[@sarahlovescoquette]

[@tillie1749]

Mackenzie did get hurt, according to the show. Apparently, it was sprained, and she was doing cartwheels because she was bored of sitting in the wheelchair with nothing to do. But her sprained foot never touched the ground, because it was sprained, so she did it with one foot.

[@_aj_6911]

[@chasityslocum5929]

Neve Ross At the time ALL the girls were bad at hip hop.

[@Kait16xo]

Chasity Slocum true. Especially since that was JAZZ not hip hop. They can label it that but it totally wasn’t hip-hop

[@chasityslocum5929]

Tbhkaitlyn_ It was really sassy jazz with some acro elements. Kenzie would’ve been amazing in this dance.

[@Kait16xo]

Chasity Slocum I agree actually. It was a good dance for Kenzie. It’s annoying how they label that as “hip hop”

[@chasityslocum5929]

Tbhkaitlyn_ IKR?! I was saying that to original comment because it said “bear in mind Kenzie is amazing at hip hop”. In this situation it’s kind of irrelevant because at the time none of the girls really did hip hop. Also it doesn’t matter because this is acro jazz with hip hop elements. That’s like saying all of the ballet routines on the show are ballet. The “ballet” routines is just contemporary or lyrical with ballet elements. Same here but instead of ballet it’s hip hop and instead of lyrical or contemporary it’s acro jazz.

[@gryffindor_dancer2395]

3:59 That side areal part was so in sync!!!

[@raea3588]

Sprains hurt pretty bad. Usually worse than breaks but kids are resilient. It's important to remind them to rest. Especially dancers. I remember breaking my foot and spraining it but it didn't hurt that bad after the initial fall so my mom didn't take me to the doctor until I started hurting more two days later. That's how easy it is to walk on a broken and sprained foot. So, Mackenzie is doing easy cartwheels on her good foot. That doesn't mean she was lying! A doctor looked at it. And maybe she was relieved not to be in a demanding group dance that week. Again, she was still injured and Abby and her mom should have made sure she was resting. What's with all the questioning of an 8 year old kid?!

[@jessicadrennan1123]

Rachel A. I agree! Mackenzie wouldn’t have hurt herself or faked an injury to get out of a dance and she didn’t lie!! Everyone keeps saying that her foot didn’t touch the floor and I don’t get how Abby didn’t notice.

[@YouGiveMeWings]

I was on a fracture for 2/3 weeks walking to and from work, around work, limping a lot (I was told it was just a 'sprain') before I threw up from pain killer poisioning and took myself to the hospital demanding to know why I was still in this much pain after that long. They were shocked that I was attempting to walk on it and were like "uh, yeah, this is fractured. Have a walking cast" and was supposed to be in it for only 2 weeks, but ended up being another 4.

When I sprained my ankle, I did the same thing. For me, I could land on it very softly. She may be able to do cartwheels (especially without landing on her foot) but dancing is just on a completely different level

This comment may already be out there but here it is: Mackenzie actually found out that she had an extra bone in her foot which really caused a lot of pain and the boots she is wearing here are not good for the extra bone as it rubs on it. So I feel sorry for her and as to her doing cartwheels first of all she wasn’t putting pressure on it but also the pain can come in waves

[@arleanporche1bradley12]

Sometimes parents put their children on display to satisfy themselves. Most of the time the children are just trying to please their parents. Stop! Ask yourself is this good for my child, is this something she wants to do? Your answer will not be surprising. Stop trying to make yourselves look good. Think about your children, and what this is doing to them. Self destruction is what I see. This is not parenting.
