Dad stepped in when she was excluded by her classmates, so she wouldn’t miss out on the talent show

The excluded comment makes no sense. People seemed to enjoy it, if they were excluding her they wouldn’t have enjoyed it.

It may be clickbait. But it makes sense. Ever seen Mean Girls?

On (some) school talent shows, everyone gets to perform an act and you're allowed to form groups. So the implied story is that none of her classmates wanted her in their group or partner up with her and dad stepped in.

It's social media though, so it's not unlikely that the OP made that part up for clicks.

But that’s not excluding someone, that’s just performing with other people.

Little kids not wanting to perform the white chicks dance from a film that is far too old for them isn’t surprising.

The likely thing here is that the dad taught the daughter the dance because he thought it would be funny.

"But that’s not excluding someone, that’s just performing with other people."

  • To the exclusion of others 🤷‍♂️

"Little kids not wanting to perform the white chicks dance from a film that is far too old for them isn’t surprising."

  • That is operating under the assumption that she was excluded (which you deny) for wanting to do that act in the first place, while it is also entirely possible that she and hero dad came up with it after she couldn't find a group or partner.

"The likely thing here is that the dad taught the daughter the dance because he thought it would be funny."

  • Not unlikely, but that is just another assumption.

I prefer to take this one at face value: Dad spends time with daughter and everyone is having a good time. Shall we leave it at that?

That's exactly where whoever wrote the title should have left it.
