Top Ten Reasons Why Dance Moms Is a Horrible Show

I'm glad that Holly, Jill and Kira made the right decisions leaving the ALDC because of how much damaged and abuse that Abby has forced on their kids through the years. Thanks to Abby, Kendall is super insecure and always has these anxiety attacks and people just think she's some kind of brat when she isn't. Not only that, but Paige was literally scared to death of Abby and Abby literally tried to blame it on Kelly because of course being Ms. Holier Than Thou Abby decides that she is never wrong when she knows she is. And don't even get me started on what she did to Chloe and Christi. I'm glad they came back afterwards

All Abby ever does is scream at people and expect them not to cry. I mean, I get it. She's trying to teach the girls to dance. But seriously, they are literally kids! She probably didn't like getting yelled at either as a little kid, so quit teaching people about how to act mature! Besides, Abby isn't even mature herself. Pretty much in every single episode, she has these outbursts out of literally nothing. And she constantly blames everything on the moms, when it's not even their faults. Maybe that's why there is always an excessive amount of drama and arguing, which is one reason why most people, including myself do not like that show.

Abby tried to say it was scripted. But currently most of her dancers wont speak to her or give her any credit for their success. She mentally and emotionally abused the girls. She sent Paige and Chloe to Europe to train with a known pedofile choreographer. That man is in prison now.

I wonder how these girls learn how to dance if this overweight woman is screaming at them...

Maddie can't handle not winning or having a chance to do something for once. I hate people who have something that no one else has, but they think that every good thing can go to them. That's the definition of an egotistical brat and that's where Maddie is.
Let me explain a few examples. Once, Chloe got a scholarship for...something, I forget and everyone was happy for her and guess who decides to start acting like a BRAT? That's right, Maddie. She immediately started getting mad because she thought that SHE deserves it and not Chloe. Even her own Mom thinks she's being a brat. Maddie thinks everything has to go HER way and go perfect.
Another example is where they were playing this watermelon game and Maddie went out of the pool pretending to be seriously injured and began crying. Oh, suck it up you big faker! We all know why she was crying. She was crying because SHE didn't win the game. She's such a sore LOSER!
And then there's Abby. I honestly HATE Abby Lee Miller, like, ...more

I wonder how the other girls feel that Abby is always pampering and favouring Maddie. I like Maddie (not from Dance moms but Sia's videos)

Maddie wont even speak or give Abby any credit know. Obviously hates her.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Chloe and Paige said they loved the revealing costumes. Its sad that a few people choose to sexualize a pretty young girl. The problem is in the viewers mind, not what the girl is wearing.

This show is absolute rubbish. Nobody is respectful. Nobody is a good roll model.
How utterly common,.shameful and embarrassing the adults behavior is.
What those poor dancers have to endure!
Beautiful dancing but the behavior lets it down entirely.

Where have all the children gone and a few others were to creepy. Dance should be for fun, not an editorial about sick crimes.

There was one dance that was about texting and driving, and the dancers couldn't have been more than ten years old...

Just about every single episode features Abby being mean to the girls, the mothers arguing with one another and with Abby and some sort of thing that goes wrong during rehearsals and competitions.

If everything and every person was nice no one would watch it. It would of been kind of boring.

Way too much drama between the mothers. I'm sick of it. It's like the main theme for these mothers are leave, leave, leave, leave, what the actual hell...

Let me give some examples about all those drama queens:

E.g #1 Melissa (Maddie and McKenzie's mom):

She overreacted over nothing about some stupid drama with the moms. Like, all they did was ask why she was not wearing her wedding ring, and she just storms out and leaves the ALDC studio and Maddie starts crying because she doesn't want to leave. Then Abby fires at the girls like it's their faults that Maddie's mom stormed out.

E.g #2 Kira (Kalani's mom):

Abby knows she's wrong sometimes. But then she starts crying, for real?! She thinks she is always right, no one can tell her anything. In the meantime, she has all the support from all the girls, then proceeds to send away Jojo, Kalani and Nia even though they support her too. So Kira gets mad at her for making her child look bad and they go into ...more

Jojo is so annoying

Seriously everyone is rude especially JoJo. They all think they're so great. They aren't. The ones who aren't are Kenzie and Kalani. I like Maddie but even she is rude.

I hope with age Maddie and Mackenzie go on a show like Dr Phil and they expose what Melissa really did to her daughters. I think it's a form or pimping her daughters for fame and cash. I hope they don't end up like Lindsay Lohan, Amanda Bynes.

In one episode when Maddie was feeling sick while dancing, Melissa scolded her for crying and pressured her to keep dancing instead of taking her home to rest.

In one episode when Maddie was not feeling well while dancing, Melissa scolds her for crying and pressures her to keep dancing instead of taking her home.

The girls are so competitive instead of having fun.
