When I was about two or three years old, my mom signed me up for my very first dance class. It wasn't a dance school, it was just a little jazzercise class at our gym. Since I was so young, I don't really remember it, but my mom tells me that I fell in love with dancing in that class. So, she enrolled me at Powell-Moise School of Dance. I took classes there for about 6 years, but quit because it was boring, and the teachers were mean. It's not that I didn't like dancing; what I didn't like was the kind of dancer I was becoming at that particular studio.
Y'all are probably wondering what my childhood dance experience has to do with the title of my blog. As many of you might know, there is a reality show on TV called "Dance Moms", and I am absolutely obsessed with it. I don't know what makes it more interesting; the rude, but funny, dance teacher Abby Lee Miller, or the pointless drama of the "dance moms". The reason why I chose to talk about my dance experience first is because when I was in dance, I often felt the same way these girls on the show feel. "Dance Moms" follows 6 young dancers on their road to stardom in a studio run by a highly demanding teacher. With their mothers by their side every step of the way, this show delivers a dramatic look at what competition season is like in this studio. Even though the girls are teammates, they will each do whatever it takes to be on top.
Sarah, I really like your free choice response! I am a fan of Abby Lee Miller myself, she makes me laugh. Sometimes she is so strict I think she is acting then I'm like wait, it's reality! Would you ever be on "Dance Moms"?

Katie, I know! Some of the things she says to the moms and the girls are ridiculous! Even though she is rough on her students, they are all amazing dancers. So, if I wanted to be on broadway or something like that someday, then maybe I would give it a shot.
