Dance Moms

I am sure most of you have either seen or heard of the hit reality TV show Dance Moms. Going from one season to now their third, Dance Moms has really taken off in the TV world and become a major hit.

For those of you who haven't ever watch the show or don't know what it is I am talking about, I will give you a brief over view. So the show is based around the dance company called Abby Lee Dance Company where there is a group of very talented dancers and their very head-strong moms. The basis of the show is to not only show  the extreme level of talent that Abby's dancers  have, but the dynamics between the dance moms and Abby. Things get pretty heated between the moms and Abby but in the end they are all just trying to make their daughters/sons the best they can be.

Growing up in the dance world I can truthfully say that there are some true dance moms out there. Although none of my "dance mom" experiences reached the extent that some of the moments did on the show, there are some crazy moms out there. They all have the best intentions for their daughters/sons and want them to one day go somewhere with their dancing, however some of them will go to extreme lengths to get there as show on Dance Moms. Sometimes the show can be rather comical as the issues they fight and yell at one another over seem rather ridiculous at times, but it also shows some insight to the pressure and stress dancers endure not only by their parents and dance teachers but that they even place on themselves.
