Abby Says Pressley Has BAD FEET & LEGS | Dance Moms | Season 8, Episode 13

[@ashleyyp.3476]

Bad feet doesn’t mean you have ugly feet... its a technical term in dance meaning she needs to do more work on the flexibility and pointing and direction of her feet!

[@yonisgabyow4309]

Yh ur right

[@tokkodance9022]

Ashley Plascencia it’s like volleyball, if u have bad hands they’re not ugly ur just a below average setter :)

[@maccifyme]

Yeah, I don't know anything about Pressleys mom but I guess she doesn't have any dance experience what so ever? So she doesn't understand the (very basic) terms and thinks Abby is saying her kid has ugly legs and feet?

[@sweetreny1155]

Well in Abby's mind in means she has ugly feet and her legs are not skinny enough she did the same thing to Nia.

[@akemarc6218]

True

[@phatnat3599]

i think ashley and presley are confused. abby isnt saying that presley’s legs are “ugly” she’s saying it within a dance context in which her legs and feet will look better with that costume

[@pastelpomeranian7550]

phat nat agreed

[@yellow8061]

Well abby has once called pressleys legs fat? Which I think triggered the situation more.

[@sofiaherrera8506]

She did say that her legs were ugly and needed to be covered

[@Vasilia4]

*READ BETWEEN THE LINES PEOPLE! Abby is well-known to be a body shamer. She is always praising skinny and small girls. She also thought Nia and Kalani were too fat. I have no doubt Abby is trying to cover Pressley up.*

[@dazzleberryaldc1461]

Василия -x- Vasilia Correct, But in this case, she needed better technique

[@jonahpinksen1239]

I actually really liked the original costume, Presley had. It looked really pretty and flowed so nicely when she turned

[@Chuchutrain806]

It’s not about her body... Jesus in dancing you need to have fluidity and lightness in your legs and feet to make steps look effortless. She has a heavy step and therefore the dancing looks forced. I know exactly what Abby is saying.

[@08reference]

Exactly! Abby is only doing her job.

[@ItsyClover]

Finallyyyyyyy

[@sweetreny1155]

In Abby's mind it is about her body in my opinion.

[@dontthey.]

Whoever I'm Not the whole show is just a big festival of Abby degrading her students tho 😂

[@kaiagrey6851]

Abby saying Presley has bad feet and legs isn’t body shaming all she needs to do to fix it is to work on her flexibility more

[@08reference]

No it isn't!! She said that pressley has bad feet and legs when she dances!! It is a common thing when people dance. Abby is NOT body shaming.

[@onix731992]

Brighton ! When you are short and a dancer you wear certain things to make you give the illusion of having long legs the dress Presley had before Ashley changed it would have made her torso longer her skirt would have exaggerating her leaps turns, Ariel’s and al second making it look like her legs were longer pointed feet and flexibility can be corrected or exaggerated to look like the person is not flexible

[@Vasilia4]

*READ BETWEEN THE LINES PEOPLE! Abby is well-known to be a body shamer. She is always praising skinny and small girls. She also thought Nia and Kalani were too fat. I have no doubt Abby is trying to cover Pressley up.*

[@onix731992]

Василия -x- Vasilia omg ITS NOT ABOUT COVERING PRESLEY. If you were a dancer you would understand what Abby was trying to do Presley is a little bit short the purple full length dress would have made her look taller her kicks leaps Ariel’s and turns would have been more exaggerated it would have made the routine flow more seamlessly Abby wanted to SHOW OFF Presley legs and her turns and her leaps. It had nothing to do with body shaming it has everything to do with Ashley and Presley taking criticism and corrections and making it seem more then they are

[@seinechin9328]

I don’t think you know how hard it is to fix your feet and legs the god gave you

[@DavidRagan3134]

I'm with Abby on this one. She wasn't body-shaming Pressley. She wants to make her look the best on stage. Hopefully, Ashley figures that out because it gets ugly when you started going against Abby, a la Kelly changing Paige's dances or Jill picking a costume Kendall wore before.

[@CeltycSparrow]

I agree. She wasn't calling her ugly. She was saying dance-wise, her feet and legs weren't perfect in the moves and the skirt would have helped that.

[@celebrity_rooster7488]

That's literally teaching people how to be fake on stage when you're at your best. In which, Ashley is literally encouraging Pressley to put true self out there. Ever wonder why so many people lose friends through business? Cause they fake.

[@mrcoolguy2882]

yea i just think the way she said it came out wrong.

[@paulina959]

Last time I was this early Maddie and Abby had their first kiss on the same day

[@LU-qr3kh]

Yay! Twins! I love Cristi

[@annahijasso9097]

Hahahaahahaha twinssss Damn I miss Christie

[@merimeow7183]

Yay!!! Twins!! Lloool

[@lessie5562]

That’s kinda Sweet! Twins!

[@teatime9141]

Christi is a QUEEN

[@klyzzle]

So Joanne can say that she doesn’t want her child dancing in slippers and get her child’s solo pulled but Ashley can fully change her child’s costume and she can still dance. I get she’s a permanent member of the team but still

[@taricmiles3645]

riiiiiight

[@leena75]

As a permanent team member she shouldn't act like that. FAVORITISM

[@midnightreindeer936]

Abby has been dealing with alot around that time. Once she isn't so focused on her friend in the hospital, Abby will be able to focus more on the mommies who like to play dance teachers. I would be seriously terrified if I were Ashlee and I pulled this stunt and encuraged my kid to say that Abby is wrong about her technique and feet instead of just letting my child put the work in to better herself. If this is Abby when she's keeping it together because her friend is still alive and Ashlee thinks Abby is being mean to Pressley now; I can only imagine how things would go for Pressley (because of her mother's unneeded costumr change) if anything worse happens for Abby's friend or things go south. Not wishing anything bad on Abby's friend and hoping Abby's friend will be okay; but the fact that Ashlee thinks that this okay and can be so cocky towards Abby about it just speaks on how little she knows about Abby Lee or even who Abby Lee Miller is.

[@eiry.thomas]

They just think they're safe now they got the jacket, and they can do anything they want from now on

[@beverlyadams3656]

Right

[@ryanjstannard]

But like why was Sarah/Michelle nearly kicked off the team for doing basically nothing, but Ashley/Pressley stir up utter chaos and Abby is fine with it.

[@dulcebermudez214]

Ryan Stannard i think that Michelle reminds Abby of Kelly and Sarah reminds Abby of Chloe . And because they are from Pittsburgh and used to dance at studio 19 the same studio Chloe went to when she left the ALDC

[@liyah5726]

I hate to be this person but I also think Abby is biased towards tiny blonde girls. Sarah is blond yes, but she’s taller and isn’t the doe, light eyed girl that has the cute factor. Same why she prefers Lily too.

[@Taystee]

@@liyah5726 if that's what she likes, then why did she like Maddie so much 😊

[@kittyjewel7431]

I think it's because pressley already has a jacket and that signifies that she will stay permanently.Not to be offensive I dont really know if giving her a jacket was the best choice. Her mom fight a lot and thats one of the main reasons why the dancers cant get the jacket but I feel like Abby disregarded it and now look at what's going on. When pressley and gia was competing for the jacket i chose gia. I know that gianinas mom can be crazy but she kinda stopped once Abby told her off. Also Gianina has kinda changed as well like she always thinks about others and supports them now and of course she is also a great dancer so when pressley got the jacket i was surprised. This is just my opinion. I think pressley is great but her mom can be super crazy at times and i also think that they dont really know what the difference is between body shaming and covering the things that are not your strength.

[@kittyjewel7431]

I dont really know if Abby knows that there are so many gifts that were sent to the studio and that the moms were just saying that she should stop studio 19 before it gets worse. I totally agree with the moms because it is destroying the team. I think the reason why she's letting sarah and michelle stay is because she doesn't actually know what's going on.

[@Typicaljadeee._.]

So Ashley didn’t like the costume, SO IN HER MIND, she decides to change the costume. I mean it’s a pretty costume don’t get me wrong but if Abby gave her that costume to cover her legs and feet and she was trying to focus on her positive aspects then her negative and who knows she could win but YOU DONT CHANGE THE COSTUME

[@ivanasusnjevic5162]

I think the custom that she get from Abby it was beautiful, it was a long dress and when she turns it looks so amazing and she just change it like costume was good. What about other people in the last seasons they have like a worst costumes and they still dancing in costume that they get. Like Hannah costume i bad looking and so what. Take what you get!

[@hanhnhu4653]

And she band Gia from dancing her solo bc she refused to wear the unicorn flip flops to the stage, while Press has a gorgeous costume and changed it without any permission and still gotta perform

[@ilovefinn924]

The purple costume looked good. The one she’s wearing now is not.

[@sweetreny1155]

In my opinion I didn't like the purple costume either. I like that one better.

[@onix731992]

Omg ITS NOT ABOUT COVERING YOUR KID UP if Presley would have worn the other outfit it would have made her taller it would have made her kicks flow her turns would have been elegant almost mature but not the outfit doesn’t match the dance

[@awiley7673]

Onyx lila OMl THANK YOU 🙄. Ashley gets on my nerves sometimes.

[@onix731992]

A Wiley this is coming from a former dancer, dance teacher and current dance mom that outfit ruins the dance if Presley would have worn the other dress she would have been first place over all no doubt about it and what makes me laugh is they said Presley kept tripping on her dress it was too long to me that’s an easy fix hem the damn dress. I feel like Ashley is making her daughter self conscious by saying some of the thins she says.

[@awiley7673]

Onyx lila Yes they are making it into what it doesn’t have to be. Ashley is being over dramatic. Especially the first move before the music started it would’ve looked beautiful and so would her turns.

[@onix731992]

A Wiley her front Ariel and laseconds would have looked amazing it would have been a mature piece that Abby wanted it to be that dangling fabric kept getting caught in between her legs and it looked like a towel strapped to the poor girls hip something like that has to done with contemporary dance or a acro not this dance. Ashley is making it seem like Abby is setting her kid up for failure with its in fact Ashley setting her own kid up to fail

[@awiley7673]

Onyx lila I’m glad we understand each other 😊

[@claudettelol]

for the first time abby is actually right, the dress had absolutely nothing to do with her body but it had everything to do with the dance. the dance and the original dress made the dance flow better and she look majestic

[@vanessa-xm2fe]

am i the only one who literally hates Ashley’s guts? she’s humorous and all but seriously this is ridiculous that she wants to change the costume because she doesn’t like it. She’s also extremely rude to all the moms and kids. Ever since Pressley got the jacket, Ashley thinks her kid is the best out of the team

Ok just saying that if Gianina pulled another costume and said she didn't like the one she was given, said that she and x were the best dancers on the team and called the other Duo "the losing duo", and tried to take away someone else's duet, people would be all over her.

[@daria5846]

Part of competition dance is accepting your body and making strategic costume decisions. I’m thin but have a long torso and short legs, they always put me in high cut leotards to make my legs look longer. I always felt more confident and positive that way.

Abby KNOWS what she's doing! I mean, don't you think from 30 years of choreographing dances she would know which costumes match a dance and the dancer(s)? This whole costume doesn't have anything to do with body-shaming Pressley! She said that she had picked out the costume because it fits how the dance is and the dancers

[@sarahgood2020]

am i the only one that died at 1:31😂

[@amanda.._..]

you guys do realize that when abby says she has to cover her up its becasue when your a dancer and have short legs your lines dont look as clean and abby is saying bad feet becasue she wants her to improve her flexibility in the feet(a better point)

[@jaxxirii]

Abby is not body shaming pressley, she is giving corrections and they are not accepting it. She is letting her know that her flexibility is not at a high level; that her legs and feet aren't at a high level. Take the corrections and do what the instructors has told you to do because later on it can come to bite you in the ass

[@anikakls4702]

I think we all know Ashley’s decision wasn’t right, it’s not okay to change costume without permission. But you gotta keep in mind that Ashley is probably worried Pressley will interpret Abby’s critiques wrong and start hating her body. I think that’s just something every mother wants to avoid, so I kinda understand both sides here.

[@Tay_Tay1611]

Presley is probably one of the most well spoken dancers in the team. I kind of see both sides to this as you and others need to accept your body but Abby is just trying to encourage her a bit to try and work on these things like o do dance and my teacher tries to encourage us to improve our flexibility etc

[@simiiya4872]

[@arizonarangershat3831]

She isn’t saying anything negative about her body. She’s pointing out something from a technical standpoint. Saying that someone isn’t in the correct position or isn’t doing something with their body correctly, isn’t body shaming.

[@khadijahmuhammad4771]

I think Abby should just clarify that it's not about her body. She's not calling her ugly per se. She's saying her technique needs work. Abby used to say Chloe has naturally good legs and Maddie didn't have naturally good legs. Maddie improved her technique and worked hard though.

The AUDACITY of Ashley and Pressley to do this, ESPECIALLY just after getting an ALDC jacket.
