Dance Moms produced some great talent, but amongst the better known names such as JoJo Siwa and Maddie Ziegler, what have the rest of the cast been up to?
Starting off with Areana Lopez. Areana is now married and is expecting a baby boy. She still dances but often posts about her life to her 270,000 followers on Instagram.
She also teaches dance competitively, and has had a nose job.
However, she has confirmed on her Instagram that she has had no contact with her fellow Dance Moms cast members.
Moving on to Kalani Hilliker. She competed on Abby’s Ultimate Dance Competition before being invited to Dance Moms. She has continued to dance and act, appearing on shows like Shake It Up, Bunheads and America’s Got Talent.
She now uses her talent to teach dance and shares her life with almost 8 million followers on Instagram. In August 2024, Hilliker announced her engagement to Nathan Goldman. She launched her own skincare and wellness brand, Kare by Kalani, which she told Business Insider was inspired by the mental health struggles she faced after appearing on the series.
Brooke Hyland danced with her sister Paige Hyland on seasons 1 through the middle of season 4 of Dance Moms. Brooke was the oldest permanent dancer on the team, and she often complained about missing out on time with her friends.
‘I started dancing when I was 2 years old, and I absolutely loved it, I think, up until … right before the show started,’ In 2013, she released a self-titled album featuring songs like “Summer Love Song” and “I Hurt.” She has over 4 million followers on Instagram and has recently got engaged to longtime boyfriend Brian Thalman.
Her younger sister Paige also danced on the show. When she was 13-years-old Paige sued Abby Lee for assault, claiming she was subject to emotional abuse and fear caused by the dance coach’s violent outbursts — including one incident where Miller allegedly tossed a chair across a room. A Los Angeles Superior Court judge dismissed the suit in 2015. She now has almost 4 million followers on Instagram, and she seems to have let go of the feud with Abby after using audio of her for an Instagram reel.
‘You’re skinny, you’re blonde, you’re pretty, you’re telling me nobody at your school hates you?’
Finally Nia Sioux, who appeared in the first seven seasons of Dance Moms, making her the longest-running dancer on the show. After leaving the series, Sioux made her off-Broadway debut in Trip of Love, appeared in the film I Am Mortal and played Emma Barber on The Bold and the Beautiful for over a year.
She has also released music, including the songs “Star in Your Own Life” and “Slay.”
“I grew up so fast. I learned so many lessons from Dance Moms. Even though it still does have a negative kind of effect on me, I would never change anything because it’s made me the person who I am today.”
