    Amazing Show

    This show who is hosted and judged by the renowned Abby Lee Miller, along with her other two judges Richard Jackson, and Robin Antin. Have a dozen talented young female and male dancers which are aged six through thirteen that compete every week in different styles of dance, each week one of the dancers is voted off the show by the judges. The children aren't just looking to win the title of Abby's Ultimate Dancer but also a $100,000 cash prize as well as a scholarship to the Young Dancer Program at the Joffrey Ballet School. The mothers push their children to be the best and are demanding. The mothers on this show cause drama just like the mother's from Abby Lee Miller's other hit show Dance Moms. On Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition Abby comes up with ideas and themes for the dances style that week. Some weeks children can do a special kind of challenge that can award them with helpful tools, such as casting who is going to be in what dance that week, or what order the dancers will go on stage. Its a reality game show with talented children, demanding mothers, hard judges, and all the drama that you would expect to ensue. But the show is entertaining and fun to watch. It is quite enjoyable and worth a watch.

    This show can't "compete" with "Dance Moms"

    I thought this was supposed to be a dance competition not about the backstage drama? Those mothers are awful people. The difference between this show and "Dance Moms" is that the children on the original show are very talented and the show is promoted as being about the backstage drama. This was supposed to be about the dance. What a joke.

    Say what you want about Abby being nasty... she knows her stuff. The level of talent on the original show is head and shoulders above the dancers not trained by her.

    Those "Dance Moms" might be screwballs but their kids HAVE talent and Abby IS bringing it out of them.

    The only thing these mother's of the "Competition" show should do is get refunds from the dance studios where they sent these sad kids.

    Hmmm

    I like the show, but agree with someone else that it's not as great as Dance Moms. I mostly wanted to leave this review out of concern for some things I saw. The high level of narcissism in Yvette, her child Hadley, and Jordyn concerned me. Jordyn in particular reminded me of a child I nanny who is a know-it-all and never learns from her mistakes because she always thinks she's right. Jordyn has zero respect for her mother. But that might be a result of the harsh criticism her mom constantly gives her.

    Yvette is a beeyotch...and her kid is following suit. I've never seen a mean girl that young. Hope they humble themselves and learn from their mistakes because they aren't all that...but they probably won't.

    And poor Lexine. Her mom is atrocious in terms of moral support. What a bully! Stop beating your kid down, lady. Maybe then she'll stand out.

    love this show

    I'm really upset that you guys sent Zack home..I truly believe others should have went first. He was a great dancer and with 1 mistake you sent him home. But some of the girls have made mistakes more then a couple times and they are still there I'm very disappointed in the decision to send him home..But I'm very interested to see who wins!!!:-) :-) :-)..Abby I also want to tell you that you are a great dance instructor.... And I hope your girls back at home know how lucky they are to have you..And Asia you are a magnificent dancer I'm shocked I had no idea a 6 yr.old child could dance that well you rock it out there honey..

    I never miss an episode

    I am a huge fan of Abby Lee Miller; she knows her business she is not afraid to point out even the least of flaws. As for all the dancers each one of you are so talented and beautiful. The dancers have greatly improved even from the first episode. It is nice to see the result of hard work and dedication. Hats off to all the youth that participated in this show. You all are all truly a breath of fresh air. I wish you all much success in your dance careers, and look forward to future Ultimate Dance Competition shows. Every week I am on the edge of my seat in anticipation of the next weeks' elimination. It is a nice way to tide over the Abby Lee Miller fans until the season 3 premiere of Dance Moms. I have enjoyed the Ultimate Dance Competition and am extremely anxious to finally see the first ever winner crowd for Abby Lee Miller's Ultimate Dance Competition.
