Despite being boycotted in Australia by both dance teachers and parents, the controversial Dance Moms star is still traveling Down Under to tour with her Abby Lee Dance Company group.
According to Reality Tea this past week, Aussies are none too happy that Miller is bringing her controversial teaching techniques, as some are calling her a "cult-like" figure who preaches "disgraceful sportsmanship."
Aussie dance teacher Jenny Jones says that Miller is a bad influence on Australia's youth, explaining that "Abby's style is diametrically opposed to the Australian-style which revolves around a lot more tact and encouragement. Luckily there is no dance teacher as brutal as Abby Lee in Australia."
