As Dance Moms’ beloved star Maddie Ziegler celebrates her 21st birthday, let’s catch up with her and the rest of the cast to see what they’ve been up to since leaving the dance floor behind.
For six seasons, Maddie Ziegler danced her way into our hearts on Dance Moms. She was a true winner, but her journey wasn’t without its challenges. Maddie recently shared her experience, revealing that her former dance teacher, Abby Lee Miller, instilled the belief that only trophies and crowns defined success, even though that’s not the best way to raise a child. She explained how this mindset affected her life and how she’s unlearning those lessons now.
After leaving the show almost a decade ago, Maddie has been on a path of self-discovery, seeking therapy, talking to people, and allowing herself to feel her emotions without fear. She’s also transitioned her perfectionism into a clean and healthy lifestyle. As she celebrates her 21st birthday, Maddie continues to shine, not only as an electropop muse for Sia but also as an actress, author, and more.
Maddie’s not alone in her post-Dance Moms success. The original cast members are still close friends, enjoying the freedom of life without the pressure of the competition. They gather, hang out at each other’s houses, and savor the simple joys of friendship.
