Abby needs to accept that sometimes she loses because of the CHOREOGRAPHY and not the way the dancers execute it.

[@LilyStoll]

Yeah I hate how she always blames the kids

[@kayondrasqueendom8469]

That’s the thing she will never put blame on her own choreography and/ or her own execution on it. Real ones know that abbey is the type to not show up at her own studio because of personally stuff and get mad when the kids and moms do the same thing intentionally or not however my main thing is she the type to criticize someone else’s choreography and execution whether the dance won or not then will blame the girls except Maddie🙄😒FOR THEIR TECHNIQUE OF HOW THE DANCE WAS EXECUTED itself or how the girls actually executed it on stage💯👌🏿😌💕

[@user-vq1pq7rc5l]

Yea that’s true. But it mostly is about how the dancers look on stage.

[@chickennuggetedits3429]

It was really unfair of Abby to take Kenzie's lead part away from her. Although Kenzie struggled to get facial's right, I think with a bit more effort and encouragement and opportunity, Kenzie would've been a great lead.

@Adriana Elizabeth Gabarrete Tejada soooo true

[@babyedits2004]

Not really. Maddie is a better actor.

[@reishadsouza3864]

I actually agree with Stacey in the situation with Hannah. I know it must be hard for Hannah to speak up but if she really wants to be a dancer, her mom needs to stop holding her hand and speaking for her. If that happens I think Hannah would grow up to be an even more beautiful dancer.

[@danny9725]

Honestly Hannah (in real life) is not quite AT ALL. All the dancers and Abby agree that Hannah can actually speak for herself and even be a bit loud sometimes lol. But on reality TV, everyone needs a dramatic story arc, even if it is far from the truth. If Hannah did stay quiet on the show, it was to ensure the producers could not alter her words. I mean, did you see what happened to Gianina?

[@dazzlingforests1373]

So maybe her kid should stop having anxiety attacks. It makes no sense

[@corimoon3360]

Her mom wasn’t holding her hand tho. Hannah just wasn’t speaking because she didn’t want her words twisted.

the season 8 clip at the end is so unsettling because hannah very obviously has anxiety and doesn't like talking and its like nobody on the whole show understands that of course she isn't gonna want to talk, she isn't cormfortable.
