TheDance Momsstar called the choice “very bittersweet” in an Instagram video uploaded on Wednesday. “I sold my property. I didn’t sell my name. I didn’t sell my brand. I didn’t sell my life’s work,” Miller said. “I sold brick, mortar, cinder blocks and an amazing dance floor that is still in mint condition. One of the best floors that I ever stood on.”

Miller, 57, continued to explain why the career decision just makes sense for her life now. “But, I’m not standing right now. And I’m not in Pittsburgh teaching,” she continued. “I’m all over the world teaching. It was time, yes. And I’m very, very proud to say that my studio, my building — the property that my parents gave me their life savings to buy — is going to a very great business.

However, the studio is going to be turned into a daycare center. “There will still be children,” Miller concluded. “It will still be happy. It will be fun. It will be a wonderful place for the community, and I could not be prouder.”
