"Dance Moms: (You've Been Unfriended)" Recap

These costumes are made of money. Literally. After the epic meltdown that was last week, I was a little nervous for the latest “Dance Moms” episode. But things generally went pretty well: Chloe and Mom Christi came back, Maddie was back at the top of the pyramid and all things seemed right in the world […]

“Dance Moms: Liar Liar Dance Mom on Fire!” Recap

I know this show is called “Dance Moms,” but there’s nothing that upsets me more than an entire episode (like last night’s) focusing mainly on the moms being annoying. Silver lining: Mackenzie got a solo. Here are my top three AWESOME and oh-so-AWKWARD moments from the latest drama-filled installment. AWKWARD The ridiculous process of casting […]

Dance Moms: (But I’m a National Champion!) Recap

It’s episode three and the moment of truth has arrived: Abby must decide who will stay and who will go. It was certainly a nailbiter. Here are my top three AWESOME and AWKWARD moments from this week’s show.   AWKWARD OK, we knew the old team was going to be brought back eventually, but did […]

A Visit from Maddie and Chloe

Believe it or not, Dance Spirit editors get star struck too. And that’s exactly what happened when Maddie and Chloe from “Dance Moms” visited our office on Friday.

This was a fabulously kid-focused, (almost) drama-free episode. The moms kept their fighting to a minimum, everybody got a solo and my not-so-secret favorite, Mackenzie, got tons of screen time. L.A. clearly suits this crazy bunch. It was hard to choose, but here are my top five moments: 5. Mackenzie’s on top of the pyramid! Enough […]

Let my top five moments begin: 5. Chloe and Paige got a duet, which apparently they really wanted (although we’ve never heard […]

"Dance Moms: Worst Birthday Party Ever!" Recap

Some fun times on “Dance Moms” this week— and some not so fun times. Payton’s back (ugh, so much unnecessary fighting); Kelly had a birthday party, but I don’t want to talk about it; And the girls travel to Starbound in Atlanta, GA (the competition that brought on Abby Lee’s breakdown last season). Bring on […]

"Dance Moms: How Do You Like Them Apples?" Recap

Let me be the first to say that going two weeks without any new Abby Lee Dance Company footage was rough! I missed these little girls; Their moms, not so much. And this episode brought us back to all the things we love—the moms enjoyed some cocktails, the Candy Apples returned and Maddie got to […]
