kind of yes. they want you to stay there but if you leave there is nothing they can do. Abby just writes it into her contract that if you win a title you have to stay with her until you give it away the next year or you will owe her $100,000 or something absurd like that.
What title has Chloe recently won? I know about DEA and Jr. Miss Dance, but she should have already given up those titles.
Maybe there's a contract with the show? Like she's locked in as long as the show goes on or something.
Umm, am I the only one who thinks this dance was as bad as ALDC's? If this dance won 1st, I'm okay with them getting 10th.
you are right the last half of last nights show was not scripted. Abby plays favorites...big time. she has for as long as i have known her. it actually used to be Brooke until Brooke became more interested in her social life. Brooke is a phenomenal dancer and when i see her dance she actually takes my breath away but you don't get to see that much on the show, she is a multiple title winner. Abby treats Chloe the way she does because she doesn't want Chloe to be better then Maddie, plain and simple. you got a taste of the REAL Abby in the finale.
just checked and you are right, she won DEA again recently but it was just a regional!
she is still stuck there though because of the contract with lifetime!
That sounds right, I know nationals are this summer, so I was a little lost on those titles contracts. Abby's contract woukd be easy to get out of, Lifetime's contract is a whole different can of worms....just checked and you are right, she won DEA again recently but it was just a regional!
DMA stands for Dance Masters of America. DMA is part of a international organization that provides training for students and teachers alike. Thru out the year, they have tests, chapter and national competitions, master classes, workshops, and so much more for the ones who belong in the organization. DMA is basically the USASF, but for dance. Any good studio should be DMA qualified and have teachers who are also qualified . In a spring newsletter emailed to DMA members, the DMA national president, made this statement:“To date, Dance Masters of America has not taken a public stand on the Dance Moms reality show. We had hoped the show would just fade away. As many of you know, the Lifetime video crew appeared at our Orlando National Convention and were immediately turned away and refused any filming of our convention workshops or competitions. Parents and students attending the convention were immediately notified and were discouraged from any participation with this program. DMA feels this is a total misrepresentation of our dance educators and their students and is detrimental to the dance profession.“Abby Lee Miller is no longer a member of Dance Members of America. Her membership was terminated through her chapter. Quality dance education is very important to each of us and our students and our goal is to provide the best dance education in the most loving atmosphere.” The major comps, (WCDE, HOF,ect) refuse to let the cameras in and most of the dance world is furious at Abby for the way she treats her students and moms. She has already lost students and is only keeping the few she has because of the show. When her 15 minutes end, her studio will go back under..This show is harming everything her mother worked for...
