The news comes out of the dance instructor's native Pittsburgh this morning. Miller filed a petition with the court back in 2010 for the reorganization of her dance studio, but allegedly created a secret bank account in order to conceal her income after the filing. Local news station WPXI reports that the indictment alleges Miller hid income totaling $755,000 earned from her reality show, merchandise sales, and dances sessions between 2012 and 2013.
