When you see where she has come from and what she has accomplished, it is easy to see why she is where she is today. She took a dream and took the path, to fulfill that dream. Now, at this moment in time..the dream has become a reality. The hard work, the tears, the sacrifice and the hard times are paying off.

The Dancing Dolls are celebrating 14 years of being dedicated to teaching young people, not only how to dance but how to be leaders and productive adults. She still teaches the value of a good education, manners, positive self worth and being dedicated to your dreams and goals. Her teaching style is tough and demanding, but by utilizing both honest and straight forward evaluations with positive advice & instruction, she maintains respect from all of her students. They love her fun and loving personality and trust her demanding instruction. The combination has molded young women who have advanced to the productive and wonderful adult women, they were meant to be.

That was the dream..not being a huge reality TV star. The impact started long before the Dancing Dolls were a part of a show. The Dollhouse started with 23 dancers..it has grown to over 200. So celebrating 14 years of Dolls, we are celebrating the beauty of being an active, involved part of the community. Whether or not Dianna Williams landed a TV reality show, she would still be changing lives and making a difference, just like she was before Bring It. Just like she started out doing, so many years ago.

The indomitable & tenacious spirit of Dianna Williams, not only had taken her life to incredible heights before getting on TV, she has used this opportunity  to create a potential empire of Dance & Entertainment connections, that will carry her dream to places, she could have never imagined. Her humble dream of influencing and instructing young girls in dance and simple life lessons, has swept the country, affecting girls, boys and parents. The Majorette Dance style has come into a new and refreshing light. Dance teams all over, have seen a huge increase in student participation. The challenge of being good enough to beat the Dancing Dolls, has given these teams the determination, to push for the hope, they too,will get to Battle and prove their talent. It has given kids all over a peek into what they can achieve, if they work hard and work smart.

Dianna & Robert, could have never anticipated that God would take them this far and give them so many platforms, to influence and affect kids. For so many that watch, we recognized from the beginning, she had something, no other reality show, truly had...total love and dedication to children. Unwavering and unending love and dedication to give all she has to be sure they have a fighting chance in life.

We celebrate the 14th Anniversary, of the Founding of the Dancing Dolls and the 5th Anniversary of the Founding of the Dollhouse Dance Factory, & we salute Dianna and Robert Williams for their hard work and dedication. We also salute them for having the courage to step out on faith to fulfill the destiny God had planned for their lives. A plan that now includes new locations in Birmingham and Atlanta open soon, we see that plan continuing to expand and grow. Also, sponsorships for great companies and products, which open many other doors, are pouring in. All a part of the bigger plan for this endearing group of hardworking folks.

As we sit in front of our TV's each week and enjoy watching what Lifetime has put together to entertain us, let's not forget that out of those 28 or so minutes we are listening and thinking we know all there is to know about the Dancing Dolls and Dianna, we don't really know very much. We don't see that filming takes 20 hours for one show...we don't see the numerous competitions it takes to get to a Battle Royale or a Dance Off Competition. We don't see the hundreds of hours of practice...every single student shows up for or the lives of the parents, when the TV is not on.

This show is just a tiny, little part of the lives that make up what we see. Every person is just like you and I. They go to work, they take care of their families and they live each day with lots of things going on.

So reaching this milestone is not just a moment in time...it is a lifetime of working for this moment. A lifetime of using every chance that was offered to build to the next opportunity. A lifetime of living what you are preaching.

It is super easy to sit at home and judge and be a critic...it takes a lot more thought to see the bigger picture of where they have come from and the journey they have yet to encounter. And sitting around being critical of Dianna's teaching style or dance decisions is just silly. Check her resume again. She is qualified...again and again.

The following is growing and the real fans do see the bigger and more important goals. We want to send a really big, love filled shout out to Dianna Williams, Robert Williams and all those who have worked and struggled and reached for the stars to get to this huge celebration. And we want to assure them that the folks that are negative and critical are only a tiny part of the picture. Though they seem loud at times, they don't represent very many.

HAPPY 14 YEARS DANCING DOLLS &; HAPPY 5 YEARS DOLLHOUSE DANCE FACTORY! ENJOY THE RIDE....HOLD YOUR HEAD HIGH....KEEP ON KEEPING ON AND KEEP ON DOING THE RIGHT THING! THAT IS FOREVER, A WINNING PROPOSITION!

BOOM! Just Like That! Friend Or Enemy?

Well...Well...If you were not watching Bring It last night...dang you missed the show...LOL..Lord have mercy, I don't when I have been more wide eyed and been more glued to the TV, than last night.

It was the "Storm In Jackson" last night. We have been hearing the rumors, talking among ourselves and speculating on What happened with Zatia and Tawantza. NOW we know..no more speculating. Dianna has tolerated and put up with Tawantza and her negativity 4 EVER. Last night was the end of that mess. Tawantza made her final mistake by thinking she could go off about Dianna in the room with the other DDP. Heffer PLEASE! Mimi, Tina, Rittany, not to mention Selena. ALL long time DDP who support Dianna! LOL WOW! Talk about mistakes! That was the QUEEN of mistakes.

And in true form, Dianna snapped right off on her. LOL..I love this woman....she never hesitates to just SAY it! LOL! She made it very CLEAR, you are either WITH the DOLLS or YOU are an ENEMY! My thoughts exactly! When Tawantza came on the show, I thought, Dang this girl talks lots of shit to be a DDP! Sure Nuff, THAT was her downfall. Dianna TOLD her...YOUR MOUTH is the problem, NOT Zatia! So Tawantza is the REAL REASON, Zatia isn't at the Dollhouse anymore!

If you don't know WHEN to shut up, you are going to ALWAYS put your damn foot in your mouth! LOL! Fact! Sadly, her kid is the one who loses...NOBODY is going to put up with the negativity and hate, Tawantza brings along, with Zatia. And Dianna damn sure ain't gonna put up with it...She flat told her, she couldn't do it and too bad..so sorry...but Bye Girl! LOL...WOW...I thought for a minute, Dianna may come off the chair and get closer to Tawantza's.....with her hands....around her silly ole neck......KMSL...

But the cat is out of the bag now and hopefully, we can move forward to bigger and better things...like the new bad ass dance teams that are coming to Battle the Dolls! And Kayla, Ms D's new Assistant AND the new choreography that is giving the Dolls so much more of an advantage. How about how Camryn KILLED it last night, as Captain.



No hesitation or backing up...She hit the floor full steam and never let up...She led the Dolls to a victory over the Purple Diamonds, easily. And though many were doubting Cammie's ability to pull it off, Mama Mimi, never wavered...she was confident her baby was fixing to blow it up! AND SHE DID!....You knew Mama!

What about that girl Kayla? Or I should I say...Asst Kayla? Kayla has wowed us over and over throughout the last couple of Seasons. Her determination and dedication to be the Best At Being Captain, has kept us cheering her on. Last night this girl, came out like the Queen, we have named her. She was strong and tough and she wasn't going easy on anybody.

She stepped right into the Asst Coaching position, without missing a beat. She knew Camryn could be tough and she didn't hesitate to let Cammie know what she was expecting from her. After last night, I think it is safe to say, Dianna made an excellent decision, making Kayla her Assistant! I think it expands the horizons for the both the show and the Dollhouse's future.

Of course we have gotten comments on the DDS Nation pages about the negative aspects...Folks minding others people's business...like..."What about College? I thought she got a scholarship?" or "Dang, she just gonna ride on Ms. D's dime, instead of creating her own life?" LOL...Well for you folks, I would say...MIND YOUR BUSINESS! Tina and Terrell have GOT THIS!...LOL..And I am betting Kayla does too! So all you people still looking for the negative...BYE!

We can't talk about last night and not talk about those beautiful girls Sunjai, Star &  Skye. Sunjai always Brings It when she hits the floor and the Twins joined the Stand Battle last night, turning it up, like we haven't seen them do before. They are growing up and getting more beautiful each time we see them...To see them hit the floor and nail it, was very cool! We know our girl Selena is as proud as can be....she never fails in her support of all of her kids...Sometimes, we look at her twice, but she is a great mom and loves those babies..and she is beautiful herself...Love seeing these ladies work as a family!

What's else happened last night? Oh yes, NEW DOLLS...Ms. Jaelen...Former Doll...went to the Purple Diamonds...now she is back with the Dancing Dolls. More to come on Jaelen later...but one thing is for sure..her Mom Nashamba is not shy about supporting her baby...we saw total support and pride beaming through her last night. She knows her daughter can dance and she is going to be right there telling folks....LOL..We Welcome Jaelen and Nashamba BACK to the Dolls. We look forward to hearing about them and watching Jaelen dance. She is beautiful and rocked the floor last night.




Okay, Dance Talent....Well them Purple Diamonds, Jackson's other Dance School, are still burning up the floor. They are talented and always bring great dance choreography to every competition. Their Coach is tough and works them hard. Though her and Dianna spark at times, I think they are  Hometown Acquaintances and have tremendous respect for each other. But the Purple Diamonds are always a force to be reckoned with. They are precise and prepared at every event. They brought it last night but the Dolls brought it better.

The other teams that participated last night are the Altanta Glitter (https://www.facebook.com/AtlantaGlitter)from Atlanta Georgia of course and Fierce Elite (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fierce-Elite-Dance-Team/783075895058045) from Little Rock Arkansas. Links are for their Facebook pages if you want more information. These teams were tough and its fantastic to see new faces on the floor. Though we are always excited to see what the Divas or Purple Diamonds are up to...seeing the talent from other places gives us something unfamiliar and exciting to look forward to each week....AND it is very cool for other Dance Teams to get that exposure. We can't wait to see what and who Dianna has in store for us next week.

So winding down topics on this recap we have to mention Tamia...We know you saw her last night. Hmmph...FB was blowing up with people saying...Oooohhhh...I saw Tamia...What's Up? LOL..Well due to the magic of TV, you may see her some more..so STOP speculating...Its a cycle of working through episodes...she will be phased out with the Season progressing. LOL...She hasn't returned...as much as that hurts some of you folks. LIG!

The 2nd episode of Season 2B is in the can and all you can say is WOW! WOW because it was a roller coaster of things happening...Tawantza after weeks and weeks of mess from her on the Social Media.....New Job for our Sweetheart Kayla...that she ROCKED......Camryn taking that Captain Position and Claiming LIKE A BOSS....New Blood in the Dollhouse that has Mad Skills....WOW! What a second Episode!...I need a nap just talking about it...LOL..

Social Media also blew up with the Haters...Tawantza..JustinJ....this negative person..that negative person...maddening and funny....We knew Tawantza would get going and it never fails that our sad friend was going to open up and add to the fray!

Last and ALWAYS LEAST...Our Little Insecure Boy, JustinJ got his tiny little TWO CENTS in last night....His misery is getting so old...I don't even have the energy to talk about it anymore...He IS CLUELESS...JOBLESS...LOVELESS.....MORALESS....CARELESS...AND USELESS!....SO the LESS We discuss him...the LESS he gets under our skin....HOW DO YOU LISTEN TO STUPID? YOU DON'T! He is hedging his bets on a TV show....WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THAT DUMMY?...LOL..NOT Worth My Effort To Discuss Much!..Bye JustinJ..Go Play In Your Blankie....LOL...

We hope your enjoyed the Second Episode of Season 2B....We loved it.....A surprise a second! LOL....Needless to say it was a fantastic show and ONCE AGAIN...Ya'll BLEW UP Social Media....Bring It Trended Way Up there last night for the 2ND TIME!

YA'LL ARE ABSOLUTELY....HANDS DOWN...THE  BEST FANS IN THE WORLD! STAY TUNED!....ITS GONNA KEEP ON GETTING BETTER! DON'T BLINK!

Season 2B: Here Come The Haters....Sad Wannabes And Mama Drama!

I started working on this article yesterday but decided to wait and work on it today because I didn't want to call names or be mad when I wrote it. As everybody knows, the first show of Season 2B aired Friday. We were all sitting on the edge of our seats to see what was going to happen. With the end of last season, we knew that Tamia was gone, Zatia was gone and a few others were gone as well. Social media has been blowing up the last few months, with speculation and rumors of WHAT MAY have happened. Nobody really knew the truth, but everybody was talking junk and making judgment calls based on whatever they heard.

Tawantza blew up Instagram with nastiness and supposed "FACTS ", why everything had happened. She even went so far as to openly call out members of the DDP. Her so called facts seemed to be based on little actual truth and more "HURT" feelings. For days, we watched childish, immature behavior over her attempt at gaining support for her cause. The problem is, she was always a negative Nelly...always doubting and always criticizing Dianna or the ways things were done. I thought she was trouble from the beginning...but not my place to say it.

We lost Dancing Doll Supporters too. Folks that took the side of the people who left and couldn't bring themselves to support the Dolls anymore. It has been a dark and telling time for the Dolls. Dark because of the loss of potential talent and the loss of the opportunity to influence those girls and telling because, it has shown the true character of the those involved. Tawantza gave us pause when she went to the level of  encouraging a fist fight, over this whole deal. All of the back and forth of talking trash and threatening? What should we think now? Should we have more respect for her? LOL...

But we somehow managed to get through to the first episode, which was very exciting. With new talent from the Explosive Dance Company from Texas, it was definitely an unpredictable outcome. They were talented and danced hard. The entire show was full of Doll excitement and fun. Lifetime probably should have done more editing on some of the language, but this is TV and we know it is directed. Otherwise, WHY would Dianna NEED them to do the show. If there was no direction, there would be no need to pay those folks..ITS CALLED TV! But I think they realized it, as soon as it happened..so we just gonna pass on by that one and count on Lifetime to be more aware.

With all of the drama in the background, it seems that anybody and everybody that HATES Dianna and the Dolls has been given a free ticket to talk trash. Case in point, our little friend Justin J. From 7 pm on Friday night until about 9:30 pm, Justin made approx. 30 posts on Facebook. Vlogs that were either making fun, talking trash or criticizing Dianna/Dolls. Mixed with re-posts of video clips of  Bring it, (which may be illegal, since he aims to make money by doing that).

During this 2 or so hours of ranting and raving, we see him move from somewhere, in wherever he is currently living, looking like he was laying down, to what appears to be another spot in his place, to yet again, lay down. All the while talking about Dianna and Tina and Mimi and then trying to add some positive about Crystianna in the mix...LOL..

If you have not encountered JustinJ, then lets take a brief tour of "WHO" he is. He is a 35 or so, gay, black man who lives in Memphis Tennessee. He appears to not have much education and appears to not have much training in Public Speaking. He would also seem to be unable to hold a train of thought for more than a few minutes at a time. He also doesn't hold a job and seems to think that he will become some sort of Video Star Vlogger. He does a lot of videos either from his vehicle or laying down, wherever he is residing at the time.

As far as his popularity, I searched for him everywhere for all of the potential words he should come up for and he isn't even on the radar. But if you listen to him and his really bad way of talking, you will understand WHY he isn't on the radar. MOST of what he talks about is hating on people, talking about the way they look and they way they act and what they SHOULD be doing.

I can only laugh when I hear him. Just looking at his animated antics, makes me think of a sad little person who wakes up daily to promote hate and anger and meanness. A person who lives their lives in shambles but takes the time out of that misery to talk bad about others....so sad and so funny.

Funny because he doesn't see it. He has a sad little following of other folks who enjoy the misery of others or just like a good sideshow. For the approx 30 posts he made in that short little time..he couldn't even hardly muster a thousand likes. How sad is that? What is even funnier is his lack of staying on subject. Once he starts talking, he may ramble from Tina and the way he thinks she looks to something that was posted on the Internet to offering complimentary statements about one of the girls.

No Journalist training or experience, just RAMBLING. He has shown us the Storyboard that ALL reality shows use...he has ASSumed Traci from YCDT is getting her own show...he is SURE that EVERYTHING Dianna, Tina and Mimi do is Wrong, Bad or Stupid.

 His claims of being an Entertainment Critic are inflated ideas of grandeur.He tries to offer his opinions on anything that he thinks he can gain support on....but not valid opinions...opinions based on any spec of disagreeable news he can find. Proven or Not!  I totally believe that most folks check him out because its like watching a cartoon. The animation is comical.

What is also comical is his choices of places to Vlog. What's up with LAYING DOWN and being all covered up to talk about anything live? I mean are you playing with yourself or what are you doing? Talk about UNPROFESSIONAL BEHAVIOR! WOW! It would also seem that is somewhat PERVERSE......WOW!

And finally while we are talking about his behavior...I just have a few questions...No matter how hard I try, I cannot figure out WHERE  he gained any experience, in the areas he criticizes, that would make him capable, of offering advice or suggestions on anything? Such as:

1.RAISING CHILDREN-BEING A PARENT?
2. RUNNING A DANCE STUDIO?
3. RUNNING A COMPANY?
4.DIRECTING CHILDREN?
5.BEING ON TV?
6.RUNNING DANCE WORKSHOPS/COMPETITIONS/INSTRUCTION?
7.BEING MARRIED?

From everything I can find, Justin has NEVER  had children, raised a child or been involved on a daily basis with children...he has NEVER had a Dance Studio....he has NEVER had his own business or IF he ever did, HE FAILED....he has NEVER been on TV....he has NEVER been involved with or directed ANY type of Dance ANYTHING....And DAMN SURE ain't NEVER been married..AND from what can be seen..NO relationship...just a male version of a Thot.....LOL...

SO the obvious question would be...Where does he get the KNOWLEDGE to OPEN HIS MOUTH...If YOU have NEVER done anything but be messed up in life and clueless...WHERE do you think you get experience enough to JUDGE or OFFER ADVICE? YOU DON"T! You just are so insecure in life...you are determined to be heard, at the risk of looking stupid.

That is the mentality of this hate. No Matter HOW DUMB or IGNORANT or PATHETICALLY UNEDUCATED he looks...HIS CHOICE is to continue.....Pretty much like running your own car into someone because you mad about them cutting in front of you. You are willing to WRECK everybody's life to satisfy your own ignorance....TOO COMICAL.....WOW JUSTINJ! AND YOU ARE WRONG...EVERYTHING you say is wrong...NO FACTS!

Just wondering if the J stays for Jackoff..since you seem to be under the covers so much.....KMSL...
SAD...SAD...LITTLE INSECURE BOY!

But the good news DDS NATION is NO MATTER the silly videos made by unknowns like this...the Dolls will move on...and when its time for them to move from TV to bigger and better...they will do it with the same dedication and grace that has built the Dollhouse to this point. Folks like Justin will fade by the wayside and will still be struggling to keep a place to live and toilet paper to wipe their behinds while everybody else has lived good lives and prospered.

The next episode is coming and as we know, it will yet again bring out the haters and ones who got put out...so this is not the end of our little boy and his spewing of hate and anger...Get ready DDS Nation....Lets show him OUR dedicated spirit...Stand with the Dolls...Blow up Social Media and tune in to every episode...Like all of their posts and pictures...Right wins in life...though wrong always gives us a run for our money....

Dianna, Robert, Tina, Terrell, Mimi, Calvin, Selena and JJ didn't make it this far because they are soft or weak or dumb.....so I am not worried....and I am sure they know the old saying..."What don't kill you makes you stronger"! LOL....Its gonna be okay! And the folks who got put off will either go on and make their lives productive or sit on Social Media crying about WHY They TOO are LOSERS.....

WHY YOU STILL MAD THOUGH?

Well DDS Nation, we are just days away from the New Season of Bring It. WOW..it seems like it has been years since the last Season. But we have had lots of entertainment over the break. From Mama Drama to total meltdown in the Dollhouse, we have seen a wide variety of mess happening.

If you are just now getting on board with the Dancing Dolls or have been on break too, then you have missed a lot. During the break several girls have left and several Moms have left as well. When the next Season begins in 13 days, Tamia will be absent and Zatia and her Mom Tawantza will be absent from the cast. Due to disagreements, disgruntled folks and limited tolerance for Crap, Ms. Dianna has gone on a Dollhouse Dance Factory Cleanup Session...LOL

So as we get ready to start the new Season, Social Media is burning up with sour grapes. Our wild-eyed, angry mom, Tawantza is taking to the Social Media sites to plead her case and gain support for her supposed injustice. She feels like the whole thing has been a mistake and that Dianna has been unfair. She is targeting other DDP, that she has had problems with, by calling them out with threats and insults. She has gone so far as to attack both Dianna and Robert, with ugly name calling and innuendos of bad behavior. It would seem she is throwing a hissy fit over the whole thing.

We have all seen this behavior from people around us, before. You know those folks that lose their jobs and its ALL because of somebody else? Yes that person! Well, that is what is happening here.

I don't know all the details of the argument, about anybody that left. I know, what we have been told by folks, at the Dollhouse. So, as I have said before...Dianna OWNS the Dollhouse Dance Factory...She is in charge...SO if it was her decision to put folks out, I trust she knows what the hell she is doing.  Having said that, I would like to address our disgruntled Mama, Tawantza.

Sugar, sit down somewhere and put your life together. You are acting ridiculous! You have a beautiful child, that can dance...so Why You Still Mad? From the first day you showed up on the show, I had a bad feeling, about your participation. You appeared to be negative and petty and full of yourself. That has proven to be the case, for sure. Your latest antics, online, is definitive proof that you are too immature and too selfish, to make it too far. So seeing how you have acted, just confirms what I knew already.

What is sad about it all, is your child. You could move on and do great things to help her, but you won't. You are spending valuable time, making yourself look like a nut. All those threats and meeting somebody to fight and all of that dumb shit, is ridiculous....GROW UP! YOU GOT PUT OUT! YOU MESSED UP! ACCEPT THAT AND MOVE ON! FOCUS ON YOUR CHILD...NOT ON THE PAST! Don't end up going to jail or messing up the rest of your life, over your anger.

You are not going to make your situation any better by continuing to put this fight in the street. You just look stupid. So WHAT is your ultimate Goal? Is it to prove to the world that you an ignorant, backwards, country bumpkin? OR, do you have the intelligence to wrap up the bullshit and do what it takes to help Zatia, become what she wants to be? It would be a very sad thing to see such a beautiful opportunity go out the window, because you can't see past yourself and your mistakes! And ALL of those SO-CALLED Supporters on your Instagram and other Social Media, LOL....are just there until you are not the newest, shiny object in the box anymore...which won't be long.....they are NOT your friends.

I don't do back and forth arguing on Social Media...ain't down for that....However, I still roll with the Dolls and with Dianna Williams. I still stand firm in my support of their mission and not as an Ass Kisser, as was posted on your Instagram. I don't have to kiss ASS, I see the results of what they do, up close and personal



. So I will continue to defend and support the show and them. Your ranting and raving hasn't changed that. I will also continue to call out the folks that choose to show out....like you. And what you obviously DON'T KNOW, is these folks have put their time in this business...All YOU did was FOLLOW ALONG....If YOU had a valid argument for WHY you were put out, I might feel sympathy for your cause...but obviously you don't. So the question remains? WHY YOU STILL MAD THOUGH? MOVE AROUND & MOVE ON!

WAITING...WAITING....ARE YOU READY? #DD4L

OH MY....WAITING.....WAITING.....
Well DDS Nation...we are only 20 days away from the next Season of Bring It! It has been a long stretch between the Seasons and we are all anxiously, awaiting, the new shows. Over the last couple of months, we have watched many things happen. The rumor mills have been working overtime...Is Tamia gone? Is Zatia gone? Who is going to be Captain? What is a Crab? LOL...All kinds of questions and speculations going on. But it has kept us all busy and not so bored. We are all on the edge of our seats waiting for answers...LOL.

One thing that we have seen throughout this entire break is "Grace Under Fire"! The entire break has been filled with more and more beautiful things happening in the Dollhouse. Dianna hasn't flinched with the all the noise in her ear. When she began this journey, she had a plan. Though the plan may have veered in unknown directions, at times...it has never changed. Dianna knew where she wanted to go a long time ago..and now she is slowly but surely fulfilling each obligation, to get to that goal.

Her Dianna Williams Entertainment...the new school in Atlanta...new offices for her corporation..all things that were in the works...long before the show and long before everybody loved her to pieces. Now those dreams are turning into reality. As we get ready for this new Season of Bring It, we also should be ready to watch this Starship soar even higher. It isn't stopping with one more Season. This is just another step forward.


We have watched Dianna and the girls learn to handle the spotlight like Pros. They went from being shy and scared to blossoming into experts at posing for the cameras and dealing with the thousands of fans, clamoring trying to get a piece of them. It has been an amazing journey to watch. From being called a Small Town, Country Bumpkin...to showing an elegant, educated, well spoken woman, with her own mind and her own spirit. It has been so inspiring to see. I knew from the first time I saw the show, Dianna was going to be here, for awhile. Her determination and tenacity were shining brightly from the very beginning. The hunger for success has served her well throughout this journey.

We are all sitting on the edge of our seats, waiting for the next season and our girls are making their way, across the country, sponsoring Camps and loving the fans. From Chicago to Dallas, girls are continuing to flock to weekend camps to get the chance to dance with Kayla, Camryn and the rest of the Dolls participating.. Fans are filling up the Sunday Shows and getting to spend some great quality time with Dianna and the girls in the "Meet & Greet" Sessions. We have seen such great pictures of them having a blast, all across the country. Watch for me in Dallas...I have 3 granddaughters in Camp and I have tickets for everything...LOL. I hope to talk to our DDP and some of the girls..and if I am SUPER LUCKY, I am going to finally get to give Dianna a hug. I am excited..I will be wearing one of our DDS Nation T Shirts...Watch for pictures.!

So as we countdown to the next Season with our Dancing Dolls, we are excited and anxious to see where they go from here. We have watched Kayla and the other Senior Dolls graduate and get ready to move on to their futures, so we know, going into the new Season, changes are coming. It will be fun to see what transpires next. One thing we are sure of, Dianna is in control. She's got this and though speculation has ranged from total disbelief to total mistrust of her capablities, TRUE Fans KNOW she is smart and no doubt, knows what she is doing. For us, we want to watch her climb higher and to reach more and more folks that love dance and love what she stands for.

Get ready DDS Nation....We are just around the corner from Season 2B....How Will YOU Bring It For The Next Season?

THE YEAR OF DIANNA WILLIAMS AND THE DOLLS

Well it has been just over a year since I became a fan of Dianna Williams and the Dancing Dolls. My first encounter was my granddaughter telling me about them. She was so excited and her first comments were, " Nana, you need to watch this show...Ms Dianna don't play...she is yelling and talking pure trash!" I must have laughed for a full minute, listening to her describe this new show called "Bring It".

I got the chance to see it the next Wednesday. I was totally hooked. Not because anybody was yelling or because Dianna was talking trash. I was instantly hooked because of the mission I could see in this program. Dianna's mission. Teaching girls to have goals and to be dedicated and to work hard for their dreams. Just seeing the affect it was having on my granddaughter, was enough to get involved.

From there, it has been a whirlwind. We have attended the camp in Dallas, took a roadtrip with 4 kids to the Dollhouse and to the first show of this season..I have made hundreds of pictures and many videos to post on Social Media and have written 35 articles for the Fan Blog here. I have met many of the folks from the show and love talking with them, when they have time on Facebook. My intention was not to do the stuff I have done but after seeing the impact, I felt I had to offer any help I could. Since the Internet and Social Media is what I do for work, I thought that would be the perfect contribution. I have loved every second of being involved and truly hope I have contributed to more exposure for this wonderful show.
With so much crap on TV, it was so refreshing to see a show that promoted morals, goals and dedication. I talked to folks who called Dianna a loud mouth and said, How can what she is doing help anybody?.....LOL. Okay. There were comments made that she was teaching the girls to be strippers and porn stars....LOL..Okay...LOL. We had the folks who just had to say, over and over the history of Dianna..any mistake she ever made was thrown in the streets.
I think, all of those negative statements, probably fall into the "Everybody has an opinion" category. It seemed in the beginning, the haters, just jumped out of nowhere, daily. I am sure everybody on the cast of Bring It, grew extremely tired of the mess. There was even a guy on YouTube who was point blank, calling Dianna all sorts of nasty stuff. He was soooo mad when the fans just blew up his page with comments defending Dianna and the Dolls.

But, as with all things that are good...the right thing, wins out over the negative. We are past a year with the show and with the mission of Dianna Williams. We have watched her blossom from a blunt force, trash talking country girl, from Jackson Mississippi, to a beautiful, elegant woman, who can handle herself in any situation. The goal, of helping girls become strong women in Jackson has turned into the sensation of Lifetime TV and has crossed the country like wildfire. Everywhere you go, you find Dancing Doll fans. They are packing the gyms and theaters to get a chance to see all of the Dolls. T shirts fly out the door...girls and guys are signing up for the workshops given in major cities and social media is recording about 250,000 fans and counting. This little ole country girl from down in the Good Ole South, is showing America what they didn't know.


In just over a year, Dianna has taken every opportunity to work and build a positive, long term business. Now, she has created an umbrella of business, that will carry her miles past TV and the Show. She has spent every second planning and using the doors opened to her, to put together a strong conglomerate of businesses. All which will benefit kids and the goals of dancing. Such as the new Dance Studio opening soon, in Atlanta Georgia. With the opening of her new offices, she now can manage things for many ventures, through one place. Having more staff and dedicated associates work directly on projects, will give Dianna more reach and more access to bigger and better opportunities. As we look over the last year and a half, we have not only seen Dianna change and grow, We have also watched girls and women, who also came from Jackson MS, get thrown into the spotlight as well. Women, who didn't start out looking for fame and Hollywood. Just regular, hard working, beautiful women, who wanted their daughters to have every chance possible, to have wonderful lives. Little did they know where it would all go. They have faded dumb stuff..they have taken abuse and negativity, way beyond what most people endure in a lifetime. It has truly shown just how tough and smart, Southern Women are and how willing to fight for better and for our kids, we are.

Tina, Mimi, Selena and Rittany have taken America's hearts by storm. We watched them grow and adapt and be the beautiful Moms, we know them to be. They never wavered, in their goal to help make this show a roaring hit. They have all used this opportunity to help secure better futures for their families and for their own lives. And the girls themselves...WOW..the transformation in pictures from the beginning until now, is amazing. Our BDD...what tough and resilient sweethearts. They are all so grown up and glamorous. From the BDD to our Dolls. It has been like watching butterflies emerge from their cocoons. And,though Kayla has graduated and Tina is no longer an active DDP, so to speak, I feel assured, we will continue to see both of them on the show.

It has been an exciting year for so many in the Dollhouse. It has also been exciting for fans. As a loyal DDS Nation founder & member(Dancing Doll Supporter Nation Founder & Member), I love seeing the reactions of people from everywhere. With over 10,000 views on this blog and thousands and thousands of views on Social Media posts, I have watched the passion take over and watched fans flock to the defense and support of the Dolls, like nothing I have ever seen.

All we have to do is post that someone said something that was negative or hurtful to ANYONE on the Dolls and thousands begin to blow up the opposing views or posts. LOL..No doubt the Dancing Dolls and Dianna Williams of little ole Jackson Mississippi have created a loyalty and a following that is going to last a long, long time. Any event with the Dolls involved sells out, long before its time.Season 2B starts in less than a month and we know the fans are ready. Everybody is excited and waiting to see who our girls battle next and what exciting things will happen at the Dollhouse. I see changes and upsets coming. We will have to wait and see though.

I salute you Dianna Williams and all of the people who have worked so hard to make this happen. I think yall are beautiful and I totally love seeing it happen. It is amazing and reassures me that as I get older and closer to the end of my life, that there are tons of young women teaching our next generation of women to be strong and to go for their dreams. This is so important. The roles women feel they can have in life has changed dramatically, since I was a young girl.
With people like Dianna Williams and the young women she is teaching, women will continue to evolve and grow into adults that are not taken for granted or abused or ignored, because they are women.
I will always be one of your
biggest fans and supporters. God Bless All Of You! On to the next year of success and blessings.

DD4L...DDP...BDD.....DDS NATION...

Dancing Doll Graduation: Turning The Page

For over a year, we have been glued to our TV's on Bring It night. We have watched young girls, go from being kids to being amazing young women. No one thought we would fall in love with them, like we have. We have seen them cry, struggle, dance their butts off, fight through the pain and learn to accept loss. All the while, cheering them on like they were our own.

Each one has brought a special kind of joy to our own lives. They came into our homes and stole our hearts. We have protected them online, as if we had raised them ourselves. Professing our DD4L dedication and love daily. Whether Kayla, Sunjai, Akia, Dominique or Brandye...we have tuned in and turned up, to see them on Lifetime TV.

Now, we are watching, as our beautiful DD4L family moves on to the next phase of their lives. Graduating and turning the page on their future. Each one has made us laugh and cry, as we watched them grow up and become stronger and more beautiful each week. We have an idea, of where some are headed, such as, Kayla, Sunjai & Akia are planning to go to different colleges. But, all of the girls are using experiences and lessons learned from the Dancing Dolls, to build their dreams. They all have plans that have been in the making, for a long time.

As we prepare to Congratulate & say Bye to our girls, we can't help but include the parents of the graduating class. Especially our DDP Moms. At this extremely, appropriate time of the year, Mother's Day, falling so close to graduation, we have to acknowledge the dedication and love shown by these Amazing Women. Being a parent is a difficult job, no doubt. We all struggle with choices and decisions, concerning our children. We all want them to have the best of everything and to have the best opportunities in the World.

The DDP Moms are like all of the Moms, we all know. They work, they raise their families, they cry and they struggle. They are always doing everything within their power, to be sure, their child didn't fall between the cracks. No matter the amount of money or the numerous hours of no sleep, they get the job done...everyday!



It has been an amazing journey to watch this unfold on TV. After getting to know several of the DDP personally, over the last year, I have come to have tremendous respect and love for them. Of course, we see the "SHOW" each week. The stuff, the Producers think will make it more exciting, but the true experiences, are the true facts. Facts like: Mom's who aren't handed everything, on a Silver Platter. Another one, such as fund raising events, other children to take care of, long bus rides, dance fees and more.....all the while, making DD4L, the talk of the World & never missing a beat, turning these girls, into Fabulous Women.

One of the first articles I wrote, for the blog, was about the advantages of girls being involved in dancing, because of some criticism, put out by some naysayers, about the Dolls.  I said, it gives them the tools to be adults. It  makes them strong, capable, independent, young women, with the dedication and courage, to take on anything they may encounter, in life.

We are witnessing that happen on TV, in front of our eyes. While we are entertained, most who watch, recognize the beauty of seeing these young women, bloom. We all can look at these ladies and feel where they are, in their lives. Graduating high school and looking forward to dreams that will bring them the happiness, we all are searching for, at that age. Everything being a new and exciting experience. It's like deja vu, for many of us older fans and for those who are younger and not there yet, it is like an news flash of where they can go, in their quest to follow a dream.
While we are honoring our DDP. we have to put the Mom, we all know & love, at the top of the pile. We all know that leadership is the key to raising successful adults. Dianna has been a huge part of the equation. She has helped to make every step the girls have taken, a step to their future. The respect and love that is shared in the Dollhouse, is the glue that has helped these young women go for their dreams. She is truly a shining example of taking charge of your life and taking control of your future. Hats off to Ms. Dianna for being the person and woman she is.

We all love to watch her, as she teaches these beautiful young girls, how to be strong and successful women. I  know, over all of the years of teaching and nurturing these girls, Dianna feels like she is just as much their MOM as their own MOM'S do. She has hugged them when they needed hugs...scolded them, when she thought they needed that instruction and has picked them up when they fell. She has never let them down and has been there for them over and over. Though tough, she has always shown them the deep felt love that she has for all of the girls that come through the doors of the Dollhouse. The saying, "It takes a village to raise children", is truly, a reality in the Dollhouse family.

Bring It, has been an amazing show. It has been exciting and entertaining for us all. But we have all grown to feel like they are a part of our own lives. We cheer them on, we are sad when they lose, and we hope for the best, for them. Though many will never actually meet any of the Dolls, in person, they still feel connected and care about what happens to them.
We all feel connected to them either through our own love of dancing or through watching our own children and grandchildren, strive to be like Kayla or Sunjai. A goal that has been renewed weekly on Bring It. They have had a monumental impact on thousands of young girls across the country and even in other countries.

As we Turn The Page with our Dolls and watch these wonderful, beautiful young women, move to the next phase of their lives, we all pray for them and wish them love, happiness and success. We also pray for their Moms and families. A Special Mother's Day wish to all of the DDP this year. Kids growing up and leaving is tough, but we know you will be fine.

You are Turning The Page, as well. Watching your babies move foward, making big decisions and holding your hand less and less. This means YOU did an AMAZING JOB...ALL OF YOU! You worked hard and you lost sleep and you cried through the pain to put these WOMEN out in the World. 
CONGRATULATIONS KAYLA, AKIA, SUNJAI, BRANDYE & DOMINIQUE! 

CONGRATULATIONS DDP MOMS! WE SALUTE YOU! 

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY-YOU HAVE EARNED IT! 

We have loved watching you and we wish you all the best! #DD4L #DDP #BDD #DDSNATION !...

PUT YOUR STAMP ON THE WORLD LADIES! 

WE WOULD LIKE TO SEND A SPECIAL MOTHER'S DAY SHOUT OUT TO THE MAMA WHO STARTED THIS JOURNEY, WE ARE ALL GETTING TO GO ON...DIANNA WILLIAMS...YOU ARE MOTHER TO SO MANY! GOD HAS PLACED YOU IN A SPECIAL PLACE! THANKS FOR BEING A SHINING EXAMPLE OF WHAT A WOMAN CAN ACCOMPLISH, AS WELL AS HOW SPECIAL THE LOVE OF A MOTHER CAN BE!
