Reception

Season 1 cast members, excluding Cathy Nesbitt-Stein and Vivi-Anne Stein.

Dance Moms received heavy criticism upon its premiere in 2011. Metacritic which assigns a rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, gives the drama a 56% rating based on 4 reviews, indicating a mixed or average rating.[10]

Once you get past the reality-TV grabbers, you realize that while there is some of that, more importantly there's a lot of Miller. It is great to watch her work.

— Linda Stasi, New York Post

The new worst show on television debuted Wednesday night on Lifetime—Dance Moms, an ugly docu-circus featuring a megaton bully of a Pittsburgh dance instructor, the little princesses she costumes as lunatic street whores, and a quorum of strenuously pathetic stage mothers, one of whom warbles that she would slit her wrists if her daughter even thought of trying out for softball.

— Troy Patterson, Slate
