Maddie Ziegler Learns a Dance Routine with The Rockettes

Me after an hour: Wait, so my arm goes up now?
Maddie after an hour:

I love this because it shows that Maddie's not perfect and that she's still a learning and growing child!

[willcookmakeup]

Dancer's are so incredible. An HOUR? F that. I Could never learn something like that in that amount of time let alone even a full day

[Camden]

For what was such a limited time of training (one hour?) she nailed it. Oh to have such exceptional talent, it must be like having a superpower :-)

[MusicRocks]

She ended up doing better than I thought.. She moved so swiftly and fitted in so well with the older proffesionals.

[dont_harsh_my_mellow]

Huh, Abby was right. She is a natural born performer. I would love to see her do more dances. She is very beautiful.

[MyWayofEverything]

Honestly.... picking up choreography quickly is one of Maddie's specialties. Not saying that it's not impressive but 1 hour for the 2 minutes of choreography probably isn't that crazy challenging for her. Obviously the technique and the precision is but I'm gonna guess she picked up the dance well within the hour

[hallieh]

Maddie should be a rockette when she grows up!

[ericaequestrian]

Maddie is such a beautiful and talented dancer, well done!

[locooljbrett]

When they started hitting those kicks I was like "YASSSS GIRL"

[maboris]

Omg her gestures... She is not only dancing, acting, feeling, living on the stage... She is really gergeous

[gemc]

I'm happy Maddie left ALDC! More opportunities, more challenges, more training. Why to grow, Maddie!

[abnerdiaz]

Maddie did very well, she is really growing into a beautiful dancer... More ballet clases will sure help. Overall she did great, I'm glad she is more focus on dancing than the other 100 things she is doing. You can tell she does a passion for dance and proves it with her actions not with words.

I was watching this with a big smile on my face im so proud of her! 😍😍

[AmberBunni]

Wow, only 1 hour to learn it? She's truly talented.

[Mona-ujzx]

I really like this. No drama, no fake plots and acting. Just pure Maddie, as who she really is. It's honestly so much better then what we see on Dance moms. You see her as more of a person, rather than a competition, growing and leaving just like the rest of us.

[douglasduke]

Thirteen years old and Maddie more than holds her own with the Rockettes. Am floored by her phenomenal dancing and the poise she maintains while performing in the largest venues and media. Maddie will make the transition to adulthood well and have an amazing career as a popular public figure. She has the old-school, delicate beauty and charm of an Audrey Hepburn and the magnetic dancing skills and passion of a Cyd Charisse. What a combination!

[jeannetheisen]

Great Maddy! You learned that in an HOUR!? Abby was right, she DOES train you to be employable Dancers. The fact that you were able to pick that up that quick, AND look great doing it Wow. I am truly impressed. I mean, if you were in their same costume, other than the fact that you were shorter, I honestly wouldn't know at first glance who had JUST learned the routine. You go girl!

[kalisnyder]

I saw only one error. she blows me away. so young and she only got an hour. the rocketed have had conteless weeks and she picked up so quickly. Maddie dear 😍

[smitherin]

I'm so proud on how successful Maddie is right now. Back when she was on dance moms, i ALWAYS knew she would be famous one day and now she's in movies, music videos, and on talkshows. So so so proud of her.
