Dance Moms

Yes, I admit it, I watch all episodes of dance moms.

It's ridiculous how much I love reality TV.

I cannot lie, I love Abby Lee...

Even more after seeing her on the Rosie show

yes..... I watch Rosie too now that it is one on one.

Like all reality TV, they edit until only the worse parts

are shown. Hearing and seeing Abby Lee's side

on Rosie gave her a chance to explain herself.

She speaks of how much she truly loves children

that she never had her own family because

these children are all her own.

She speaks of all the students who are adults now,

employable adults. She speaks of how the show

does not show the love and hugs she gives to the girls.

How sometimes the children say they would rather

be with her in her studio than home with the chaos

of their home lives.

I believe her. I think she is a business woman

and although her antics on the show almost embark

on child abuse I think there is another side that the show

does not show. As she says, I don't train my dancers

to just win and be the best, I train that dance group

to be employable dancers.

There are many other children who are not featured

on the show who go for entertainment, excercise.

That is not this special dance group that is

portrayed on her show. These young girls are the best

and have been chosen for that, they are not just your

average dancers, she brags about them saying

they are fabulous, wonderful dancers.

Many of my great nieces dance and many are very, very good.

But there is our Lucy who is phenomenal.

LU is a perfectionist with all her work and especially

loves dancing. I think if she wanted she could be a professional

dancer, she could be an "employable" dancer.

I wonder what would happen to a dancer like Lucy

in Abby Lee dance studio.

I don't think her parents would ever allow it

but I tell you this,

Our LuLu would give Abby Lee a run for her money.

The tears would be turned...
