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?

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.
