This was one of my favourite episodes being a former ballet dancer. They arrived at the audition venue with colourful booty shorts and hideous costumes and the moms had to run around last minute to find plain black leotards. Hilarious!!!

[@mollymollie6048]

You weren’t missing anything with Dance Moms…it was basically a show about child abuse, where they danced…and got yelled at a lot, and the girls were regularly in serious emotional distress, and the Mom’s were…a mess…and Abby (the dance instructor) liked to yell at them, criticize the girls and their parents personally far beyond anything that would be a dance correction. I enjoy some trash TV, but this was just too hard for me to take. I feel for those poor girls, and I hope they made enough money from the show to pay for all the psychological therapy they are likely going to need.

[@thecomorbiditycurator8018]

depends on the studio environment you grew up around. the show was realistic and nostalgic for a lot of older dancers, which was appealing in spite of the abuse.

I like these videos, but they’re so short :( Like, I would love if you actually commented on the video, instead of just the reaction itself. What did you think of the judges reaction on young girls? Did you think it was harsh/adequate? What is your take on the heavy makeup for the young girl? Do you like it, or not so much? What is your experience/knowledge on dancers who are not so experienced in ballet, when it comes to getting into ballet schools?

I think the specific clip they used really lacked an ability for her to give an opinion. It was pretty bad looking at the judges’ expression, but none of the girls really did any ballet for her to comment on. Have you watched her video on the Disney Plus Ballet series?? And I highly recommend watching it because it really was good on showcasing different levels of ballet.

[@elizabethhall9334]

I really love when traditionally ballet has a ...respectful...amount of other spices to it. Like that Brooke could get her body to do that is IMPRESSIVE. The best bet for a ballet audition? Nope.

@@pandabbbb in the actual dance competition world, no the moms don’t fight like they did on the show. It’s kind of debatable if the fight on the show were real. There definitely were some that were completely real (Cathy and Abby really did hate each other for awhile) but the moms were required to cause drama or they’d be kicked from the show. Sometimes they’d literally be told that they (moms and kids) couldn’t leave the studio until the moms fought, this is why there are so many random fights about things that seemingly don’t matter. Because they choose a random topic and had a fight about it so their kids could go home and go to sleep.
