Dance moms season 7. I use to like this show. In some ways i still do. I just wish Abby was replaceable. I dont miss maddie or Mackenzie or jojo. I do miss chloe. She was and still is a far better dancer than the current bunch of girls. Abby can certainly give abuse but she can't take it. Abby enjoys being an adult bully. Maybe if there's a season 8, i would watch only if Abby will be the one to be replaced and the show would bring back chloe. Just a thought.

No children of her own and little dance experience, her mom had a studio long ago, Abby leads the girls with threats, shaming, and screaming tirades. I hope this show goes the way of so many other children's "reality" shows. Yes, Abby lost a couple hundred pounds with a lap band but still "choreographs"the same repetitive routines from the sidelines.She's mean and talentless.

Dance lessons and participation in competitions all across the U.S. The only reason that I watch this is to see the girls dance. They are amazing. I can't deal with the screaming and fighting. I'm sure a lot of it is put on but I think a good part is real. They should never fight in front of the girls and certainly not at them. Those girls should never be subjected to that. Abby and the moms need some anger management.
