00:00 Okay, I hate to break it to you guys, but I just don't want a false narrative out there.

00:06 Nia Su is not interested in rehashing her days at Abby Lee Miller's dance studio.

00:12 That's why the Dance Moms alum did not join her former co-stars JoJo Brooke, Paige, Kehlani,

00:18 Kendall and Khloe in the new Lifetime documentary special Dance Moms The Reunion.

00:24 Nia explains in an April 30th video on TikTok.

00:27 Okay, I hate to break it to you guys, but the reason is quite simple.

00:35 I just really didn't want to do it.

00:37 Yeah, it's pretty plain and simple.

00:39 I just didn't want to do it.

00:42 Some people think it was because I had sorority stuff.

00:44 Nope, I didn't.

00:46 Some people think it's because I'm in school.

00:49 I am in school, but it wouldn't have been an issue.

00:51 I just don't want to do it.

00:54 And that's a good enough answer and that's a good enough reason.

00:58 While Nia decided not to participate in the reunion, she still appreciates how much the

01:03 reality show changed her life's trajectory.

01:06 Any interview I've done, when someone has asked me about the show, I always say that

01:10 I'm grateful for it.

01:11 It's where I came from.

01:12 It's how I got my stars.

01:13 The reason why I have such an amazing life now.

01:17 Truly, I love my life.

01:19 I have a fabulous life and I'm truly enjoying it.

01:24 She also sets the record straight on where she stands with her fellow dancers these days.

01:29 I love the girls and I'm really happy for them.

01:33 I'm really happy that they get to share how they felt or their experiences.

01:39 But that's just something that I decided I didn't want to do.

01:42 And that's okay.

01:44 Her Dance Moms co-stars shared the same sentiment in an exclusive interview with E! News when

01:49 asked about the other girls who opted to skip the reunion.

01:53 I just feel like there were so many mixed emotions going into it.

01:56 I know you said you were automatically a yes, but I feel like for people from the original

02:00 team, we went through so much.

02:02 So it definitely took a little bit for me to process if I wanted to do it or not.

02:07 So I understand why not everyone wanted to because it's hard getting back into it and

02:11 dealing with this stuff.

02:12 I think I was really hesitant at first.

02:14 I was like, I don't even know if I'm ready for this.

02:17 And then honestly, I really reflected and I thought it's a really good way to say, to

02:20 close that chapter of my life and give my appreciation, show my gratitude to it, reminisce.

02:25 I mean, these are my closest friends.

02:28 Like we're sisters.

02:29 It's like an extended family.

02:30 And I just wanted to have that moment all together.

02:32 And now I just graduated.

02:34 We had that moment and now I'm like, okay, it's a new adventure.

02:36 So, you know, I think for all of us, I mean, I don't want to speak for everyone, but it

02:40 feels like a good, yeah, good closure.

02:41 It was very therapeutic.

02:42 Like, yeah, we cried like every segment.

02:43 Yeah.

02:44 There's a lot of tears, but also a lot of laughter.

02:45 Yeah, no, I think it was really fun for all of us to get back together and I feel like

02:53 it made us even closer now than we were before.

02:58 And I think of course we would love to have everybody there, but everybody makes their

03:02 own decision.

03:03 And, you know, I'm happy that we chose ourselves that we wanted to be there and, you know,

03:07 everybody can make their own choice and we chose to be here and there's nothing wrong

03:10 either way.

03:11 Yeah.

03:11 [inaudible].
