I love this show and watching these beautiful dancers. I know Abby is tough but the mothers aren't exactly nice either. They are constantly criticising Maddie. They are obviously jealous because Maddie is better than their kids. Abby wouldn't correct them if they were doing it correctly. Maddie actually puts in so much more effort and listens to what Abby says while the other girls don't. More often than not their faces are expressionless even though Abby keeps reminding them that they should be expressing themselves with their faces as well. Abby is correcting them to make them better. If they did it correctly she wouldn't have to continuously correct them. Simple really . Do it correctly and you won't get corrected. Some of the mums are disgusting and they are also really rude to Melissa. Christie makes some horrible comments to Melissa and about Maddie. Maddie makes the effort while the other girls don't
