I just love how you talk about all the girls like they’re your own. You can see the amount of love you have for them and I think it’s so sweet!! I’m so glad that all of you managed to get out of such a toxic environment and let your relationships flourish without the constant stress and tension of the show.
Remember Christi screamed at Melissa talking shit about her in front of her daughters, Maddie and Kenzie were crying, Melissa told Christi her girls were crying, but Christi didn't listen 😂 she acted like a bully in front of 2 little girls
@@MasonHuckabone my point is Christi is not what most people think she is. Iconic? LOL. She also once yelled at Paige screaming shit about Kelly until Paige cried. No other dance moms did that to Chloe.
Christi truly was/is that mom who looked out for all the girls. She never looked out just for her daughter as many others did. In the end that backfired which wasn’t her fault.
Most of the drama she got into was because she was pointing out the favoritism (Wich affected every girl and not only Chloe) or she was looking out for the sake of the girls Like when she said that Mackenzie and Maddie were spending too much time in the studio and didn't had time to be normal kids
@@leticiagraziele6428 Christi was the ONLY mom that ever stood up for Maddie and called out how Abby’s treatment also affected Maddie negatively and yet she was always accused of being jealous of her.. ridiculous.
The one thing I always noticed in the show is how no matter how the producers tried to portray the relationships amongst you all, *most* of the moms seemed genuinely happy for all of the girls not just their own and it was always nice to see.
yes! there was so many times multiple moms celebrated victory’s even if if wasn’t their own kid! for example when Nia got the scholarship for most improved dancer melissa and holly hugged
@@ryanwwolfe Melissa only really cared about the girls she didn’t see as a threat to Maddie. Melissa was lowkey mean to Chloe a number of times and was also nasty to Brynn. People always bring up her crying for Paige as an example of her caring for the other girls but we really don’t even know for sure what she was crying about and she only cared for girls that weren’t a threat to Maddie.
I love how you talk about Kenzie’s CRY solo. In that episode YOU say my favourite quote of DanceMoms, “you don’t have to be maddie, you can be mackenzie, Kenzie is just as special” .. it not only was the most empowering to say to Kenzie right there, it’s so beautiful to hear someone tell a kid that they are perfect how they are and they don’t have to be someone else. Just like you I always love to see how confident Kenzie went onto that stage and did that solo which was putting here straight up against her own sister, and Kenzie killed that solo, even with major stress and sacredness that came with it.
@@aizexez agreed. and people still say that she hates Maddie and Kenzie but the way she talks about them you can tell she really doesn't. She clearly loves them
I honestly think Nia's solos as she got older became so much better because she was growing into herself. And I always enjoyed watching Brook just because she made everything look so easy.
Yeah but remember that's when other people started choregraphing her dances after Abby pretty much gave up on the team and other people believed in her so they gave her better choreography and advice and then she won Nationals 🏆 Abby never believed in her and set her up for failure. She got a different teacher and she won yay Nia....
LOLOL... right, cause she liked a dance she did, she wasn't jealous? Go back and watch all the old episodes, where she would roll her eyes and complain "Oh Maddie gets better choreography, oh Abby set it up so the talent scout saw Maddie." Anyone who is not on the Chloe and Christy pity train saw that Maddie was 100 times better, even talent scouts and music executives saw it. She was in the studio in the off season working her butt off while the Lusuckiacs were off at meet n greets trying to further sell their victim story, and most of you buy it. Then Christi undermines the teacher right infront of Chloe and instills in her mind that she is a victim, and you wonder why Chloe wasn't motivated to dance? and that's exactly why she peaked talent wise when she was 9. sad but true.
@@BIGBOYMATD harsh but true. I like Christi for the most part but it did start to irritate me how she constantly made excuses. Favoritism in the studio is not the reason Maddie is still a successful working dancer. She was given the favoritism because they saw how dedicated and passionate she was. Chloe was still given many opportunities to shine. Next to Maddie she was easily the child with the most solos. The broadway agent in s1 saw both Maddie and Chloe perform individually and he chose Maddie. Sia watched the show and obviously saw something in Maddie, not Chloe, despite the show being edited in Christi and Chloe’s favor to make them look like the sympathetic underdogs. At a certain point you have to get real and just admit that your kid doesn’t want it as bad or simply doesn’t perform well under pressure. But she never will of course.
Honestly the only enemies are the producers, lifetime and Abby herself being a terrible person even before the show. All the other moms and kids have defended each other saying that Christi wasn’t jealous, Maddie was not even close to being a brat, Brooke wasn’t a moody teen and Jill wasn’t a crazy mom who was just “my little Kendall” 24/7 This show did more bad than good to everyone’s reputation so I honestly feel bad for them.
@@BIGBOYMATD y’all realize she wasn’t jealous of Maddie but the way ABBY was treating Maddie in comparison to the other girls. She always made sure to tell Maddie how proud she was and to go a good job. Plus, the producers told them to say/do certain things as well as cut/edit to make things worse for the seaman element of the show.
@@goldrush18x true, you can’t really pinpoint who is the victim and who is the villain because everyone’s perspective is valid. Abby did set Chloe up very often, but at the same time Maddie simply was the harder worker. Of course we can take into account the reason why Chloe wasn’t as much of a hard worker, since Abby tried to tear her down every week. But Abby mainly did that because she didn’t like Christi, and projected that onto Chloe. There were just some times when Christi would victimize Chloe and herself too much that of course Chloe would use that as an excuse to not improve. Maddie worked even harder because naturally she wanted it and her skills were praised (unlike the others). So there’s just so many things that go into it, that you can’t really just pick one side and act like it’s 100% correct
“Nia I felt, always had a funky jazz, musical theatre, or something really offensive.” - Christi 2022 The funny part was that it was so true Edit: Oh my god thanks for over 1100 likes!
When you were talking about how cool Brooke was with the girls when they were itty bitty even though she didnt have to be I immediately thought of the episode where Brooke got on the cheerleading squad and the girls came over to celebrate and how Kenzie literally launched herself into Brookes arms and the rest of the girls piled on. A 13/14 year old could be totally annoyed by that but you could see she was genuinely glad they were there
That scene was so cute, when Chloe hugged her and Mackenzie kissed her and said they missed her so much. It’s so sweet and Brooke was so sweet to them. It’s almost like Brooke knew that she was that cool older sister that the little ones wanted to be bc they thought she was cool and she loved them for it and didn’t push them away.
The Producers didn't show enough of the friendship and support the girls did have. Hanging out outside the show and comforting each other. And laughing and being juveniles.
Just watched a Q and A on Melissa's channel that she recently did with Brooke. They talk about how when Kenzie was tiny, she was aaaalways attached to Brooke's hip like a little doll. So so sweet and endearing that they had that relationship. I'm glad they all still keep in touch.
I love that she never once compared them to Chloe and just tallied great things about each girl! I fell like if Jill tried to do this she would say “But my Kendall…” after every compliment.
I love how she’s not ashamed to talk about her experience on dance moms. I feel like all the other girls and moms try avoiding It now but she actually tells us about her time there which I rlly appreciate as a massive dance moms fan.

My fav solos from each dancer Chloe: Dream on a star Paige: Make some noise Maddie: The hostage Kenzie: Sink or swim or Boom boom Brooke: Supermodel or Purple reign Nia: Goodbye Maya Kendall: Applause or Troublemaker
Christi you’re so nice and kind towards the girls and you had every right to be angry, not that you are angry. I remember when miss Abby was comparing Kenz to Maddie and you were just like I don’t exactly know what you said but you said something and it was like “you go out there and me Mackenzie you don’t need to be maddie kenzie is just as good.” You look out for all the other girls and no shade to Melissa but when Melissa was standing up for Abby and not kenz or maddie you always not to Abby you just talked to them and made sure they were okay and I loved when you hugged Paige after Abby threw the chair at her (or didn’t idk) and Kelly went to stand up for her and stand up for her daughter I just loved you by far you are definitely and always will be my fave dance moms and I know you would get in there and fight for the girls again today if you needed to!!! Love you Christi keep up the good work!! ❤❤❤
I recently got to to see "home again" and it is my favorite group dance now. Stunning. I wish they show the whole number, even when Maddie was last off stage and gave it that extra emotion.
I love how you ranked both solos Chloe did recently and solos the other girls did. I think you and Kelly should do a video of both of your favorite solos both Brooke and Paige did. I think that would be interesting and really fun
I could tell that VooDoo Doll Choreography was geared towards Chloé. Kendall’s dance would’ve had a front aerial at the time if was geared towards her. I 1000% believe that Chloé would’ve won the national title if she performed VooDoo Doll.
I've been binge watching dance moms and you were my favorite dance mom. You never took any crap and stood up for what was right. I just hate to know producers were the one making most of the problems! I danced for 14 years and watching the show brings back so many memories.
My favorite solo from Chloe is always Soaring. I loved Maddie's solo happiness. I love purple Rain for Brooke. Paige's favorite solo of mine was the one on the gym floor and she had the orange outfit. My favorite Kendall solo was battled feet. Kalanis is always fragile forest or Say Something. I love all the girls from the show!
I've always thought that Christi was and is a great mother. Chloe grew up being this adorable and polite girl, Clara seems to follow Chloe's footsteps, I mean, there is no secrets. I've always loved Chloe on DM
4:00 finally somebody recognises vivi as an OG member because she was there in the first episode I know that she was only there until episode 6, 7, 8. I forgot but it still counts.
love your videos, by far the most iconic Dance mom! And btw Chloe was and still is my favourite dancer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She was raised by amazing parents, you taught her how to be supportive and a good sport when she lost!!!!!! Hope everyone's doing well and stay happy and healthy.
I currently have covid and today is the first day I feel well enough to leave my bed. This was such a good video, I love how you speak about each of the girls. I wish the show would've shown all the love you guys had for each other more than the drama
i really respect christi for walking away from dance moms when things got beyond, it shows that her daughter and their mental health were more important than publicity. i defiantly respect that
My favorite Chloe solo was the last one she did when the irreplaceables won with survivor at nationals. It made me cry knowing what Chloe went through. I still rewatch it to this day. In that episode too I also really love Nias solo
It makes me happy that you still talk about Dance Moms and don't pretend that it didn't happen! Some others won't even mention it. For those of us who are fans, it's nice to know you have some happy memories! 🥰
I agree Disappear was my favorite Maddie performance cause it was just something nobody else would create and Maddie pulled it off like a professional. As for Brooke. The Apple (Eve) number. My mom watched it and just gasped. I think we both watched it multiple times before we could talk and be like Dang! That was great! So ya, I agree with you on most :)
When Christi chose cry for Kenzie it was just a ahh❤ moment for me because in that episode Christi said to Kenzie “u go out there and you be Mackenzie u dont have to be Maddie its better to be u because ur ur own special self” or smth like that💚🫶🏽
I love the way she spoke about the girls regardless of anything that happened with the moms you can tell she loves them 🤍 absolutely love the dance moms videos x
It’s great she thinks fondly about all the kids. The show was so much drama about the kids. But this shows how much Christi loves all the girls like her own.
Disappear is also one of my favorite Maddie dances and is also one of the reasons for one of my favorites Abby moments. I don’t know why but that moment where they’re walking back stage and she says “I’m gonna hold your hand so that people know you’re with me” just always got me a certain way.
Parallel Universe: Maddie did a re-do of disappear as her last solo, but they switched up the story line so that it was both the hostage story, but also a farewell to the show since it’s “disappear”
Christi cared for maddie and kenzie, if u remember those moments ur true, and when nia was upset it made me tear when christi said nia was the best, she rlly was :(
Honestly Christy is the best dance mom ever because she is one of the parent that acts correctly and she stands up for any child at any time and she never try’s to boost Chloe with a gift or anything.
Christi, Holly, & Kelly r the moms that most definitely cared for all of the kids and treated them as their own. They are my fav moms for a reason, during arguments w Abby that got bad it was one of them three that got the kids out of the room. Love them sm
hi christi i love the videos your videos get better everytime you post a videos🥰 keep up the great work making more amazing videos ❤ your next youtube videos you should do behind the scenes of clara baby photos/ rare baby of clara
This is me realizing the Brooke was in high school while all the other girls were in like elementary school and they were still all so close and nice to each other, it very much reminds me of my old studio and I miss that vibe
I feel like Christi was one of the better mom's on the show, she was never the type of mom that was like 'why are you crying' and she always stood up for, not only Chloe, but all the girls there
“She had good feet,Nia I got your back” It was so cute tu when Kenz did the solo Cry Christi told Kenz to just be herself and not Maddie Christi is the mom everyone wants Un like Melissa who pretty much just cared for Maddie until she went to go work on her movie😊❤
the show and thos OG girls has never lost their fan base. I'm glad the Mom's and the girls get to talk about what they want to here or on social media. I wish them all well !
I love that you choose Cry for Mackenzie, you comforting Mackenzie before she went on stage was so awesome. But I do have to say that I think you might have forgot about Asia from season 3? Anyway love your vids so much and loving the dm content!
Christi, you chose the dances where you talked to them and comfort them like with Maya - Nia and Cry - Mackenzie because the fact that Mackenzie was forced to be like her sister was not okay and Christi said to be yourself. Nia cried because she thought that she was going to get kicked out but then Christi was like cheering her up and saying that she thought that Nia’s Maya dance was the best out there warmed my heart ❤
my favorite part of Kenzie's version of Cry was moment when Kenzie tipped head back and hand on head she let go and had genuine sad face in that moment best ever sad face on the show
I love how she wasn’t comparing Chloe and the other girls! At the start she even said “ it’s not going to be a freaking pyramid “ I think this was so sweet how she just did her fav solos, not her fav girls! ❤
I think a lot of mine were after season 4 when you left. Kendall's DOA solo is my favourite for her. The concept was very clever and she KIIIILLED it. I remember once I worked out the story I was like whooooa and had to rewatch it because it was just so cool! Mackenzie I loved Sink or Swim, not because of the win against Maddie, that was a huge achievement, I just remember watching it with my jaw down the whole time then she did that front handspring to pike stretch (no idea if that's what it's called) and I was just like HOW?!?! Nia I actually can't remember the name of it, and it's one of thise ones with some ouch feelings behind it, but the one where she was in this little princess outfit and Kendall moved to Candy Apples and the producers (or whoever) made then go against each other and ruined the whole day but the SOLO itself was so gorgeous. Her passion in it was so loud you could feel it through the tv and I just loved that dance. (Again, once you focus solely on the dance and not the drama). Paige I agree, make some noise was AWESOME. She was amazing and you could tell she knew it as she was dancing and it was a great moment for her. Vivi there's only two and yeah, Honeybee was better. Those runs at the end are so damn cute. Kalani was another one I don't remember the name of. The one where her old teacher came in and worked with her and did this solo that involved so much emotional movement rather than this pretty, lyrics dance with a bunch of acro in it which we'd seen over and over by this point. I remember watching it just like whoa we are being shown Kalani as this beautiful, incredible dancer but she's even more incredible than any of us thought or knew. I know she was after season 4 but Jojo I loved her improv electricity. It was so cool to see just how incredible this kid was at totally making something up on the spot, yet it showed the accents in the music and all this emotion that usually gets masked by the 'what comes next?' expression when dancing but Jojo had none of that confusion because she was too good at improv. Brynn, also after s4, I loved she's magic. I just remember thinking it was so well done and, similar to Kalani, showed us this whole other dancer to the pretty, lyrical dancer box she was put into. Asia I liked her AUDC dances better than dance moms. I loved both her lion one and the one from the finale where she used the same music as Glam the zombie dance. Her performance skills were next level for a 6/7 year old!! Minis I loved the contemporary dance Lilly did that everyone kept saying was supposed to be for Kalani but she was an irreplaceable by then. She was so small but pulled off these mature, contemporary movements and I remember being so wowed by this tiny little human. Elli I think got ripped off by choreography a lot in her solos, so I'm actually jumping to a group dance when I think of her and remember that one where she was the only mini in with the older kids and she was a fairie or something. I remember thinking she did incredibly with that and it actually showed just how good she was rather than putting her in some weird themed costume with no story which a lot of her solos were (idk about s8, I didn't watch s8) And shout out to that girl who did that stunning dance for her older brother. I can't remember her name right now but that dance was STUNNING and it showed so much maturity to get through it. Brooke I LOVED diary of Anne Frank. The ending where she slides the book away gives me chills every time. The Kelly comments about Anne Frank also crack me up. This is actually my fav Dance Moms solo fullstop. Maddie has so many it's hard to remember!! Honestly can I say Chandelier??? Nothing to do with the show but it was another breaking out of this 'pretty, lyrical dancer' box and it showed what a good performer she was and how she COULD do these perfectly placed steps but she could also run heel-toe and drag her arm behind her like it was falling off and still look just as impressive. Chloe I'm including because she isn't my kid either lol. Dream on a star. hands down. The moment where she's literally standing there blinking and the expression on her face was just so perfect and even the camera angle was perfect for the moment. Too precious. I loved it. Another one where you could feel passion through your tv. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk. Xx
I think the Kalani solo you're thinking of is The Investment, the Nia one is I'll Do Anything For You, and the girl who did the solo for her brother is Areana if I'm not mistaken. I like your picks---especially agree on Chloe and JoJo :)
You truly acted like a “mother” to the girls and it was adorable.I’ve seen every episode of dance moms and you always helps the girls! You acted to sweet with mackenzie because Abby wanted her to be like Maddie and I really do think you were an amazing dance mom I really don’t know why Abby gave you such a hard time when all you wanted to do was watch your daughter dance🤷🏽♀️ you were one of my fav moms on the show😎 I also love how you say “The dance teacher” instead of using her name😂😂

FINALLY SUPERMODEL
Leaving Berlin from maddie (season 3 or 4) was so good. Her movement was just fluid and her emotions were so pure/genuine.
awe there was this moment in Swan Solstice where she blows a kiss and throws it into the wind, and I LOVED those small parts too!
details. More experience usually helped them be more detailed and lovelier.
Christi you’re so nice and kind towards the girls and you had every right to be angry, not that you are angry. I remember when miss Abby was comparing Kenz to Maddie and you were just like I don’t exactly know what you said but you said something and it was like “you go out there and me Mackenzie you don’t need to be maddie kenzie is just as good.” You look out for all the other girls and no shade to Melissa but when Melissa was standing up for Abby and not kenz or maddie you always not to Abby you just talked to them and made sure they were okay and I loved when you hugged Paige after Abby threw the chair at her (or didn’t idk) and Kelly went to stand up for her and stand up for her daughter I just loved you by far you are definitely and always will be my fave dance moms and I know you would get in there and fight for the girls again today if you needed to!!! Love you Christi keep up the good work!! ❤❤❤
Love your videos!! I would love to see you Kelly, Paige, Brooke and Chloe reunite for one!!
Great idea!!
@@ChristiLukasiak yes! ❤️
Yes that is a great idea
You picked so many good choices! I also loved Disappear, Mackenzie’s Cry, Goodbye Maya, and all of the solos you mentioned.
I recently got to to see "home again" and it is my favorite group dance now. Stunning. I wish they show the whole number, even when Maddie was last off stage and gave it that extra emotion.
I think the empty chair by far had the best solo
Yaaassss!!!
"EMPTY CHAIR DO A SOLO"
I love how you ranked both solos Chloe did recently and solos the other girls did. I think you and Kelly should do a video of both of your favorite solos both Brooke and Paige did. I think that would be interesting and really fun
I could tell that VooDoo Doll Choreography was geared towards Chloé. Kendall’s dance would’ve had a front aerial at the time if was geared towards her. I 1000% believe that Chloé would’ve won the national title if she performed VooDoo Doll.
Hi vhloe
Chloe
@@niedysotolongo2389It’s not actually Chloe😅
I've been binge watching dance moms and you were my favorite dance mom. You never took any crap and stood up for what was right. I just hate to know producers were the one making most of the problems! I danced for 14 years and watching the show brings back so many memories.
I love how christi was talking about nia about how she grew up and was mature she is talking about like it is her own daughter which is wholesome
I love how respectful Christi is about all of the other girls 🥰🥰
All the Mom's had a lot of pressure. On a t.v. show, producers trying to manipulate, competition, etc. Christi was a gem.
"Not on a frickin pyramid" had me cracking😂😂 .
Like burrnnnnnnn abby burn 🔥
Goodbye Maya is still one of my favorite Dance Mom dances ever. Nia really shined and I think she was so poised and elegant in that dance.
Brooke- Anne Frank
My favorite solo from Chloe is always Soaring. I loved Maddie's solo happiness. I love purple Rain for Brooke. Paige's favorite solo of mine was the one on the gym floor and she had the orange outfit. My favorite Kendall solo was battled feet. Kalanis is always fragile forest or Say Something. I love all the girls from the show!
I think the Paige solo was called Make Some Noise
I adore how Christi treats every member of the team as her own daughter, and that kind of bond between the casts really touches me.
I've always thought that Christi was and is a great mother. Chloe grew up being this adorable and polite girl, Clara seems to follow Chloe's footsteps, I mean, there is no secrets. I've always loved Chloe on DM
4:00 finally somebody recognises vivi as an OG member because she was there in the first episode I know that she was only there until episode 6, 7, 8. I forgot but it still counts.
Her talking about Mackenzie melted my heart. That was so sweet
love your videos, by far the most iconic Dance mom!
And btw Chloe was and still is my favourite dancer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She was raised by amazing parents, you taught her how to be supportive and a good sport when she lost!!!!!!
Hope everyone's doing well and stay happy and healthy.
I didn't realize that Brooke had done a caterpillar number. How cool that she ended up doing the Metamorphosis number later on!
I currently have covid and today is the first day I feel well enough to leave my bed. This was such a good video, I love how you speak about each of the girls. I wish the show would've shown all the love you guys had for each other more than the drama
“Or something really offensive” omg this is why I always love Christy!!
“The animals know” by Brooke was hands down one of the best dances out of all the dance mom dances
i really respect christi for walking away from dance moms when things got beyond, it shows that her daughter and their mental health were more important than publicity. i defiantly respect that
I love the way she doesn’t just care about Chloe she cared about every kid even maddie
My favorite Chloe solo was the last one she did when the irreplaceables won with survivor at nationals. It made me cry knowing what Chloe went through. I still rewatch it to this day. In that episode too I also really love Nias solo
It makes me happy that you still talk about Dance Moms and don't pretend that it didn't happen! Some others won't even mention it. For those of us who are fans, it's nice to know you have some happy memories! 🥰
I think Mackenzie did SOOO amazing for cry. Fav solo for sure.
My fav is reach for the stars but cry is a close second
I agree Disappear was my favorite Maddie performance cause it was just something nobody else would create and Maddie pulled it off like a professional.
As for Brooke. The Apple (Eve) number. My mom watched it and just gasped. I think we both watched it multiple times before we could talk and be like Dang! That was great!
So ya, I agree with you on most :)
When Christi chose cry for Kenzie it was just a ahh❤ moment for me because in that episode Christi said to Kenzie “u go out there and you be Mackenzie u dont have to be Maddie its better to be u because ur ur own special self” or smth like that💚🫶🏽
the way christi has a soft spot for kenzie🥺
I always enjoyed watching brook because she makes contortion or acro so easy. I love christi and chloe from dance moms. Literally fav duo
It’s just so fun to see all the girls grow up, and there amazing dance evolution!💗
Anyone here in 2024?
Meeee
me💞
Yep:)
Yessssss!!!
😅
I love the way she spoke about the girls regardless of anything that happened with the moms you can tell she loves them 🤍 absolutely love the dance moms videos x
Luv u Christi! U always cared abt all the girls
It’s great she thinks fondly about all the kids. The show was so much drama about the kids. But this shows how much Christi loves all the girls like her own.
Nobody on the freakin pyramid got me rolling😂
The solos Abby gave Nia always weirded me out in a way. However Nia pulled them off quite well. I love lots of the girls dancing
Disappear is also one of my favorite Maddie dances and is also one of the reasons for one of my favorites Abby moments. I don’t know why but that moment where they’re walking back stage and she says “I’m gonna hold your hand so that people know you’re with me” just always got me a certain way.
You are literally my favorite dance mom, I would have been so lucky to have you sticking up for me! 💕
Parallel Universe: Maddie did a re-do of disappear as her last solo, but they switched up the story line so that it was both the hostage story, but also a farewell to the show since it’s “disappear”
Im so excited to watch this you and chloe where always my favourites cant way to see your solo rankings :)
I love how she supports everyone ❤❤❤
Christi cared for maddie and kenzie, if u remember those moments ur true, and when nia was upset it made me tear when christi said nia was the best, she rlly was :(
Honestly Christy is the best dance mom ever because she is one of the parent that acts correctly and she stands up for any child at any time and she never try’s to boost Chloe with a gift or anything.
Chloe was my favorite❤❤❤❤❤ I love you guys
Christi, Holly, & Kelly r the moms that most definitely cared for all of the kids and treated them as their own. They are my fav moms for a reason, during arguments w Abby that got bad it was one of them three that got the kids out of the room. Love them sm
'she's the bubbles in Champagne' Can I write that into a country song?! lol
I love how you talk about each girl as if she were your own 💕 even Maddie- everyone calling you jealous doesn’t know what they’re talking about
christi pulling a jill during kendall’s part is amazing😂
they way you call paige “paigey-mac” tugs my heart strings so much I love it (9:03)
hi christi i love the videos your videos get better everytime you post a videos🥰 keep up the great work making more amazing videos ❤ your next youtube videos you should do behind the scenes of clara baby photos/ rare baby of clara
Thank you so much!! And I LOVE that idea!
@@ChristiLukasiak your welcome Christi
You are my favorite Dance Mom. You genuinely cared for all of the girls like they were your own.
This is me realizing the Brooke was in high school while all the other girls were in like elementary school and they were still all so close and nice to each other, it very much reminds me of my old studio and I miss that vibe
One of my favorite memories is you giving Kenzie a pep talk before “cry” that was so sweet of you
Thank you for posting this, Christi. It is so awesome you are here; I love you and you were really the best Dance Mom!
I love this! She genuinely loves all of those girls ❤️
Christi has known the Hylands for 20 years wow friendship goals
“I know it! See? I can compete! In the elderly category!” 💀 Christi is too funny
It’s crazy how she really understands little nuances of dance like she really enjoys dance
“You know i could compete……..in the elderly category” Lol I love that I love you Christi
I feel like Christi was one of the better mom's on the show, she was never the type of mom that was like 'why are you crying' and she always stood up for, not only Chloe, but all the girls there
“She had good feet,Nia I got your back”
It was so cute tu when Kenz did the solo Cry Christi told Kenz to just be herself and not Maddie
Christi is the mom everyone wants
Un like Melissa who pretty much just cared for Maddie until she went to go work on her movie😊❤
Honestly just Christi complimenting Maddie makes my day
I have been waiting for this video. Still my favorite dance mom of all time.
Love how you talked about all the girls. I wanna see the girls get together and have a reunion
the show and thos OG girls has never lost their fan base. I'm glad the Mom's and the girls get to talk about what they want to here or on social media. I wish them all well !
I love that you choose Cry for Mackenzie, you comforting Mackenzie before she went on stage was so awesome. But I do have to say that I think you might have forgot about Asia from season 3? Anyway love your vids so much and loving the dm content!
AHH SO EXCITED TO SEE THIS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO FOREVERRRRRRRR
It's finally here!
CHRISTIII i love youu!! You are my fav and i admire so much the genuine and authentic love you have for chloe!! Xoxo
Chloe, Nia, Paige and Mackenzie were and always be my favourite from Dance mom
Christi, you chose the dances where you talked to them and comfort them like with Maya - Nia and Cry - Mackenzie because the fact that Mackenzie was forced to be like her sister was not okay and Christi said to be yourself. Nia cried because she thought that she was going to get kicked out but then Christi was like cheering her up and saying that she thought that Nia’s Maya dance was the best out there warmed my heart ❤
my favorite part of Kenzie's version of Cry was moment when Kenzie tipped head back and hand on head she let go and had genuine sad face in that moment best ever sad face on the show
I love how she wasn’t comparing Chloe and the other girls! At the start she even said “ it’s not going to be a freaking pyramid “ I think this was so sweet how she just did her fav solos, not her fav girls! ❤
I think a lot of mine were after season 4 when you left.
Kendall's DOA solo is my favourite for her. The concept was very clever and she KIIIILLED it. I remember once I worked out the story I was like whooooa and had to rewatch it because it was just so cool!
Mackenzie I loved Sink or Swim, not because of the win against Maddie, that was a huge achievement, I just remember watching it with my jaw down the whole time then she did that front handspring to pike stretch (no idea if that's what it's called) and I was just like HOW?!?!
Nia I actually can't remember the name of it, and it's one of thise ones with some ouch feelings behind it, but the one where she was in this little princess outfit and Kendall moved to Candy Apples and the producers (or whoever) made then go against each other and ruined the whole day but the SOLO itself was so gorgeous. Her passion in it was so loud you could feel it through the tv and I just loved that dance. (Again, once you focus solely on the dance and not the drama).
Paige I agree, make some noise was AWESOME. She was amazing and you could tell she knew it as she was dancing and it was a great moment for her.
Vivi there's only two and yeah, Honeybee was better. Those runs at the end are so damn cute.
Kalani was another one I don't remember the name of. The one where her old teacher came in and worked with her and did this solo that involved so much emotional movement rather than this pretty, lyrics dance with a bunch of acro in it which we'd seen over and over by this point. I remember watching it just like whoa we are being shown Kalani as this beautiful, incredible dancer but she's even more incredible than any of us thought or knew.
I know she was after season 4 but Jojo I loved her improv electricity. It was so cool to see just how incredible this kid was at totally making something up on the spot, yet it showed the accents in the music and all this emotion that usually gets masked by the 'what comes next?' expression when dancing but Jojo had none of that confusion because she was too good at improv.
Brynn, also after s4, I loved she's magic. I just remember thinking it was so well done and, similar to Kalani, showed us this whole other dancer to the pretty, lyrical dancer box she was put into.
Asia I liked her AUDC dances better than dance moms. I loved both her lion one and the one from the finale where she used the same music as Glam the zombie dance. Her performance skills were next level for a 6/7 year old!!
Minis I loved the contemporary dance Lilly did that everyone kept saying was supposed to be for Kalani but she was an irreplaceable by then. She was so small but pulled off these mature, contemporary movements and I remember being so wowed by this tiny little human.
Elli I think got ripped off by choreography a lot in her solos, so I'm actually jumping to a group dance when I think of her and remember that one where she was the only mini in with the older kids and she was a fairie or something. I remember thinking she did incredibly with that and it actually showed just how good she was rather than putting her in some weird themed costume with no story which a lot of her solos were (idk about s8, I didn't watch s8)
And shout out to that girl who did that stunning dance for her older brother. I can't remember her name right now but that dance was STUNNING and it showed so much maturity to get through it.
Brooke I LOVED diary of Anne Frank. The ending where she slides the book away gives me chills every time. The Kelly comments about Anne Frank also crack me up. This is actually my fav Dance Moms solo fullstop.
Maddie has so many it's hard to remember!! Honestly can I say Chandelier??? Nothing to do with the show but it was another breaking out of this 'pretty, lyrical dancer' box and it showed what a good performer she was and how she COULD do these perfectly placed steps but she could also run heel-toe and drag her arm behind her like it was falling off and still look just as impressive.
Chloe I'm including because she isn't my kid either lol. Dream on a star. hands down. The moment where she's literally standing there blinking and the expression on her face was just so perfect and even the camera angle was perfect for the moment. Too precious. I loved it. Another one where you could feel passion through your tv.
Thank you for coming to my Ted talk. Xx
I think the Kalani solo you're thinking of is The Investment, the Nia one is I'll Do Anything For You, and the girl who did the solo for her brother is Areana if I'm not mistaken. I like your picks---especially agree on Chloe and JoJo :)
@@dreamworlddm3956 That all sounds right! Tysm! 💕
sink and swim was absolutely amazing! i also loved the one where mackenzie went head to head against sarah where she had a beautiful fox-like costume
Am I the only one who didn’t read it?
“I could compete in the elderly category” I love your humor Christi
I just love how she goes this is before we knew each other and I asked Brook what are you doing and she would say “FLIPPING!” I love that.
“I could compete! 😁 Y’know, In the elderly category.. 😅”
You truly acted like a “mother” to the girls and it was adorable.I’ve seen every episode of dance moms and you always helps the girls! You acted to sweet with mackenzie because Abby wanted her to be like Maddie and I really do think you were an amazing dance mom I really don’t know why Abby gave you such a hard time when all you wanted to do was watch your daughter dance🤷🏽♀️
you were one of my fav moms on the show😎
I also love how you say “The dance teacher” instead of using her name😂😂
i absolutely lost it when christi was talking about brooke flipping on the stairs
