SOs! If you think your private conversations with parents will remain confidential… you’re wrong. Everyone talks and mothers revel in telling other mothers how beloved their precious child is. You cause animosity and your own chaos sometimes.

Mandatory shmandatory!! Nobody will take you seriously if it is never enforced. Period.

My kid’s solo is announced and they are walking on stage. Guy directly in front of me- his phone rings- and he ANSWERS!! Talks through half the dance and he isn’t quiet. Am I allowed to kick him in the back of the head?

No food or drinks allowed inside venue. Hope y’all like hangry teens. Mine is terrifying. I’m sneaking in a granola bar.

Restrict the moms actions or ban HER completely from attending.

Is it possible that it fizzles out because they feel undervalued and don’t feel good enough therefore causing their love of dance to die? Just another thought. I’ve seen it firsthand.

Show up and you will be rewarded. Hahahahahahaha! Just kidding.

When you watch an awards session and have to stop yourself from laughing like you’re watching a live comedy show… priceless. What a joke.
Have you ever watched such bad ballet from senior level dancers that you feel personally insulted?

Love when the dedicated kids get pushed to the back when a kid who decides to grace us with their presence shows up. Hey slacker, welcome back! Front and center! 🙄

Ok, it’s impressive that you can do 5 leg hold turns... but your technique is crap. Can we please focus on technique over flash???

Virtual competitions. Do we hate them? 🤷🏻‍♀️

If a dance mom watches a dance competition from her own kitchen and nobody is around to hear her snark... does it even count?

New year, new me! Kidding. Same me (sorry) with hopefully a lot more fun and snark to write about this year. Happy 2021! Fingers crossed we all get an amazing season to bitch about 🤞😜

All I want for Christmas is for my kids to dance. I will even try not to complain as much.... I said try!!

Just pray they all realize that if they stop paying there won’t be anywhere for their kids to return after this is over. It’s heartbreaking.
