Dance Moms Departure

In the newest Dance Moms episode, which aired on April 12, the Zieglers finally announced they will not be returning to Dance Moms after season six. Maddie Ziegler, her younger sister Mackenzie Ziegler, and their mom Melissa Ziegler-Gisoni have been on the TV show since the debut in 2011. The Zieglers made many memories at the Abby Lee Dance Company (ALDC), so it was very hard for Abby Lee Miller, the other moms, the Zieglers’ teammates, and their fans to say goodbye.

The Zieglers have consistently been Abby Lee Miller’s favorites since season one. So, when Melissa told Abby they were leaving her dance company, Abby was heartbroken. She started crying and gave a small speech about how proud she is of Maddie and Mackenzie. The other moms were very sad about the Zieglers leaving too, because they’re all very good friends with Melissa and care about her kids.

The Zieglers leaving Dance Moms will have a huge impact on the show. Many fans are very upset about this news and say that they will stop watching the show because the Zieglers are gone. Other fans are supporting Maddie and Mackenzie, whether they’re on the show or not.

The rumors of the Zieglers leaving surfaced when many gossip blogs/magazines wrote articles about it even before Melissa announced the news. In the episodes leading up to Melissa’s announcement, the other dance moms constantly asked Melissa questions about the rumor, but she never answered the questions and only said, “My daughters are never leaving the ALDC.” Melissa Ziegler-Gisoni lied to Abby Lee, the other moms, and her fans.

The Zieglers are leaving the ALDC because over the years, Maddie Ziegler has been getting many dance and acting opportunities for music videos and TV shows on Disney channel. Now, Maddie Ziegler was offered a job to do a movie produced by Sia, a famous pop singer, because she starred in multiple Sia music videos. The Zieglers accepted this job offer because they think it’s more important than going to a dance competition every week. Melissa also thinks that it’s a better idea to leave the ALDC because she’d, “rather be on a job than on a bench with negative mothers”. Although Maddie’s younger sister, Mackenzie, hasn’t gotten any job offers that have been publicized yet, she must leave the TV show too because her Dance Moms contract states that she can’t be on the show without her mom.

Maddie, Mackenzie, and Melissa Ziegler have had their ups and downs at the Abby Lee Dance Company, but their time has finally come to an end. The memories and the friends that they have made on the show will always stay with them no matter what. The Zieglers will be missed and they will go on to great careers in their future.
