What Parents Need to Know
About Dance Machine
Parents need to know that while there's some good-natured sparring between the contestants on this reality competition/game show -- in which amateur dancers show off their moves while competing for a large cash prize -- it's lighthearted, fun, and family-friendly overall. There's some mild sexual innuendo, including occasional pelvic thrusts, butt shaking, and very subtle references to homosexuality that will go over the head of young viewers.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the popularity of dance competition shows. Do you think these shows challenge or support stereotypes about men and women who dance? How? What stereotypes are out there to begin with? Families can also discuss what makes people willing to participate in shows like this. Would you want to go on national television if you had the chance to dance or do something else that you loved to do? What would that "something" be?

Another great family show from ABC
This is a good show for family viewing. There's no objectionable content, though very mild innuendo can be present. Be sure to check out the 4th of July episode because a grandma will be on there!!!
