Nia looked beautiful even if it was hard to see her behind Maddie and MacZ. I don't understand how that was the lead but great job Nia.
Ofcourse she was the lead
Ok yes, Nia was considered "the lead" but Maddie was in the front and center and Nia was in the back. This is getting ridiculous.
+Kimberly Garcia you are wrong
I WAS LITERALLY ABOUT TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT IT TOO!! We get it, Maddie’s a good dancer. But Nia got the lead this time so let her be in front.
That is exactly what i was thinking
Nia was the lead she got to dance on the drum and she got the head piece but that was probably only because it would look wrong if one of the white girls were the lead just because Maddie is always in front doesn’t always mean she was the lead
nia can’t dance her tricks sucked
There is no way they would have let this air on the show in 2018. imagine the backlash. Abby would have been cancelled way before her prison sentence 😂
there was also Bollywood and vine, Arabian nights, the gypsy dance, bye Felicia, they call me laqueefa. so much cultural appropriation hahaha
carrotcake tf is wrong with u
Júlia Dobó tf is wrong with you?
Even at the time it aired it really wasn’t appropriate lol but a few years ago there was a lot less knowledge around the types of issues like cultural appropriation. It’s good to see that some progress is being made.
h S exactly it’s deeply offensive to native Americans like myself and all the other dances they did that also culture appropriate 🙄
I love how Nia got the so called lead but Maddie and Mackenzie were in the middle for most of the dance. Nia should have been more in huge middle she's the chief.
Finally someone understands me its just not right
Yup i agree she only seemed featured in the very beginning
Melissa is a kiss ass for sure. Nia has worked really hard and deserves the spotlight for a change.
It's not right that white people are even doing such a dance that is for Native Americans
+Gabby Howard don't deny somebody's rights because of their race. Also, it is not a Native American dance. It is a Native American themed song.
even when nia leads she's still in the back 😑
So true
It's because she is taller
Kristen Coad not really.
i know right
Zephie lovet I was just gonna say that lol
the headdress, absolutely not okay, and having on the GROUND was even worse.
i personally as a native american dont have a problem considering the "headdress (warbonnet) is accurate, and you shouldnt either if you arent native american. but yes putting the warbonnet on the floor is extremely disrespectful.
@@urmom_69 may i ask why it’s disrespectful?
@@stephaniesilva6753 all of it is disrespectful. a headdress is EARNED, it’s a show of skill and worthiness. setting it on the floor is like taking a trophy you worked so hard for and smashing it on the ground.
This dance is so messily filmed
So true
No
ILY lolliecandy
soo true its cultural appropriation
This isn't right at all, no matter what anyone says. We have our culture and we keep it, especially a headdress. Completely blows my mind how so many people think this is ok, but then again some people only remember us as something from Thanksgiving or that one lesson in 3rd grade.
Hunter Poitra You are getting offended for no reason
FINALLY someone who gets it! I myself am Native American and out culture should not be depleted like this especially by people not of the culture! Our ancestors had to go through so much pain and suffering for our culture to live on. Our culture should not be used for something and childish as a dance. Yes I do like Dance Mom's and all, but this is just not right.
ALDC Rainbow no reason? We were put as slaves and that headdress is to be earned. For someone to just wear it as a costume makes it seem like all the people that died did it for nothing. They work their whole lives to earn a headdress and for them to just put it on? Extremely disrespectful.
Im not american indian, but I am polynesian and I do understand where this is all coming from, cultures should be respected, agreeable that this is so wrong
ALDC Rainbow if you aren’t native american do not tell us we should not be offended. You have no idea how it feels to be portrayed by WHITE people. It isn’t okay.
This makes me feel a bit uncomfortable...I'm not Native American, so I can't really judge, but it still just leaves me with this uncomfortable feeling. Love the girls, they danced wonderfully, but I feel like this may have crossed the line between cultural appreciation and cultural appropriation.
I'm native American
i’m native american and when i saw nia put the “head dress” on the ground , i gave the video a dislike
Lara get over it.
Are you racist Lara
Just shut up
I always thought it was weird that Nia was the 'lead' but was in the back the whole time.
abby: makes nia the lead of the group dance
abby: puts maddie in front center for like 3/4 of the dance
me: -_-
Ok don't get me wrong I love Maddie but I'm kind of getting sick tired and bored of Maddie always getting to be front and center and stuff I mean c'mon give somebody else a chance
In group dances, the shorter kids tend to get in the front or center in order to get more pleasing formations. I don't think her being in the front for this particular dance has anything to do with being the favorite. Chloe is the tallest, Kendall and Nia are around the same height, and Maddie and Mackenzie are the shortest. Trust me, I was in dance competition once upon a time. It's not a big deal.
So Maddie and Mackenzie could br on the side not the middle smh +dynamic
DynamiA3 yeah but maddie is always the lead no matter what. Its sometimes get ridiculous
i think everyone is. shes like that one band member everyone likes at first but slowly gets annoyed how much "fame" shes getting than the others
In this dance Nia was suppose to be the leader that's why shes wearing a gold costume and everyone else is wearing a red one, plus if you watched the episode your would understand.
This dance is so wrong, taking someone’s culture and minimizing it to a 1 week routine for some dance competition. There was no care taken into this, no learning opportunity. They just took a headress and some red paint and called it tribal council. The Native American dance! No
Ikrrr whites wanna take everything
exactly! this isn’t even a correct portrayal over indigenous cultures.
YES! And Abby's level of nonsense is so high that she somehow thought that making the only child who was a POC the lead in the dance would make it okay, but Nia is African American, and as far as I know, none of those kids had native american heritage whatsoever.
I mean, I'm glad she didn't give it to one of the whites, but it just goes to show how Abby won't even take her head out of her a**.
Blackpink Comeback now!!!!!! Omg wtf r u talking about...this is honestly ridiculous...like what is wrong with u? This dance was fabulous,the girls killed it,and what’s the problem with trying new styles? They clearly are amazing at this style! And omg it’s A FREAKING DANCE people always do tribe inspired dances like this at competitions like do u seriously need to get offended about EVERYTHING!!? This almost makes me laugh 😤y’all need to calm the f down and respect the greatness of this routine and Abby’s creativity and these amazing girls!!!!
SHANDIIN SHEBALA y’all are so close minded it honestly makes me laugh...no actually it makes me soo mad! Why are sooo many people acting so butthurt over a tribe inspired dance and calling it dIsReSpEcTfUl!!?? Like TF IS WRONG WITH U HONESTLY!!?? This dance is freaking amazing and Abby is a genius! *PERIOD*
I love the dance but I am tired of Maddie being front and center of every dance not that she is not a good dancer but I just want to see her as a team member and not have the show be so much of the Maddie promoter show
+Monssy J no I saw the episode they were all where they were supposed to be. Abby just makes sure that Maddie is in that position for every dance but I felt that as Nia was the lead and her costume being a different color she should have been there
+Nancy Loyal Jajajajajajajaj
yea m2
+Nancy Loyal Exactly!!!
sometimss u don't get what u want😕
As a native this is highly offensive my culture IS NOT A COSTUME 😤
Right
Thank you i was waiting to see a comment from someone who is actually Native American and not someone being offended on behalf of them. 😡
Wearing a bikini practically and a native headdress.... that’s cultural appropriation not appreciation!!
I think when they say nia has the "leading role " is very different when maddie gets the leading role because maddie is front and center for a lot of the dances that nia has the "leading role" nia is just always wondering in the sides when maddie is front and center. I love maddie don't get me wrong but it's just weird how Abby does her spots when someone is the " lead"
This group dance is absolutely offensive to my culture! Wtf was abby thinking? Throwing a headdress? GIRLS touching the drum? Not to mention standing on the drum! This is not right next time abby needs to think about doing some research
I’m happy for Nia that was a “lead” in this but why does she always have to for the ethnic dances? Give her a lyrical or hip hop lead for once.
I just want to say that Nia has improved sooo much since last season. Abby always underestimates her and she shouldn't. Nia is a great dancer.
Nia was amazing but should've been in the freont at 1:35
*front*
Yeah it looks so weird cause Nia is the only one wearing yellow so she should’ve been in the front
I'm confused why at 1:30 Nia song on the front... maddie wasn't the lead of this dance. when ever Nia gets a lead, she is at the front or has different coreography for only like 1/4 of the dance and have maddie do those things. why?!?
No that is Maddie.
ida g it’s even more of a stupid idea because if u look at the 2 girls you can see at that moment Nia’s expressions are actually brilliant and Maddie’s is just a little smirk she does in every dance that kind of have that posh and confident feel but it doesn’t match the dance. I’m sure big Dance Mom fans will know the face I’m on about. Her facials at this time consisted of a face that looks like she’s going to roar, an over the top wide mouthed smile, the confident smirk or the sad face that she herself called the constipated face lol. I think Maddie has come a long way since dance moms. She has a brilliant work ethic and her dancing is incredible and always improving... but throughout the show I never could understand the obsession with her “brilliant” expressions. I’ve seen Mackenzie, Nia and Chloe all act brilliantly and pull realistic and suitable faces where I’d see Maddie do the same every dance regardless of the theme.
Out of all the things the moms complain about, the fact that not one mom found this inappropriate is beyond me...
Later half or the moms said they didn’t even think racism was real so I am not surprised
@@kennyb1588 none of them said that--
@@bkaur5139 they basically did when they did the group dance good help is hard to find
@@kennyb1588 in s7??
@@bkaur5139 I think.....they didn't say word for word but their dismissal of the conversation heavily implies that they don't take racism seriously enough to understand why this dance was awful and offensive
god why can’t abby give nia a lead in a non ethnic dance? literally the only time she had the lead and it wasn’t ethnic was the “traitor” dance and that was basically telling nia and holly that they were traitors for not making abby nia’s manager. not to mention all the stereotypical solos and the laquifa number which was just straight up racist🙄 ok thx for listening to my rant i’m done now😋🥰🤩❤️✨
as a native amercian, this dance is just kinda disrespectful the way it’s put together, but i understand they may not know a lot and how it could be bad, but dang💀
I'm First Nation I find this kind of offensive :(
Nia was the lead in this group dance, but Maddie is always on the front.
Nia shined even in the back. Maddie couldn't do that.
1:12 woah kenzie, that looked so cool!
Great job Nia! Hope to see more of you in a lead role.
Nia rocked it
it’s the using a culture as a costume for me
This makes me uncomfortable .. as a native I feel awkward lol.
Ikr
I’m not Native, but this disgusted me. It shows the ignorance and I can say that living in Canada I have witnessed acts of mass racism towards Native Canadians. We literally stole indigenous children from their homes, put them in residential schools and then basically tortured them starting in the 1860s and “ending” in 1997. But the after effects are still felt. We even put them on reserves and then denied them access to food, purposefully trying to kill them. Now indigenous people suffer from inter generational trauma which causes alcoholism and drug abuse as well as property. ALSO many reserves are WITHOUT clean water and a water bottle costs $10 and up. And the food.... so freaking expensive.
Plus the headless? Given to elders who earn that right.... this is gross
Faith USA stole some to before act to protect them happened
Nia was obviously supposed to be the leader of this group number but somehow Maddie always makes it to the center. mmm...I wonder
It's because she's the best...
Kona W. maddie is good at dancing so Abby wants the judges obviously see maddie more
They all suit French plaits so much, its a shame they don’t really do French plaits in there hair. It makes a change from buns and ponytails :)
How is no one talking about how this is cultural appropriation
Go Maddie!! Go Nia!!! Great job!
You comment go maddie on every video on CZcams.
lilly34cute yeah
Arriane Kernes maybe she likes her (so do I).Ever thought of that
Girl do you really like maddie that much
Bruh this dance is hella offensive lol
Sunjana Kulkarni how
Only Equines! It’s extremely disrespectful to the First Nation’s Culture
Sunjana Kulkarni STFU
Júlia Dobó no
@@juliadobo2244 no they have a valid point
Look, it’s not the girl’s fault it’s Abby’s
thia dance is diagutsing broo HOW DID THEY LET THIS AIR 😭 whos idea was it?
Maddie's hair looks so good braided
Wow that was really racist, like no, wearing a head dress as a costume is basically like mocking indigenous people, a head dress should only be touched my indigenous peoples, American and Canadian.
This isn’t even actually accurate and with feathers you need to be careful feathers are not aloud to hit the ground some powwows will gather around and stop everything for eagle feathers touching the ground
CULTURE APPROPRIATION!!!!
Seasons 4&5 had the best group dances!
Elaine Dempster I agree
This dance shouldn’t have aired. This is so offensive to Indigenous people
@@joyasaxena9976 exactly. it was nice seeing nia have the lead role but it made me uncomfortable. especially with the noise they made at the end when they won
Dance moms should be ashamed of themselves, we are people NOT COSTUMES. And the headdress she has on is sacred and is not to be worn as a costume
Nia was flawless!
Maddie is my favorite dancer on the show, but even I can't deny that she always finds her way back to the middle lol
Yasss! 👏🏼 go Native American queen’s 😍😍😍😍😍😍
I definitely don’t blame the girls as they had no say but definitely blame whoever put forward for them to do this dance
this is so disrespectful
I’m Native American and I find this very offensive, our culture is not a costume. How would they let this air
When they were standing on the drum thingy I don't see why nia wasn't in the middle and maddie if nia has the "lead". Abby is like I'll put her in a different colored costume and different make up and a tribal headdress to make her think she's the lead.
Love this dance!! So amazing!!!!
The tribe has spoken *extinguishes torch*
Ryan Murphy yes
I had thought that was what this dance was about. I was wrong.
Chloe did that back jump so great!
loved maddies expression it really stood out
I think it's very telling that the issue most people in the comments see with this video is the fact that Nia was "the lead" but was not featured as much as Maddie. The issue that sticks out to me is the use of a headdress and face paint, which are stereotypical adornments associated with Native Americans. I'm not Native American, and neither is anyone who was involved in choreographing or performing this dance. The adults in this situation should know better than to potentially offend an entire culture for a competition group dance.
Nia was awesome!! I feel like she doesn't get all the credit she deserves!! I hope Abby gives her more opportunities
Nia is the strongest & my eyes were on her the entire time!
beautiful number, I love it, those steps and that rhythm in the intermission 1:31🌹 beautiful routine I love it, here I am remembering my childhood, 🥺💖💖 I love dance moms 🛐
I love how everyone is talking about how Nia should have been in the front for more of the dance when they should be talking about how racist and offensive this dance is. I wish people would realize that just because your favourite show is doing this doesn’t mean it’s ok or not racist. I think that this dance should be taken down from apps that are streaming dance moms
Nia dosnt need to be in the front she shines anyway :) She was beautiful in this dance
Please make these videos available in the UK. I love Dance Moms and really want to watch these clips
If this was aired nowadays Dance Moms would be canceled before you could snap your fingers
I love nia she is such a retry dancer
Tf? Why is this called 'Tribal Council' like do they even know what that is 😂 btw this is super offensive
aniston why is it offensive? I’m part Native American and I was fine with it.
How? Please explain
KeithKogane IsLife! Nia putting the headdress on the ground alone is a big issue and only REAL chiefs wear them. They are a cultural symbol to native Americans, I highly doubt you are one.
ani IF I SEE ONE MORE COMMENT LIKE THIS IMMA THROW HANDS!! Like shut the f up people it’s a *dance* no need to act so butthurt
Júlia Dobó obviously you don’t understand the significance of a headdress in Native American culture. I am not “butthurt” I am simply saying that it is not right to wear a headdress unless it is EARNED. Imagine if they did something that had to do with blackface or yellowface? They would be cancelled right away and people would hate them. But hey I guess Native American culture isn’t as significant and people can still wear costumes and name teams that mock us. Please educate yourself next time.
I love how the producers tried to have eyes on nia through most of it
They all looked so nice with the tribal make up and the outfits. This dance and Amber Alert are some my favorites
It’s not makeup or outfits it’s a culture
this is wrong on so many levels. culture appropriation at its finest.
When they were all on the drum why was Maddie in the front and nia was on the side?
Love this: song, dance, characters and costumes all fit. :) All the girls were strong and Nia and Mackenzie impressed me a lot :)
The costumes are extremely offensive to native american culture
@@hanarios1863 I doubt Abby did much research, she probably just brought whatever she found.
My culture is not a costume.
@@IdolEyes84Well Abby does lack empathy and loves crossing other people’s boundaries so par for the course 👀😟😬
What amazes Me is that Abby had said that acrobatics was not chloe's forte, but to me she did that backflip very well, just goes to show that if abby would of work with her she would of had her front aerial too. She would get more complicated pieces to perform. Just imagine the level of difficulty that could be added to her dancing.
Even though it ca they still ate😂
This is very disrespectful to Native Americans, I feel sorry for the girls but angry at Abby.
Nia, Mackenzie and maddie were amazing in this :) Mackenzie has really improved
I like the group dances
I could not take my eyes off of Kenz🤩
That jump at 1:26 is so beautiful to me
I don't like they used a tribal headdress but the dance was nice
^its offensive to almost all native Americans to dress in such a way and portray our culture in such a generalized way...also the feather headdress is a religious item used for special ceremonies...it's innapropriate for non-natives to use/wear it.
It's a costume! Why are we making a big deal!
isabelle emmons you are making a bigger deal out of it then she is lol 😂😂😅😅😅
isabelle emmons because using a culture/an ethnicity of people as a "costume" is messed up, racist, and cultural appropriation. If you don't know what that means, then I suggest you look it up.
Lily Kim And excluding people because they are non-native american out of something is not.
COOL dance routine, it looked like a fun dance to perform , 👍 🙂
👍
Nia is so underrated, she is clearly such a hard worker and so gifted acrobatically. It’s such a shame that Abby mistreated her.
These girls are all so talented. Anywho, what a disrespectful performance. The Native Community should not be reduced are parodied like this.
How is it bad like OMG there 12!??!?!?!
@@mendesmelody9774 no one was talking about their age or blaming them
Honestly kenzie looks really good on the costume
Mackenzie has really shown Abby that she's just as good as the other girls
In my dance studio the ones who are musicals are in the front, like that everyone is in the good timing. And Maddie is the most musical
The cultural appropriation...
This is not the only one
0:40 why is no one talking about Maddie falling out of her turn lol
They did a great job go maddie
Oop. This couldn't be done today.
i had so much respect for this show and now it is all lost
Well this isn’t offensive at all....
To be totally honest while this dance may not be a total accurate representation of this culture, it was at the very least a strong, powerful, and beautiful performance which is a nice gesture.
YES NIA!!!!🙌🏼🙌🏼♥️♥️
my dance teacher met them this competitive and took photos w them lmaoo
I love seeing maddie dance everyday
This dance get Omn … When they all was on top of the drum why wasn’t Nia in the middle.💀💀💀 , & why wasn’t Nia in the middle in the whole entire dance , Abby need to get it together for real.
I love this
This makes me really mad
What is the name of this song and who sings it....if anyone could let me know that would b awesome. Love this dance!!
I was surprised that Maddie was not the Group leader in this dance!
