Abby Lee's Teaching Style

Dance Moms

            Everyone thinks that Abby Lee is way too strict on her young students and that the parents are crazy for allowing their children to be apart of her company. I would be honored to be a student at the Abby Lee Dance Company or in the future have my children dance there. The way i look at it is these kids are paying to learn how to dance as a career this isn't just a hobby to them. Abby Lee is teaching them to dance the best they can and teach them that age is not an excuse for being lazy or unsuccessful.She is producing stars and has so in the past that's her job if she wasn't strict or harsh she wouldn't be as successful as she is now. Abby is not in the best shape and most people critic her for her size and being so strict on the girls size and effort, but most people do not realize that Abby started this company when she was 14. She watched her mom as she ran several studios and learned her passion. The mom’s are judged for allowing her to yell at her kids and put them down, but that’s what these moms pay her to do. They want to see their children go far and be successful. Even if they do not decide to pursue a career in dance they have already put their faces out in the public and have learned many important life skills throughout their dance career. Abby Lee is teaching using tough love and the fact that her students are sticking through her “madness” shows that they will succeed in anything they choose to do. “Madness is genius”.
