The American dance competition reality show “Dance Moms” on Lifetime lost its biggest star during its Season 6 finale a few months ago when Maddie Ziegler decided to leave the show for good.
She also left with her sister Mackenzie and mother Melissa Gisoni, leaving dance leader Abby Lee Miller with no other choice but to accept the fact that she had to draw on her other talented pool to make the show’s next big star for the upcoming Season 7.
While she has a very good talent pool remaining to hold the fort for Season 7 of “Dance Moms” with the likes of Kendall Vertes, Nia Frasier-Sioux, JoJo Siwa, Kalani Hilliker, and Brynn Rumfallo, each of them has yet to come to their own as a big star.
Many assumed that Lukasiak is leaving Studio 19, her original studio, to return to Abby Lee Dance Company.
However, it is also possible that the dancer may also mean that Studio 19 has other branches and the particular branch where she was dancing may already be closed for good and move to a different branch, notes Game & Guide.
Chloe Lukasiak has not commented on the rumors yet but she would certainly love to be a part of “Dance Moms” Season 7 although those in the know say that her hectic schedule will not allow her.
Lukasiak is one of the original cast members of “Dance Moms” and she joined the hit show at the tender age of 10 as part of Abby Lee Miller’s Junior Elite Competition Team. She left along with her mother Christi after Season 4 of “Dance Moms” when Abby Lee Miller commented on the dancer’s eye.
Passing the buck on others
Abby Lee Miller is not the type to admit her mistakes and take responsibilities for her past actions and misdeeds.
When she was asked recently to comment on her cases, Abby said that the mothers of her dancers are partly to blame for her misfortunes.
She said that when someone makes mistakes, the person moves forward. She claimed that her biggest mistake is trusting people and worrying about their kid’s dancing instead of worrying about her business first. She said that she has lived and learned from it.
Abby Lee Miller is facing fraud charges for non-declaration of income. So critics believe that there is no connection between her court cases with the mothers of her young dancers so it was obvious that she was obviously passing the buck to her past misdeeds, notes Movie News Guide.
On October 11, the dance instructor will be on the court again for the decision on her case. It is possible that she might be sent to prison for 24 to 30 months and may be required to pay $5 million in penalties.
A big blow to the show
Losing Maddie Ziegler was a big blow to “Dance Moms” on the Lifetime network after Season 6. It’s actually synonymous to the time when the show also lost Chloe Lukasiak after Season 4.
While everyone was focusing on the reasons why Maddie and her sister Mackenzie and their mother Melissa Gisoni left the show, they are losing sight of the fact that “Dance Moms” is actually a talent development show.
No matter how popular the stars of the show shall become, “Dance Moms” and its dance leader Abby Lee Miller, shall continue to draw on its young pool to develop new talents and fill the void left by those who have moved on.
It could be recalled that when Chloe Lukasiak was at her prime in “Dance Moms,” Maddie Ziegler was playing second fiddle most of the time. But when Lukasiak left to pursue more career options, Maddie Ziegler’s star started to shine in the TV series. In fact, Maddie has become the face of “Dance Moms” for Seasons 5 and 6.
I would love to see Chloe come back! I can only hope she does! Love DANCE MOMS!
