  • Does the show teach preteen girls to whore out? Yes, but so does every other show aimed at kids these days. Give the liberal plague another 5 or so years to spread and you will see a show just like this centered around preteens and gender identity. After all a 5 year old should be able to decide if they are male or female, right liberals?

  • boo hoo 4 hours..think 5 or hat was me sometimes until 10pm

  • I don't NECESSARILY think the girls are being deprived of their childhood- most of the people I know, gladly give every second of their spare time to dance. You just have to understand that this IS what some of them want to do, for the rest of their life. Though, I have to admit, the moms can be pretty bad, but I've seen worse... :P

  • Their Dance Moves are pretty much never Provocative and DANCE PRACTICE CLOTHES ARE NOT TRYING TO BE PROVOCATIVE THEY ARE COMFY AND WITHOUT THEM YOU SWEAT, HECK WITH THEM YOU SWEAT JUST NOT AS MUCH

  • I LOVE THIS SHOW ITS ACTUALLY SO AMAZING, DRAMATIC AND FUNNY! DEFINATELY RECONEMD! AND THE DANCERS ARE REALLY GOOD!

  • It's ironic how the coach looks.

  • it's really not as bad as they make it out to be. when you're a dancer you take the corrections and move on, and you learn to suck it up. all the competition and rehearsal...its fun! that's why they do it. they're making it look like all the flexibility moves and jumps are painful and hard, but when you've been a dancer for so long it's actually pretty easy. and yeah, girls cry sometimes just like they do at soccer practice or gymnastics or any other sport. that doesn't mean they hate it :P

  • Brooke Is 14 Years Old.

  • @kia7586 in the beginning she was 13...and this was in the beginning i think

  • They seemed like sweet girls when talking to that news chick... such a shame they were brought into this kind of lifestyle.

  • I love these girls they are tough and going to go far in life with this structure. We are too easy on kids at time and let them be ok with average.

  • I love dance mom I was just watching the new one today who ever saw it come text this page back or reply me thanks . .

  • of all the weird/horrible things going on here, the one that absolutely bugs the crap out of me is when abby says "kids should cry when their arm is broken or someone died. that's it" crying is a a biological and natural response to stress or overwhelming emotion. you can't dictate when a child can or cannot cry. abby just needs to shut the fuck up about it.....

  • It's sickening and most likely a pedophiles dream.

  • "they're like normal dance moms!" "I think every dance mom would do that" ...

    I can tell you from experience, my mom does NOT treat me like that...

  • I'd like to see her train for that long!! -.-

  • @Loverleezack I was thinking the same thing XD

  • how is someone that fat able to coach dancing????

  • @Loverleezack as far as i know is she the person who make up the choreography and stuff, but she doesn't really teach it to the kids. there are other dance instructors to do that. She knows a lot about dancing, but i've never seen her dance...

  • @Loverleezack She has another teacher who shows them the moves.

  • Best Show ever!

  • This reminds me of the over the top dad that thinks his son is a star athlete and is constantly yelling at the kid and he hasn't even hit puberty yet That's pretty much what the mom's are doing they push the girls so hard that eventually they will get burnt out and not want dance.

  • In comparison i'd say toddlers in tiaras is worse the kids are brats and at least with dancing they can become more than a prostitute.

  • I love this show.Hands down the best!

  • The only reason people thing Abby Lee and the mom's are crazy is because they know nothing about the world of dance. If you were a dancer, a dance instructor, or a dance mom you would understand. And this is coming from a dancer so I think I know what I'm talking about.

  • In my opinion i don't think that dance moms is anything like toddlers in tiaras. Toddlers in tiaras the show is just about the 'beauty' of the child and pretty much nothing else. While dance moms the show is about training these girls to be young athletes in the world of dance.

  • this is my fav show. the moms are all about drama. 

  • My mom isnt crazy.... Only during competition time... C;

  • How the frig does the teacher teach them, if she is so fat? All my dance teachers are particularly fit.

  • The hair/makeup/costumes are all part of dance...its not provocative at all. Its just what it is.

  • I wanna take a dance lesson from miss abby!!!!!

  • Where are the fathers of these girls? Let me guess, most of the fathers are absent and these girls are born out of wedlock. This is what happens when the mother becomes the head of the family, children tend to grow up dysfunctional. I don't know a single red-blooded dad, who would parade his daughter around like a whore especially at this age all for fame. These mothers should be ashamed. When their daughters end on pornography movies and shooting up drugs, the mothers would be to blame. Shame!

  • @theone1087 Let me guess...You are a guy.

  • @theone1087 Dancers do NOT turn out like that. they turn out to be very talented people who can get many jobs in their future. dancing isnt all about the makeup and costumes, those just support the dance. dancing is a passion, not a slutty activity. so they arent acting like whores, their expressing their passion

  • Okay, honestly almost all dance costumes are like that and makeup is over the top because the harsh lights make it hard to see in the audience.....

  • Abby Lee Miller is Satan spawn.

  • kind of pathetic when your 9 year old has better moves than you do, huh mom?

  • that's just sick - like "producing" new stuff for all the pedo's out there...

  • Wow i live in pitspurgh yea i dnt kno how spell it right when i live there but lol i might be startin at abbys studio maby gonna talk some classes so ready!!!:)

  • @Scenequeen45xoxo Good Luck! You'll be in my prayer :P

  • I remember going through somthing like this when I was a little girl, but not as full on.

  • THE DANCERS ARE REAL. THE MOTHERS ARE REAL THE INSTRUCTOR IS REAL AND THE DRAMA IS REAL... WHAT PART OF LIFE IS NOT DRAMATIC THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THER BOLD ENOUGH TO AIR IT.

  • AHHH people are stupid! How come there is a new show on tv everyone thinks its fake! Just cause its on television does not make the shit fake! Dance moms is very real! I grew up in state wide competion dance and its intense and maddie really did get hurt! I have busted my ass several times and kept dancing but afterwards is a whole nother story! And the reason why people think it is fake is cause of coarse they cut shit out put shit in but it is allllllll reallllll! What tells you it is fake?

  • Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww yeaaaaaah

  • this drama isnt actually true its just part of the lifetime drama. LIke when maddie fell at the gym place she didnt cry, she just got up and kept dancing

  • @caterroxs12 No she did not keep dancing. they had to carry her off.

  • @plogan721 no she continued theres a full version on youtube from a person at the competion

    the show just edited it

  • makenzie is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooooooooo cuteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee i might even cryyy

  • well if abby is insane then the moms are more insane because they are all crazy my least favorite mom is jill beacuse kendell is UGULY . my favorite mom is kelly .

  • i know right

    

  • i have seen this show and i gotta say abby lee miller is insane

  • maddie is Gorgeous!!!!!!!!!

  • @73maddiee nooo paige is gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • dance moms are so cool

  • @ChasityStarful yea

    

  • They are awesome, talented, and VERY gifted...but there is one thing that I disagree with...school comes before dance! It's so stupid to not see education as a number one...there is plenty of time for dance otherwise...as long as the girls get a future they deserve to have starting with smarts!

  • Im glad that mom at 1:03 stood up to Abby for a change!

  • slit ur wrists if ur kid asks you to play baseball..... i like my mom a lot better now. i was gonna take gymnastics/cheerleading cuz all the "popular" girls were doing it but instead my mom convinced me that hip hop/break dancing is better, glad she did that.

  • that's vile

  • Call_the_child_service_ewryone­!

  • i think these girls have so much talent, compared to beauty pagent girls...they dont do shit compared to these little dancers! "what's your talent baton twirling?" hahaha. so true though...

  • when she asked them if they thought their moms were a little nuts, they all disagreed except that one brunette girl. She just sat there silently.

    I'm kind of worried about her.

  • @rainbowmuppet eh, shes 13. and shes shy

  • HOLD ME CLOSER TINY DANCER!

  • The ruffled turquoise outfits are not just slutty, they distract from the performance. Something classy and streamlined would accentuate graceful moves.

  • It's competitive dance.. I was in the same boat as these girls when I was their age. I had fun and now that I'm a college student I miss dance, a lot!

  • Oh no don't worry they just make it look like there that crazy!- Love those girls :)

  • Abby is a coach and yelling to get your attention and get you to do things right is what coaches do. No one ever says anything when a football coach or some other sports coach is yelling at little boys.

    And the reason they wear so much make up is so you can see it from far away.

  • the moms in this show need to see somebody about their controlling, scratch that, over-controlling lifestyles.

  • 2:50 lol mackenzie picks her wedgyy <3

  • maddie is not the strongest dancer. how could you say that!

  • People please, these girls are dancers. You can not label these moves as provacative because really, is sassy the new term for sexual? Unless they are ripping off cothing I see it is an art form, in other words dance. And I saw on a comment of Abbie Lee using the kids for attention. Bitches she gets result from her pupils. Now lay the F*** down, and go to sleep.

  • Vivi say you wanna play softball!!!

  • where can you find epsoide 5 season 2 ?

  • @xoxoxiiiiitscarabooo have you tried the lifetime online? they usually have full episodes on the site!

  • Bearing in mind that they are only kids, why are they even being asked to do moves that are only appropriate for a woman?

  • @HollyApple777 Lifetime, television for women, objectifying young girls for reality tv. Irony.

  • @HollyApple777 'Appropriate' is subjective. That's the problem. I can tell you we really enjoy it, and it isn't really 'wrong' unless it scars the child - which it usually doesn't because children don't always get the metaphors behind the dance. My problem is that if the child is exposed too early from a source that is not their parents, that's bad. That's my only problem. I think the costumes are great because I can see the bodies and technique properly (we wear leotards to dance class ANYWAY).

  • @cutiepa2te

    I can understand you enjoying dancing, but I don't think that people pushing sexuality on kids so young is healthy. And 3:16 - 3:20 is totally inappropriate for such young kids.

  • @HollyApple777 You've got a point. Pushing sexuality onto the kids is not good. But I don't really think the dance are too sexual - I don't usually think anything is sexual unless it involves the sex organs (I'm extreme like that). That's why I said its subjective. But I totally understand what you mean.

  • @cutiepa2te

    It's nice to be able to disagree with someone in a civil manner on YouTube! That doesn't happen too often! Thank you and enjoy your dancing!

  • @HollyApple777 the moves are perfectly appropriate. they would only seem inapproriate because of all these adults saying it's too 'sexy'. every dancer would agree that they dance/danced the same way that those girls do, and as dancers/choreographers it is completely normal.

  • @shelbbbyrae

    You call 3:16 - 3:20 appropriate???

  • @HollyApple777 yes. I think it is appropriate. for the dance it is appropriate. I don't know how to explain this to someone who doesn't dance. It is only seen as inappropriate to people who sexualize the kids themselves. They are talented mature dancers, and they can't keep dancing their age because that's not what makes improvement. It doesn't work like that in dance, it never has

  • @shelbbbyrae

    So kids dress up like whores and do moves like that and you say it is people like me sexualising kids??? I think not. I agree that they are talented dancers, but they are NOT mature. They are 6, 7,8, 9. That is mature??

  • @HollyApple777 I didn't say you. I meant people in general. they aren't dressed like whores because it's a costume. yes if it was worn anywhere else, then it would be a problem >

  • @HollyApple777 > and they are mature, as in mature for their age. not a lot of dancers push themselves as much as they do or are as focused as they are >

  • OMG. There fine. there great dancers and there moms are helping them . It can get out of hand but you know its the life of a dancer. They are WELL trained and will most likely becaome a star.

  • my parents wacth this show but lets face it the moms r living there lifes threw their kids. also the fat owner is trying to get the acception from kids that she never got from a man and most of these kids are gona turn out to be strippers or hookers :D

  • @aaronwashere100 lol no. those kids will turn out to be healthy and happy, doing something they love. The moms are nothing like they are portrayed in the tv show. because IT'S A TV SHOW. people need to learn the difference between tv and reality

  • why'd they show chloe when they said "ages to 6 and 13" chloes not 13?

  • @TiffanyLPS1 i know right!

  • @TiffanyLPS1 because they were talking about ages 6 to 13, mackanzie to brooke

  • @TiffanyLPS1 they sad ages 6 to 13

  • These people don't know what the hell they're talking about. The kids are FINE. These people don't know anything about the competitive dance world. I've seen far worse dances than anything these kids have ever done. And the make up thing is FINE.

  • who ever is talk shut up

  • the pyramid is soooooo stupud im sorry but it just makes everyone emotional

  • To me this show is sick. i can't believe these moms are letting their daughters dress the way they do and dance the way they do. its sick. This show is perfect for pedophiles. Fathers should not let their daughters participate in these shows. i heard one mom say that her "ex to be" claims their marraige is being ruined because of this and honestly that is just sad. what does that tell you mom?

  • i would like to see miss abby try to do some of the dance moves!!!!!!!!

  • i like this show

  • These girls are so talented. waaw

  • Makenzie's face wen the interviewer says "Im gonna learn some moves from Abby"

  • The kids CAN DANCE!!! Personally I dont think the parents out pressure on the kids if the kids really want to dance, which they do! :D

  • I think their awesome and talented. Good 4 them=)

  • Ive always wanted to dance like that with all other friends...

    So sad :-( Im 11

  • all dancers dance like that and wear make up and dress like that, thats what the sport is about, im 19 and ive been dancing since i was two.

  • "sometimes more then 4 hours a day!" Well... I was in a very competitive group in high school and we would have 12 hour practices ALL the time. 4 hours is nothing to be as good as they are thwey have to practice more then 4 hours. silly news people =P

  • @ashyjedi on the show they say that they work for 8 hours

  • @nastiaisawesome I know lol It's just funny that the news people said sometimes "more than 4 hours practicing" when it's normal to practice like 8 hours like those kids do and the practicing only goes up from there

  • Okay, this is making the moms look horrible, but the costumes and that are all Abby!

  • i love the show and I wish everyone would shut up these little girls r going to be stars someday!! Abby is tough but if u don't like her, leave" everyone's replaceable!!"

  • I think this is the most stupid show ever!! how is it possible to make little girls so provocative and adult feeling??! i really dont see a healty future for these girls...But ofcource there are those moms! who wants to be famous on tv,news,radio and btw a fat bitch who cant even move but does make millions with those stupid moms!!!! what a sad world we are living in!!

  • Okay they will make a vieo about a Dance Moms. . . . But they wont Pagent Moms -__- okay that make since

  • i love brooke but no she had to go to cheerleading

  • pedobears Favorite show

  • I love dance moms

  • i luv chloe and maddie!!! <3

  • @PinkBrielle MADDIE doesn't suck she is one of he best dancer at that studio

  • MATTIE SUCKS

    

  • I love this dance Moms!!! it is the best show I do dance my self but my Mom is nothing like that and I can not dance like that!!! :))))))

  • Haha not ALL dance moms are like that...............well in the south

  • @gracielouhooboo I don't think that is a air statement. Having lived, danced and competed in both areas there are moms like that in all places

  • @Dance4lifexox well yeah but i guess it depends on the dance teacher i do believe that alot of moms r like that but i havnt met any

  • @gracielouhooboo you dont know what their talking about

  • @skyleegracetrevino Im not saying there are no moms like that i just never had met any.

  • "wait wait wait...I GOT YOUR BACK!" these girls are too adorable!

  • OMG! 2:12. Right there. That girl who is 2nd to the right, looks like a really small 18 year old

  • @Antmlover96 not really...

  • @Iloveyourv25 well she does to me...

  • @Antmlover96  I can see it.

  • The issue is not with the dance moves. The issue here is the mothers and their coach Abby Lee Miller. They spread around venomous hatred of other dancers and expose that to their daughters, along with fighting amoungst themselves. They are raising the next generation of psychos.

  • if you look at these girls and have sexual thoughts, then maybe you are the one with the problem. don't blame them for your thoughts. these girls wear more here and in their dancing then girls the same age would wear on a public beach.

    this is nothing new for dancers even at this age. the only reason people notice it now is because it's on a TV show.

  • @SpecialEDxx Thank You so, so much for saying that. I agree with you.

  • wow...... get your mind of the gutter.... o.o

  • why did they say maddie was the "strongest" when Chloe is very strong too??

    

  • i dont see why eople make a big deal. like ya they shouldtn be as sexualied but thats how that dance world is

  • @bubagirl3 I think that's kind of the point. They shouldn't be.

  • our world is obsessed with creating child stars and making children look like adults. i have no idea how anyone can think this stuff is right. children in sexy outfits and doing sexual dance moves should be on the same level as child porn in my opinion.

  • I love the show. Please watch my first video- a solo to 'Disappear'

  • o please thats the life of a dancer

  • Oh my god there is nobody more adorable than Paige.

  • just seems like the mom's are living through their child . poor kids . this in my opinion is too much for them , especially all the sexuality . the talent is amazing , heck i cant even moon walk . but they take this show WAY too far .

  • @solitaryxCrusifixion I agree with you ,this too much ,too soon .The moms are pathetic ,they wanted to become dancers but didn't make it ,so now they want to be sure their daughters will become dancers .They should be out and playing ,grow up and develop .Like you said they have the talent ,it's just too early to be training like that .

  • 4:29-4:37 ...thats awkward -_-

  • i feel bad for paige shes never given any attention

  • Has anyone seen this show?? Rather than worry about which kid is number 1 they should be worried about the fact that their YOUNG daughters are running around on national tv half naked!!!! Never mind the costumes....look what they wear in the studio!!!! I was married to a modern and jazz dancer so I have been around dance companies and studios...girls in their teens and twenties do not wear work out wear half as skimpy..this show is a pedophiles wet dream. In some states it is almost kiddie porn.

  • @vampireratt Yes i have.. Its a crop top and booty shorts, its dance stuff!! Gymnast wear it swimming, & people at the gym. they work 4 hours or more a day they prob. need to wear it because you'll get really hot under a t-shirt and Abby prob. wanted them to wear that to.

  • @Lexiloi28 Yes..but booty shorts on 8 and 10 year old girls????it's too sexy.. I have been around professional dancers ..girls in teens and twenties...they dont wear stuff that skimpy for workouts. It would be different if the girls were 15 or 16...I dont know how old you are..but Im sure there are lots of pedos watching and drooling..not good.

    I dont watch the show....saw only parts of it but if abby or what ever her name is spoke to my daughter like that I would put 2 in her head.

  • @vampireratt I wore those shorts when I was 10/11 some aren't that short I wore the not so short ones. But only are teacher saw us dance and are mom and dads. But yea if i was on t.v. like that then just forget I would wear shorts but not the tops. And I mean we have are own opinion on stuff.

  • I don't agree with this lifestyle, and wouldn't do it with my own kids, but that's the thing. THEY HAVE THE RIGHT AS PARENTS TO DO THIS! The girls like what they're doing, and they're amazing! No one is crawling up the backs of future Olympians, do they? To each their own. Live your life the way you want, and don't be so quick to judge others!!

  • CandyApples Suck Ass and the indian girl or wha eva she is suks im sorry no offense ur adoptive mom is crazy for putting you on a dance show as if you had talent

  • Can abbey even dance why is she called the dance mom.

  • @zamy23 she da teacher fucker.....

  • @cherryblossom6775 Yeah one and that can't dance ass. Let her teach you some move oh i forgot she can't because she has other people on the show the dance trainer to do it for her you lil fucker. By the way the "India" girl name is Vivi-Anne since you know so much dumb ass.

  • @zamy23 i know her name Shithead and i dont give a shit so uve wasted time commenting back at me Good Day Mate ;)

  • I wish I can watch these kids dance without having to see ugly Abbey and bitchy moms. Their amazing dancer.

  • @lennychef WOW that is a little bit too much.... whats wrong with you, you need to seek some therapy or go get a woman your own age...... if u were trying to make a point all u did was send a red flag! You might be a future pedophile if your not one already..... go get your head checked and get a hooker to rub one out for you. WOW i think that was the most disturbing comment I have ever seen on youtube!!!

  • literally this is how dance is and is going to be always. it is okay that they are dancing those hours because it is what they love to do and they are on a competitive team. they signed up for it so they have to deal with it. make up is just apart of being able to be seen against the bright lights and miss abby knows what shes doing even when she is a little over the top some times.

  • seriously dance has been like this since I was in it an I loved it! I loved doing pageants and I'm a full scholarship student in college. A majority of these girls turn out to be disciplined and more well rounded than others r age we also mature faster...these dance moms always talk about the well being of their kids ovr abbeys craziness which I c as being a true mom when chloe said she wanted to quit christi said she would support her...ppl dont understand the lifestyle until they've lived it.

  • If these girls truly love dance and want to become professional then I don't see anything wrong with what they're doing. This dance school is obviously for girls who want a career in dance and that's not an easy thing to accomplish. If the girls truly feel like it's too much for them, they can go to a school that's more recreational.

    I'm a dancer and at times my mother might drive me a little insane and appear crazy but I know ishe does it for me. Becoming a good dancer takes A LOT of hard work.

  • Normal! Psh! I'm a dancer and my mother NEVER acts like that.... >.<

  • What Happened To Ballerinas ?

  • Stupid Fat Ass Bitch !!

  • This Is Sooo Discusting !!

  • To all professional dancers out there, answer my question. Is Abby a good coach? Are these girls too young to start dancing?  Are the moves, makeup, and costumes too provocative? Is it ok to cuss in front of the little dancers? How do you rate these children? are they good????
