dance moms

“Dance Moms” is a reality TV show about seven little girls, around the ages of 6 to 9, who dance at Abby Lee Miller’s dance company.  Abby Lee is the owner and choreographer of this competition dance team. Each week the girls learn a new group dance and some of them are given solos, duets, or trios. While the show fallows the girls learning and practicing their dances it also fallows the mothers of the girls and the drama that happened between them, thus the name “dance moms.”

All of the drama stems from one central area, that area is Abby Lee herself. She is very picky about how the girls dance and she isn’t afraid to express it, she shows favoritism to Maddie, one of the girls, because Abby believes she is a more talented dancer then the other girls.  In one of the episodes she gives Maddie and another one of the girls the same dance solo just to show that Maddie could do it better.

This show is what I like to call, my guilty pleasure. The way Abby treats the young dancers and their mothers is just horrible. She nitpicks at everything the girls do, which makes then better dancers but at the same time makes their childhood horrible. When she treats the girls this way it makes me feel bad that I even support her show and Dance Company, but the show it so addicting! Once you start watching you just can’t stop watching.  It doesn’t help that the dances that they do are so beautiful and well performed.
