[@anamunhoz2272]

the thing about nia’s solo is she doesn’t get many solos, but when she does they are VERY stereotypical or have bad choreography (or both)

[@jadacaddy2321]

Thank you for saying this! Nia probably got arguably some of THE WORST choreography on the whole show throughout all the seasons. The only one I liked was laquifa, and that's pretty much for the opposite reasons that the dance was given to her in the first place. But her turning what Abby intended to be complete joke and probably wanting to humiliate Nia, surprisingly turns into something unique and different and to actually be proud of. Kinda brought her out of her shell and gave us a chance to see more of her personality. THE SASS she gives is just so freaking adorable and awesome to watch. It was so nice seeing her feel so good about herself and getting so much praise from everyone, especially the audience. She gained so much confidence from Laquifa😊 Thank you Shangela for inspiring Nia 💕

[@justlive2809]

exactly thank you and Nia was also very good when Abby didn't focused on her that much so imagine if Abby spend the time she put on Maddie on teaching Nia...

[@hl3944]

YESSSS THANK YOU.

[@PGOuma]

That one solo before Working Girl where she was basically walking around on stage 😭😭😭😭 Like nahhhhh

[@Hi.Im.Lovely]

Please don’t kill me y’all .. while I agree with almost everything y’all are saying .. she was given crappy choreography and she was typecasted everytime BUT I feel like we’re old enough to admit that nia did not dance at the level of the other girls .. that doesn’t mean she can’t dance or didn’t improve , I think by season 4 she improved immensely and by season 5 she was on fire but around this time technically nia just wasn’t there and that’s okay but can’t just ignore it like it isn’t true .

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Brad is hopped up on this show and I guess we’re all complicit in recommending he watches more episodes.

[@LorraineVirginie]

It’s not literally just kids dancing though and that’s why it gets you fired up. It’s adults disregarding the emotional development of real living children to make dramatic television. It’s really really heartbreaking.

[@honeybee62778]

love the way you keep it realistic especially with abby, because of course she didn’t treat them well in general but her basic beliefs were absolutely professional. most reactors overdramatize abby’s moments, but especially here in season 1, she really was just a dance teacher trying to do her best. she wasn’t really classic “abby lee miller” yet.

[@prettypatrece]

No, she wasn’t. Abby and Melissa were in cahoots since day one to make Maddie the star.

[@TheMimiandbb]

As an ex-dancer, first season Abby reminds me a lot of my old creative director. I actually think the critiques she gives are super valid and delivered like most dance teachers would give them. Obviously, as the show goes on she gets worse, but first season Abby is absolutely just. A dance teacher tired of these moms who impede her.

[@honeybee62778]

@@TheMimiandbb exactlyyy i’ve had many people like this in my life, mainly sports coaches. there’s a difference between critique and criticism, and abby only crosses that line after the first season, and you can REALLY see the descent in the second season.

[@pennalopievalentine6604]

@@honeybee62778 I see what you guys mean and I definitely don’t have that experience so I can’t say you are wrong in your feelings how ever I do feel that even in the first season she was no longer a dance teacher bc she made decisions based on the show, and she chose to continue it bc it was making her money, she didn’t agree with the producers all the time but most of the time she allowed the kids to be treated like shit for tv. And I also think that from the very beginning she is very dehumanizing towards Nia. And although more of her disdain for Chloe is shown later you can see in this episode how she can’t separate parents from kids and that badly affects her teaching in my opinion. Also just to kinda validate/ talk about y’all’s experiences I did have a lot of friends in musical theatre and they told me about similar experiences which I also didn’t agree with. I get that it makes better dancers but bc there are dancers out there that are incredible and don’t get treated like shit I feel like that proves you can have amazing dancers/ players and genuinely care about them/teach them with critiques that don’t insult their very being. I really love seeing Abby with Chloe when she is in a good mood but most of the time she straight up bullies that kid.

it’s the way you and holly were both on the same level when it came to botox😭😭

[@nobodyasked-ash]

For the sake of the TV show they could only enter a certain number of groups or solos etc, but in real dance competitions (of this nature) you can enter as many dances as you're willing to pay for.... Some studios/teams will have every member do a solo and some will have one group dance in each genre etc etc, just depends on the group and the money. Dance Competition curcuits for school teams can be different though due to state rules/comp rules. And I'm sure in other niche dance circuit types like ballroom, clogging, or riverdance they may have different rules too about how many dances. The absolute biggest gag of the show is them having different dances each comp & STILL going to nationals with new dances, because in most comps in order to qualify for nationals you have to compete the dance at a regionals of one of the same comps (starpower for example - you would do the dance at their regionals to go to their nationals, you can't just go to nationals) 😂😂

[@gcldvnblytz]

The producers were rly tryna shove unnecessary drama between Maddie and Chloe down our throats

[@lesleykaychoreography2918]

I love you and this new Dance Moms Series!! Special request: Please do not cover Season 2 Ep 2, the producers purposely registered Cathy’s dancer in the wrong age category (to create drama) and that poor girl was bullied, called a cheat, for years following. I took my dancers to a comp she attended and I witnessed cruel kids calling her a cheat (not my students, I’d never allow that ish!!) The same thing happened to Kaylee Quinn in Sesson 6 Ep 11. This girl was a dance prodigy! The producers did her so dirty she ended up studio hoping for a bit, then ultimately quitting 💔 If you do cover these episodes maybe you can “out” the production’s manipulation and make things right once and for all lol 😉👊🏽 Anywho….love your channel!

[@joshuaharper2624]

Have you seen dance mom's uncovered? It's a deep dive into all the producer manipulation and what actually happened!

[@juliannerose2989]

You cheering on Brooke’s contortion and your commentary on Where Have All The Children Gone? made me laughhh so hard. Very relatable!!! I loved this second vid even more than the first episode you didn’t! You’re hilarious and I love hearing your perspective from your experience & knowledge as a dancer. PS thank you for acknowledging Abby as the queen of costume jewelry. Hahaha! I swear it’s always one of the best (funniest) elements of her outfits and people overlook the ‘glamorous’ jewelry. Love your energy and editing! You’re doing amazing sweetie 📸

[@sophiaec2607]

YES! the last text!

[@2nicnag2]

A varsity football starter forgot his cleats for an away game 2.5 hours away, my son was just a freshman but had the potential to play that night if the team got ahead. He willingly gave up his cleats and even when the assistant coach noticed our son had on just a regular pair of tennis shoes he never ratted out his teammate. While teammates compete against each other for starting spots, they also believe in playing like a team. It seems like in dance (or at leas on this show) that it’s all about their daughter winning the solo event NO MATTER THE COST. I get wanting to win but to try to sabotage someone else’s kid, talk bad about them, etc goes way beyond competitiveness, it’s poor sportsmanship

[@jessm.porthos]

Love your reaction to this. You’re giving positive non-toxic dance mom vibes

[@voilboil]

Im so obsessed with these dance moms reactions!!

[@AnaFox]

The parents act like children, while the actual children show much more maturity and compassion. I hate the unnecessary pitying against one another. I love how you expose the actual results and give more context behind the dances (what’s best for competition and so on).

[@laurenroupe2321]

Watching the second episode and knowing that Maddie and Mackenzie’s father was basically not present in their lives/slightly neglectful during their childhood is just so sad. Like no wonder Maddie was listening in on the conversation and didn’t want to speak to her dad or let Mackenzie near him. It’s sad to know how quick both of them had to grow up, but especially Maddie due to being a mother figure to Mackenzie, being Abby’s star which required her to dance like an adult and be perfect, while also being a good respectful daughter to Melissa. The group dance for nationals was gorgeous though and I wish they had more uplifting dances like that as they matured into young ladies.

Maddie and chloe usually competed in different age groups since they are 2 years apart, or almost 2 years apart. But the show always mede it look different

[@lookitsrae90]

Fun fact, the Ziegler‘s dad and Abby went to high school together. They’re like a year apart so when they wanted to put the girls in a dance, he is the one who suggested that they bring the girls to Abby’s studio. then by the end of season one he wants them out of there.

[@Xoxoluvconnie]

38:25 daughter not daughters is so sad like that is not fair 😢

[@tiamarrow6366]

So interesting fact, on Abby’s KZbin channel a few years ago both she and Gianna admitted in a video that most of the dances throughout the show especially in the early seasons were thought of by the producers. The producers who had no history or backgrounds in dance basically had most of the control and came up with most of the dances. Who would get to dance, who would be in a group dance/who would get a solo and the best solos/who would be in a trio, the style of the dances, who got the best costumes, the music. Abby and Gianna were just made to look like they were the ones teaching the dances completely but they weren’t.

Not sure if many people know this but one of the spin off talk about how Nia was paralyzed and/ or couldn’t walk when she was younger. So Holly is upset about the ‘brick wall’ statement because Abby knows her feet sometimes don’t respond as fast.

[@TheWholeEntireCake]

Yeah, it’s a Reflex Neurovascular Dystrophy but it’s now called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. It’s also referred to as the “Suicide Disease” because many who suffer from it end up taking their own life as a result of the chronic unrelenting pain it causes. It’s the worst ailment.
