Following the season 7 finale of "Dance Moms" in late October, the young dancers have not stopped promoting their activities particularly an upcoming tour.

Three of the talented stars namely Chloe Lukasiak, Kendall Vertes and Kalani Hilliker recently spoke with entertainment columnist Perez Hilton in a recent. They talked about their new dance endeavor called "The Irreplaceables Tour" which will be going on this month across the United States and Vancouver, Canada. Aside from the tour, they also talked about the "Dance Moms" show and what it was like to work with newly-appointed coach Cheryl Burke. "It was a different experience. She was a lot of fun," Vertes told Hilton fondly. Lukasiak added that they got to learn a lot from Burke's dance experience as well.

"She was also super, super sweet and I think she taught us a lot of things that we would have never learned if it wasn't for her coming into our lives," Hilliker expressed with enthusiasm. The "Dancing With the Stars" alum replaced Laurieann Gibson in the second half of season 7 who took over temporarily from former host Abby Lee Miller.

Miller star appeared on the show since season 1 but got into trouble with the law in the following years. In 2016, Miller pleaded guilty to felony bankruptcy fraud and was sentenced back in May to a year and one day in federal prison.

The girls were excited to share about their dance tour which will be the first time they would be performing together apart from the reality show. Hilliker shared, "I think what's really exciting about this tour is we got to choose like what type of music we wanted to use."

"The Irreplaceables Tour" will run from Dec. 5 to Dec. 22. Interested parties can go to this link for information and tickets.
