I watch commercials for this show I have never watched it but even seeing a 15 second commercial makes me gag. This obese umpa lumpa looking women teaches these girls dance while these annoying soccer moms argue if I was married to any of the women I would hang myself. Anyone who considers this to be good television I feel bad for you.. This show should have be canceled years ago hopefully soon it will be that way the moms will be forced to get a job and the teacher might lose some weight

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.

I love dance moms. My favourite dancer dancer is Nia. She tries so hard buy Abbey is always on her case.. Nia is such a beautiful young lady. Abbey would never get away with this behavior in United Kingdom. Bullying is bullying how ever you dress it up. Now Chloe has left too. Maddie is good, and I love her for her humility.I love Holly too.Abbey should remember they are children.They are not your commodity.I still love the show but if Nia leaves the showI would not watch it again.
