Together they made up Miller's "Junior Elite Competition Team" and their activities such as rehearsing, competing, and performing were presented on the show.

After the Los Angeles national competition in July 2014 (filmed for an episode aired October 7, 2014), Lukasiak's mother decided that the environment of the TV show along with her own negative relationship with Miller was detrimental to her daughter and they decided to leave ALDC.[5] The finale episode of Season 4 was their last appearance on Dance Moms because of a comment made by Miller about Lukasiak's eye.[6][lower-alpha 1]
