"Dance Moms" first aired nearly 10 years ago. Jason Merritt/KCA2015/Getty Images
  • The reality show "Dance Moms" first premiered on Lifetime 10 years ago in 2011.
  • JoJo Siwa has gone on to achieve a massive social-media following. 
  • Maddie Ziegler made it big when she danced in Sia's music video.

Maddie Ziegler was 8 years old when "Dance Moms" started filming.

In the first episode, her mom, Melissa Gisoni, proudly declared that Maddie was Abby Lee Miller's, the controversial and strict teacher of the elite Abby Lee Dance Company, favorite student.

The dancer kept that title for most of her ALDC career.

In 2014, Maddie hit it big when musician Sia tapped her to appear in the "Chandelier" music video. The two have continued to work closely together, and Ziegler starred in Sia's 2021 movie "Music," which has been criticized for casting an able-bodied actor to play a disabled character.

Maddie also played Velma in the 2021 "West Side Story" remake.

In addition to dancing and acting, she judged Fox's "So You Think You Can Dance?" in 2016, released a memoir titled "The Maddie Diaries" in 2017, and launched a makeup collection with Morphe in 2020.

Maddie's younger sister, Mackenzie, was one of the youngest ALDC dancers.

Mackenzie was around 6 years old at the start of the show, so she competed in a lower age bracket than the rest of the team.

She was known for her comedic quotes, like when she said she didn't need to be a Broadway dancer, she just wanted to stay home and eat chips.

She's now focusing on an acting and singing career.

After leaving "Dance Moms," Mackenzie has released music under the stage name Kenzie.

She dropped her first album "Phases" in 2018 and even collaborated with Sia for her 2020 song "Exhale. "

With a growing presence on YouTube and TikTok, Kenzie's also branched into acting by starring on the Brat web series "Total Eclipse" and voicing the main character in the US version of the film "Ice Princess Lily" (2019).

Recently, Mackenzie competed as Tulip on Fox's "The Masked Dancer" and came in third place. She also played Ivy in "Let Us In" (2021).

In September 2021, she marked a new era of her music career with her single "Happy for Me," and she also released her collaboration with NOTD, "Worst Thing," in May 2022.

Chloe Lukasiak often played second fiddle to Maddie.

Chloe was 9 years old when she first appeared on "Dance Moms," and she was one of Maddie's biggest challengers.

Every week was a battle to see which one of them would win the solo at the competition.

Now, she's a published writer.

Chloe stepped away from the often-toxic competitive-dance world when she left the series at the end of season four. Now, she's 20 years old.

She has a separate Instagram where she posts her poetry, and she previously released a book in 2018 called "Girl on Pointe: Chloe's Guide to Taking on the World. "

She also uploads vlogs on YouTube for over 2 million subscribers. In her videos, she talks about attending Pepperdine University and her college experience.

Additionally, Chloe has appeared in various movies like "Center Stage: On Pointe" (2016) and "Loophole" (2019).

 

 

Nia Sioux was 10 when her "Dance Moms" journey began.

Although Abby Lee seemingly didn't consider her one of the top dancers, Nia held her own and even learned how to perfect a difficult signature move — the death drop, in which the dancer falls to the ground in a split-legged pose.

Nia is currently enrolled at UCLA.

The 20-year-old is attending UCLA while also staying busy with a budding singing and acting career.

She's worked on shows like CBS' "The Bold and the Beautiful" and Brat's web series "Sunnyside Up." 

Nia dropped her latest single "Low Key Love" in 2020, and she vlogs on YouTube for over a million subscribers.

In 2021, she started the podcast "Adulting with Teala and Nia" alongside Teala Dunn and played Hanna Brooks in the TV movie "Imperfect High."

She also appeared in the film "I Am Mortal" in 2021. 

Brooke Hyland was the oldest member of the team when the show started.

At 13 years old, Brooke had already been dancing for years and seemed, at times, to be getting tired of it.

Throughout the series, she would say that she was missing out on regular high-school activities because she was so focused on dance.

Brooke eventually got the normal school experience she wanted.

After leaving the show at age 16, Brooke finished up high school and eventually went on to graduate from Ohio University with a marketing degree in 2019.

She tried her hand at a singing career shortly after she left "Dance Moms," but now she runs a popular food-themed Instagram account and occasionally posts on her YouTube channel, which has over 200,000 subscribers.  

She still seems to be close friends with Nia and was pictured hanging out with her in late 2020.

Brooke's younger sister, Paige, was 10 years old when the show started.

Paige tried hard to keep up with Chloe and Maddie but often found herself relegated to group dances instead of solos.

Kendall Vertes joined the show on season two.

Dancing since she was just 18 months old, the then-9-year-old stayed on the show through season seven.

 

Kendall is now an actress and singer.

Under the stage name Kendall K, she released several albums and singles, with her latest song "Girl Talk" debuting in 2018.

The 19-year-old also branched into acting, recently appearing in the movies "Rapunzel: A Princess Frozen in Time" (2019), "Santa in Training" (2019), and a live-action version of "Anastasia" (2020), about the Romanov royal family.

In 2021, she started hosting "The Kendall K. and Friends Show" on CBS-TV.

She also regularly posts on her Instagram page, which has over 9 million followers.

 

Asia Monet Ray joined the show during season three.

When she was 8 years old, Asia was brought onto the ALDC team and challenged other performers like Mackenzie.

After "Dance Moms," she had her own Lifetime reality show called "Raising Asia" that ran for a single season in 2014.

Asia also jumped into acting, appearing on multiple episodes of ABC's "Grey's Anatomy" and FX's "American Crime Story."

These days, the 16-year-old is prioritizing a music career, as she released her single "Real Life" in 2019 and frequently posts song covers on her YouTube page to nearly 500,000 subscribers.  

Kalani Hilliker joined the elite dance team during season four.

Kalani gained attention on Lifetime's "Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition," a "Dance Moms" spin-off in which young performers compete for $100,000 and a scholarship to the Joffrey Ballet School.

She officially joined the reality-show cast when she was 13 years old.

The 21-year-old is still dancing.

Her Instagram page, which has over 6 million followers, is filled with videos showing off her moves. She captioned one clip, "Dance is always my 1st love."

In addition to dancing, Kalani now vlogs on her YouTube channel for over 800,000 subscribers.

She also dove into the world of fashion with a line of formal dresses for Prom Girl, and several "Dance Moms" alumni, like Nia and Kendall, attended her launch event.

Kalani's also acted in projects like the movie "Swiped" (2018) and on the Brat TV show "Dirt."

She still seems to be friends with Kendall, and shared a selfie with her on Instagram in January 2021.

JoJo Siwa joined the "Dance Moms" cast in 2015.

JoJo was a late addition to the series, officially joining during season five.

Before her entrance to the official team, JoJo was on "Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition" when she was only 9 years old.

She's one of the most famous stars to come from the show.

JoJo has over 12 million subscribers on her YouTube channel and she's also gained over 41 million followers on TikTok. 

The 19-year-old does a little bit of everything, from acting to singing to vlogging.

JoJo also has an accessories line with Claire's, portrayed T-Rex on Fox's "The Masked Singer," and was named one of Time's 100 most influential people of 2020.  

Recently, she starred in Nickelodeon's dance flick "The J Team" (2021).

She also competed and got second place on season 30 0f ABC's "Dancing With the Stars," though she earned the first perfect score of the season for her and dance partner Jenna Johnson's foxtrot.

Tbh, these kids are pretty d*mn impressive.

By Lindsay Geller

Courtesy Of Lifetime

After two long years, the wait is finally over for Dance Moms fans. Following her stint in prison (oops) and non-Hodgkins lymphoma diagnosis (she's now cancer free), Abby Lee Miller is back in the dance studio. And this season, she's bringing a whole new Dance Moms cast with her.

If you've been keeping up with all the Dance Moms ~drama~, this should come as no surprise, considering all the sh*t that went down in season seven. Quick recap: A portion of the Abby Lee Dance Company's (ALDC) elite team split off to form their own group called The Irreplaceables—a play on the classic Abby-ism: "Everyone's replaceable."

Turns out, Abby wasn't kidding (but tbh, is she ever?). Christi Lukasiak (Chloe's mom) reportedly told her social media followers way back in October 2017 that "they’re replacing all of us," (referring to Dance Moms' original stars), per the International Business Times.

So, if your old favorites won't be on the show, who the heck will? Here's everything you need to know about the Dance Moms: Resurrection season eight cast:

Lilliana "Lilly" Ketchman (Age 10)

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Lilliana Ketchman (@lillykofficial) on

Lilly is the only returning member of ALDC, but if you think that automatically gives her an edge over her new teammates, you don't know Abby Lee Miller. In a season eight sneak peek, Abby immediately asks Lilly to give back her ALDC jacket to even out the playing field. Oh, and when Lilly's mom, Stacey, brings up problems with her daughter's routine to Abby, the coach throws Lilly out of the studio—and that's just in the first episode.

Despite the rough start to season eight, Lilly is one of Abby's favorite, dancers, thanks to her history with ALDC. She joined the ALDC mini team in season six of Dance Moms, and, when that disbanded, joined the elite team in season seven. Will all that hard work finally pay off this year? You'll just have to wait and see.

Kamyrn Smith (Age 8)

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by KAMRYN SMITH (8 Years Young) (@keepingupwithkammysophia) on

The youngest member of the ALDC's elite team, Kamryn specializes in jazz and contemporary, according to her introduction video on Lifetime. Dancing since she was just 2 years old, the Arizona native now aspires to be like Misty Copeland when she gets older.

She's already well on her way, having won many dance competitions, including being named the 2018 Petite National Dancer of the Year at Rainbow National Dance Competition. According to her mom, Alicia, Kamryn's personality and athleticism help her stand out. "She gets that from me," Alicia said in their intro video. Tbd on whether or not Abby agrees...

Sarah Georgiana (Age 11)

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Sarah Georgiana & Michelle G. (@sarah_georgiana) on

Pittsburgh native Sarah joined the ALDC after years of dancing at Studio 19 (which, ironically, is the same studio Dance Moms alum Chloe Lukasiak joined after leaving the ALDC). Even before Dance Moms, Sarah has already made a name for herself at competitions. According to her Instagram, she was named a Radix Nationals Top 10 Core Performer finalist, a Nuvo Breakout Artist, and a Pro Reveler by Revel Dance Convention.

Per Sarah's Lifetime bio, her mom, Michelle, "has yet to find the perfect studio for Sarah and is hoping the ALDC will be it." The bio also noted that Michelle and Abby Lee have "many friends in common," so hopefully that connection will help them avoid drama this season. (Of course, with Abby, all bets are off.)

Savannah Kristich (Age 12)

A post shared by Erin (Mom) / Savannah Kristich (@savannahkristich) on

World of Dance fans might recognize Savannah from season two of the dance competition show (meaning she's danced in front of the one and only J.Lo!). She and her dance team, The Rock Company, made it all the way to the divisional finals.

In 2018, the Nevada native also won Mini Core Performer at the Radix Dance Competition and snagged the Best Dancer title at The Dance Awards. But, will all that be enough to impress Abby Lee? Only time will tell.

Pressley Hosbach (Age 12)

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Pressley Hosbach (@pressleyhosbach) on

Before joining Dance Moms, Pressley's main claim to fame was being a backup dancer with Justin Bieber's Purpose tour in 2016—not too shabby for a 9-year-old, amirite? According to her Lifetime bio, dancing is in Pressley's blood. Her mom, Ashley, was a former professional dancer and currently owns a dance studio. "My crib was actually in my mom's dance studio," she explained in her introduction video.

Pressley's quick to admit she didn't love dancing at first (it actually made her cry), but now, you can't get her off the stage. Like Sarah, Pressley was named a Pro Reveler by Revel Dance Convention. While her moves obviously wowed the Biebs, who knows if they'll be good enough for Abby Lee.

GiaNina Paolantonio (Age 13)

A post shared by GiaNina Paolantonio (@gianinasjourney) on

After performing in Matilda on Broadway, dancing in The Greatest Showman, and touring with Mariah Carey, GiaNina is now taking over the small screen with Dance Moms.

With a dance teacher mom, she started dancing around age 2 and currently specializes in hip-hop, jazz funk, and lyrical. She and her mom, Joanne, have a penchant for wearing cat ears. In their introduction video, Joanne explained that if anyone tried to get in her daughter's way, she'd put on her ears and "caaaaat-tack you. " (Watch out, Abby.)

Hannah Colin (Age 14)

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Hannah Colin (@hannahgracecolin) on

Another daughter of a dance studio owner (must be something in the water...), Hannah was "born into dancing" and already has 12 years under her belt, I mean, ballet shoe.

Her favorite type of dance is lyrical and contemporary and she hopes to be a Rockette and dance on Broadway when she gets older, according to her introduction video. But first, she's living one of her dreams on Dance Moms. Since the show's humble beginnings, Hannah has wanted to be part of the ALDC. Now, she'll find out if working with Abby is a dream come true, or a total nightmare.

Brady Farrar (Age 14)

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Brady Farrar (@bradyfarrar) on

The only male member of the ALDC elite team, Brady is the first dancer in his family. In his intro video, he explained that he began dancing around age 6 after his dad was deployed to Iraq. He wanted to express himself through movement, went to his first class, and the rest is dance history.

Since then, he's won Best Dancer at The Dance Awards twice and placed in the top three at Youth America Grand Prix. Now, Brady's favorite styles are ballet and contemporary, and he wants to be in a ballet company when he gets older. Of course, before he can do all that, he–and his mom Tricia—will need to impress Abby Lee.

Principle

Every week at the Abby Lee Dance Company in Pittsburgh, a group of young dancers led by Abby Lee Miller train for a dance competition. The group usually consists of 5-8 dancers, depending on the episodes of the show. Every week they learn a new group choreography and also, for some, a trio, duo or solo. Solo during competitions is the privilege of little girls and the object of many conflicts between their mothers. Each episode begins with a "pyramid", a ranking created by choreographer Abby to represent the best and worst performances from the previous week. The episode usually ends with an awards ceremony for the winners of the contest. Maddie Ziegler is considered Abby's favorite dancer. She performs solo almost every week, is the winner of most competitions and is almost always at the top of the pyramid. This creates tension with each episode between her mother, Melissa, and the other little girls' mothers. The tension between these mothers and Abby Lee Miller is also at the center of the show.

Around the show

Abby Lee Dance Company

Abby Lee Miller started her own dance company at the age of 14. The Abby Lee Dance Company studio is located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where Abby Lee Miller was born and has always lived. The dance troupe is open to children ages 2 to 18 and offers many dance classes ranging from tap to hip hop, including jazz. In addition to Abby, these lessons are taught by six well-known teachers. Abby Lee Miller's goal is that after being fully trained in her studio, her students can start a career as a professional dancer.

Choreographies

Abby Lee Miller is an acclaimed choreographer, so choreographic sequences play a big role in the performance. Abby's creations are unique in that each one tells a story. Considered one of Abby's finest choreographies, "Last Lyrics" features dancers imitating a tragically ending car ride. Young girls also often play famous characters on stage. Maddie has visibly stepped into the shoes of Helen Keller, a blind, deaf and mute writer. Abby even told Near, who previously performed a tribute to Maya Angelou, the choreography in memory of her deceased dog, a Bichon named Broadway Baby.

Criticism and controversy

After another run-in with Abby, Kelly Hyland beats the choreographer and ends up on trial. As a result, she and her daughters will leave the show. The incident can be seen in an episode that aired on February 11, 2014. In turn, Kelly Hyland also sued Abby Lee on behalf of her daughter Paige, accusing her of bullying. Abby indeed, among other bullying, advised Kelly to seek treatment for Paige's mental problems. Many viewers have criticized Abby Lee's attitude towards her students, saying that she is solely responsible for the nervous breakdowns of Kelly Hyland or other mothers.

The costumes of little girls in dance competitions are sometimes controversial. The most brutal came after the airing of the ninth episode of the second season, in which young dancers performed a choreography called "Topless Dancers". In this issue, they were dressed in outfits that created the illusion of nudity. Due to much criticism, this episode was subsequently censored by the channel.

Nia Sioux dance moms

First appearing on Dance Moms in 2011, Nia Sioux was called the dark horse. She was regularly denied performances, and her instructor, Abby Lee Miller, placed her at the base of the pyramid.
