Look, yeah, I'm leaving this review because of Dance Moms. Here's the thing - that show might be fake as wax fruit, but Cathy still presented herself and her business on television *as a business owner* and therefore my opinion, based on the image she chose to present, is valid. And the reason for my one-star review has nothing to do with her dancing or coaching or even the choreography. It's the fat-shaming she constantly resorts to - in an industry with a high prevalence of EDs among dancers, I find this utterly irresponsible (and I'm am ex-dancer). I don't care that it's a TV show. I care that she constantly chose to represent herself and her business as supportive of such cruel and damaging behavior. I'd never send my child to learn from anyone who behaved that way on television, because it's clear that behavior is tolerated in the studio if it's so gleefully indulged in by the owner. Do better.
