Dance Moms

I would like to see Abby stop yelling and berating the girls and hating on the moms. I think I dislike the moms fighting as much as I dislike Abby's screaming. I don't remember the show being like this in the first season. Unless this is all really fake and just for the show, I can't see the moms putting up with their kids being treated like this. I don't get where this show is headed. I love to watch the girls dance, otherwise I would quit watching. I would also like to see the full dance instead of the camera showing the moms and whatever during the dance. Even a split screen would be OK, but I would like to see the entire dance.

Dance Moms is a T.V. series about little girls, most of them between the ages of 9 to about 16 who want to dance. This appears to be a pageant show where little kids where makeup which is not acceptable for their ages. And there is way too much drama, conflicts, injuries and crying through out. I do not like watching a bunch of kids going through all this pressure.

What is wrong with these dance instructors? Do they hate kids? If they have such a short fuse with kids, why are they working with a whole bunch of kids? They shouldn't even have jobs for having such intolerance with these dancers. They should have learned about patience before they signed up for this job.

I am from Canada and started at 4 years old doing tap, jazz, and ballet until I 20.

I started with a small company where there was no body image issues or focused on. You could choose competitive, non competitive and with ballet I always had chances to move up grades with demonstrative exams.

I was in the Nutcracker ( I had to compete against a lot of girls throughout my province) and danced it for 6 years straight.

At 14, I was invited on full scholarships to the Royal Winnipeg in Canada too, a major ballet dance company. This school was intense but I was never demeaned or told I wasn't good enough

I left because of injury doing pointe ballet to my knee and retired at 20.

In my experience I have NEVER encountered all the negativity that gets spewed out this show. The adults are appalling and the teacher as well.

There will always be competition in the world of dance, but all my instructors would wear dance apparel and would actually do hands on teaching without pitting students against each other and constantly being yelled at.

Cool your heels lady, you're going break these young girls spirits and eventually they will lose their love of dance!

I had the opportunity to work with professional dancers/teachers for 2 years and they were great. Don't see how this so called teacher can give advise when she can't even perform the steps herself. Total disgrace to the teaching profession.

Never have I watched anyone on TV and just , dislike is not a strong enough word. This fat slug of a woman, who makes such a point of showing her love for her favorites, is just so disgusting. She abuses the children, verbally, emotionally and mentally. Should NOT be allowed on TV. WHY does she put children down so much. Any time that Maddie and Chloe did a duet it placed first. But she still has to humiliate Chloe HER own dancer, by putting her further down each week. Now she has Maddie turning against the other children as well. I am glad Kelly is gone, I wish she could have really hit that mean horrible woman. And I am very overweight, but I am a nice person. Abby has a beautiful face, but she is so ugly inside and gets more so all the time. HATE THIS WOMAN. STOP WATCHING this show!!!!
