24: Dance Mom's Jill Vertes

Today's episode features special guest, Jill Vertes, from the mega-hit reality show, Dance Moms. She has been on the hit reality show for over five years with her daughter, Kendall Vertes. She will talk to host Susie Meister about child stars, raising a child in the entertainment industry, working on a reality show, and her years at the Abby Lee Miller Dance studio. We will discuss the challenges of facilitating your child's success without being a "stage mom," and how she works to shield her child from the negative effects of fame and fortune. Jill will address the questions many have about the difficult balance of supporting your child in the industry while letting them feel like they have a "normal" life.
