Previously on Dance Moms Miami: Kimmy and Lucas reenacted 9 ½ Weeks; Jessi mouthed off to Susan; Hannah had a meltdown.

The kids line up and Victor praises them for their wins in Orlando and calls them professionals for overcoming such mishaps as music errors and costume malfunctions. Angel, as usual, plays the bad cop and says even though they won, it’s not good enough because not everybody won their category. They need to place higher overall as a studio and I guess sweeping the awards will not fly at Nationals. Shut up, Angel. I know the drama is manufactured in Pittsburgh too, but I feel like those ladies can sell it better.

Time for the List. Lucas is back on top because his duet with Kimmy was the highest-scoring duet of the competition. Kimmy is second for the same reason.

VictAng say the only reason she’s not number one is because she needs to work on “letting go.” Jessi is next, with VictAng calling her solo “phenomenal.” However, they say, she got beat by two nine-year-olds which isn’t cool. It was VictAng who said that, not Susan like I said in the mini. But never fear, Susan is still complaining that she is “disappointed.” Shut up, Susan.

Sammy is fourth because she blended into the group number too much. If they wanted her to stand out so badly, why didn’t they give her a solo? Isn’t the point of a group dance to dance like a group? Aren’t they always yelling at the kids to be tighter and more in unison? Shut up, VictAng.

Finally, Hannah is last again because she cried before going on stage, which Victor says is unacceptable. But Angel says that at least Hannah’s technique is improving. Hannah says being last makes her want to work harder.

This week, Kimmy and Lucas will be rewarded with solos, while Jessi, Sammy and Hannah will be doing a trio. Susan gets all upset and leaves, saying it’s “not fair” to put Jessi with Hannah. Way to be a team player, you dumb bitch.

Totally on board 

Angel tells Jessi that the next time her mother throws a tantrum and walks out like a 4-year-old, Jessi is out as well. Jessi interviews that her mother’s ridiculous temper tantrums and crying jags are “like a roller coaster.” Seriously. Her moods are out of control. Maybe she has a hormone imbalance.

This week’s competition will be at Starbound in Fort Myers. Victor tells says they need to show everyone they are the “bomb.com” because Fort Myers is practically in their backyard. The group number is called “Twisted Circus” and each kid will portray a different creepy circus performer. Personally, I think all circuses are creepy. Also, I keep thinking of Twisted Sister, which would make a totally rad group number, don’tcha think?

I wanna ROCK

Hannah will play a fortune teller gypsy, Sammy a contortionist, Lucas a mime, Jessi will be the “ringleader” (not ringmaster) and Kimmy will play a little girl. Wow, Kimmy actually gets to do something age appropriate. But Kimmy says she wishes she could be something creepier and crazier than just a little girl. Oh well, there is plenty of time, Kimmy. I’m sure you’ll be doing stripper dances before you know it.

In the snakepit, Bob complains about Hannah being on the bottom of the list. Bitchette is all, “you were happy last week when she had a solo so don’t rain on our parade.”

Did someone eat an onion bagel?

Bob’s like “STFU, you stupid whore, this has nothing to do with you.” (I am paraphrasing.) Bitchette apparently thinks everyone is upset about the list and that’s why Susan walked out, but Bob and Abby are like “NO, it’s because she doesn’t want Jessi to dance with Hannah. Get with the program.”

Susan is still outside fuming that her princess has to be subjected to the indignity of dancing with Hannah.

The world is too much with us

    “Bob you are NOT the father”… hahahahaha! Great caption!

    Susan is psycho. Jessi and Hannah dance together every week in the group so what’s the big deal? When she agreed to this show, she knew Jessi would be in a group with younger kids.

    I have a feeling that that practice was already running over by the way Abby was checking her watch. The other mothers were apparently shocked that anyone would place any importance on their child’s education. They are all crazy and at this point I’m rooting for Abby to get the h*ll out of there.

    I didn’t buy the scene with Lucas saying that other kids are saying he’s gay. He sounded totally wooden and rehearsed. I think that was scripted for the show. Plus does a 9 year old know whether he’s gay or not?

    If Susan wants Jessi to be a professional dancer than dancing with less good dancers than you is a good lesson. When you dance professionally everything needs to be together and if the other girls can’t kick as high as you for example. you better learn to lower your kicks then. There was a scene about that in “A Chorus Line”.

    You are right about you are supposed to blend in a group number so that was a stupid thing to criticize Sammy for.

    Love the evil, harpy, and horrible people tags. It’s sad because Victor and Angel are so much nicer than Abby Lee. However, I think if a show must show a kid being driven to tears by an adult, it’s better if the adult isn’t the kid’s own parent.

    I still don’t think Sammy was being as shifty as Bitchette made it sound like. But, even if she was, Bitchette was out of line. I think Sammy, being a skinny girl, hasn’t been the person doing the lifting too often. So, she was thinking too much of the overall dance rather than I am holding up a person and it would be wrong to drop her on her head. But, I like Sammy many hundreds of times more than I like Bitchette. So, there’s that.

    This show drives me insane. I like Sammy as a dancer, I don’t think that she is that snotty, because the only screen time that she gets people is attacking her… I figure the other comment “I’m tall and pretty” was taken out of context. Maybe, not who knows. I don’t hate Abby like I do Susan, Bitchette, and Bob. I don’t like Abby, but I can actually she her point sometimes.

    Jessi, although, more mature than her mother, needs to be taken down a few pegs, cursing in her comments and things like that. I would ground my 14 year old (he’s 11 but same thoughts apply) for behavior like that. But, I”m also not crazy, so maybe it’s different?

    Ani and Kimmie seem to care about grades cause she’s up at 4 finishing homework, but they also live an hour closer to the studio… the others didn’t seem to care at all.

    Someone who is gay can correct me if I’m wrong, here, but I think yes, you do know at 9. And if Lucas is straight, sweet merciful lord, I feel sorry for any girl he ever tries to date. If Bitchette is this much of a conniving bitch about shit that doesn’t involve her, can you imagine when some girl tries to steal her baby away! Talk about a momster-in-law.

    I think Lucas looked incredibly embarassed to be saying that on camera, too, and, if he was, shame on Bitchette for letting the producers put him in that spot.

    I think Abby & Sammy are out of there, and, really, they are two bitches in a pod, but I can’t blame them. they are in a no-win situation here. I’m just ready to go back to Pitt…

    Also, I would like to say that I actually like Jabby…. Yes, she can be mean, but the girls and mothers have said countless times that they don’t ever show her being nice to them and proud of them. I had coaches that pushed me until I was so angry that I never wanted to play again, but they were just trying to reach my potential and made me better. Not every child responds well to that style, if yours doesn’t then take them out of her studio. I think that VicAng just have a different style. I don’t typically like the dances they’ve choreographed, but they do like the interaction with the kids.

    I would like to see Sammy and Abby transfer to Pittsburgh. Sammy seems to have the same style as those girls and I would love to see Melissa get mad about another top dancer coming to threaten Maddy.

    I would like to know how the trio getting second is vindication for Susan. She does realize Jessi has gotten 2nd without being in a trio with Hannah.

    Like everybody else I’m ready for the original DM to come back. At least the moms on their actually seem to care for all the kids and not just their own. And would never make them cry, like Susan did poor Hannah.

    Sammy is just spoiled and her mom makes her worse my telling her it’s OK to lie if you think you’re right. In dance, things to crap and timing is off that doesn’t mean you drop someone. Either you speed up the moves to make up for it or you improvise so your not basically not dumping your partner on their head. There’s been a few times my partner couldnt finish spin or jump but we did not hapahzard anyway so we didnt hurt each other. Sammy strikes me has a person who doesnt like to make herself look bad so she prob figured she should just keep doing what she was supposed to so she looked good and other person didnt. that prob not going to work well if she wants to be a professional. like person said above, everyone needs to look out out for each other (even for their mistakes) so that the group looks good and not just the individual dancer

    People figure out their orientation at different ages– some seem to know their whole lives, and others have an “aha!” moment right after they buy the corvette and cover their greys with thir first box of just-for-men. And of course, with all the “knock it off” commercials these days (and we are talking about MIAMI here, not Podunk Kansas), I’m not sure why it should matter one way or the other. A ponche, for thosevwho wondered, is essentially a position very similar to a split, but with one foot on the ground and the other over your head. Anyone who has done any sort of partnering (dance, cheer, skating, etc) can tell you that when lifts fail, it is nearly always the fault of both parties.

    I am cracking up laughing at this recap & the comments. I hate the way the original Dance Mom’s Abby treats the kids but the moms are a little better than this group of hell cats. Victor & Angel seem to have good relationships with all of the kids. What the hell is wrong with Susan??? WTH stay with a dance studio for 7 yrs and then start questioning everything they do??? Maybe the network has her playing it up for ratings, but whatever she is bipolar.

    My daughter stopped taking dance years ago but is it normal for the moms to just sit around fighting like they do on these shows??? I hope this is for tv. I wanted my dd to keep dancing but when I see this, I am glad she moved on to other things.

    @P-G – I know what you are saying about the lifts. Our studio did a big production Fosse type number and at one part our male dancer was supposed to lift our smallest girl over his head and she leaned back and that lift never worked because she never fully relaxed and trusted him, she even said the lift gave her a panic attack. She fell forward every time. Finally they had to change it so she sat on his shoulder. So I can see where Sammy was coming from. But basically I think she didn’t want Vic/Ang to think it was 100% her fault and they didn’t.

    Jessi is a brat because her mom lets her get away with it. I do understand that my 15 year old would get smacked but seriously, Susan was driving her nuts. There is only so much the kid can take. And to Susan…ummmm you seemed to get all teary and pissy when everyone was fighting regarding Victor’s “illness” in the first episode that it was distracting you precious snowflake from pre-performance meditation time, but if you pitch a fit and distract her prior to going onstage it’s okay?

    Bitchette must be very bored in her everyday life to get so much excitement by stirring up so much shit. And ash1 is right, god help any woman that marries Lucas. For the new wife’s sake, hopefully they will move across the country and she only visits once a year.

    Abby, my only advice to you is…….RUN!!!!

    I remember the good old days. When 16 and Pregnant was the show that got me thinking about kids that need to be adopted out to a good home.

    I’ve had gays tell me they knew sort of, but didn’t really care when they were little kids since little kids don’t have relationships. But, these were people much older than Lucas. Kids now are feel like they have to think about it which is stupid if they are too young to care yet. And I suspect some don’t know for certain until they start dating.

    However, I watched a couple of Victor’s performances from season six/2009 SYTYCD. He danced like he was in love with Channing and did a blackbird dance with her that has influenced the heck out of young dancers. So, I think this is what Lucas is coping.

    Angel tweeted that Stars offers scholarships to male dancers. So, Bitchette needs to calm herself down. Lucas is (or was) getting special treatment. Unlike with Abby Lee, it seems the girls are still getting evenly taught and only vary due to skill level. But, it is what it is. If anyone knows a good male dancer in the Miami area, they might want to check Stars.

    It pisses me off that Susan believes she accomplished something. Besides making her own daughter stressed and miserable and making Hannah cry and I’m sure it had to be odd for Sammy as well… I don’t see it. My fiance said Jessi walked back in the dressing room to get with the other girls like she was walking to her own execution. Jessi loves her crazy mother, but she has to stand up to her. She has to follow her teachers’ advice. They do seem to want the best for her.

    I also think Lucas’ bullying confession was scripted, or at least played up quite a bit. The whole thing was just too convenient. And the fact that is was just a 90 second blurb that had nothing to do with the rest of the episode makes it even more suspect.

    Didn’t Lucas mention being bullied when they did the insecurities dance? VictAng didn’t address it at time or at least we didn’t see them talk about it. So maybe producers wanted Lucas to bring it up again, since bullying is this big issue right now.

    Posted May 18, 2012 at 11:01 pm

    Yes, Lucas’s “insecurity” was that he gets made of at school for dancing. I had a different take on why he looked awkward during that talk with Victor. I thought it was hard for him to tell a gay guy (Victor) that he feels bad when people think he’s gay. Lucas’s mugging for the camera during interviews and at the award ceremonies gets on my nerves, but I don’t think he’s a fake kid deep down.

    Every episode Angel has made a comment about Lucas needing to get out of his house or away from his mom. The camera always pans to Bitchette and she laughs in a resigned kind of way. This intrigues me.

    Posted May 18, 2012 at 11:04 pm

    Yes. He mentioned it when they did insecurities. I think they meant to cover it then, but I think Susan had a meltdown or someone had a fit about poor Hannah.

    They act like Hannah is falling all over herself out there, but she seems o.k. to me. Yes, a weaker dancer, but someone will always be the weaker dancer. She seems like she can keep up which is Bob’s main claim about her. And she is getting better.

    I wonder if some of this Lucas being bullied stuff was actually filmed for that episode, so that is why it seems so out of place in this one.

    Maryedith, I think you are right… he doesn’t want to hurt Victor’s feelings. I don’t think the little bit Lucas said would hurt Victor, but Lucas doesn’t know that.

    I think Lucas is more sensitive than harpy-mom and it bothers him when he sees that she hurts people. Such as, I certainly do not think he EVER wanted her to yell at Sammy. He wasn’t calling Sammy out like Bitchette was saying. He just wanted Kimmie to feel better. After all, he knows Kimmie has never lifted anyone. She’s so tiny, who could she lift? So, he knows she doesn’t know both sides of the equation.

    But, Bitchette is too much. She, like Susan, will drive her kid away if she doesn’t tone things down.

    I read what I wrote before… obviously, Susan also wants what is best for Jessi. But, she is too emotional to be objective. VictAng are putting these girls together so they can learn from one another. And it has worked. I think all three girls have shown improvements. They also can learn spacing. And Abby Lee always says trio spacing is hard (granted, she has younger kids mostly). I know AL has her faults, but I think she’s right about that. So, that seems like a good thing for Jessi to learn.

    Kimmie is so cute I failed to notice how hideous her solo costume is and her makeup is rough as well. There must have been a brawl in the dressing room that Mayra was eager to join. Ani is really a nice lady. And notice how VictAng continue to give her daughter parts without her screaming at them? Yeah, because Kimmie is one of their dancers, so they want her to do well.

    I cannot even believe Team Harpy(tm) was pissed about Ricky coming in to help Lucas. He’s just another student. I am sure there are older girls Victor can get to come in and dance beside their daughters for a few minutes if it’d shut them up for a minute so he doesn’t have to rehearse in the parking lot.

    @gun kata, I hated that part about Ricky helping Lucas because it smacked of producer interference. It was too much a rerun of the whole “Maddie gets private lessons” nonsense from Pittsburgh.

    As far as knowing whether you’re gay or not — I think that must depend on the individual to a large extent. I was kind of in love with everyone until I was about 16, if I’m honest with myself.

    @momma1, I don’t know about this show but on the Pittsburgh one they make it seem that Abby requires the moms to stay and watch rehearsals. I suspect the producers would make the moms stay in any case because there would hardly be a show otherwise, but I always feel like I’m participating in a fake as hell situation by watching it. Every time Abby or Vict/Ang yell at the moms I think, “They could just tell them to LEAVE and the situation would be totally solved.”

    NO ONE watched when I was in dance. The studio itself didn’t even have windows into the room. Your mom dropped you off and came back when it was over. I think this is a relatively new thing, having come along in the 90s with all the helicopter parents demanding to see every step. My teachers would have told them to go find another studio!

    The producers are the ones that require the moms to be there. Accoffing to Abby lee, the moms of her “real” team don’t stay, and usually don’t even go to competitions.

    The whole point of the “ballet recital” was originally to give the parents a chance to see what the kids were doing, because staying to watch class just wasn’t an option, it would be like going to school and sitting it you kid’s classroom!

    All of these girls are very talented but I haven’t liked the choreography for any of the dances. It looks like everyone is kind of just doing pose after pose and everything they do in between in just set ups to do the poses. Its uninteresting. Cant wait to be back with pittsburgh!

    So, did the producers have to install the glass window and the viewing room for the moms in both studios? In both cases, close enough to distract the hell out of the kids and the teachers? That must have caused some disturbance in the studios! Sucks to be an Abby Lee or Stars dancer who’s not on the show.
