"Pointe shoe fitter reacts--" instant click. Don't care what I'm doing. XD I've said it before, Josephine's reactions are brilliant and I love when she's got educational stuff to say as well. More! :)
Me, too. It could be her reacting to different brands of toilet bowl cleaner, and I would still insta-click and be all “Shhhhhhhhhhhh, Josephine’s talking now!”
@@JustKristenHere yea the whole drama with Maddie being a brat because Chloe got the scholarship and she didn’t was completely fake, she genuinely was just upset that Melissa wouldn’t let her organize the makeup.
@@greenbeantm1096 we don't know that though, Maddie & Melissa both admitted Maddie was upset because Chloe got the scholarship. Maddie might have been told after, and not realised when Chloe got it that she had, and also she might have been annoyed Chloe got the ballet one. Also Maddie didn't congratulate Chloe and was notoriously a bad loser so
@@wheniwatchtheworldburn3184 Bro how gullible are you. Do you really think they’re showing everything Maddie is saying? Ofc she congratulated her stop demonizing a child.
I'm sad Josephine didn't react to all the girls :/ would've been nice to see her reaction on Maddie and Chloe too EDIT: I'm aware there's a second video. However, that wasn't the case when I made this comment when this video was first published
Hi! You forgot to review the most important audition, Chloe! She totally was the ballerina in the group and, much to the dismay of the other dance moms, she was awarded the scholarship. I secretly always through Abbey didn’t like Chole because she was always meant to be a classic ballerina
@@ariannarodriguez9400 I mean they’re ballet master did select her to complete at YAGP the year before the show started (I believe, it might have been 2 years)
When the little girl did a death drop I CACKLED. Also in re: "the ballet world is the last place you can say whatever you want", in my limited experience I concur. As a young adult musical theatre student I had two different ballet instructors and they both took one look at me and said "so you've got scoliosis huh?" IT WAS NEWS TO ME!! 😂
This was one of my favourite episodes being a former ballet dancer. They arrived at the audition venue with colourful booty shorts and hideous costumes and the moms had to run around last minute to find plain black leotards. Hilarious!!!
You weren’t missing anything with Dance Moms…it was basically a show about child abuse, where they danced…and got yelled at a lot, and the girls were regularly in serious emotional distress, and the Mom’s were…a mess…and Abby (the dance instructor) liked to yell at them, criticize the girls and their parents personally far beyond anything that would be a dance correction. I enjoy some trash TV, but this was just too hard for me to take. I feel for those poor girls, and I hope they made enough money from the show to pay for all the psychological therapy they are likely going to need.
depends on the studio environment you grew up around. the show was realistic and nostalgic for a lot of older dancers, which was appealing in spite of the abuse.
Don't do it Josephine! Don't watch dance moms. Those poor kids! I did competition dance as a teen and it was more musical theater performance definitely not ballet. I wouldn't have stepped into a ballet audition doing it but ballet was my foundation for it.
Agred. The show is about a really damaged woman emotionally abusing these incredibly talented and hardworking kids while she gaslights and screams at a bunch of wine moms.
I really love when traditionally ballet has a ...respectful...amount of other spices to it. Like that Brooke could get her body to do that is IMPRESSIVE. The best bet for a ballet audition? Nope. These girls were led astray. But had Abby not sucked all the fun out of dance for these girls, Brooke could have been a badass for Cirque de Soleil.
Nia and Holly are two of my favorites, but I gotta admit I legit gasped and laughed at the same time when she did the death drop! 🤣 I mean it was a pretty solid drop, but sweetie you’re at a BALLET AUDITION, I mean like….😭 And the judge’s face after is freakin’ priceless🤣
The show was lowkey traumatic, the screams, the hypocrite people, the teacher... i can't imagine how it was for the girls, even tho it was kinda scary it started my love for dance, and now that I know, contemporary dance, hiphop and a little more. Dance moms was much more of a gimnastic-jazz thing i think.
I like these videos, but they’re so short :( Like, I would love if you actually commented on the video, instead of just the reaction itself. What did you think of the judges reaction on young girls? Did you think it was harsh/adequate? What is your take on the heavy makeup for the young girl? Do you like it, or not so much? What is your experience/knowledge on dancers who are not so experienced in ballet, when it comes to getting into ballet schools? Like, I love your videos, and would really love getting to know a bit more about your opinions :)
I think the specific clip they used really lacked an ability for her to give an opinion. It was pretty bad looking at the judges’ expression, but none of the girls really did any ballet for her to comment on. Have you watched her video on the Disney Plus Ballet series?? And I highly recommend watching it because it really was good on showcasing different levels of ballet.
I love watching Josephine react! And I'm so glad "competition" dance didn't exist when I was little. We still had teachers with canes ready to smack us in the ankles...
The only episode I saw was the fan dance episode. My soul left my body when they suggested skin tone leotards and sparkly briefs for these children. Never watched again.
@@Zoe_lou the intent of the costume is literally for them to look like naked show girls. That whole dance is based off of Vegas show girls… it’s so bad that lifetime literally doesn’t have anything to do with the episode listed anymore, RU-vid or on their app.
I’m pretty sure that the Joffrey ballet school was offering different styles of dance scholarships so the girls that did acro were auditioning for an acro scholarship but I could be wrong
Hey friends! Producer, Jazley here. This short clip we found actually didn't include Chloe or Maddie's audition - you can watch the clip here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xVvNeHeOG6A.html But I hear you...soooo, part 2?? 😂
i had a week where I was just binge-ing Dance Moms clips so this was fun to watch 👀 Edit: ngl it was entertaining to some degree since the girls are talented dancers, but watching the drama parts was just 😬😬😬
"Do you think you need that much make-up in a ballet audition?" Savage! I want that lady to narrate every second of my life, I want her to do those movie plot summary videos, I want her to judge televised talent shows. I was today-old when I realised I need this woman in my life!
Just saying for anyone who hasn’t watched dance moms It was their dance teacher who choreographed their auditions and the girls didn’t get much say in what they performed
That infuriates me more, I was sitting here like "why weren't they better prepared by the adults for this audition" they didn't seem to know what was expected of them.
I’ve watched the entire show like every season and episode. Interestingly about that episode Maddie got the lyrical scholarship, Chloe got the ballet and Brooke received the acro. None of them could attend the school though because the show restricted them so much.
Is it real that the moms really argue the way they did in all the episodes? I come from an Asian background and I can't imagine moms arguing between themselves in every dance class in real life.
@@pandabbbb in the actual dance competition world, no the moms don’t fight like they did on the show. It’s kind of debatable if the fight on the show were real. There definitely were some that were completely real (Cathy and Abby really did hate each other for awhile) but the moms were required to cause drama or they’d be kicked from the show. Sometimes they’d literally be told that they (moms and kids) couldn’t leave the studio until the moms fought, this is why there are so many random fights about things that seemingly don’t matter. Because they choose a random topic and had a fight about it so their kids could go home and go to sleep.
I think what Josephine is getting at, is the choice of material. Any of those girls could have had good ballet foundation, but you wouldn’t know it from what the parents chose for their audition choreography.
@@JessieBanana 1) the parents didn’t choose, Abby did. 2) they were going for different scholarships. I don’t know exactly who auditioned for what but I know Chloe got one for ballet (which we see on the show), Maddie got one for contemporary, and Brooke got one for Afro. Although none of them were able to attend due to filming
If you want a word for that, there's a German one that (I think) is kinda like what you are looking for. It is called "Fremdschämen", which means feeling awkward or embarrassed for someone else eventhough you are not in their situation or place, just by looking at them.
could you react to more of dance moms? especially like season 2? what really bothered me was you didnt react to maddie, chloe, and kendall. but you should totally binge watch it it’s really addicting
There are 8 seasons but the first 4 are worth binge watching lol. Especially the first 2. After that it gets kitschy but Seasons 3 and 4 are mostly fine.
The judges' faces! 😂 I'm dead. How I went to and remember auditions. Black leotard, pink tights, hair in bun, no makeup. No tricks. Good, clean techniques. Make sure number was displayed precisely as they instructed. 😂 Memory flood. Hair ties, bobby pins, hairspray (it was the 80s, so the bun didn't move! Lol), the butterflies...
Literally how come I never realized that they were Competition dancers auditions for a ballet school. 🤣 yes, you should totally watch dance moms it’s pretty good.
"like me following Amazon reviews" LOL I, like you, have never seen a single episode of this show, but your reactions have made me think I should binge it immediately. This was great!
I know this was a pre set up thing for the show, but i can’t believe Abby would agree to this, it makes her look like she knows nothing as a dancer sending her students to do tricks for Joffrey ballet 🤣
Ugh I have such a crush on her she's just so pretty and has such a CUTE personality ;_; I wanna get fitted one day but I feel like I'd die of quietly suppressed gay the whole time lmao
I want to watch you react to dance moms. It’s so different from what the dance world is actually like and I would love to see your reaction! (But you should react to a season 3,4, or 5 episode. Those seasons are probably the most entertaining.)
YES! There are actually videos on YT that are dedicated to all the times they went to competitions and tried to do "ballet" numbers and it usually went horribly 😅
Josephine, as a former target I mean student of the Toxic Mr Christopher Roberts, watching Dance Moms gave me terrible anxiety. Between not giving the girls adequate practice time to learn routines, inappropriate music/costume choices for the age groups and volatile behavior of the studio head and mothers, I wanted to call CPS on all of them. I understand reality is mostly staged but still, children shouldn’t be exposed to any of this.
The judges are COMPLETELY RIGHT on the critics! Those girls should never ever even dared to audition, not with that “choreographies” . There’s a HUGE difference between ballet and competition dance (most of it lies in class)
I love your videos. Whether it's fitting shoes or reacting to someone or something, you find the humour in it and it's just relaxing but your information is educational as well. Along with the humour you have this look of happiness to be doing what you are, and especially when I can't sleep etc, to unwind you are one of my few fave go-to videos. Thank you for being you and for the infectious smile 😃
Screw the video, Josephine's reactions take the cake. I can't stop laughing and agreeing and then laughing again. Honestly, I can't imagine turning my daughter into a sexualized mini-me.
I did ONLY ballet for 22 yrs Dance moms came out when I was already grown YES, YES YOU NEED TO BINGE WATCH IT if you ever were in a quasi serious/serious dance environment. Trust me- you’re gonna be like “yep…. yep… hahahaa i remember someone like that….”
What the bleep was the owner of Dance Moms thinking? I've seen a bit of her personality on Jordan Matter's channel, but I never thought she misunderstood ballet this much. By the way, competitions do include a ballet category, so technically you can be an excellent traditional ballet dancer who also does tricks in jazz, acrobatics and open categories. The 2 are not mutually exclusive.
the best season to watch if you do watch a season would be either season 2 or 4 i feel that they had the majority of the good dances. and higher technique in some of them (im from a dancer background)
“Is this what children look like now?” Josephine is so hysterical, especially when she says what she looked like as a child: “awkward and weird.” Josephine I love you!💕
This episode is among the most produced of the series. I think maybe 3 kids total were instructed to audition with anything resembling ballet, and one of them was featured being told she wore too much makeup. The show wanted big reactions from the judges for everyone but the two favorite who were constantly pitted head to head.
Firstly, the girls are between ages 7-13 I believe here. The first girl would have been about 10/11 and the second girl, was the oldest. But I do agree. For some reason, They’re all stunning. Haha. Secondly, you definitely have to watch Maddie and Chloe’s auditions. They’re much nicer. Also, spoiler, Chloe gets the scholarship and it was a huge deal in that episode.
In defense of the girl with the makeup, that is the standard stage makeup candy apples did for every competition, she probably wasn't told not to do that for the audition
"Should I binge watch this?" Um, let me just say, you could legit dedicate your channel to reviewing Dance Moms episodes and RETIRE. You are precious, your expressions are hilarious, and your expertise is informative and insightful. PLEASE REVIEW DANCE MOMS. LOLOLOL
Please watch all the seasons of Dance Moms. I would love to see you opinion on every part of the show, The dances, the treatment of the dancer, the behavior of the "adults" on the show and so much more!
