Many fans will remember the many times the young dancer cried on the show. Maddie and her mother, Melissa, have said time and time again that Maddie is a perfectionist. That added along with the pressure Abby put on her, caused her a lot of anxiety being on the show.

Maddie was only eight years old at that time. I can only imagine how her anxiety grew throughout the seasons and as she got older.

All of this she admitted in interviews, I can't imagine what all she's going to tell in her book. She says it is going to answer all of her fans burning
