'Dance Moms' Season 8 News & Update: Chloe Lukasiak Gladly Returns While Maddie Ziegler Totally Done With Lifetime Show
Chloe Lukasiak showed interest in competing again, which is why the 15-year-old dancer, actress, and model decided to return to "Dance Moms" despite her emotional exit in season 4. Maddie Ziegler, on the other hand, is not willing to give the reality dance television series another try.
Chloe Lukasiak left "Dance Moms" after a heated argument erupted between her mom, Christi Lukasiak, and the famously tough dance teacher, Abby Lee Miller. A couple of seasons later, her biggest rival, Maddie Ziegler, also left the hit Lifetime show to seek greener pasteur and to focus on her individual career.
During the "Dance Moms" season 7 finale, Chloe Lukasiak revealed that the reason for her return is that she missed doing competitions. These dance competitions that the "Center Stage: On Pointe" actress was talking about are the very reasons why Maddie Ziegler is glad to be finally moving on from doing.
Although she was clearly Abby Lee Miller's favorite student, the 14-year-old "Ballerina" star just could not take the pressure that was given to her at a very young age. Maddie Ziegler revealed in a recent interview with People that she was stressed out at the age of 11, and believes that nobody deserves that. "I'm really glad that I've moved on from that," the young star shared. "I did learn a lot from her [Abby] and we did have like some fun times but I feel like now I've never been happier in my life and I'm not stressed at all."
As for Chloe Lukasiak, her comeback in "Dance Moms" season 8 does not mean that she will be dancing for Abby Lee Miller. In fact, the talented dancer will be competing against her former Abby Lee Dance Company (ALDC) Junior Elite Competition Team mates, under MDP (Murietta Dance Project), which happens to be the ALDC's biggest rival.
