If We Produced Dance Moms: How We would have done it
What if the moms had actually run Dance Moms? This week, Melissa, Jill, and Kelly imagine what the show would’ve looked like if they were in charge — from having a child advocate on set to making sure the kids (and moms!) were treated right. Plus, things get personal as Brooke still hasn’t finished her wedding registry, sparking a hilarious debate about how much to give as a wedding gift. The moms also swap Thanksgiving traditions, share their holiday shopping updates, celebrate Paige’s birthday, and dish out plenty of laughs along the way.Have a question for the moms?
