Bring It! : No dance technique

These girls have no technique. I hope they're not being trained this way. There's no fluidity. It looks like nothing more than street dancing. It's painful to watch. And the motherswow. It's extremely ghetto.

It's a type of Dance. And it is very popular. Now if you don't like it that is your loss. Abby could learn some people skills from the teacher here oh and have have the dancing and eduction Diane has.. But you sound like a bigot.So puff!

I agree she can learn some people skills from her bu I don't know about the dancing and education thing, since I see the routines Abby's dancers do as more professional and more like what dance schools and programs are looking for when auditioning. Plus the props and gimmicks they use at times (I know they don't use them all of the time) are pretty annoying and not cute.

More professional? Says who?
I am more of an abstract thinker, so I tend to see things a littledifferently. To me, deteriming the value of dance is like determining what is and is not art. There is no "right" answer. Artistic expression is not like math, where 2 + 2 is always 4or History, where the War of 1812 occurred in 1812 and that's the end of it! The rules for artistic expression are arbitrary at best, because the rules of such were decided long ago by someone, somewhere, based upon their opinions and taste, and not upon any scientific fact. I wish people would stop downing one form of artistic expression in order to bolster another. Both forms of dance are valid and unique in their own way. Remember, personal taste can not be scientifically validated with empirical evidence. Years from now, Majorette Style will be considered high-brow (based on a change in public opinion) while 2 + 2 will Still and Forever more be 4!

No offense but until professional dance companies and Broadway musicals, which is when a dancer is considered to have made it big time, start do majorette style dancing, then it won't be considered high-brow at all.

"Boys only want love if it's torture"

The family members that watch this show attended the live show in Wash DC last night and offered me an extra ticket but I said no. Kudos if this show is a fav of yours but I have problems with it.

I pulled up youtube videos that people had posted of the show last night and from other cities. I have yet to see a dance performance from them that doesn't look like an audition for a strip club. It bothers even more how the very young dancers on the show were doing the same moves. I love all forms of dance. As someone else here posted I see no technique. I don't see the "art" of the dance. I also don't see a variation in costumes that would add to a specific dance. They did a tribute to those who died in the nightclub in Miami. It's on youtube. I expected some soulful or even praise dancing. It seemed like another booty dance to me. I would hope with the show's success it would evolve into something a lot more inclusive of other forms of dance.

Another thing that bothers me with this show and others (you know them) with Black females is their portrayal of us. Not every single Black female wears weaves, multi-colored hair, gaudy jewelry that looks fake even though it's real, clothes made for someone 10 years younger and acts like they just came from "off the corner". Then we wonder why other races think we're all loud ass, eye rolling, welfare stereotypes. What thee heck happened to being proud of looking like many versions of a Black woman instead of a single Black version of those White Bratz dolls.

Did you miss the episode in which the girls auditioned and some won scholarships for their dancing?

Not sure if I can trust anything that's on a reality show. Heck even on Dance Moms some of the stuff they win is for the show purpose and not a real audition. I don't see them winning scholarships to schools like the Joffrey or Julliard or anything like that high end like that. To win real dance scholarships or get into a performing arts college where you can major in dance you do need technique and the only time I see that is in their solos and for the most part they don't tell much of a story and are just dancing to music and bucking. In reality the most scholarship they can win is being on a band's drill team. Most of them will be laughed out of a real dance company audition
