Abi

February 3, 2015

although ridiculously priced, the actuall program is really good. It is an excellent reality TV program starring the demanding Abby lee, and the dancers of the Abby Lee dance studio. The program also features the dancers' bossy and dramatic moms, hense the name dance moms.

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.
