Summary

Jill, Melissa, and Kelly are comparing the way they grew up to the way their kids were raised, and let’s just say…this generation may not know how to write a check, but they can navigate airports better than most adults! The moms talk about how growing up traveling the world through dance shaped their girls in ways they never experienced as kids. They also react to fans saying they “grew up with them” on TV and wonder if Dance Moms accidentally helped raise an entire generation. Plus, the moms weigh in on the viral “divorce effect” trend and debate why everyone seems to glow up after a split. And of course, they answer one of the questions fans have always wanted to know: did the girls compete with other routines at competitions that viewers never saw on the show? Kelly is also celebrating a birthday! Have a question for the moms? Leave a voice message at  https://www.speakpipe.com/deardancemom  and you might be part of a future show! Hosted on Acast.
