When Maddie just went straight back and started to dance again I felt that.

[heidiquinn]

Maddie: *Sick*

Music: pArTy PaRtY pArTy PaRtY

[jiminieboya]

"I can't stand a child that's sick"
Melissa honey, WHAT?

[ariellaj]

Mellisa: Don’t tell me she’s dancing
Also Mellisa: You never miss dance!

[mariarasmussen]

Has yelling “stop crying” at a child EVER HELPED?

[chloespicer]

Maddie: sick

Camera man: sticks huge camera in child’s face

[shailashaila]

HEALTH COME BEFORE DANCE!! she should go home and rest! i feel like every other mom would take their kids home except Melissa!

[Kay-fmgm]

Poor Maddie, stomach problems can be really serious. She walked right back in there and started dancing again, nobody talks about how strong she is for that, she is 8!

[ashley-ekkz]

If she says "I wanna go home" and she never goes home from dance, it means SHE REALLY HAS A BAD PROBLEM.

[foofy]

she is a child. let her be a child. i would not force my child back out there.

[Nora-cziv]

“you get too emotional” she’s literally 8

[gingerbreadgirl]

"I want to go home, my stomach hurts."
"What do you mean, you never leave dance!"
Take notes. This is not how you parent.

[juligirl]

It's amazing she walked right back into the room and was able to start dancing like she knew the part they were at. I knew she was special from that scene

[kawaiichannightcore]

Honestly I feel really bad for Maddie. Her mom acts like her entire life depends on dance and being number one at everything. So what if she leaves class early? It’s not like the earth will stop spinning if she does! She’s clearly not feeling well and needs to see a doctor!

[Snj]

1:48 it’s amazing how Maddie can just walk into the room and just start doing the dance from where they are!

[Iris-tlld]

"you never miss dance" so is dance more important than your child's health? unbelievable

[shaemaree]

"Stop acting like this"

MELISSA SHE'S SICK

[amazinggraciegurl]

That's pretty incredible that Maddie could just walk in and start the dance in the middle of it like she did at 8 years old. Honestly, she doesn't get enough credit for how tough and resilient she was at such a young age.

[yellowguy]

Melissa: I can't stand a child that's sick
Me: *bish then u don't have kids*
