Does anyone else see this awful family? They make my skin crawl. Desperate parents exploiting their three kids by dancing and always on holiday. Awful. Those poor kids.

They’re only so successful because people like you watch them.

I don’t have strong opinions on instagram families generally - if they can make money posting a few photos/videos online then fair play.

But this family (who I’ve just looked up, never heard of them before this thread) appear to be terrible at what they purport to be talented in, i.e. they seem to be terrible dancers? Am I missing something?!

They come up on my feed a lot - I thought they were quite good dancers. Well, I'd say Dads great, Mums good and the kids are how you'd expect kids to dance? Kids not old enough to understand the implications of being all over social media though.
They are definitely due some school fines for having so many holidays 😂

if People watch them and interact then they’ll keep doing it. I’ve never seen them so can’t comment

Seem pretty harmless… I’ve seen much worse

MyLuckyPeachOtter · 30/08/2026 22:21

I don’t think I’ve seen them before but I hate, HATE influencer families. Children should not be on social media.

They own a dance school. I’m guessing most of their “holidays” are gifted and they get shitloads for advertising on Instagram. Kids seem to love it and I’m guessing they’re home schooled as they always seem to be away.

btw don’t feel sorry for them they have 1.3m followers. James has worked with some very big names, includingTaylor Swift Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Janet Jackson, One Direction. He has also
worked on The X Factor and Britain’s Got Talent. What I’m trying to say is don’t feel sorry for them it’s a business and I genuinely think the kids enjoy it

Your account then?

Let’s hope the kids feel the same when they’re older

Suspect they may not

Nope not my account they just pop on my insta not that fussed over them but as I say the kids seem to love the limelight so who knows ?

I think their baby is possibly THE cutest squidge I’ve seen in a long time!

Seems fairly innocuous to me as far as influencer families go. That whole scene is not for me but no indication the kids are unhappy, poorly cared for, they seem to be having fun, obviously they get to travel and see the world. Can’t get worked up about this one really!

Remmy123 · 31/08/2026 22:30

they Have popped up on my insta before and I think their dancing is awful

influencers should not be exploiting their kids I really disagree with it

Think it's rich to start a vitriolic thread which ends with 'poor kids'. If you've nothing nice to say, is it necessary to start a thread laying into the family?

ETA: sorry for quoting you @moppety - was an accident!
