Different to other reality shows. I love, love, love Dance Moms, all of the girls on the team are outstandingly great dancers. Although, Abby is tough/harsh on her dancers it shows their hard-work pays off in the resuts they earn, each girl is slowly becoming a rising star and it's wonderful to not only get a dose of drama in each episode but to see the girls grow in to more and more talented dancers each season. Absolutely recommend this series.
