \u201ca combination of gymnastics and jazz,\u201d which led to her initial interest in dancing. \u201cMy sister\u2019s danced for maybe a year. They wanted nothing to do with it,\u201d Glo added. \u201cSo I was like, \u2018Sure, I\u2019ll sign up for that.\u2019 And then I just fell in love with the dance side of it. I did compete gymnastics through high school, but I really just fell in love with dance.\u201d<\/p>\n As for her favorite types of dance, Glo said she\u2019s a fan of lyrical. \u201cLyrical is like a combination of, kind of, ballet and jazz and contemporary, so it\u2019s very technically based \u2026 That\u2019s where my heart lays,\u201d she shared. \u201cI also love musical theater. So completely opposite ends of the spectrum, but those are, I think, my two favorites.\u201d<\/p>\n Glo revealed in the premiere episode of Dance Moms: A New Era<\/em> that she and Abby were once friends, and she further discussed their friendship<\/a> while exclusively speaking to Life & Style.<\/p>\n \u201cWe actually became friends through the original show. My daughter and I made a couple of appearances,\u201d she said about meeting Abby on the original Lifetime show when she appeared on seasons 3 and 4 alongside her daughter, Kaeli Ware.<\/strong> \u201cWe go back a long way in the dance world, so we kind of bonded over that and became very good friends.\u201d<\/p>\n While Abby did \u201ccongratulate\u201d Glo when she booked the new show, she admitted that their dynamic seemed to change once filming began. \u201cI did reach out to her at some point during filming to come join the team and visit us<\/a>,\u201d Glo revealed. \u201cShe wasn\u2019t really receptive and I think, like, her demeanor changed a little bit through the text messages that I got.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt was pretty clear that she just maybe wasn\u2019t as supportive as I expected her to be,\u201d she continued, adding that she and Abby \u201chaven\u2019t talked since.\u201d However, she seemed open to reconnecting with Abby and said she hoped they could \u201cchat again and that she would support the show\u201d because \u201cshe was a big part of making it what it is.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nWho Is Dance Moms: A New Era\u2019s Miss Glo?<\/h2>\n
