Reasons Why Dance Moms Is Totally Fake

@dory_jackson

In 2011, Lifetime Network graced the world of Dance Moms, a reality show that followed in the footsteps of other successful shows In Young girls and their persistence, squabbling mothers. I guess tots & tiaras with franchise flavors real housewives mix in for good measure. Moms in Dance revolves around Abby Lee Miller of the "Pittsburgh" studio of the Abby Lee Dance Company (ALDC), and her junior elite standings. What drives the show is the consistent yelling and insane demands from Miller, coupled with Mom's drama. The series presents a behind-the-scenes look into the world of dancesport, while lighting a steady dose of over-the-top chaos.

From the beginning, many dance mom fans were wondering if certain aspects of the show were being rolled out on camera. How entertaining, how dramatic can it be, how real is it? Conflict on the series as a choreographer, like his performances? Let's find out what's really going on behind the scenes at one of life's most lucrative programs.

Show choreographer drama

It's not rocket science to the viewers that "reality" TV is not entirely authentic. Reportedly, elements of many programs are improved to keep viewers interested, and life seems to feel free to use this method. Dancer Kalani Hilliker opened OK! A magazine that in some situations were staged during the season 5 finale.

As a rule, the girls at the show are required to perform every week for a new competition. Sometimes, if they land on Miller's good side, they get the opportunity to showcase a solo. During the finals, Miller had Hilliker and ballet dancer Nia Frazier compete against each other in a fight to the death to determine who would get the chance to perform solo at the Nationals. In the end, Frazier was declared the winner of the challenge. Naturally, Miller's decision caused an air of rift between the dancers' mothers.

However, a few key components of such a tense situation were reportedly omitted from the footage that was shown on TV, such as this important piece of information: "I did do a solo on the Nationals," Hilliker said in a buzzword. "It just wasn't on TV." Yes, all that TV drama was ostensibly for nothing, since both girls got their moments in the spotlight. While it's fair to say that a staged version of this story sounds much more interesting than the so-called truth, fans want to keep this tale alive next time Moms in the Dance tries toying with the audience's emotions.

His big stars say it's fake

Dancer Maddie Ziegler became a worldwide sensation after starring in Dancing with the Stars. She demonstrated her abilities for five seasons before taking on an international title for herself as the heroine of Asya's "Chandelier" video. Miller's mom and bandwagon certainly catalyzed Ziegler's career, but despite acknowledging the show's impact on her life, Ziegler also confirmed that more than just dance moves are being performed on the show. “It's hard to do a reality show when there are so many tears and drama. Manufacturers tweak it to make us all yell at each other,” Ziegler told USA Today. “Moms fake sometimes fight. Then they just start talking and laughing about it.”

Even Miller's boss says the show team has gone too far. “They're just spurring people on. They push you to the brink of exhaustion and the brink of going insane," she told TMZ. “I just don't think the show should be played. I think we should just let things happen."

Practice (and reshoots) to make it perfect

When it comes to TV shows and movies, it's not unheard of for scenes to be shot multiple times from different angles, but where does the line lie with reality TV? You may have heard of Kim Kardashian requesting that her marriage proposal to basketball player Kris Humphreys be re-shot for E!'s Keeping Up with the Kardashians, but did you know dance moms are too much, even with actual dance competitions?

According to Radar Online, "everything I've recorded multiple times to ensure the producers got the maximum take for the show. " As a result, the days were long and the young people were often exhausted. The show may air for a 60-minute block, but daily shoots reportedly can last as long as nine hours. The girls allegedly got multiple opportunities to perform dances too in the competition, which definitely doesn't sound fair to other teams. "Dance mom stars got a few chances to perfect their dances," Radar reports. "The other participants in the competitions were allowed only one performance."

Still in denial? Reportedly attended by a reporter from Business International once one of the contests for girls in 2014 and checked the inequality. "I can confirm clicking on [the show] does not represent a typical event," the journalist said. "Not only is the number of participants noticeably less than average...the production and single-handedly pushed back the start time of the competition are awaiting the arrival of the OANRC's group."

Competitions manipulate

The seemingly exhausting pace of life for the dancers on the show raised eyebrows among the audience. The OANRC girls attend a new competition every week and somehow manage to win with honors in the vast majority of them. How do the kids pull off such memorable performances, as well as filming shows, attend school, and try to lead pretty normal lives?

By manipulating reality, of course! From the moment the girls arrive at the competition, the whole stage turns into an organized event. According to the International Business Competition time shown on the program, there is often not enough real competition. "OANRS LA swept the devotion competition 2 dance [season 6] but that's not certain because they were the 'cream'," NTT reports. "Looks like [Miller's] two teams were the only groups to compete. " In the addition of a farce cast, the contestants are reportedly given a reserved seat for the competition, and the crowd's reaction is allegedly staged too, because they were filming separately from the actual performances.

And it turns out like this: bossy Miller, they say, they don't talk much because of the music and choreography that you see on the show. While viewers tune in for a week to watch her coach the girls on a gorgeous routine, the network reportedly selects and approves all of the music and dance featured on the show.

Not all girls are loyal members of the OANRC

If the reality show was going to call itself "Dancing with the Stars", one would assume the dancers and their moms would be full members of the dance studio, but you know what they're saying about assumptions?

The Hilliker dancer has been an asset to the Pennsylvania OANRC studio since she jumped on our TV screens, but you knew she was trained at a club dance studio in Mesa, Arizona. before joining mom in dance and, at the time of this writing, continues to be an active member of the dance club? According to USC Annenberg media, Hilliker only trains with OANRS when filming is shown; during the off-season, she returns to Arizona to resume training with club dances. Ballet dancer Ziegler told the International Business Times that Hilliker "don't go to the [OANRS] studio". Hilliker isn't the only one hiding a dick at the dance moms part of the time. Season 5 addition JoJo Siwa is also reported to train with Miller only during filming.

So why throw these outsiders around? Drama, of course. "These new moms of girls usually start problems with the original mothers, claiming that their kids will keep the spots of the originals," USC Annenberg told media. "Once again, all hell breaks loose."

Fan favorite Mackenzie Ziegler, the younger sister of superstar Maddie Ziegler, is not even a member of OARRC's most elite team. Sis is reportedly just joining Maddie and the rest of the elite squad for filming. "I don't really dance with them," McKenzie told the International Business Times. "I'm dancing with another group, it's completely different." In reality, little Mackenzie spends much of his time with dancers his own age. Sorry guys, photos this time.

Game Over

No matter how much the dance mom tries to produce suspense, the ratings say viewers can see through the façade and move on. During the show's fifth season, ratings began to drop after several stars, including showgirl Chloe Lukasiak and mom Christy Lukasiak as well as sisters Maddie and Mackenzie Ziegler and their mother, Melissa Gisoni. The aforementioned ladies seemed to take a lot of unmissable drama with them as they left.

To stir up interest, the series refocused on a cold, hard dose of truth: the coach's legal troubles. At the time of this writing, she is facing federal charges of fraudulent bankruptcy and money laundering. According to the Post-Gazette of Pittsburgh, Miller is "accused of withholding $755,000 in assets from her television shows from bankruptcy proceedings. The case began after a bankruptcy judge saw her on TV in December 2012 and thought she should be making more than $8.89.9 she claims the monthly income.” The series milked her on TV, producing tears the moment that implied Miller was leaving the show.

All that premonition turned out to be for nothing, however, because Miller didn't miss a beat and was back for season 6, though we can't say the same about the show's ratings. On TV by the numbers (according to online radar) the series' mid-season premiere attracted only 961,000 viewers, a drop from the 1.3 million people who tuned in for the season's premiere, leading many to believe the jig (literally and figuratively) was.

Season 7 debuted in November 2016. Can the cast and crew concoct enough reality to keep viewers coming back? We will keep you informed.

Series Mom (2018): watch online in good quality, photo, video, series description The director of the series "

Mom " was Guzel Kireeva.

air time: Weekdays at 19:00.

In parallel with the main plot line, the TV movie raises topical questions about the problematic adolescence. The action of the series " Mom " takes place against the backdrop of a heated conflict between parents who are members of the committee of dads and moms of students in the same class.

The main roles in the series " Mom " were played by: Yulia Melnikova, Marina Drovosekova, Pavel Trubiner, Boris Shcherbakov, Galina Polskikh, Yulia Kuvarzina, Valeria Shkirando, Mariam Merabova, Vladimir Koshevoy and others. the heroine of the series is Vera Usoltseva. She lived and worked in one of the schools in the northern capital, but was forced to move from St. Petersburg to Moscow, where her sister Olesya lives. Here, in the capital, she is accepted as a teacher at the Lyceum. Almost immediately, Vera meets the informal leader of the class, Christina, whom everyone considers the so-called difficult teenager. But Vera manages to find a common language with Christina. Moreover, they sympathize with each other as people.

Director Guzel Kireeva: “It was incredibly cool to work on the Mama project, because my friends and like-minded people were with me on the set. I chose actors for charisma, for energy, because it is important that everyone on the set thinks in the same direction. From the humble idea of ​​a series about a school, a large-scale story about several generations and relationships between them, about a school and schoolchildren, about love and betrayal, turned out.

However, Vera will soon be in for a real shock. At the parent meeting, in the chairman of the parent committee, Nadezhda Uspenskaya, Vera recognizes a woman whom she met 14 years ago. It was Nadezhda who gave Vera and her husband a daughter. In the first impulse, Vera intends to write a letter of resignation, but then Nadezhda herself begins to insist that Vera stay. The fact is that Nadia does not have a relationship with her daughter, constant conflicts, and the woman asks Vera to help her understand Christina and establish contact with her. Vera agrees, but asks for one thing: neither Cyril nor Christina should find out the truth. Nadia goes to great lengths to keep their secret a secret.

But everything is aggravated by the fact that Vera had a relationship with Kirill. And old feelings flare up again. Now Cyril is facing a difficult choice - the wife he does not love, or Vera, who was his first love?

Series Mom: key characters and actors

Literature teacher Vera Subbotina (actress Yulia Melnikova).

An excellent teacher Vera sincerely devotes herself to her favorite work, loving both her work and her pupils. Despite the fact that Vera's personal life did not work out, she still does not lose hope that everything is ahead of her. Faith is always ready to help those who need her help. Plus, she always adheres to her principles and is ready to defend them, even if all her colleagues stand against her. The same principled Faith is in relationships with men.

Actress Yulia Melnikova about her heroine: “I often get the roles of women with a difficult fate. Much has fallen on my Vera in life, I sincerely feel sorry for her, but she is strong and goes to her dream despite the obstacles.

Businessman Kirill Uspensky (actor Pavel Trubiner) Christina's father.

Kirill Uspensky, a successful businessman, seems quite satisfied with his personal life as well. In fact, in his outwardly prosperous family, not everything is so good. Cyril has not had an understanding with his wife for a long time, and they would have separated long ago if it were not for their daughter Christina, whom both are madly in love with. Cyril still loves Vera, therefore, having met her again, he faces a difficult choice of who to stay with.

Pavel Trubiner: “Perhaps Kirill is sometimes cynical, rude, distrustful, but this is because of his life realities. But he loves sincerely, from the bottom of his heart. Love is a feeling that cannot be changed. In the project, he is torn between two women, unable to make the right choice...”

Chairman of the parent committee Nadezhda Uspenskaya (actress Marina Drovosekova), wife of Kirill Uspensky .

Nadezhda, having given all of herself and her life to the service of her daughter and husband, was never able to find true female happiness. She understands that her husband is moving further and further away from her, and her teenage daughter puts her in nothing. As a result, Nadia plunges headlong into her daughter's school life, devoting all her strength to work in the parent committee. However, here, too, she runs into problems. A friend, who is her deputy, weaves intrigues against Nadia, wanting to take her place.

Marina Drovosekova: “Such a type of unfulfilled woman like my Nadezhda is familiar to everyone. She has a lot of energy that has nowhere to direct. Therefore, she invests in her daughter and husband more than they need, and they get tired of this suffocating love. She's too patient, which makes her unhappy in her marriage."

Head teacher Ulyana Pavlovna (actress Galina Polskikh).

Head teacher Ulyana Pavlovna has worked at the school all her life. A teacher of the old school, she is sure that she must know everything that happens within the walls of the educational institution she leads. However, Uliana Pavlovna is not stuck in the last century and is trying in every possible way to meet the requirements of modern realities.

Galina Polskikh: “I have a good role: I play the head teacher. She really appreciates her lyceum, respects discipline. With children, he behaves simply, understandingly, not some kind of scumbag. And quite modern, despite the fact that a man of the old school.
