Kelly's birthday party turns into a disaster when a fight breaks out; Abby arranges for the girls to audition for "Drop Dead Diva"; Leslie works to get her daughter a solo; Brooke faces tough competition from a teammate.Free Download Video Dance Moms 17th July 2012 Episode On ABC Family Tv Online Tv Live Streaming Video. Online Watch Dance Moms Full Episode Watch Stream HD Video on Internet TV.Set in Pittsburgh's renowned Abby Lee Dance Company, owned and operated by notoriously demanding and passionate instructor Abby Lee Miller, the series follows children's early steps on the road to stardom, and their doting mothers who are there for every rehearsal, performance and bow... all under the discerning eye of Miller. Seeing the highs and lows surrounding competition season delivers an intriguing and dramatic look at the cast's frantic pursuit of the ultimate National Dance title.Go inside the competitive world of dance where pushy mothers force their daughters to perform while try to create their own dreams vicariously through them. t’s a good thing Mayor Bloomberg doesn’t watch “Dance Moms.”If he ever got a gander at Abby Lee Miller, the morbidly obese, out-of-control, rage freak who is the star of the hit reality show, he’d hop on his private jet and arrest her for sugar crimes against humanity.
If you haven’t watched the show, Miller is a dance instructor who can hardly make it across the studio, yet she spends her days berating, screaming and shaking her fists of fury at little girls who don’t jump, shake and flip the way she wants them to.
All that horrifying explosive rage and fury at children has paid off big time and turned Miller into a huge reality star, literally and figuratively.
“Dance Moms” enters its third season tonight as we join Miller and her star pupils, whom she screams at in what has come to be seen as the TV norm for dance schools.
As the mother of a girl who went to an NYC ballet school where the instructors were very mean — but very lean — and taught the kids actual classical dance as opposed to whatever the heck Miller is serving up, I can only say hapless fury is not normal. These kids are learning more about rage than the stage.
First off, the choreography, for the most part, isn’t even as good as so many dance troops that routinely show up on “America’s Got Talent.”
Miller’s looks old-fashioned and clumsy, and the costumes, for the most part, are a tacky mess. Last season, Miller even had these little girls in nude leotards doing burlesque fan dances. Yuck.
This is not to say that the show isn’t a huge guilty pleasure. It is because she’s so crazy and the actual mothers of the girls get so angry that they lash back at her or are so intimidated that they let her berate their kids as though she’s preparing them for the Bolshoi. It’s TV at its best/worst.
We all have read stories of parents suing teachers because they embarrass or upset their precious children in class and, here, we have near child abuse as dance instruction.
And that’s why the show’s a hit. People like to watch other people’s kids get disciplined —not their own.
For a guilty pleasure, this show is a full package. It is like toddlers and tiaras--but don't let that stop you. Unlike that show, Abby Lee's show features charming dancers, a no-nonsense and dogmatic yet completely respectable and talented instructor, moms who vary in sanity and charm, and downright real entertainment in dance. Let me take that back.
It's not much like toddlers and tiaras, as these people are real. Despite their abnormal devotion to dance life, each mom and daughter is authentic. Like them or not, each person makes a good point and has a different perspective. The fun is in watching these perspectives collide while being wowed by the behind the scenes and performances of talented and beautiful dancers.
