LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Fans of 'Dance Moms: A New Era' were quick to rally around Ashlan Scheide after watching her struggle under the intense pressure from her mother, Lisa Scheide. Many viewers expressed deep sympathy for Ashlan, pointing out how heartbreaking it was to see her constantly put down by her own mother. Despite being a talented dancer, Ashlan seemed to be pushed beyond her limits, leading to frequent mental breakdowns on the show.

Some fans went as far as to criticize Lisa's approach to "encouraging" her daughter, arguing that instead of helping Ashlan succeed, it was only harming her. They felt that Lisa's relentless drive for perfection was having a negative impact on Ashlan's mental health and could potentially damage her love for dance. "Hot tip...if the child is a brat, it's because of the person who created her. That's neurobiology and conditioning," a fan said. "The reason I feel badly for Ashlan is because no one taught that child on ounce of emotional intelligence before they decided to parade her meltdowns across national television," said another. "Idk. Ashlan and her mom’s relationship is weird. Like her mom would try to help her or encourage her and Ashlan would literally have a whole mental breakdown. It could be production with their evil editing but it’s just weird and kinda hard to watch," added another.

Ashlan has always trained under Miss Glo

Ashlan Scheide, a young dancer featured on 'Dance Moms: A New Era,' has always trained under the guidance of her dance instructor, Miss Glo. For the past six years, Ashlan has been honing her skills at her local dance studio with Miss Glo as her mentor.

Miss Glo has played a significant role in Ashlan's development as a dancer, teaching her various styles like jazz, contemporary, and hip-hop.

Lisa Scheide left corporate job for daughter

Lisa Scheide made a major life change by leaving her corporate job to support her daughter Ashlan's passion for dance. Lisa had spent many years working in the corporate world, building a successful career. However, she noticed how much Ashlan loved dancing and realized that her daughter needed more support to pursue her dreams fully.

Inspired by Ashlan's dedication and talent, Lisa decided to step away from her corporate role. She took on the new role of a full-time dance mom, balancing her time between being there for Ashlan at dance competitions and practices, and managing her other responsibilities, including being a soccer mom and a digital advertiser.

This decision was not easy, but Lisa believed that by being more involved in Ashlan's dance journey, she could help her daughter achieve her full potential. Lisa's corporate experience also proved useful in managing Ashlan's dance career, organizing schedules, and handling the demands of competitive dance life.
