As another season of the popular show “Dance Moms” just wrapped, many are left wondering, “How is this still a show?” The switch from Abby Miller, now behind bars, (wonder if she’s able to watch from her new home?) to ballroom’s sweetheart Cheryl Burke, to the cat-fighting between moms and daughters, clawing their way through competition life, makes the “reality” show feel like an endless stream of sequined drama! OK, I get it! Sort of.
Despite all the theatrics, the show does raise some interesting questions for teachers and the dancers they train. Especially when it comes to appropriate costumes and choreography.
For example, this recent competition performance sparked a debate on the show’s official Facebook page. Watch and see below.

This commenter took a more zen approach…
And some just miss the way things were…
