Simply A Masterpiece

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Abby may be a bit harsh at times, but she always meant to give them how they will be treated in the future. Yet I do believe at times such as when Abby threw a chair at Paige or when her and Kelly were fighting, were surely unnecessary. But no matter what the cause there was always some of meaning to the part.

Dance Moms is a T.V. series about little girls, most of them between the ages of 9 to about 16 who want to dance. This appears to be a pageant show where little kids where makeup which is not acceptable for their ages. And there is way too much drama, conflicts, injuries and crying through out. I do not like watching a bunch of kids going through all this pressure.What is wrong with these dance instructors? Do they hate kids? If they have such a short fuse with kids, why are they working with a whole bunch of kids? They shouldn't even have jobs for having such intolerance with these dancers. They should have learned about patience before they signed up for this job.

Since my 8 year old daughter started to watch this show by this year, she always have a fight with me! Last year she told me she admire Albert Einstein and she was very focus on her study and got a very good progress. But since she addicted to this shows, she always wanted to be Maddie Ziegler, complaint everything was boring and refused to wear all the clothes I bought for her, she asked me to let her join to this show so she can be very famous, she was out of control and totally changed to different person now! And every times when she turn on this show I felt so... tension of the shouting came out from the TV!!!Please consider our youngsters, for the sake of the well being of young children.This show need to be banned as soon as possible! MANY THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I originally watched the Dance Moms Collection and the latest episode on YouTube.My first theory is that I think that Abby may be a little jealous of the moms and maybe of the little girls who can dance. While they are all in their forties and married with children, Abby is single and her whole life is in that dance studio and she is very overweight and out of shape. Does anyone ever notice that whenever anyone ever confronts Abby about her behavior that she changes the subject? Anyway, sometimes I do think that Abby has to keep the dancer's moms in line. It is her studio and the moms need to understand that their daughters can't get a solo every week. The moms can be a little petty too.At the same time, Abby screams at the girls until they cry, makes them feel bad if they don't get first every time, and openly plays favorites. She also has the girls dress and dance way too mature for their ages and has them making her political statements. All of these things are disturbing.These moms get carried away too. My daughter is in dance class once a week for an hour. I wouldn't spend $10K a year for dance lessons for her. I also wouldn't invest tons of time on something she probably won't do when she is an adult. Fame doesn't last, even movie stars have to do something else once their time in the spotlight is over.As far as Abby favoring Maddie, I think it is only natural for adults to like certain kids more than others. If I were Christi, I wouldn't continue putting my kid in that dance class if I felt my daughter wouldn't be getting a fair chance. I don't understand why the moms keep putting their kids through all that.The last episode with Abby throwing a tantrum over a parking space in LA and not showing up to a competition---I saw a lot of changes. Most of the original dancers on the show are no longer there---no surprise. Abby only got one casting call for those girls---hmm...maybe Abby has developed a bad rep in LA and no one wants to give her a chance. Here is my last theory. Without Kelly and Christi and possibly Holly leaving, there is not much to the show anymore. The only thing that might be entertaining is watching Jojo annoy Abby. This show will die out.
