"Dance Moms: The Politics of Dancing" Recap

You had muscles like that at seven years old, right? It’s week two of Asia with the ALDC, and the drama surrounding this little firecracker has just begun.

"Dance Moms: Nationals 90210" Recap

Abby Lee Dance Company goes to Nationals! Considering how awesome everyone dances, there’s an awful lot of crying in this episode that I could live without. I’ve also chosen to ignore the Candy Apples in this recap, because they were just too annoying. (Although I did think the thirty seconds of Cathy’s creepy cackle perfectly […]

Maddie and Mackenzie Ziegler Model Fall Fashion

  The latest in the never–gets–old trend of dancers modeling fashion (dare I say, bringing it to life?!) is a video of two of our favorite sisters dancing in all the latest for Glamour magazine.

"Dance Moms: Two Girls, One Solo" Recap

Cuties fighting cancer Finally, an episode of “Dance Moms” that features only the ALDC! Triumphant over Cathy and the Apple Cores at last, Abby’s dream team was back and better than ever. From the start, Abby’s spirits were high as she greeted each girl (and mom!) with a smile as they entered the studio. I […]

"Dance Moms: The View From the Top" Recap

Mom Kristie decides to suck up to Abby. Because that’s definitely the best way to make everyone else hate you. I must admit that this week’s episode had way too much Cathy, way too much mom drama and not nearly enough dancing. But there’s nothing like rooting for little Mackenzie to keep me riveted. Here […]
