Merry Christmas Dancing Dolls Supporters Nation. #DDSNATION. Well, what a year it has been. 2014 has definitely been, the Year of the Dolls. We couldn't have predicted last January, what an exciting year it would be, for so many people. Dianna Williams and The Dollhouse Dance Factory started this year off with a huge blast. They set Lifetime TV on fire with an excitement, that continues to roll across America and across the World.
Their popularity has crossed lines of age and location. It may be, they are one of the hottest reality TV shows, to ever hit Lifetime. Everyone in the show is a star. Whether it is Dianna or one of the Dancing Dolls or even the Dancing Doll Parents, America knows their names. They tune in to every show and search social media, to get the latest information about all of the people they love.
Of those people who dearly love the Dancing Dolls, DDS Nation would probably be the most recognized. From the beginning, Lynnette Day, Founder of the Dancing Dolls Supporters Facebook Page and unquestionably, their biggest Fan, has worked tirelessly to build fan support and to show support to Dianna and the Dolls. She didn't realize when she started the Facebook page, just how much it would grow and how it would take on a life, all its own. Now, almost a year later and over a thousand supporters, the DDS Page is not just about showing support for The Dancing Dolls Family, it is also about new found friends and relationships.
We have all taken time from our lives to participate on the Dolls Supporters Page, because of what Dianna stands for and because of the commitment she has to teaching girls important life lessons. As we have taken time for that, we have also gotten to know each other. We have formed life long friendships and have participated in each others daily struggles. We have cheered each other on, comforted each other on tough days and patted each other on the back when we saw a fellow supporter, winning in life.
Our recent trip to Mississippi was the first of many to come. Lynnette said, Road Trip..we responded. We drove from various locations across the country to meet and support Dianna and the Dolls. We raised money, sent and took supplies and lots of love to Jackson. We made our best efforts to let them know how much they mean to so many folks.
Just like the Dolls are evolving and growing in everything they do, the true Fans and Supporters are growing and evolving as well. Being involved in a huge group of people gives you so many perspectives to consider on many topics. Not just the show, but real life issues and situations. We exchange ideas and opinions and call each other out on things that confuse us. Nobody knew a year ago, we would be in this place at the end of the year.
The bonds that have been created because of the Fan based connection to Dianna and the Dancing Dolls, is like no other, I have experienced. As we continue to cheer them on, we are also building a family that doesn't just talk about the show, but a real family that cares if someone we know, is sick or is not around or needs a shoulder or a helping hand. When Lynnette posts a "Good Mawning", we all check in, to say it back. If someone doesn't check in for a day or so, we check on them, to be sure they are okay. Our motto, I think is: Family isn't always about blood, its about the people who accept you for who you are and are there to support you, when you need it. (taken from Daily Quotes).
As we begin 2015 with many personal hopes and dreams, we also begin a New Year with the Dancing Dolls. We know already that when the New Season starts in January, it is going to yet again, set the world on fire. The wonderful things that are happening for Dianna and the entire cast of Bring It, is amazing to watch and such a joy for all of us in DDS Nation.
Seeing the hope and the dedication that Dianna has for her girls, though she has definitely gotten a lot more famous, is why her Supporters stay with her. We are going to continue our undying dedication to supporting and following the Dancing Dolls and Bring It on Lifetime TV. We are excited to see the upcoming season begin.
As we close our these last few weeks of 2014, we all feel blessed and humbled by the experiences of this last year. We have all seen how God's hand is in all of this, for all of us. We are thankful for new friends(family), made through DDS Nation. We look forward to upcoming events in 2015 and the opportunities for stronger bonds and lifetime friendships. We will all be here to scream and cheer, defend and encourage and hold up Dianna and the Dancing Dolls. We will also be here to hold each other up, as we all face life on a real and daily climb..
Merry Christmas Dianna & All of the Dancing Dolls! Happy New To All! God Bless!
God Bless DDS Nation! 2015 is going to be a Year To Remember! Are You Ready To Bring It?
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.
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.
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?
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...
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....
Are YOU a Fan of Bring It & the Dancing Dolls? Over the course of the last few months, the people who watch the show, have started showing their TRUE COLORS. You can check Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or any other Social Site, the Dolls are on and you either see folks that LOVE them and totally support them or people who HATE them & spend lots of time writing nasty comments. It's hard to know who is who, until Dianna or one of the Dancing Doll Parents, won't stop what they are doing, to take a picture. Then those that LOVED them, jump on the HATE bandwagon in a heartbeat.
The problem with that is, the only time known to anyone, they don't agree to take pictures, is when they are grocery shopping, eating out or doing some of the normal things, the rest of us do.They know because of the TV Show, they are going to be recognized and approached. That is a given. However, for someone to get upset because they are just trying to put damn food in their mouth is very silly. It also goes to show, you are NOT a REAL FAN. Your motive for trying to get a photo was selfish. AND if you stroll up and just demand a photo, you can't be serious, thinking that is okay.
Below is the post from Ms. Dianna, about the most recent incident. Mind you, this is not the first one. We just felt as the "Official Dancing Dolls Supporters Fan Blog", we would comment and then give you some "FANS RULES OF ETIQUETTE"
Dianna's comment on the situation sums up her feelings and makes the most ACCURATE statement of her character. She has CLASS! Enough said. REPOSTED ON THIS BLOG FROM FACEBOOK:
Dianna Dancing-Dolls Williams
Understand this! IF I'm eating, I'm not getting up to take a picture. So ???????, if that was rude to you, I'm so sad for you Bc there is no way a complete stranger can walk up to you and say "can I take a picture." Not once did you speak and say, HEY IM SORRY TO INTERRUPT BUT WOULD YOU MIND TAKING A PIC?" It's all in your approach! So since you felt the need to post, here's my response! Happy MONDAY!
1. IF YOU LIVE IN OR AROUND THE AREA WHERE THE DANCING DOLLS PERFORM OR LIVE: ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU MAY RUN INTO THEM AROUND TOWN.
They have to go to the grocery store-just like you do. They don't have a person that does that for them. They were going to the store before they were on TV, YOU didn't see them then?
They enjoy going out to eat, just like you do. Running up to them and intruding on their meal like a Bull In A China Shop, isn't cool. They LOVE their fans, but may not want to take a picture with food in their teeth.
Even though they are on TV, they haven't moved to Hollywood or into a secure compound with a convoy of security. They are just regular hometown people and deserve to continue to live and move around their normal areas, without being treated with disrespect.
2. EVERYBODY IN THE SHOW KNOWS, THEY HAVE LOTS AND LOTS OF FANS. THEY CAN'T TAKE PICTURES EVERY TIME THEY SEE A FAN. EVERYBODY WORKS LIKE THEY DID BEFORE THE SHOW AND HAVE PRIORITIES, JUST LIKE BEFORE: RESPECT THAT! THEY OFFER MANY OPPORTUNITIES TO GET PHOTOS AND TO MEET AND GREET WITH FOLKS FROM THE SHOW. FOLLOW THESE RULES WHEN YOU SEE THEM AND IT WILL MAKE LIFE EASIER FOR ALL.
Do your research and find out where they are performing. Many times, there are photo opportunities at these events for the fans.
If you live in the area of Jackson, probability is, you will see them around town, more than once. If you see them at the grocery store, with their hair tied up or in their flip flops, on a Saturday, 15 mins, after they got out the door, trying to get Cobe some breakfast, PROBABLY not a GOOD TIME to ask for pictures. Think before you ask.
If you don't live in the Jackson MS area, are visiting or whatever applies, it would not be the end of the world, if you don't get a photo, so be considerate of the circumstances..again research on best times. If that is WHY you are going to Jackson...LOL!
3. IF YOU ARE SO DESPERATE TO GET A PHOTO WITH DIANNA OR SOMEONE ELSE IN THE SHOW REMEMBER THESE SIMPLE TIPS:
BE AWARE: THEY ARE UNDER "NO OBLIGATION" TO TAKE A PICTURE WITH YOU!
HAVE THE GOOD SENSE TO TRY AND PICK A BETTER TIME TO ASK FOR ONE-EVEN IF YOU ARE INCONVENIENCED.
HAVE THE "SOCIAL SKILLS AND PROPER ATTITUDE" TO ADDRESS THEM PROPERLY. I MEAN COMMON SENSE TELLS ME THAT RUNNING UP TO THEM AND INSISTING THEY TAKE A PICTURE, IS THE PERFECT WAY TO GET DISMISSED, WITHOUT ANYTHING.
IF YOU GET TURNED DOWN, BECAUSE IT WAS NOT A GOOD TIME, HAVE THE DECENCY TO UNDERSTAND. DON'T JUMP ON TWITTER OR FACEBOOK-TALKING BOUT HOW MS DIANNA IS A BITCH OR WHATEVER. OR GETTING ON YOUTUBE AND TALKING TRASH, CUZZ SHE WOULDN'T DO AN INTERVIEW.
4. DIANNA, THE DANCING DOLLS AND DDP, LOVE THEIR FANS! THEY TAKE PHOTOS, TIRELESSLY AT EVENTS. THEY PLANT A SMILE FOR THE 10 THOUSANDTH TIME...BECAUSE THEY LOVE THEIR FANS SO MUCH.
DISRESPECT IS NOT NEEDED OR ACCEPTED! THE "REAL FANS" KNOW THIS!
DIANNA, THE DDP & OTHERS, COMMENT ON SOCIAL MEDIA TO FAN QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS! BE A PART OF THAT-NOT A SOMETIMER!...
SEE THE POSITIVE THINGS THEY DO! NOT THE NEGATIVE STUFF!
5. IF YOU ARE TRYING TO GET YOUR CHILD ON THE SHOW OR IN THE SCHOOL-NO FREE RIDES BECAUSE YOU LOOK LIKE YOU ARE NICE.
HARD WORK-DEDICATION AND OPPORTUNITY MAKE THE CHOICES FOR DANCERS-NOT SMILING AND BEING FAKE TO GET YOUR WAY!
HELP YOUR CHILD WORK HARD! BE DEDICATED TO YOUR CHILD-NOT THE TV SHOW OR IT'S MEMBERS!
SET AN EXAMPLE FOR YOUR CHILD! DON'T BE UGLY TO OTHERS WHEN YOU CAN'T HAVE YOUR WAY!
This particular group of Dancing Dolls Supporters is a group of mostly parents or older. We don't have many teenagers in our Fan Club. We Attempt to BE ADULTS AND TO SEE THE REALITY of what is happening in Jackson Mississippi, with these INSTANT STARS OF LIFETIME TV...Though we all would love to hug their necks and wish them well, we try to always remember who they were BEFORE the show. Our GOAL is to ACTUALLY SUPPORT THEM!
We will respond to all negative comments that get posted. As before, we ask you to not be selfish and to get a grip on your own attitudes. If you can't FOLLOW the Rules Of Etiquette, then don't, but don't expect the people who support this group to let nasty comments go by without response.
YOU SHOULD SPEND YOUR TIME MAKING YOUR OWN LIFE BETTER VS BEING MAD BECAUSE, YOU DON'T HAVE SOMEBODY ELSE'S LIFE..
Part of the purpose of this DDS Fan Blog is to hopefully address some of the negativity going around about the Dancing Dolls and the TV Show "Bring It".If you are already a Fan, you have seen so much of it, you know,WHAT the purpose of the show is. Teaching not only dance, but discipline, character, perseverance and confidence to young girls & women. Coach D is also teaching values and belief in a higher power...RESPECT for themselves & the courage to go for their dreams.
Today's Fan Post is going to focus on this word: RELEVANT {rel·e·vant } First, the definition of the word "RELEVANT": It's an adjective: It means:"Having a bearing on or connection with the matters at hand"
As the popularity of Bring It grows across the country, we are seeing the normal emergence of haters and naysayers, being played out on the Social Media sites. Hateful comments, degrading statements, videos that criticize and attempt to inflict hurt, seem to be happening more and more. They appear to be coming out of the woodwork, from Youtube to Twitter.
This is one of the latest comments,from an angry "Non-Fan" of the show. It stated that the TV Show was the catalyst that made Dianna & Robert & the Dollhouse Dance Factory "RELEVANT". At first, we laughed at this but feel we should just address the facts of the statement.
So many people just pull words from anywhere, without realizing they are not using them correctly. This "Non-Fan" was attempting to be very salty and judgmental, but only made himself appear to be mad, because he wasn't a part of the whole thing. We hope to bring this message to light, so this person can be made aware of his disrespect and misguided attitude. We also would like to address others, who may feel the same. Maybe by addressing it now, we can eliminate the hateful and unnecessary comments being made.
So for the "SHOW" to be the one and only thing, that makes Robert & Dianna RELEVANT, {or anyone else on the show} it would seem, the people at Lifetime TV, just pulled them all out of nowhere and INVENTED them, JUST for this show. The FACTS are totally contrary to that. REAL Fans know that Ms. Dianna has been involved in the lives of girls and with dance for years. Long before Lifetime TV decided to call. The Fans know the story, behind the excitement. The Fans support her because, they know the story.
Relevance means having a bearing or connection with the matter at hand...The Matter At The Hands Of The Dollhouse Dance Factory Family, now and always, has been "SUCCESS" for the next generation...FROM DAY 1. The Relevance of Dianna & Robert and Everybody involved with the show, was already way above the norm, BEFORE,it was a show. They were relevant in changing the minds and attitudes of hundreds of young women BEFORE the show. They were kicking butt and taking names at competitions, BEFORE the show ever came looking for them.
As we told you, in the first article, Dianna wasn't handed anything on a silver platter. She has struggled & worked & dedicated her life to building this dance school. No handouts, no free rides. Just busting her butt to build something, in this life that was good and produced strong, confident women. Dianna's dream didn't start out with her thinking, "Oh my God, I am going to be on Lifetime TV, on a hit show called, "Bring It"!
The TV Show has been a stepping stone for more opportunities, More chances to touch lives and teach. Fans know the people on the show are just Hometown, Jackson MS folks. They have never professed to be anything else. The Dollhouse Family knows how blessed they are and use those blessings to grow & to help more and more people. That is Relevance. That is doing the right thing no matter what! Those are the "Matters At Hand".
It is totally easy to sit at your computer or TV and watch others doing things and get upset & even easier to hate them, because they are going for their dreams. When people don't go for the dreams they want, they often sit around hating others and the success they see them achieve.They rather degrade and try & destroy other people, instead of put in the work to get their own dream.
The Dancing Doll Supporters are a fierce family,every bit as much as the Dancing Dolls are. No one cares if you don't like them but it should be expected that we will defend them, when "Non Fans" choose to attack without provocation. The relevance of what they do is shining brightly, in our girls(children of the DDS), who have changed their direction in life, because of Coach D and the girls. They are setting goals and getting involved because of Bring It.
We would implore our "Non Fans" to, at the very least, not be haters.That only makes you look bad. It would be great if the OPINIONS offered were not just ugly comments. You don't have to like the Dancing Dolls, but be intelligent enough, to at least offer valid criticism about their performance, their costumes, their location or their, anything else, RELEVANT!
Love Them or Hate Them! Totally a CHOICE. But have the courage to say that, instead of just talking junk. That doesn't appear to make anyone sound more intelligent or be more of a human being. It makes it sound like the jealously is just eating them alive and for them, retaliation, is the answer. The word for that would be: Childish: which means: marked by or suggestive of immaturity and lack of poise{such as using a childish spiteful remark}
We encourage anyone watching the show to take what you see as a positive example of, GOING FOR YOUR DREAM. Hard work and doing the right thing are the foundation for success. That should be the message that people take away from this show. #DD4L

WANT TO SEE THE DANCING DOLLS IN ACTION? JACKSON MS SUNDAY OCTOBER 5, 2014 FREE-FREE-FREE- DON'T MISS OUT! SEE THE DANCING DOLLS, THE DAZZLING STARS, THE DIVAS OF OLIVE BRANCH & THE PRANCING STEPPERETTES COMPETE
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.
