Second Episode Of Bring It? Has Dianna Gone Soft?

We are waking up this Friday morning, getting ready for the second episode of Bring It. After watching the 1st episode, we are all wondering, what is happening at the Dollhouse? Last week's show portrayed Ms. D in a much different light, than it has ever before. From the beginning of the show, Ms. D has been loud and proud of her boisterous attitude. Her demeanor has been one of control, directing all of those around her and never, ever taking any crap from anyone.

In last week's show, we saw a complete reversal of that behavior. As the Miami SupaStarz pulled their bus in to the Dollhouse Dance Factory parking lot, viewers and fans, assumed Dianna was getting ready to come unglued. We just knew that she was coming through the doors of the Dollhouse like a bullet and was fixing to unleash her fury on Tracy ( Miami's Coach).

I think everyone was totally blown away by the real response we saw. As Dianna came out of the Dollhouse, her whole appearance changed. Her normal yelling and talking trash attitude turned into a mellowed, composed and almost silent, lamb. I think it probably floored everyone watching. To see a Dianna that is not on point and that is not telling it like it is, to of all those around her, seemed extremely odd.

Now, here we are waiting for the second episode tonight. What is that going to bring? Has Ms. D made a life change to a more calm and composed coach? Has she gone soft on us? Who knows? The competition tonight is going to be tough...The Divas of Olive Branch are a great team and always offer their best, when they show up for competitions.

What will Dianna do this week to show the Dancing Dolls are better than the Divas of Olive Branch? Well we know she has new female talent in the mix. Zatia is the newest Dancing Doll. Her mom Tawantza has settled in with ease, in the mix of the Dancing Doll Parents. She didn't hesitate to stand toe to toe with Dianna, though it got her tossed from the Dollhouse practice. She is pushing for her daughter's place on the team and on the show. Zatia hasn't shown us what she can do yet, but we know she wouldn't be there, if she wasn't very good.

What else does Dianna plan for this competition with the Divas? It looks like she is bringing in a Secret Weapon? What is that? Well, it would appear she has brought in male choreographers to help boost the Dolls skills. Her statement of putting the baddest heffers on the floor was serious business. Now we will see if the Secret Weapon pays off in the competition. No doubt it is a great idea to get new talent and new dance moves in for future battles.

This season is proving to be different and exciting. As we know with TV Reality shows, if they don't keep it fresh and interesting, the rating fall fast. We are anticipating Bring It to continue to climb in the ratings. The staff and production crew, obviously are paying attention and are coordinating with Dianna to make it the best they can be, each and every week.

We will be watching on this 2nd episode of Season 2 to see if our trash talking, hard working Coach D has changed her demeanor for the future or if we were just seeing a smarter strategy for handling the competition. It is strange to watch, but we can be sure, Dianna knows whats up and she is using every available tool at her disposal to make sure the Dolls are well represented and that they come out winners.

Stay Tuned for the Competition with the Divas of Olive Branch...Tonight on Lifetime TV..Are You Ready To Bring It?

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?

Does Dancing As A Young Girl Or Teenage Girl Make You Grow Up To Be A Stripper?

So after a great trip for the Supporters of the Dancing Dolls, we are back to our normal activities with families and work and of course, our online conversations about the future of the Dancing Dolls and the Upcoming Activities they are involved in. We are all excited to see, just where they are going to advance to, from here. 

As we gather on Social Media to talk and visit and enjoy the company of other Supporters, we are acutely aware of opposition and negativity among others. They come out sooner or later, dressed in Supporter gear, sucking up to Dianna and other members of the DD4L & DDP. They SEEM to be supporters...but they always come out with something negative or something that sounds more like jealously than SUPPORT. Or they go to a filmed event and can't hardly wait to get home and upload their funky videos of competition....or tell who the winner was..LOL

This blog article is going to address the FACTS of one of the most RECENT ATTACKS on Dianna and the Dolls. Majorette Dance has been around since the 1700'S...  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majorette_(dancer)..NOT a new discovery.

We had a Supporter, recently, say that she felt the dances being done by the Dolls at various competitions and the music being played, was too provocative for girls to do and that it would probably make them grow up want to be STRIPPERS......OKAY....Deep Breath...LOL..Okay!

Instead of cussing or calling names, we want to provide the FACTS of what dance does do to girls who get involved in ANY kind of dancing. We are providing actual facts, provided by experts in the field of dance. These two examples are by Professionals who have observed the results of dancing in both young children and in teenagers. These facts, include all types of dancing. It does not discriminate between different kinds of dancing.

If you don't KNOW the benefits and are judging what Dianna Williams is trying to do with these kids, it is important to have more knowledge versus just looking so damn ignorant.

As for the subject of child exploitation, I would venture to say NOBODY GUARDS the integrity or the safety or the well being of those girls, more than Dianna Williams. She is going to be the first to say NO, they aren't doing that or I don't like the way this is done, because of concern for the girls. She would NEVER stand by and allow ANY exploitation. So That was a Silly Argument as well. 

However, WE KNOW, as Supporters, exactly what the benefits are. We are Supporters, not just because they are on TV. We are Supporters because we have a child or grandchild who has dreamed of dancing and because of  Bring It, NOW have the courage to go for their dreams...seeing REAL girls, struggling to have the best life possible.

We are Supporters, because we have children who have been dancing at the Dollhouse Dance Factory. Though we may not be on TV, we are there, supporting our girls..who get exactly the same instruction that everyone else that you see, gets. We are Supporters because we can SEE the benefits listed below, working in so many girls we know.

It is not now, nor never has been about a Damn TV Show. It is about the END Results! It is about teaching girls and young women to be STRONG...INDEPENDENT....SELF CONFIDENT...To DREAM....

It would SEEM to the TRUE SUPPORTERS of the Dancing Dolls, who do get it...that it is all about those things....It would also SEEM That the Supposed Supporters are just looking for an avenue to something else....They FAILED to secure their own dream and if Dianna won't acknowledge them or give them the time of day, they turn like a bad apple. They start spewing nastiness and calling it SOUND ADVICE...

**Here is a quote from Robert Williams(Dianna's Husband) I took from Facebook:

"I can stand on the sideline and watch another brother/sister shine. When it was my time to get in the game and it wasn't a position for me, I created my own team. There is plenty of opportunities for you than to hate on someone else running their team (dreams). Get your own. Got the same 24 hrs just like the next man"!.....***********

BRAVO Robert! I couldn't have said it better myself. EVERYBODY has the opportunity to GO FOR THEIR DREAMS...If you spend you time trying to steal or degrade others, you are wasting valuable time to get your own dream taken care of. NOBODY GAVE this dream to Dianna Williams and her family...she worked her ass off for it...They ALL did...Everybody in the show.

Nobody CARES if YOU DON"T LIKE Dianna or the Show..or The STYLE OF DANCE. or the MUSIC.....That's cool..Your RIGHT...However, to get upset over WHAT YOU THOUGHT was good advice, that turned out not to be...is childish and petty. IF you DON'T WANT to BE A REAL SUPPORTER...Just find something else to do. Like Be A Positive Influence On The Children In Your Care.

Of the hour and half of research, I have done on this question about girls progressing from dancing class to stripping, I was unable to find any supporting data or study to confirm that theory. Everything I found about the subject, proved, not only does dancing teach discipline and determination, it teaches self esteem and self confidence. Because of this FACT, a girl is less likely to become engaged in ANY activity that would prove to destroy that self confidence. So the ASSumption that dancing to any certain music or any certain style of dance can cause a girl to be a stripper, a whore or anything else negative is just somebody's opinion.

Of course, we knew that. We also know, there will always be people trying to discourage or discredit the Dancing Dolls. Not because the Dolls or Dianna deserve that but because people are more intent on minding other peoples business, instead of focusing on their own. What makes it sadder is many of those critics are LEADING CHILDREN...THEY are responsible for the minds of the young, just like Dianna Williams.

YET, they are using that Golden Opportunity to SHOW those kids how to be jealous, petty and to do whatever it takes to attempt to look good yourself.or to instill false ideas such as the complaint above...KIDS NEED to HEAR FACTS...NOT YOUR MESSED UP FEELINGS? ..They do this, even at the expense of others....And we wonder WHY our youth are so messed up?..I don't....

When ADULTS don't grow up and be Adults, they should not be in charge of RAISING OTHERS. We can pray for all involved in this latest controversy and we will. 

But BE INFORMED...AS TRUE SUPPORTERS...IF YOU Come to Social Media, With The Intent Of Trying To Degrade And Discredit Dianna Williams or Anyone Associated With The Dancing Dolls, WE WILL DEFEND HER. BECAUSE WE BELIEVE IN HER.....To the point of running you out of OUR SPACE on a rail. Don't Like her..don't like the Dolls...don't like US....Cool Beans! That's Just Fine!

BUT Don't Show Up With Hateful Attitudes Cause You Are Jealous...Trying To Portray Unfounded Concern In the Face of Your Jealously.......Start Your Own Page...Start Your Own Dream...Get A Life For Real: Maybe READ MORE: Like the Stuff Below...LOL

The information below is posted from another site. Actual observations by Dance Educators and Professionals Concerning The Benefits of Dancing and Children/Teens.

According to the National Dance Education Organization: The Benefits of Dance In Early Childhood Are:

	Dance is a powerful ally for developing many of the attributes of a growing child. Dance helps children mature physically, emotionally, socially, and cognitively. The physical benefits of dance are widely accepted, but the emotional, social and cognitive attributes have only recently begun to be appreciated.     Physical Development: Dance involves a greater range of motion, coordination, strength and endurance than most other physical activities. This is accomplished through movement patterns that teach coordination and kinesthetic memory. Dancing utilizes the entire body and is an excellent form of exercise for total body fitness. Young children are naturally active, but dance offers an avenue to expand movement possibilities and skills.  Emotional Maturity: Dance promotes psychological health and maturity. Children enjoy the opportunity to express their emotions and become aware of themselves and others through creative movement. A pre-school child enters a dance class or classroom with a history of emotional experiences. Movement within a class offers a structured outlet for physical release while gaining awareness and appreciation of oneself and others.  Social Awareness: Dance fosters social encounter, interaction, and cooperation. Children learn to communicate ideas to others through the real and immediate mode of body movement. Children quickly learn to work within a group dynamic. As the ongoing and sometimes challenging process of cooperation evolves, children learn to understand themselves in relation to others.  Cognitive Development: Young children will create movement spontaneously when presented with movement ideas or problems that can be solved with a movement response. Movement provides the cognitive loop between the idea, problem, or intent and the outcome or solution. This teaches an infant, child and, ultimately, adult to function in and understand the world. The relationship of movement to intellectual development and education is an embryonic field of study that has only recently begun to be explored. ALSO ANOTHER SOURCE: THE DANCE ACADEMY uSA: DECEMBER 6, 2011 6 Noteworthy Benefits Of Dance For Teenagers Dance is a fantastic extra-curricular activity for teenagers to participate in.  While the list of reasons is substantial, for starters, here are 6 noteworthy benefits of dance for teenagers: One – Dance is an all-around healthy activity.  We all need a little bit more exercise in our lives…teens included.  And when it comes to getting some much-need cardio, dance delivers very nicely.  Plus, dance is also an excellent way to build an all around fit body.  Two – Dance is a great way to meet people with similar interests.  Sometimes the teenage years can be challenging socially, to say the least.  It can be hard to meet new people who teens can really identify with and make lasting connections.  Dance is a great way to connect with a diverse group of other teens who all come together for a similar “cause.” Three – Dance provides a way to get off the street.  Many teenagers desperately need a place to go and an activity to participate in that is wholesome and can provide a healthy outlet to escape from the challenges and pressures of everyday life as a teen.  The dance studio makes a fantastic escape from harsh realities and helps promote a positive outlook. Four – Speaking of positive outlook—dance is a great way to help teens develop better self-confidence.  The teen years are a trying time in life…there’s peer pressure and many other things that are at the forefront of concern, day in and day out.  Fortunately, dance provides an excellent dose of self-esteem, self-respect, and self-confidence through its opportunities for learning and making notable accomplishments. Five – Activities like dance help teens perform better at school. Maybe it all connects back to the increase in self-esteem and confidence that extra-curriculars like dance provide for teenagers, or maybe it’s even from the brain stimulation that dance and music are proven to promote.  Either way, the results are attractive—having an activity like dance in their lives very often correlates to achieving better grades in school. Six – Dance equals discipline.  Learning complicated dance routines and continuing to improve skills and dancing abilities is certainly a challenge.  But the good news is that most kids thrive on challenges like this, especially so when they’re as fun as dance is.  At any rate, dance does have strong connections to building discipline; and without discipline, it is not very easy at all to get to the next level…in dance or in life. FROM THIS   TO THIS?....NAH...SERIOUSLY? LOL...HELL NAH....
