Dance War: Bruno vs. Carrie Ann (ABC)
common sense media says
Tween-friendly spin-off fun, if not very original.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that, aside from a few skimpy outfits -- and a brief flash of lingerie seen in the show's first episode -- they can watch this series confidently with their kids. Rather than focusing heavily on backstage squabbles or rehearsal-room drama, the show emphasizes the high level of talent, determination, and athleticism the contestants need to stay in the competition. The one caveat: This spin-off is a blatant attempt to capitalize on the popularity of Dancing With the Stars. Another national tour, anyone?
Violence:
Not applicable.
Sex:
Female contestants' occasionally skimpy outfits are as cheeky as it gets. But during auditions, one woman does use her dance time as an opportunity to strip, revealing a lacy lingerie top and boy-short panties (don't worry: It's an isolated incident).
Language:
Not applicable.
Consumerism:
With a title that refers by name to two Dancing With the Stars judges and a host who previously won that competition, this spin-off is essentially a commercial for its parent program.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Not applicable.

fun family hour
My husband and I watch many of the music and dance shows with our two kids (almost 6 girl and 3 1/2 boy) and we really enjoy it as a family interactive activity. Watching the young people really work hard and compete sends a mainly positive message and a little bit of culture never hurts. My only concern is the occasionally too sexy moves and outfits of the competitors. The kids get up in front of the tv and dance and sing and mommy and daddy even are expected to dance too. :)

If you like dancing with the stars, try it out you might like it
I liked dancing with the stars but this is not anything to talk about. I guess if you like things that have dancing and singing in it you might like this. Dancing with the stars fans might like to see Bruno and Carrie Ann battle it out but, people who think dancing with the stars was ok might think differentily about this show. In my opinion this is ok but great for dancing with the stars fans.
