    With all the negatives, it’s still insane how much this show inspired me growing up as a competitive dancer. I can honestly say it made me a stronger recipient to harsh criticism, and still probably helps me to this day in that sense as a 29 year old woman.

    • @DylanLovesBrenda

      That’s funny when I started watching this I was like OMG this is so not real lmao. I danced for 15 years I also taught for 2 years and was a dance mom for 10 years. My dance years were done by the time this started but I was a dance mom lol this show was so unrealistic even though some things hit home once in a while but not most and this is coming from the very very competitive world of Southern California dancers.

    Another suggestion: Studio Director Dianna Williams learned vital lessons from Dance Moms. Williams put her foot down with a critical rule for the copycat series Bring It!, which was based on her Jackson Mississippi studio: No Moms were allowed in the studio during video production - not at all - not even a little bit.

    It’s too bad that the senior dance group wasn’t right for the show. Most of their moms wouldn’t go with them to competitions because they were old enough to take care of themselves and get stage ready. And younger ones wouldn’t be old enough or seasoned enough to go to competitions. The tween group was the only logical choice to get the dynamic the producers wanted.
