Premise

Bring It! focuses on multi-style competition team based in Jackson, Mississippi. The features and follows Coach Dianna "Miss D" Williams and her Dollhouse Dance Factory, h which was founded in 2001. The troupe has over 15 Grand Champion titles and more than 100 trophies, and consists of children aged 10 to 17. The show also features the Baby Dancing Dolls, consisting of children under the age of 11.
The team competes in hip-hop majorette competitions, with their main focus being on Stand Battles, which are called by the captain depending on what stand the other team performs.
Rival dance teams featured on the show include the Divas of Olive Branch (the Dolls' main rival, due to the intense rivalry between Miss D and coach Neva), the Prancing Tigerettes (Memphis), the Infamous Dancerettes (a.k.a Dynamic Diamond Dollz, Memphis), the Purple Diamonds (a cross-town Jackson rival), the YCDT Superstars (Miami), and newer rival The Golden Prancerettes (Tueplo).
Similar to fellow Lifetime show Dance Moms, Bring It! features the moms of several dancers and their interactions (and occasional arguments) with Miss D. However, unlike Dance Moms (where the moms are in a room above the studio watching the practices), the moms in Bring It! are featured outside the studio. During early seasons, the parents could only see what happens in practice through the studio windows; in later seasons Miss D has made a room for the parents to watch the girls through a TV screen.
