According to Reality Tea on Tuesday, Aussies are none too happy that Miller is brining 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."
According to The Australian (via Design & Trend News) on Friday, parents are also none too happy that Miller and her Abby Lee Dance Company are charging fans $250 for her workshop classes.
Australian dance industry ambassador Peter Oxford told the site that Miller's teaching approach breaches the country's local laws regarding to working with minors. What's more, he says he's received "many complaints" from concerned teachers and parents who don't want their aspiring dancers exposed to Miller and her harsh teaching methods.
He said, "We can't we stop a dance teacher who advocates and makes financial gain from screaming at kids?"
