    How much is too much!? That is the question. I will be one to admit that I have been wrapped around this train wreck of a show that is on Lifetime called Dance Moms. The woman pictured above is where the animosity begins. She is Abby Lee Miller and she owns her own dance studio in Pennsylvania.
   When I came across this show on OnDemand I did not know what to expect, but I became a follower within minutes. I think it is the uncontrollable rude Abby Lee herself who treats the dancers and the mothers like dirt on the bottom of your shoe. She constantly calls the shots with the parents and pins them up against their mothers. The mothers sit there lifeless in front of Abby Lee's face but have much to say when they are looking down on their daughters rehearsals. My question is how much is too much with the competition, the lack of respect (shown and given), and the pressure these children are under daily through parents and Abby Lee herself.

    Here is the 411 on the show:

Abby Lee Miller

She is the queen bee of the series. You shall never be shocked from a ruthless comment that will come out of her mouth towards the mothers and their daughters. Professional??? I think NOT! Although she may be a little loony, she is successful and she is a hell of person to watch on reality television.

Melissa

[ Mother of Maddie and Mackenzie ]

This woman is divorced and is very honest that he boyfriend now flips the bill for the expensive dance bills between her two daughters. She never really says much because her daughter Maddie is an UNREAL dancer and will a very successful life in dance. Her other daughter is a straight up doll, however, completely overshadowed by Maddie's success. Pretty sad!

Kelly

[ Mother of Brooke and Paige ]

She was a dancer for Abby Lee herself when she was younger. She gets a little caught up with Christie her Dance Mom BFF. Her life is run by Abby Lee. Her daughter Brooke does not want to dance anymore, but she herself quit at Brooke's very age... living  through your daughter's life much?

Christie

[ Mother of Chloe ]

In every reality television series you have to have one character besides the lead that makes the show successful and that would be her. Her constant battle with the other dancer Maddie, yes I said the little girl not the mother, is disgraceful as a mother. Good for the show purposes but not reality when the cameras are off. She tries so hard to stand up to Abby but it never ever works out. Before you know she is chewed up and spit out by her in seconds. It is in her daughters comments and actions that you see she truly is a decent mother because she is so great.

Holly

[ Mother of Nia ]

Holly is actually one of the moms that has a life other than living through their children. She holds a doctorate and is a principal. She may have that on paper but she constantly lets Abby run her life and her child's in the dance studio. She tries to stand up to Abby but she breaks her down and then takes it out on her child. So sad.

Kathy

[ Mother to Vivi-Anne ]

Last but certainly not least, we have this psycho. Yes, I said it. Between her ruthless and just hateful comments that stem from jealousy and her defiant actions she is a psycho. She owns her own dance studio but her daughter goes to Abby Lee's. Weird??? I think so. you almost have to feel like this is scripted because for one person to be so out of control seems unreal. her daughter is sweet and tells her mom that she does not want to dance yet is still pushed. Take the hint woman!

This is the run down of this show. The kids eat, sleep, and drink dance. How much competition and ruthless behavior, lack of respect, and demeaning of one another is too much? Where will the line be drawn, if ever? Have you see it!?!
