Dance Moms: September 7th Live Blog

10:59 Also Abby dear, if you're disappointed at the judging as you said...you can't take it out on the kids and moms
10:58 I'm guessing that Chloe probably didn't blow it since she's a pretty phenomenal kid
10:57 Obviously Chloe is dancing "last" for dramatic effect
10:57 Nia gets the craziest costumes lol and she's improving so much
10:54 Can they all learn how to properly say "Cirque du Soleil"? Its not "Circus Ole"
10:53 Shit is going down this week.....is anybody going to actually return to the studio when they get back to P-Burgh?
10:51 OMG we just pulled Paige's number because the costume wasn't ready
10:45 The "Kelly vs. Costumes" theme is officially overdone
10:44 Brooke has a very mature understanding of how these competitions work and that the judges at Nationals could have very different opinions of the same piece
10:43 Sinful was actually a pretty good piece from what I could see of it
10:42 I've missed the great candid Maddy quotes this week with her not having a solo......but oh wait, she's getting into character
10:40 Oh hell Abby just questioned Christi's parenting..........
10:38 "Christi barged into my hotel room....she didn't know if I was exposed or in the shower"
10:35 The whole "Abby=tyrant" thing is kind of getting old now
10:33 OOoooo get it Christi....she's about to lay the smack down on Abby!
10:31 Hold the phone there is an assistant choreographer? Have we ever seen her before?
10:29 Sweet heavens of course there are beefy men. Yay Doctor Holly!
10:22 Thank God nobody licked that ice sculpture. Also, does Abby really need an ice cream of that size?
10:21 That's so great that Abby took them out for ice cream...I always loved spending time with my Dance Teacher outside of the studio
10:19 I love the Christy/Kelly moments...and by Kelly I mean Lisa Rinna
10:17 Is being a showgirl really something to aspire to? Especially when they went to discussing "topless"
10:16 Since this show is continuing for a 2nd season, I wonder if we're sticking with Abby and following different students or if we're switching to another studio
10:15 Cannot wait for the ultimate Cathy vs. Abby showdown!!
10:12 Is it completely necessary to teach 9-year-olds to walk like Show Girls?
10:10 Okay so now we're going to assign sins to each dancer? And of course it was "random" that Chloe was assigned envy
10:08 Oh sweet holy hell Cathy is picking 3 "apples" to go to Hollywood to compete against Abby's kids
10:06 Oh hell well I'm very forward thinking but I think a "sinful" theme is way over the top for 9-year olds
10:04 Oh lord Abby is telling everybody it's "their city" but like does any 10-year old really belong in Vegas?
10:02 OMG Mackenzie has the best quotes ever "I don't care if I dance, I just want to hang out at the pool"
10:00 Here we go....World tour week!

Dance Moms Live Blog: August 31st Episode

10:58 WHy the shit are they going on a world tour? That doesn't happen in real dance studios when you aren't being supported by lifetime.
10:57 That's awesome that Nia won her category. Good for her!
10:56 Wow Abby is actually smiling during Nia's solo! Aww cute...Maddie hugged her after the piece, precious!
10:54 Abby finally got to Holly...the poor dear
10:48 Holly is laying the smack down!
10:45 Obviously the dance is a mess because Lifetime is making them learn a new piece each week
10:44 Abby is looking so Sue Sylvester lol
10:43 Maddie won because she is a better dancer...much more mature than Juliana
10:42 Haha was that the first time Abby rolled her eyes at Maddie?
10:40 From what I've seen Maddie is better than Julianna.
10:34 OMG Maddie has a rival! Maddie just lied....."I don't care if I win"
10:33 Our little Maddie is more of an indoor girl
10:31 I love that Abby can afford a Florida house. Also it's hysterical that her mom is "a sweet lady to everyone but Abby"
10:30 Could Cathy be gone for good??
10:29 How does missing your flight two days ago affect now?
10:24 I hate Cathy. I wouldn't send anyone I know to Candy Apple Dance Studio if it was the last studio on earth
10:22 "I don't think Abby looks like a model" -Mackenzie lololololol
10:20 OMG Maddie just said "I'd kill myself if I couldn't dance." I so agree dear!
10:16 If Cathy's students are at a competition, why is she not with them?
10:14 Who does Cathy think she is? Like really?
10:09 Abby is putting Brook & Brandon on a date to work on their chemistry....sounds like a move of the famous Russian pairs coach Tamara Moskvina
10:08 Nobody puts Brooke in a corner!
10:06 PS why are they learning a number IN ORLANDO??
10:05 This boy is much older than the little girls...could get awkward
10:04 OMG a boy dancer! Shit is certain to go down! PS there is an AIDA poster in the studio
10:00 Abby Why are you dropping Chloe and not giving her a solo?

Dance Moms: August 24th Live-Blog!

11:00 Next week we have Nationals and I'm sure that all hell will break loose!
10:58 Holly is about to exit this studio.....it's getting intense!
10:57 Oh crap what did Abby just say about a Martin Luther King scholarship?? hahaha this woman is too much but she creates some great soundbites!
10:56 What is ethnic about front walkovers and leg-catch turns?
10:54 Oh lord now Cathy is ragging on the photographer. Does she not get that they didn't want the dancers to be highly made up?
10:53 Editing error.....Maddy was just shown practicing a turn sequence AFTER her solo had already gone on
10:46 Its so true that all dancers are typed. I was always given musical theatre and jazz
10:44 Maddy has a very good stage face and such an expressive upper body
10:40 Well Abby, maybe they'd do a better job if it wasn't a new routine every week
10:39 Oh no, Maddy is pissed!!! She's pissed because Nia didn't do well but she told Abby she hurt herself
10:36 Poor Nia!
10:33 Why the hell do they always get there so late?
10:32 Maddy is getting that signature dancer pre-teen attitude
10:30 Abby looks like Ursula there sleeping on the bus!
10:29 Abby is literally driving Holly to drink......and I agree with Kelly that she is going overboard
10:23 OMG Melissa is going to flip out because they are running late
10:22 Nia's costume is to die for...I'd totes wear that lol
10:20 Abby they are children....why do you want them to dance like teenagers?
10:19 Poor Vivi is going to become such a rebellious child  b/c Cathy is pushing her to do things she doesn't want to do
10:18 "You do remember I'm not a team player" -Kathy
10:16 How does this minister think she can just walk out of a contract?
10:09 OMG Minister Dawn is back after the cops hauled her out circa episode 1!!
10:07 I did a double take when Abby decided to teach Nia "ethnic dances" but I actually see her point about being prepared for auditions
10:06 Maddy is doing a precious lyrical solo in memory of her grandmother
10:04 Kathy and Kelly are rehashing last week's costume debacle
10:01 Here we go, Abby is doing her opening speech as per usual
