Last night was the season premiere of Dance Moms and I was not disappointed. When we last saw them, as Maddie (Abby's favorite) forgot her dance at competition and ran off stage. Instead of scream at her like Abby would the other girls, she cried. The moms pounced and Abby left them alone. We start off this season a week later. Abby doesn't acknowledge it at all and continues to begin abusing the children. Here are the highlights:
Maddie
What the heck happened to this little girl? Not even a teenager and having panic attacks like she's about the take the BAR exam. Seriously, everything freaks this girl out. She is constantly crying and scared that Abby will be mad at her. She needs therapy.
The Kids
I really like all the other little girls. They just want to dance. It's not their fault that their mother's are crazy and their dance teacher is even worse. Mackenzie is the cutest little kid. Although her dance choreographer is wildly inappropriate she still looks adorable. Chloe is becoming just as paranoid as Maddie but luckily her mom keeps her slightly grounded.
The Moms
It's almost too much with the yelling, screaming, etc. If this weren't a television show there would be no reason for them to go to this studio. If you hate the teacher so much, why do you stay?! The only thing I will say is that I actually agreed with them when they said the choreography was stale... it kind of was!
Abby
Pardon my french but this bitch is cray. Like she is actually a crazy person. She so clearly favors Maddie it is insulting to the other kids. She is mean and is giving all this kids psychological problems, eat disorders, tendentious, and who knows what else. If I were these mothers I would take my kids and run as far away from her as possible.
This should be an interesting season. I smell a mutiny coming on. Maybe they will all become Candy Apples (gag)!
Did you watch Dance Moms? What did you think?!

Oh, Dance Moms. It strikes SO close to home for me. I danced competitively my whole life (sidebar: my mom was NOT like those moms, she actually tried to get me to quit quite a few times because of all the stress it can cause) and some scenes crack me up just because they have actually happened to me or my teammates. I haven't watched this season yet, though. One of my studio's biggest rivals was just like Abby Lee Dance Company, with a director just like Abby. The dancers go there because their parents care more about having a winning child, not because their children want to dance. There are plenty of other dance studios, but they stay there because it's where they will win, regardless of how miserable it makes their son or daughter. I had a friend at that rival studio who wanted to transfer to mine for years, but her mother wouldn't let her because her chances of winning "would be squashed" and our studio "wasn't prestigious enough." Le sigh...
ReplyDeleteI too did competitions but we were (1) far less talented and (2) far less serious about it. It is always good TV to watch a bunch of crazy people though. I suggest tuning in!
