July 13th, 2011- a date that will be remembered in our cultural history. This was the day Dance Moms premiered. The reality television show about girls in the competitive dance world. But the show truly follows their mothers, and their fights with each other and the dance teacher Abby Lee Miller.
The fights get intense, to say the least. However, those were never the fun part for me. I always found myself waiting for the fighting to end so I could watch the dances. Each of the girls had such distinct personalities and they all had very unique opportunities to come from the show. So here's what they're up to now!
Chloe Lukasiak
Chloe is currently studying at Pepperdine University in Malibu, California. While keeping up with her studies, she maintains a successful YouTube channel with over two million followers. Since leaving the show, she has tried her hand at acting and has appeared in three movies, joining the Center Stage franchise. She has also released a book called Girl on Pointe: Chloe's Guide to Taking On The World.
Maddie Ziegler
Outside of Dance Moms, Maddie is most known for her work with artist Sia. You may have also noticed her partnership with the Kate Hudson athleisure company, Fabletics. Recently, she partnered with Morphe and released a makeup line. She has transitioned onto the silver screen with a number of credits under her name, including Book of Henry, To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You, and voice work for Leap! In December 2020, you can see her dance, act, and sing in Spielberg's remake of West Side Story!
Kenzie Ziegler

Nia is also no stranger to the stage! In 2016, she made her off-Broadway debut in the musical Trip of Love and in 2018 was cast in the show, Aladdin and His Winter Wish.
