Baby Ballroom (2017– ) User Reviews

Really charming kids

[brakka-1 · 9/10 · 6 May 2020]

Pretty wholesome show; it's like the good version of Toddlers & Tiaras. I don't find the parents pushy at all, they seem to be the right amount of supportive and loving. The kids seem balanced and well-mannered.

The kids steal the show, especially the younger ones. They are just so adorable and pure, and happen to be exceptionally talented. I agree with the other critique - I wish they would show longer shots of the dancing itself.

I love the third daughter, blazing her own trail to become an astronaut. I hope she makes it to the stars!

It's a shame how much makeup the girls cake on, though, even when not dancing. It's an unfortunate trend and doesn't look good and I legit thought one of the Mias was wearing blackface because the makeup was so dark.

I haven't watched the second season but I look forward to catching up with the Zig Zag fam and seeing how the kids have progressed.

Beautiful dancing of the very young dancers

I thought the series was very interesting because I had no idea such young children could dance so beautifully, and had these competitions that they really love. The girls' dresses are out of this world, so gorgeous! My only critique is that I wish they showed longer segments of the dancing and had less interruptions with people talking to the camera. Sometimes the camera moves around between the couples so fast you can't quite see enough of the dance moves. I'd like the camera to show an entire dance of one couple sometimes. Very impressed with the dancing skills of these young couples! I was amazed at the dedication of the students and the parents - driving hundreds of miles for practices and competitions. Warren and Jane appear very warm and encouraging and are also quite funny. I liked the show very much and please continue!

Surprisingly addictive!

Much like children's baking competitions "Baby Ballroom" stars young kids with absolutely no filter and I love it. They say whatever they want, and they really mean it. I also thought it gave a closer look at the competitive world of kids ballroom dancing, the kiddies love it.

Incredibly nice dancing show!

A really cool documentary show about children's dance hobby! It's amazing to watch a show, where the coaches are normal and loving, not yelling at the children nor telling them they eat too much. Children are saying funny comments all the time and you can really see their real personalities. This is how all hobbies should be!

The ups and the downs.... the cheers and the tears....

(updated & edited 11/21/18) At first I didn't think I'd enjoy this show, and passed by it numerous times, mostly because I don't tend to enjoy reality shows. But once I did decide to watch this, I was pleasantly surprised. I loved watching the kids dancing and learning. it really wasn't much different from the parents and the kids who play other sports and activities, like baseball, football, cheerleading, hockey, etc There are always some parents who are more involved, perhaps a little louder than the rest, and take the activity very seriously... especially if they are investing a lot of time and money. Even though some of the parents appeared to be a little more overbearing than others, none of the kids seemed to be negatively affected by the pressure. In fact, they took the criticism and basically moved on. And yes... some might look upset at the moment, but that's part of the sport if you want to be champion. And while watching this show, I had no doubt that each child, criticism or not, loved what they were doing. I recall at one point, after a particularly 'strong' and critical verbal lashing from his dad, Max was asked about his take on that. For an eleven year old, his response was very mature. He basically said, and please don't quote me.... that it was all a part of this activity. He said that his father wanted him to succeed .... and that his dad did it because he loved him and wanted him to be a Champion. And Max added that HE wanted to be a champion too. (to Max's parents: Max seems to be a good kid and a good dancer. You two have done a good job both with parenting and teaching him dance. Not an easy task).

I love this show cannot wait for additional episodes to be added! I don't get regular TV, but I watch Baby Ballroom on Netflix, so I am anxiously waiting for Season 3. Thank you to the kids and parents for letting us take a somewhat honest peek into your ballroom, and sometimes private lives. I'm sure that it wasn't easy being followed around by a camera crew. And much thanks to Jane and Warren for allowing us to see the ups and the downs... the cheers and tears...which is the reality of any competitive activity. Also... thank you.... to you and your three lovely daughters who allowed us to see their passions, on and off the ballroom floor. It was obvious that there was genuine love, talent, and caring in your family. The very best of luck to all of you!

PS..... Thank you Warren for responding to the one negative review here. I wanted to as well, but was afraid that it might come out as a negative review of their negative review, and we wouldn't want that to happen! You did a fine job.

Chippendales and Baby Ballroom cannot coexist !

[pchartier-89392 · 2 January 2022]

Safe 2022 to all readers. I'm in the process of viewing the full series of BABY BALLROOM for a second time. And for this second time, I once again felt outrage when reaching Season 1, Episode 8, 31 : 40.

Coach Warren, husband and father, was given the O. K. by his wife Jane, mother of the triplets, to explore and display his very discernable homosexual fantasies.

The Ballroom couple's private life is none of my business, but when Warren chooses to bring half-naked body builders in golden bikinis to the school's fiesta, there's something VERY WRONG ! Some of the youngest attendees were four years old and a few parents expressed their discomfort.

So Warren, can't stay in the closet all the time ? Talk to Jane. BUT don't you bring minor children/students in contact with your world of painted musclemen in tiny bikinis ! Morally wrong is not even a strong enough expression to express my sentiment.

Perhaps a future episode will see Warren bringing the young dancers to a strip club ? I hope you get my point. Had I been one of the fathers at Warren's fantasy, it would have been the last time... Be safe.

Must watch!

I just love this show! And I fell in love with Warren a long the way. Because he is such a great and sweet teacher for his students. And the kids really have fun and love what they do. It made me happy

What a way to teach children that trophies are everything

[alcelik-82799 · 3/10 · 14 August 2018]

At first I really enjoyed this show. It was entertaining to watch children and their parents doing what they like and being supported by that.

However, when I saw what was really going on, how parents were pushing their children, never being satisfied by what their children are doing. The children think that they only have dancing and are nothing else. It is just beyond stupid. The pressure and the idea that you are only good at what you are doing by winning trophies, its just stupid. I dont have other words to describe this.

Also, the way the owner of that studio treats everyone in his family, is just abusive. Calling his wife fat, bashing everyone around him, being bossy and pitty and pushing children to become winning robots. My goodness what does winning even mean to them??? what a sad life this man has. I also just think that he might be a closeted gay man, who cant come out because he already has a family.

Another thing that rubbed me the wrong way is, that the producers of this show made the third non dancer daughter look like a freak. She is quite the interesting girl, but watching the show, you d think she is delusional. Get a grip people!
