Dance Moms

             Last Tuesday night on Lifetime I sat down grabbed some popcorn and watched Dance Moms since I didn't record it on my tv I had to wait a week to watch it. That week Nia, Kendall, and……… were given solos to see who would be “Maddie’s replacement” according to Abby. Kendall was given Maddie’s old solo which I think was unfair, because then Abby and all the other moms would be comparing her performance to Maddie’s and that’s unfair, because she shouldn’t dance like Maddie, because she is Kendall. Nia’s received a solo which was a tribute piece to Maya Angelou although Abby complained and took away her solo the week before. I really liked Nia’s solo, because they added a cool element to it which was spoken word where she talks on stage different parts in the dance. It was a cool element, because the spoken word was poetry, and it made the connection between Nia and Maya. Then there was the group dance. To me the group dance was very cheesy. All the girls represented one of the seven dwarves with a twist. Their names included slouchy, snobby, etc. The number was very sub-par and even childish to me. The person who can agree with that is Cathy from Candy Apple’s Dance Company who is Abby’s “evil” nemesis. Sometimes I like when Cathy comes, because it definitely adds more drama, and funny remarks exchanged between the dance companies on the show, but this time her team wasn’t even competing she just showed up to watch Abby Lee’s girls compete which was a little odd to me. In the end the group number one too which got me thinking, Did Abby place them at an easier competition where she knew they would win or do the judges know the show or know Abby and judge in her favor. I’m not sure, but many questions were left unanswered.
