Abby Lee Miller Dance Company
EXTREMEIdeas
Portrayed on the show
SEXUALITY
And
VIOLENT/ VULGAR
LANGUAGE
From an article on the website ‘The Blaze’:•Imagery of topless burlesque dancers•Sexually suggestive•“Must act like showgirls”•Nia says she “feels beautiful”
From an article on the FOX News website:
“All the girls and I feel kind of nervous because we feel kind of naked.”
“I’m hot, I’m mean, you can’t have me, you can’t afford me.”
Abby tells the girls to think:
•“Afford me”= selling sex for
money?•Predators?
Things to think about…
Violent language
used on ‘Dance Moms’
Exchanges between Abby and the moms:
•Costumes•Practice/ rehearsal•Payments/ money•The girls’ performances
Kelly: “Don’t even go there you whore… oh you are a whore”Reporter asks if she regrets her choice of wordsKelly does not regret it because Abby “went below the belt”Abby asks why she used that word
Kelly reconsiders and says that if she had thought about it, she
would’ve called Abby a virgin, implying this is a bad
thing
What is this teaching the
girls about both language
etiquette AND sexuality?
More concepts from ‘Dance Moms’ will be discussed by Allison
