The dancers are very talented, both technically and in their stage performances, and they all genuinely like each other and support each other throughout the competition season. Of course, that doesn’t provide much drama for a reality television show. Luckily for the producers, the drama abounds among the adults in the show.

The Dance Moms

The first season featured five dance moms: Kelly, Christi, Melissa, Holly, and Cathy.

Kelly took dance classes in her youth from Abby’s mother, and returned to the studio with her two daughters, Brooke and Paige. Christi’s daughter, Chloe, is one of the top performers and usually competes against Maddie in solos. Melissa works at the studio’s front desk, and her older daughter Maddie is billed as the “star” of the small competitive group. Her younger daughter, Mackenzie, is the youngest of the group and sometimes does not compete with them. Holly is a school principal, and sometimes is offended by the overly “ethnic” solo routines that Abby gives her daughter Nia, since she is the only African-American dancer in the group.
