The fact they choreographed the dance themselves is actually very impressive. 💯

i agree with holly, the dance was extremely offensive. it was so disrespectful to people whom actually need walkers to get around. why abby even thought this would be a good dance idea is beyond me. it was incredibly rude. i’m glad the moms didn’t let abby go thru with the dance.

The fact that they choreographed this themselves and won first place says a lot and you can see that Abby didn't pike that she didn't have any credit in it.

[morganerror]

I actually love this dance. It was so nice that everyone got a special part and it was so quiet on stage. Everyone stood out.

[arcie]

It’s nice seeing the moms stand up for something together 😭

[assundamcdonagh]

I really believe that Abby didn't like when the announcer asked the ALDC Elite Team "who choreographed the dance" and when they replied "us". I bet she was hoping they would say "Abby Lee Miller". Jealous much Abby as your routine suked to begin with.

The way Abby is talking about how she’d never want to offend the elderly, she also thinks she’s not racist and has literally told Nia, the only black girl on the team, that Kalani was ‘more African’ than her… so

[_.alizwa]

i don't get the use of these walkers. it is really disrespectful and insensitive to older people, regardless of the message that is trying to be conveyed.

[ArtisticMusicRebel]

I think it would’ve been nice if the elite team did a dance representing their mothers in an honorable way. Like Nia representing her mom, Kalani representing her mom and so on. Just thought that would’ve been a cool concept 😅

I used a walker for 6 months after I had a catastrophic stroke and my friend used a walker after a deadly car accident. That dance was not only offensive, but it made a complete mockery of the disabled. Both permanently disabled as well as temporarily. I was only temporarily disabled and I was offended from the second I saw those walkers. Don’t even get me started on the dance. I knew from the second I saw those walkers that things were going downhill. Thank you moms for sticking up for people who can’t speak for themselves… and shame on you Abby.

[Elecia]

They would have gotten so much backlash. People of all ages use walkers, so that wouldn’t have went over well.

[turg_furious]

This dance concept has been done before…by minis. It’s no way a teen/senior dance. I don’t blame the girls or moms for not wanting to do it.

kendall’s smile faded when jill came in 😢

[NiamhOgborne]

For once the moms agree with each other rather than arguing

[Gabbythebaker]

JoJo was beautiful in this dance, and I love the girls costume

[emmavandriessche]

Abby celebrating when they got 1st place knowing she didn't choreograph a count is so wrong!

[sjtv]

Im so glad they didnt perform that dance, from the rehearsal footage that was shown it looked extremely offensive

[abstractabby]

What’s funny to me is this is the one they refused to do and not the countless of other innapropriate or insensitive dances 😂😂

[nrvalq]

In my opinion, the dance is so beatiful and creative, I'm Impressed because Abby let the girls create their dance Abby rarely lets anyone get in the way of her plans. That's so amazing! I love the choreography.

Holly being the only one who hasn't sweared on this show
