Does Vivi-Anne Stein Have Special Needs?
No, Vivi-Anne Stein does not have special needs. Rumors about Vivi-Anne being a special needs kid started going around the internet after some netizens noticed what was presumed to be a lackluster attitude towards dance in her. A lot of people at the time pointed out that Vivi-Anne’s face was often completely emotionless, even when she was dancing. Given that dancers are very emotional people, the young star was considered weird and her lack of emotions was written off as her having special needs.
These rumors even intensified after little Vivi-Anne revealed that she didn’t like dancing and was only in the competition because her mom promised her Tacos. Another time, Vivi-Anne was also caught lying that she had cut her pinky and didn’t think she would be able to dance. While some people took these weird behaviors as proof that Vivi-Anne had some underlying mental illness like Down’s Syndrome, others thought it was all from living with a mother like Cathy who was often described as highly materialistic and very competitive.

Years down the line, most of these fans have been wondering about the whereabouts of their favorite dancer.
After Vivi-Anne got off Dance Moms, Cathy revealed that she had gotten a call from one of the show organizers who wanted to work with Vivi-Anne when she got older.
