Overview (plot/synopsis)
editNot only is this section poorly written AND includes first names (WP:LASTNAME), by definition, it is a super summarized synopsis of the season. Please refer to MOS:PLOT and WP:NOTPLOT to understand that this "should contain more than a recap or summary of the works' contents." Additionally, if you also refer to this, I did not use the DVD summation and instead used my own words. Ivaroa (talk) 22:56, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
Cast
editBased on this article, it is stated that the main focus of the show are the mothers and that their daughters play second fiddle, thus the mothers are the ones being paid per episode and not the girls because they would be considered "professionals" and not aspiring dancers. With that said, the mothers are billed before the girls and therefore the dancers are not given their own section and mentioned next to their mothers. Secondly, under "guest performers", I only included those who [a] had a significant role in the season throughout [b] had any amount of accreditation through Lifetime or Abby Lee (such as Gianna or the Senior Dancers), and thus I added citations to prove their credit. The Dance Moms' IMDb and Wikia are not strong enough credits for other dancers such as those who dance with CADC because their mothers weren't with them nor interviewed.
