Dance Attack

Maddie Ziegler's Climb to the Top.
Since she was two she has been an active member of the ALDC ( Abby Lee Dance Company) She was a girl with a dream to be a famous dancer. This is her story, Maddie Ziegler's story.
You may recognize Maddie from the reality TV show on Lifetime Dance Moms. In fact she has been part of the ALDC since 2004. Maddie Nicole Ziegler has set a challenging goal for 2015, that goal is to win "Elite Dancer" at West Coast Dancer Explosion. But no worries, Maddie has been trained in tap, ballet, lyrical, aero, jazz and ariel. Out off all those, her top two favorites are tap and lyrical. Besides from Dance Moms Maddie has also starred in Austin & Ally, Drop Dead Diva, The Ellen Show, Dancing with the Stars, etc.
But before all that happened, Maddie was a 4'6" dancer at the ALDC with a big dream. Today Maddie is 12 born on the 30th of September. Maddie has had eight callbacks on a Broadway show Billy Elliot, but she did not do the shoe because the Maddie wouldn't participation the show Dance Moms. Very little people know that Maddie was not her original name, for the first two weeks of her life her name was Taylor. Maddie and her sister McKenzie ( who is also an original member of the ALDC and the show Dance Moms) are homeschooled, so they can do their school work in the morning and be practicing dance at the ALDC all afternoon. Some of Maddie's favorite things are: math, neon blue, purple and pink, and when Maddie is not dancing she enjoys making YouTube videos with her friends. Another thing about Maddie ad McKenzie is that there is a room in their house filled entirely of leotards called "The Store".
