Dance Mums and Bad Teeth

      On March 17, a new Lifetime series premiered called Dance Mums Uk, the UK version of the American series Dance Moms.

   The series started with a special episode called, Abby Meets Jenn. In the episode Abby Lee Miller, from the American version of the show, comes to evaluate the UK girls and their teacher Jennifer Ellison. The girls are not up to the standard of Abby's girls, but they are pretty special. It's the girl's moms that are really the problem.
   The moms talk back to Abby and argue with her. They also have bad teeth. I don't think it's okay that they can have bad teeth and have everyone be okay with it. Here in America we have to suffer through years of braces to make our teeth look swaggy, but they just get to have bad teeth and no one cares?? I understand if the mom’s teeth aren’t perfect, but the girls are trying to be professional entertainers and maybe teeth aren’t a big factor in the UK, but they should be thinking of how the whole world views them.
   They also talk very differently on the show, I can't understand half of things they say because of the strong accents. I would recommend adding subtitles to the show just so people who aren’t used to the accents can understand. I don't know if bringing this show to America was the best call. It is a very entertaining show, just some aspect make me angry.

The big gaps in their mouths and snaggle teeth everywhere. It's a shame for the moms to ignore their teeth but it is horrible they don't fix their kids teeth. I
