I doubt many of you have watched the American television docuseries Dance Moms? Or perhaps you glimpsed a few episodes when collecting dirty dinner plates from your children, then took more of an interest, finally sitting down next to them to watch episode after episode? It’s been known to happen. The show follows the training and careers of children in dance and showbusiness under the tutelage of Abby Lee Miller profiling the relationships between Miller, the dancers, and their often over-thetop and bickering mothers.
‘My life was kind of like Dance Moms. I’ve been dancing since was three which did competitively until the end of high school; then my social life kicked in when turned 18 and kind of lost that passion. That competitiveness took it out of me. Was doing it for me or to win? It’s not what wanted to do in the end, remembers 23-year-old Angela Stoll.
