Dance Moms vs. reality dance

I know most of you have seen the show "Dance Moms", and it is crazy and so over dramatic. "Dance Moms" is very different from most dance studios in the U.S.

Moms do not fight that often and do not scream at each other, there isn't usually a favorite or a "star" at the studio, and the dance instructors are not usually that strict or mean. If you have seen the show you would know that when the girls compete they perform different dances each week. Most studios do not do that; they learn and practice multiple dances and then perform the dances they have learned every weekend. Also, when they announce awards, the judges don't just announce who got first, second, third, and so on, they also announce how most of the dances did itself and who got best choreography and lots of different awards like that. "Dance Moms" just announces who got first and second because it is faster and it is the main award that people care about most. You have to remember, this is a T.V show and they have to keep it entertaining so people will watch. It is clear that most of the things you've seen on the show are made up, no one would stay somewhere for that long just to be tortured in my opinion. There are many dance studios around the U.S and if they are willing to go across the world to compete then I don't think they would mind going across the country to be at a studio where their kid is treated right.

Based on this information, dance is not as bad as it looks on t.v. Dance for most kids id fun and relaxing, its suppose to relieve stress not create it. If you want a real and more accurate opinion over dance, talk to real dancers instead of watching a "reality" t.v show.
