Dance Moms

[Chottie]

Is anyone else watching this?

Every week day on EyeTV channel 30*

Those mothers are so pushy!?!

[poppiesanddaisies]

What series? I'm halfway through series 5 x

[fastdaytears]

Clicked on this thinking you'd found a new series. But no.

I hate you like Abbie hates Chloe.

[neonrainbow]

There is a new series its on lifetime on mondays :) i don't know why jill thinks kendall is everyone else's equal. She can only do pretty girl dances. It's lovely to see nia come out of her shell over the last few series. She might not be very good at lyrical as she isnt built for it but shes very. good at character dances.

[PuckyMup]

Addicted to this. Fully agree on all points neon. Also think Jojo is one to watch now too

[fastdaytears]

Aghhh no way! Awesome! My sky box is being crazy and telling me it's series 5 but the descriptions say a mixture of 6 and 7. I'll just watch it!

[fastdaytears]

New theme tune so it's totally new!

[fastdaytears]

Can you imagine getting a Dance Mom on AIBU. I would love Melissa to post,

[bodenbiscuit]

I love Dance Moms! JoJo has really grown on me.

[TheFairyCaravan]

It's my guilty pleasure. I'm a few epsidoes in front because I watch it a couple of days after it's been on in the US through the Internet.

[roundtable]

I'm starting from the first series on 5*. It's interesting when you know what some of the girls like maddie have achieved.

It's always been a programme that I've just dipped in and out of.

[Pacothepidgeon]

Watching the new series and Jill is really doing my head in. Especially the way she treated Brynn.

[roundtable]

I'm watching the episode when Vivianne's mum does a solo at the showcase with the talent scout.

Cringe!

[poppiesanddaisies]

I can never work Abby out - is she mad or what?!

[neonrainbow]

Yeah jill needs someone to give her a talking to the way she spoke to brynn! poor little girl. I like Jojo and Nia the best. I never used to like Nias mum holly but seeing her in the later series and how much she builds Nia up and raising her to be fair and level headed - its lovely.

[bodenbiscuit]

Jill seems to have lost it a bit, I agree. I think she feels threatened by Brynn who obviously has a great deal of potential. Brynn's mother is making things worse though!

[Sparklycat]

I always wonder who actually choreographs the routines...we never see Abbie dancing and tbh she doesn't look like she could dance anyway

[neonrainbow]

I think Gianna does a lot of the choreography and to be honest the dances always seem to be a lot better when Abbys been AWOL!

[Excited101]

I watched one today where Chloe (I think it was) was the lead but they were all in a music video. It was a bit disturbing really! The adults were all having these screaming matches in front of the children, some of them were crying. It must have been quite a while ago though as Maddie looked really young and ever since the Sia videos she's been seen a lot more in the media and looks a lot older.

In one of them there was a Mum who was going a bit nuts in the studio and Abby called the police. They all seemed totally unhinged tbh.

[Excited101]

Oh dear, I think I'm slightly hooked... I'm watching a catch up ep that seems to be just after the music video one.

Abby is having a go at one of the children because her Mum had to work instead of sitting outside the room when they had their class.

I just don't it, is Abby actually a complete cow? Why do they send their children there? It seems like it would be totally unhealthy for the children to have that influence over them.

[Brokenbiscuit]

DD does dance and loves this programme. The adults all seem utterly vile to me - both teacher and parents. I don't understand why they continue to send their kids there, given the amount of moaning that they seem to do!

[NewChristian]

They've all signed a deal with Lifetime which probably isn't easy to get out of. They are all at the point where they hope their child will get some of the success Maddie has had.

Jojo's mum is such a stirrer - she stirred trouble between Ashley and Kira and you can see her smirking and laughing when other people are arguing. The children are lovely - I feel sorry for them tbh.

[Excited101]

Ah yes, that makes sense. I didn't think about contracts but of course there must be.

I also didn't get why they only had 3 days to learn their routines for the competitions, biscuit can you shed any light? Does your daughter dance like in the show and compete etc?

[jay55]

The new dances each week was introduced by the show. Prior to the show they did the normal work on one dance per type and compete it through the season.

[lottielou7]

I don't understand why Abby has put herself in this situation - she seems to have an uncertain grip on reality tbh.
