Maddie,
I have watched every episode of dance moms, and a couple of days ago i watched an episode of Dace Moms Miami. And as i was watching them come out onto the stage at Starbound I realized that all of them lack the amount of grace that you and the whole Abby Lee Miller dance company has.

It is sadly obvious that Abby has her favorite. If she would just own that instead of denying it… she might have fewer people slamming her for it. Maddie’s mom also needs to stop denying it. Who the heck cares if your oldest daughter is Abby’s favorite – but you look very foolish denying it. Although Maddie is very talented, she is not the only talented child on that show. One example is Chloe and it was very disheartning to see Abby ignore her win and summer scholarship in the last show. That show confirmed the favoritism and I cannot see how anyone can deny it now.
Maddie – you are a wonderful young lady. Your mother was spot on when she said there is no way you could be a failure at the age of 9. Part of growing up includes failures and mistakes. It’s what we learn from them that makes us better. It is very obvious that you care about the other girls in your group. I hope Abby (who is the grown up) can also begin to share in that care and concern for the other girls. I just know you see that when Abby treats you differently, she makes the others feel bad. Please keep on being the beautiful and determined dancing princess you are. In spite of everything you continue to shine.

I got a reality check of the other dance moms……….the reason Maddie gets more attention from Abby than their girls do is simply because she’s the best. Nothing more. Nothing less. It happens in all circles and aspects of life – Deal With It and get off Melissa’s back already. If you want your girls to get more of Abby’s attention, tell them to get better. If they can’t raise their game then you need to accept their place in the pecking order, because Maddie’s the one buttering Abby’s bread right now and your girls are primarily riding her coattails.
Abby’s got a thoroughbred in Maddie and they don’t come along every year. Of course she’s going to give her special attention. If I were in her shoes I’d do the same. It’s no different than being an athletic coach and hinging your fate on the backs of your best players. Do you think Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, Peyton Manning, Derrick Jeter and Sydney Crosby received special dispensation from their coaches coming up through the ranks? Damn straight they did. Why? Because they were the best at their craft. Dance talent is no different and when you have a fledgling superstar in your ranks, you’re going to treat them differently than your other pupils. You many not like it and it may not be fair, but that’s just the way thew world works. So stop misplacing your jealousies and envy at Abby and Melissa’s feet and accept the situation for what it is.

Hi Maddie,
I just wanted to say that I think you are such an incredible dancer. II’ve been watching the show from New Zealand and you shine so brightly.
Dance has been a big part of my life. I started ballet when I was 2 and was offered a contract to dance professional level ballet in Paris and New York by the age of 10. I thought I would become a professional ballerina but I ended up getting a mystery illness that gave me arthritic problems in every joint in my body and I had to stop dancing.
Maddie you are so incredibly lucky to be living your dream. You are such a beautiful dancer and you should be so proud of yourself.
You’re a star
