I have to agree that this is Reality TV and you can't necessarily believe everything you see. But at the same time, just to portray or "script" a teacher that directs such anger and abuse torwards children is unbelievable. I can't believe what TV has come to. I respect Ms. Abby for her knowledge of dance but I have no respect for the way she talks to and treats the children. If this were real life, the parent would have been charged with abuse. CPS would say that these children are being verbally and emotionally abused; so why is Ms. Abby being allowed to do it - even for the sake of TV. It's true, I don't have to watch the show; so, I guess that's why I fast forward to the dance numbers. After all, there's not a lot you can really believe on Reality TV. It's kind of sad what people will do for MONEY!

My daughter took many years dance, she had a wonderful teacher. IF her teacher had talked to hrr and abused her the way Abbey abuses these girls, I would probably have gone to jail for abusing Her! These parents need to think about what this is doing to those girls.

Abby is no different than a sports coach who loses their temper once in a while. I really believe if the moms were not around Abby and the girls would do fine.

well lets see.. chances are everything is scripted. so are you saying that every person that plays a part as an abusive character should not be allowed to have children, you are a naive and childish person to think that the show is actually based off of how she teaches and you know what why don't you open a dance studio or enroll your kids in one and see how successful you are believing everything tv says. this is the problem people like you that have nothing better to do than to disapprove of everything else others are doing instead of doing something else for yourself. don't watch the show (reality TV show [NOT REAL]) if you don't like the message, its not bothering you otherwise.
