"The funniest thing was we were in hell, but you guys had your own version of hell going on," Christi reflects to our very receptive panel of guests. This week we welcome to the Barre our favorite Dance Mom Producers: Annie, Erin and Chris! If it's Dance Moms goss you're looking for, there's no better place to start than right here. No ones made it through the Dance Moms grinder in quite the same way, they've all got stories to tell and boy do they have a lot to say when we get them all together.
A fun twist now that so much time has passed is all of our guests have become parents themselves. So we want to know, how differently does it make them think about their time on the show? Do some moments seem a bit more cagey in hindsight? Would they have approached the work any differently? Speaking of work what was it like to actually work with Abby on a day to day basis? Was she really that difficult to work with (probably) and if so what's their craziest Abby story?
Plus of course we had to ask them all about what it was like to produce some of the craziest s**t ever put on television. Chris was there during the walk to prison! He did the walk too but had to lug around equipment! There's just no end to the amount of stories they have to share. They've all gone on to have fairly broad careers in both reality TV and elsewhere, but Dance Moms will always be their mark on the culture, the thing they'll be asked about for the rest of their lives. So we'll just have to keep asking!
Quotes
“[Kira] was tough. She was basically not producible." (19:08-19:11 | Chris)
"Did any of you ask Abby after the fight like why was she trying to bite Kelly?" (41:54-41:59 | Christi)
“Such good war stories this show. I feel like some of my best memories are from the show." (47:14-47:18 | Erin)
“You had a Candy Apples soft spot cause you were there. Yeah I was there a lot in Canton. Well I was there too with you and I didn't have a soft spot." (50:48-50:55 | Erin, Chris & Annie)
