Did Abby Lee Miller Take Things Too Far? 'Dance Moms' Alums Weigh In

Transcript

00:00I feel like I typically always like trusted Abby when it came to that like she knew what she was doing when it came to

00:07like storyline choreography and

00:09Costume like she knew how to tell a story on stage

00:13so I typically trusted her and was

00:16Typically comfortable with what we did except for the show girls. I think we were just young

00:22So we were young and we trusted like if Abby was telling us like this is where you're wearing. We're like, all right, cool

00:27Yeah

00:34It's so hard in the dance world, yeah, because I think that in the dance world

00:39Not just the show

00:40but in normal dance like a lot of these

00:44Dances and things like that just are more mature. And I mean, I think that maybe sometimes it was definitely too far

00:52Yeah, but it's hard because it's part of the dance world and it's kind of just the name of the game

00:57I feel like I feel like that's more our moms than us. I don't know. Yeah

01:01I mean, we kind of just showed up every day until we were supposed to do

01:04Yeah, that's who dance teaches you a lot of discipline. And so I think I mean, I'm glad I'm a dancer

01:09I've learned so many life lessons outside of the dance studio. Obviously the comments

01:13Could sometimes be taken too far. But I mean we had no control of that. We just kept doing what we were. Yeah

01:19I think that there's a lot of things that I don't agree with that Abby did as a dance teacher

01:24So I kind of do the complete opposite in a way

01:26I just I love teaching dance and I think after the show I kind of did lose my love for dance a little bit

01:33Because you know, we were just so burnt out. That's all we did

01:36So I got back in it to teaching dance and I just really love it

01:39And I love being around kids and I love I know how special my childhood was because of dance

01:45So I like to make these kids, you know have an amazing childhood with dance and love it just as much as I do

01:52So it's been really fun and I I love being a dance teacher. It's great. It's great. It's your passion. Yeah, it's like my passion
