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.

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!

Bring It Is Back...Watch Out PrimeTime Friday's...The Dancing Dolls Are Bringing The Fire Again!!



"Ding, Ding, Let's Go" Ms D. proclaims. Wow, we have missed you Ms. D. The anticipation over the last few months has been painful, to say the least. Fans & Supporters of the Dancing Dolls have filled in the break period with reruns and youtube videos.

But, the wait is over. In less than 48 hours, Bring It, will hit Primetime TV with a showdown with Miami. Of course this my personal favorite episode this Season because it is the one we went to see in person with my babies and the other DDS Family. Our trip to Mississippi to see the Battle with the SupaStarz in Vicksburg,was amazing. Can't wait to see it ..Can't give away the results, you will just have to tune in.

For all of the folks who watch Bring It, you know what that Miami Supastarz means Ms Tracy and all glitz and flair they bring to the competition.  They have emerged as one of the top teams to battle against the Dolls. They never come unprepared and they always come with that Miami attitude. This Season promises to be better than ever.

If you have seen the promo's for Season 2, you know there is new blood coming to the Dollhouse. There will be a new dancer in the midst and a new mom. From the looks of the clips I have seen, she is going to have a hard road to travel, to get the attention she is looking for, from the other DDP Moms. She is vying for her daughter's place on the floor. And Ms. D is coming with a new attitude this season. She says, "I'm gonna put the baddest heffa's on the floor"! And Ms. D. don't play favorites, nor does she take any mess, from anybody! Which means Lookout America!...The Dolls ain't playing and they ain't backing down!

As we have seen over the break, though the show hasn't been on as usual,the Dolls never stopped working, after the Season on TV ended. Kayla, Sunjai, Camryn, Chrystianna and of course our Baby Dancing Dolls, haven't stopped for a second. They have worked harder than ever to get ready for this new Season. The Battle for the Best Dance Teams in America is getting ready to begin.

With each Season, comes new recognition for the Dancing Dolls. This off season has brought more training camps, more high profile exposure for Dianna and the Dolls. Their popularity has grown so much, Dianna is planning a trip to Africa, for interviews and other new ventures. From places across the World, people are getting to know the Dolls and are excited for them to come to their cities. It has been amazing to watch the love for them grow. It would seem that dancing crosses all language and cultural barriers.

Our girls, that we all love so much, are getting new opportunities as well. They are exploring their options for life after the Dolls and for ways to continue to live their dreams.  We continue to wish them the best things possible, as they grow into their stardom. We are sure their experiences with the Dolls is going to carry them well, throughout their lives.

We have seen through the off season, their family attitude isn't just for show, it is for real. As if filming, competing, going to school and just living & working aren't enough, the Dolls family has experienced much real life sadness. They continue to prove to us, the courage and character of everyone involved, by the way they handle tragedy. The real life responses to these kinds of things, makes them even more of a role model to us. The grace and love and support they show each other, as well as continued strength, gives us life lessons to remember.

As we start this New Year with a New Dancing Doll Season, we are all excited for them and are curious to see what the year brings.. It would seem it is off to a great start with their new "Bring It" contest, featuring Tinashe. If you haven't heard her new single, "All hands on deck", it is a great song. Watch the Dolls here dancing to Tinashe's new song : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seRLrLTBcy0&feature=youtu.be
Bring it is using the song in the new promo for the Dolls. Check out the contest and see if you can "Bring It" good enough to win. Get the details here. http://www.howibringitsweeps.com/

We know every episode of the New Season is going to be fantastic. It is also going to be in a much better spot this season. Bring It has moved from Wednesday to Friday, in primetime. This is going to increase their popularity and their exposure across the country. Folks that couldn't watch before, because of work, will be able to tune in each week now. So mark your calendars now...Friday, January 23rd 9 pm eastern/8 pm central, the competition begins again.

As we go into this new Season, we are going to be here talking about the Dolls and about the show. Our first interview with Kayla was great. Watch for more interviews with members of the Dolls, as well as, in-depth stories on What its like to be an up and coming Doll, and what it takes to be a DD parent. Also will be posting info on their upcoming training camps and places they are going to be.

Don't miss anything this Season...Watch the Dolls Bring The Fire To Lifetime TV Again! How Do You Bring It?

Dancing Dolls Captain Kayla: Living In The Dream & Beyond

Well the new season of Bring It is getting ready to take off on January 23rd. As we wait, with great anticipation, to see each episode of the show, we want to take time to get to know all of the wonderful people, who are a part of the Dollhouse Dance Factory and the show. We are reaching out to both Dancing Dolls and DDP to get you exclusive information and answers to your questions. Over the course of this Season, we hope to interview everyone, you have been dying to hear from and to get their thoughts and feelings on everything, "Dancing Dolls" and their own lives apart from the Dolls. Let's get started.




Our first Doll Showcase Interview is Captain Kayla. Kayla has emerged as a strong dancer and a strong leader. Since she was very small, Kayla  has always loved dancing. It was evident from a young age, she had a drive and a love for the arts and in particular, for dancing.

Since starting classes at the Dollhouse Dance Factory in 2008, Kayla seems to be in fluid motion, all the time. Simple chores and activities become a practice session for her passion. Kayla told us she has never really been involved with any other sports. She said, " Nothing else makes me feel like I feel when I am dancing". She also says, "Spending so much time together, that to say the Dolls are a "sisterhood" is an understatement. Having patience is important. Like Dianna always says, "All of our lives have ups and downs, happy times and bad ones".  Kayla said, "I have experienced life both ways."

Kayla's passion for dance was, no doubt, passed on to her, by her mom,Tina.
Tina loved dancing from childhood as well, getting involved in middle school, but then let it go. Though she didn't pursue dance, as a career, she loves to dance, anytime the chance comes around. Her dance, "The Fat Girl Shuffle" is a tribute to her love of dancing. It's also recognition of her ability to be a self confident, in control, woman. 

Kayla and Tina have a mother-daughter relationship that is what everyone hopes for with their children. Honesty, support, dedication and love. Tina says her hope for Kayla, for now and for her future, is to be happy and to live life without regrets and guilt. Tina says being a Dancing Doll has given her daughter many lessons that will benefit her throughout her life. Tina said, "Dancing Dolls has shown her the good, bad and ugliest of the world. Dancing Dolls is not a scout troop and nothing is "sugar coated". Ms. D is not always the most agreeable person, but neither is life. Being with the girls and with DDP, Kayla can always say she has got 50+ sisters and 50+ moms, that have her back."

Kayla's Dad is also a huge part of her life as well. Terrell and Kayla are very close on the show. He is involved with the show and is there for advice and support, all of the time. The fatherly influence he has, is apparent and just makes us love this family even more. They put their family ahead of personal things and focus on the best for all involved in the family.

Tina believes that Kayla is ready for whatever the world brings her. Her experience with Ms. D and the Dancing Dolls, has given her many life skills that will make her successful, whatever the future brings to her. 

We wanted to see what Kayla's plans are for the future, so we ask her what's next? She told us, her number 1 goal is to continue to dance. She also said, College is definitely in her plan but she has not made a decision on which College she wants to attend. She also says, "Owning my studio is a vision in my mind, but I am just going to follow my heart right now. I don't know exactly what my future holds, but I am going to always do what makes me happy." She told us that being Ms. D's Assistant at the Dollhouse definitely sounds good. "Time will tell", Kayla said, "I'm already the Majorette Instructor, so we will have to see if the Assistant position is next."  

Both Kayla and Tina agree that the Dancing Dolls experience has been positive and has given Kayla the lifeskills to succeed throughout her entire life. Though the show has obviously been a plus, the character and personality that Kayla has grown into, has been highly impacted by her involvement with Ms. D and the Dollhouse. No matter the future of the show, Kayla will continue to use the skills she has gained to make her life work and to be the happy person she is now, for her entire life.

As a #DDSNATION member, I will continue to root for Kayla and for Tina and the rest of their family. We are so excited to see her become a woman and to see her grow, as a part of the Dollhouse Family. Kayla & Tina have become a part of our families and our hearts, as have the rest of the girls and the DDP. It's amazing to watch all of them, as they change and grow into wonderful young women. Our future looks very bright when you see these young women becoming the next generation.

Dianna has impacted many lives in Mississippi and across the country. Her dedication to her girls at the Dollhouse, is a testament to her love and devotion, to the next generation of women and her desire to give back to the community. She not only shines her light for the girls, it shines for the DDP as well. Her legacy will live on in young women like Kayla and will be an influence in girls lives for many years to come. 

Kayla is the first, of many Dancing Doll stories, who we hope to highlight this Season. Stay tuned for our next Interview.....Thanks Kayla and Tina for letting us be a part of telling your stories. We have tremendous respect and admiration for ya'll and look forward to watching you great things. God Bless You And Your Families.

Supporting The Dancing Dolls In Jackson

Well, last weekend was a huge success for the Dancing Dolls Supporters Group. We loaded our vehicles and made our way over to Jackson, Mississippi, to show our support for the girls we love.

Some folks came in on Friday night. Those that were able to get there early, gathered in front of the Dollhouse Dance Factory to take pictures and get to know other Supporters. Ms. Lynnette Day was there with her daughter and son, coming in from Illinois. Several folks like Ms. Shirley Arnold drove up from Florida. Others like Myzz Richardson & Ms.Cheeky, are Jackson natives and are more than familiar with the Dollhouse fame in Jackson. Rose Patton, Angela Barton and others came in force to show their support.

I took 4 of my favorite kids with me. We left Dallas, decorated and full of DDS Spirit with our car reflecting that spirit. We had Dollhouse Dance Factory or Bust on the Front and Honk If You Love The Dancing Dolls on the side. As we rolled across Texas, Louisiana & Mississippi, we were bombarded with Horns honking in support.

As Supporters pulled into the parking lot of the Dollhouse, we were all almost giddy with excitement. My crew was giggling uncontrollably when we pulled in. As we parked, we were very aware of the Security presence. We knew before arriving, they were filming for next season and knew we had to follow procedure in order to hang out. We were greeted by Robert Williams, who everybody knows is Dianna's cool husband. He is a great representative for the Dancing Dolls. The man behind the scenes, but for Supporters on Facebook, we know him as the Ambassador for the Dolls. He is the first one walking around at events or activities, talking with fans and quietly managing more than anyone actually sees. On every occasion, Robert was going the extra mile, to allow us to be excited and to get a chance to be more involved, while we were there. He helped to secure the supplies we had brought along and get them inside to their storage area. He is a gracious host and made us all feel very welcome.

We also got the chance to spend some quality time with our favorite DDP Moms, Tina & Mimi. They were absolutely the friendliest and most down to earth folks we have met. It didn't feel like you were talking to somebody on TV, it felt like spending time with friends. They have not let the TV hype keep them from being real. We truly enjoyed hanging out with these special ladies. Though we didn't get to see Ms. Dianna, we were acutely aware of the pressure she was under, with the pending competition on Sunday. Her drive for perfection, drives her dedication to doing whatever it takes to get the job done.
We had fun trying to peek in the window and trying not to get caught. Robert intervened with security on our behalf, to let us get, just a glimpse inside. I was not at the window..I was standing close to Robert..just in case she heard us out there. It was all in fun and we are happy, we got to have the experience.

After our initial excitement..we all retreated to our hotels to get some rest and get ready for a big day on Saturday. Everybody came with the anticipation of going to the Jackson State Football game or doing some site seeing or visiting with friends. So Saturday brought different activities for different folks. For the people that went to the JSU game, that proved to be excitement all in its own. As with all college football games, the fans were on fire. Tailgating parties, hundreds of fans in the stadium and the Sonic Boom, totally pumped up. Though the game was a loss, the halftime show and the ongoing band show was well worth the efforts to get through the traffic and the overwhelming crowd.

Sunday was our cherry on top, for the weekend. We all came to be there for Sunday. The Dancing Dolls Competition in Vicksburg. We were all advised by CEO to get there early for good seats. He wasn't joking about that. It was impossible for us to all sit together, but we made contact and were all ready to cheer on our Dolls. Because it was part of the taping, it was a longer process than it would be normally. As with any TV show, if it wasn't perfect, they had to redo it until it was. That part made us laugh and gave us numerous opportunities to cheer. The Miami team was in full force as well, which made it even more fun. Throughout the competition, though being filmed, the fight was real and the results were real. The fan support was absolutely for real. Both sides were showing their dedication to these wonderful dance teams. It made us all feel closer and more determined than ever to be an amazing source of support for our Dancing Dolls.

We hope to take another trip to Jackson, to bring DDS Nation to our Dolls. We are united online and in person for this cause. Seeing them in person, spending time in their town and participating in the show, has brought it into reality for us. We see in person the dedication of Dianna Williams and her team, to the growth and support of young women. On TV, sometimes, it can appear to be sort of phony. And as supporters,we know for it's continued success, a certain amount of direction has to take place. But the purpose is real and Dianna is real. The fight is for real, every single competition. The soul behind the purpose, is surely for real.

We are DDS Nation and we will be here to support them, as long as they will have us. DD4L...Thanks For Having Us In Jackson, Mississippi! It was a great weekend. Memories for a lifetime.

We will be tuning in next season to see what happens. Will you be there with us too?

Going To Jackson



Well, tomorrow, DDS Nation is headed to Mississippi. A bunch of Dancing Dolls Supporters are going down to show support for Dianna and The Dancing Dolls at a couple of events. We are all excited to get the chance to show our support at a competition. Though many aren't able to go this weekend, we are united in spirit..They are shouting from their homes..supporting us going to support Dianna and the Dancing Dolls...We are a huge family and we are pulling together to show that support.

As we pack up and get ready to go, we are all thinking about the past season of Bring It and how it fired us all up. Each week we have gathered on Social Media and posted our thoughts and excitement about each upcoming episode on Wednesday.

Anticipation of every competition began 5 minutes after midnight on Wednesday. Facebook buzzing with everybody's thoughts on each segment of the previous nights dance. Talking about the next episode all the way up till time for it to air. The comments, always positive, flow on the Supporter page throughout the day.

These were some of the positive comments posted about the last episode for the season:

Shannon T Carter said: I loved it!' Im so proud of kayla Camryn Sunjai Crystianna last but not least Caleda for stepping in when Crystianna took sick.Hands Down for all of the cast of Bring it! Looking forward for season 2
OR

Rachel W Eagle luved it.. the dancer bcame coach d themselves.. had to show coach d that her girls get everthing she taught them... I was proud of all those girls...


Angela B #lovedit can't wait for another road trip


E K DeEricka Stroye Loved it!! #fan4life #dd4lllllllll

If you are thinking these are KIDS making these comments..you would be wrong..These are moms and grandmothers and grown women who have fallen in love with the Dollhouse Dance Factory, Ms. Dianna Williams and the Dancing Dolls. They clear their schedules each week to be in front of the TV when Bring It comes on.

We have seen with the huge fan base that the Dancing Dolls have, their appeal is not limited to an age group, ethnic group or career group. It spans across the normal boundaries to a like minded group of people who love to see the excitement and hard work these ladies put into their dance training and their dance competitions.

Our trip this weekend to Jackson is a testament of that appeal. Though many are traveling several hours to get there, people are loading their cars tomorrow, on a mission to show their support at the next competition the Dancing Dolls are participating in.

We are hoping to be the solid fan support that keeps the Dancing Dolls, out in the limelight. We are talking about them, sharing information & going down to visit, to that end. We know the mission of Dianna Williams and the Dollhouse Dance Factory. We know it is bigger than TV. Though there are many look alike dance teams, who seem to be determined to copy the Dancing Dolls, not only in the way they dance but by using their call letters with their logos.

We know, there is only one DD4L and though others may add the 4L to their names..it will never be the same as the Dancing Dolls...Ms. D has made that term, synonymous with her brand. Others may come out trying to show, they can be Ms. D, but, they can never have the passion and the heart she brings to "Bring It" and to the girls she in charge of.

DD4L is bigger than a TV show and no matter the status of the show, DD4L has a following like no other. The Fan Supporters are a part of a movement to teach our girls to be strong and independent. It is a Dianna Williams movement. An Independent, Hard Working, Caring Woman, who wants everybody's lives she touches, to be empowered and aware of the potential they have to be, what they desire to be.

Sadly, so many other dance teams would also be beneficial for our young women, if they taught them the value of being original and standing on their own merit vs adopting someone else's ideas.

We plan to rock the house on Sunday supporting our Dolls...Stand down look alikes...We don't do fake.....See you in Jackson DDS NATION...

WE ARE DDS NATION...FROM COAST TO COAST..SUPPORTING THE DANCING DOLLS THE MOST.....DD4L....

Getting To Know The Dancing Dolls-Introducing Dianna "Dancing Dolls" Williams



If you have watched the new TV Show," Bring It", on Lifetime, about the Dancing Dolls Dance Team from Jackson, MS, you know they are taking America by storm. The show is a inside look of the work that it takes, to teach young women dance and to compete in competitions.

Dianna Williams, the founder and sponsor of the Dollhouse Dance Factory has taken a dream and turned it into a reality. Her work ethic and dedication to the girls she teaches is what endears her to the viewers. Because of her own difficulties in younger years, Dianna is determined to give back to the girls in the Jackson community. In an interview with the Christian Post, Dianna said:

"Our show teaches life lessons. It is an in depth look into these kids lives and you see the struggle, the heartache," Williams told The Christian Post. "There is some comic relief in there and a little bit of drama all mixed together. On the show we talk about so much from the relationships with the parents, to the relationships with me and how important it is to go to school and have faith in God."

"With teen pregnancy on the rise our girls need something that they can do, something that's positive. Community dance teams such as myself, which there are a lot here in Jackson, is keeping kids off of the streets," Williams told CP. "It gives them a sense of pride and determination. These kids know that they have to be academically successful plus they know they have those extra mentors and counselors to push them to be great."

"Starting the Dancing Dolls was not only a way for me to redeem myself and a way to do something good, but to help somebody else as well. These kids..They're like me," Williams told CP. "I tell them..utilize me as a walking, talking example of what not to do as a kid. But at the same time I want them to understand that people make mistakes and there is a God out there that does forgive and allows you to redeem yourself and move on."

The Dancing Dolls spent the summer traveling across America to hold dance camps for the many fans of the show. My own granddaughter attended the camp in Dallas, Texas. At every camp, girls lined up to get the chance to dance with the talented girls from the show. Parents lined up to get the chance to see them perform. Venues were packed. Kayla, Camryn, Sunjai & Chrystianna, had young women excited and eager to pursue dancing. Their discipline and desire to always improve and to do whatever it takes to be their best, has given girls that follow the show, hope and confidence, they can do it too. They are continuing examples of what you can do with the right attitude.

With the Lifetime TV Show, Dianna Williams' dream has started to spread across the country. Girls everywhere have been tuning in and turning it up for an entire season now. With the 1st Season finale done, Dianna and the Dolls are gearing up for what appears to be another successful season on Lifetime. Season 2 promises to be more in depth and more exciting than Season 1. The Fans are excited already and will be in front of their TV's at the first episode of the New Season.

As we follow the Dancing Dolls,Coach Dianna Williams & the Dancing Dolls Parents, on their show and in their competitions, that aren't on TV, we hope to offer an in depth view of the picture behind the show, as well as the updates and latest news on the show.

As fans, we offer our complete support, prayers, good wishes and continued success to Dianna and the Dancing Dolls. Though there are negative things that have been said, we intend to focus on the positive. We are watching the Dancing Dolls grow and spread their message weekly. We hope to be the positive voice for their valuable mission to help our young women be strong, independent, confident women. We want to also be the source for the FANS of The Dancing Doll's Supporters, to get the latest information on the show and their ongoing competition schedule off of the show.
