Madison Nicole Ziegler (/ˈzɪɡlər/;[1] born September 30, 2002) is an American dancer and actress. She was initially known for appearing in Lifetime's reality show Dance Moms from 2011 (at age 8) until 2016. Since 2014, she has gained recognition for starring in a series of music videos by Sia, beginning with "Chandelier" and "Elastic Heart", which have in total attracted more than 5 billion views on YouTube. Ziegler has appeared in films, television shows, concerts, advertisements and on magazine covers. She was included by Time magazine on its list of the "30 most influential teens" in 2015, 2016 and 2017.

Ziegler was a judge on the 2016 season of So You Think You Can Dance: The Next Generation, toured with Sia in North America and Australia in 2016 and 2017 and has given dance tours with her sister, Mackenzie. Her 2017 memoir, The Maddie Diaries, was a New York Times Best Seller.[2] She voiced the character Camille Le Haut in the animated film Ballerina (2016), appeared as Christina Sickleman in The Book of Henry (2017), played the title role in the film Music (2021) and was Mia in the high school drama film The Fallout (2021). Her social media presence includes an Instagram account with more than 13 million followers.[3]

Early life and education[]

Ziegler was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to Melissa Ziegler-Gisoni and Kurt Ziegler, who owned a mortgage company.[4] She is of Polish, German and Italian descent.[5] Her parents divorced in 2011,[6] and her mother married Greg Gisoni in 2013.[7] Ziegler began taking ballet lessons at the age of two[8] and joined the Abby Lee Dance Company at age four, where she trained in tap, ballet, lyrical, contemporary, acro, jazz and aerial dance.[5][9] Ziegler has a younger sister, Mackenzie, a dancer and singer who appeared with her on Dance Moms,[10] two older half-brothers from her father's previous marriage, and two older step-siblings from the previous marriage of her step-father, Greg Gisoni, a vice-president at Westinghouse Electric Company.[4][11]

Ziegler attended Sloan Elementary School in Murrysville, near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, until 2013, when she left to be homeschooled.[12] Ziegler was raised in Murrysville,[13] but as a teenager she began to work and spend most of her time in Los Angeles.[14][15] From early 2017 to mid-2018, Ziegler dated Australian teenager Jack Kelly,[16] the son of former New York Yankees infielder Pat Kelly.[17] In 2019 she began dating singer Eddie Benjamin.[8][18]

Career[]

Dance Moms and music videos[]

With Abby Lee Dance Company, Ziegler won numerous titles at regional, state and national dance competitions,[5][19] including the 2014 Dancers Choice Award for Favorite Dancer 17 & Under.[20] In 2010, Ziegler performed for Paula Abdul's reality television program Live to Dance.[21] In 2011, eight-year-old Ziegler and her mother appeared on the first season of Lifetime's Dance Moms,[22] a reality show about the young dancers on Abby Lee Miller's Abby Lee Dance Company Elite Competition Team and their often quarrelsome mothers.[23][24] Ziegler "emerged as the preternaturally polished standout on six seasons" on the show,[25] where she continued to appear alongside her mother and younger sister, Mackenzie, until 2016, their last season on the show.[26][27] In 2013, Ziegler made guest appearances on a spin-off program, Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition.[28] Dance Moms helped to make Ziegler "one of the most famous dancers in the entertainment world currently. ... [She inspires] other dancers to pursue their dreams with originality and grace."[22]

Ziegler has appeared in music videos for such artists as Alexx Calise, Sia and Todrick Hall.[29][30] She gained wide notice, at the age of 11, by starring in the 2014 video for "Chandelier" by Sia, who discovered her on Dance Moms.[25] The video won the ARIA Music Award for Best Video[31] and received nominations at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards for Video of the Year and Best Choreography, winning the latter.[32] It was also nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Music Video in 2015.[33] It has received more than 2 billion views on YouTube, and at one point it was the 13th most viewed YouTube video of all time.[34] Ziegler said of the choreography: "It was really different and weird for me, because I usually don't, you know, be a crazy person every time. It was so fun to do and it was really out of the box and it expanded me a lot, because I'm used to competition dances where you're like, Point your legs! But this time it was like, you just need to let go and feel it."[35]

In 2015, Ziegler starred with Shia LaBeouf in "Elastic Heart", another Sia video, which has accumulated more than 1 billion YouTube views.[36] Later that year, Ziegler starred in the music video for "Big Girls Cry" to complete her trilogy of videos from Sia's album 1000 Forms of Fear.[37] Ziegler danced to Sia's vocals on several television shows in 2014 and 2015, including The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Dancing with the Stars, Jimmy Kimmel Live! and Saturday Night Live, as well as at the Hollywood Bowl.[38][39] By the end of 2015, Ziegler had performed with Sia on the Ellen DeGeneres Show three times.[40] She also performed to "Chandelier", alongside Sia and Kristen Wiig, at the 2015 Grammy Awards.[41] The "Chandelier" and "Elastic Heart" videos were both selected as part of PopSugar's 2016 list of "25 of the Best Dance Videos of the Last Decade".[42] In 2016, Ziegler starred in a fourth Sia video, "Cheap Thrills", from the album This Is Acting.[43] A Teen Vogue reviewer wrote that Ziegler "delivers another powerful performance".[44] This was followed by a fifth Sia video, later that year, for "The Greatest".[45][46] The video of the song has accumulated more than 600 million YouTube views.[47] Reviewing Ziegler's performance, Kathleen Hildebrand wrote in Süddeutsche Zeitung that anyone who has seen Ziegler's "iconic" movement will never again return to "boringly ordinary" MTV videos.[48] Ziegler continued the collaboration with Sia and the group LSD in the music videos for Thunderclouds (2018) and "No New Friends" (2019).[49][50] Ziegler also dances in the music video for Sia's single, "Together", from the soundtrack of Sia's 2021 film, Music.[51]

Acting[]

In 2012, Ziegler landed her first professional acting job, portraying the character Young Deb on an episode of the Lifetime series Drop Dead Diva.[52] In 2014, Ziegler appeared as a guest star in Episode 34 of HitStreak Summer, a made-for-mobile series.[53] She continued her acting career in 2015 with guest spots on the Disney Channel series Austin & Ally and ABC Family's Pretty Little Liars.[54][55] In January 2016, she guest starred in the episode "Ballet and the Beasts" on Nickelodeon's Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn.[56] She returned to Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn in January 2017 in the episode "Keeping Up with the Quadashians".[57]

Ziegler voiced the character Camille in the animated film, Ballerina (2016), released in the US in 2017 as Leap!,[58] and played Christina in the feature film The Book of Henry (2017).[59] Colin Trevorrow, the director of The Book of Henry, told Entertainment Weekly that Ziegler "is extraordinarily capable. ... She finds whatever emotion she needs to dial in very quickly. No one taught her how to do that she just knows."[60] A reviewer for Santa Monica Daily Press wrote that, in The Book of Henry, "Ziegler ... does a wonderful job with a character forced to hide her pain".[61][62] In 2019, she narrated a tribute film about her friend Simone Biles for BBC Sport.[63] Ziegler co-starred as the title character in a musical film written and directed by Sia, titled Music, released in February 2021.[64][65] Chris Willman, in Variety, called Ziegler's performance as a non-verbal autistic teenager "not always credible" but commented that she had "no limitations in ... dancing up a storm".[66] Although she received the 2021 Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Supporting Actress for the role,[67] she received several favorable reviews.[68]

Ziegler co-stars in the high school drama film The Fallout, which premiered in March 2021 at South by Southwest, where it won the Grand Jury Prize in the Narrative Feature Film Competition.[69][70] It is set for release on HBO Max and in theatres where HBO Max is not available.[71] Ziegler's performance as the popular but lonely Mia was called "stoic yet sensitive and vulnerable",[72] "a staggering performance"[73] and "astounding ... fully realized and complex".[74] She is scheduled to appear as Velma in Steven Spielberg's upcoming version of West Side Story.[9][75]

The series centers on a 12-year-old dancer, Harper, whose family relocates to a new state and negotiates the pre-teen challenges of making new friends while earning her place on a competitive dance team.[133] The first novel, The Audition, was released in 2017,[134] The Callback was released in 2018,[135] and The Competition followed in 2019.[136]

Philanthropy[]

In 2012, Ziegler, along with her mother and sister, partnered with Starlight Children's Foundation to help raise awareness for chronically ill youth.[141][142] In 2016, Ziegler and her sister made a public service announcement for DoSomething.org's Birthday Mail campaign, which enables people to send homemade birthday cards to children living in homeless shelters.[143] The same organization placed the Ziegler sisters on their 2016 list of charitable young celebrities.[144] Ziegler also performed with Travis Wall at Nigel Lythgoe's Dizzy Feet Foundation gala in 2016 to raise funds for dance education programs for low-income children and scholarships for talented students at dance schools in the U.S.[145]

Since 2016, Ziegler has partnered with Dancers Against Cancer, appearing in public service announcements to raise awareness and funding for people battling cancer.[146] She starred in a 2017 ASPCA Public service announcement, set to Sia's song "Puppies Are Forever", to encourage people to adopt shelter and rescue dogs.[147] In 2018, Ziegler teamed up with Sia and MAC Cosmetics, with an ad, choreographed to Sia's song "Helium", for a lipstick with all proceeds to benefit the company's AIDS Fund.[148] She appeared on Celebrity Family Feud on July 7, 2019, together with her sister, mother, aunt and dancer Charlize Glass, playing for "My Friend's Place", where they have volunteered in the past, which provides meals for homeless youth in Los Angeles.[149]

Reputation and accolades[]

In Billboard magazine, music writer Jason Lipshutz, called Ziegler's work in "Chandelier" "a dazzling dance performance".[150] The Guardian commented that she "dances with such impressive flexibility".[151] Rolling Stone thought that her "crisp moves and theatrical mugging were a great fit for Ryan Heffington's imaginative choreography" and praised her "charisma that makes this video mesmerizing: Her dancing makes your memory tingle".[152] Dazed magazine wrote that "Ziegler interprets the song's lyrics into something that is deranged, isolated, manic and profound."[90] People magazine called her "a super-human graceful alien sent from Planet Talented to make us mere mortals look really clumsy".[89] A 2015 feature in The Huffington Post also praised her artistry:

Her ... jétés and pirouettes juxtapose self-containment with a sort of reckless abandon. But it is her face ... that truly captivates her audience thanks to the tantalizing allure of catharsis through art. [Ziegler's] work ethic, not to mention her evident love for the art, has made her relentlessly relevant. She has something to say with her performances, whether in a music video for Sia or in a solo at nationals. Her technique is lovely, especially for a 12-year-old. She has stretched knees, pointed feet, and arms that float on clouds, her fingers perfectly placed. But still more important is her virtuosity, her connection with the public. She tells a narrative that resonates with the viewer, whether portraying a scorned lover or a werewolf. This maturity is astounding for a preteen – she just gets it. She's meant to perform, meant to communicate with people. She has defied the odds of Generation Z's competitive, egocentric mentality to make her career about the work, not the celebrity.[153]

Ballet choreographer Troy Schumacher told New York magazine in 2016: "She has, fascinatingly, really created her own world of dance. When we talk about great dancers, it's definitely a persona that leaves a lasting impression – it's not necessarily the most technically perfect dancer. She's only 13, but there's a strong sense of personality that comes through in her movement that is somewhat iconic."[25] Billboard's Jason Lipshutz wrote that Ziegler's live participation in Sia's Nostalgic for the Present Tour "transforms a staged affair into a live one, and a great lineup into an indispensable arena experience"[154] and that Ziegler "possesses an astounding control of her physicality. ... [Her] presence adds a mischievous energy, as if replicated movements can't capture the heart behind those wide eyes and deranged smiles."[155] Leslie Ventura of Las Vegas Weekly noted that, on the tour, "Ziegler ... danced furiously alongside the singer, adding dimension and weight to the dramatic vocals."[156] Britt Robson of the Star Tribune added, "The clear-cut star was Ziegler, obviously Sia's alter ego. ... Ziegler was a riveting whirlwind, contorting her appendages and facial expressions with equal aplomb, topped by forward flips".[157] Jon Pareles of The New York Times wrote that Ziegler's frenetic moves and flickering expressions ramp up the songs' emotional stakes.[158] Reviewing Sia's concert in 2017, Richard He of The Guardian called Ziegler "a physical virtuoso to match Sia's vocal acrobatics, embodying the songs' emotional turmoil."[124] David James Young of Junkee felt that Ziegler's performance "cements her status as one of the great dancers of the modern era. ... She leaves everything out there on the stage".[159] Bonnie Malkin of The Guardian wrote that Ziegler's "face and body are extraordinary. ... So expressive, so wild in her movement, so magnetic."[160]

Ziegler was named by Time magazine as one of the "30 most influential teens of 2015"[83] she made the list again in 2016[161] and in 2017.[162] She was also on the Harpers Bazaar 2015 list of "19 Rising Style Icons Aged 19 and Under".[163] Billboard selected Sia and Ziegler's performance of "Elastic Heart" on Saturday Night Live 2015 as one of the 10 Best SNL musical performances since the 1990s, "thanks in part to 12-year-old dance phenom Maddie Ziegler, who ... displayed power, vulnerability, and more than a little weirdness".[164] Ziegler won a 2016 People's Choice Award,[165] a 2016 Teen Choice Award[166] and a 2017 Teen Choice Award.[167] She was nominated for a 2016 Shorty Award[168] and four 2017 Shorty Awards, where she won in one category and received an audience honor in another.[169][170] In 2018 and 2019, The Hollywood Reporter named Ziegler among Hollywood's top thirty stars under age eighteen.[171][172] In 2018, for the third year in a row, Ziegler won the award for Choice Dancer at the Teen Choice Awards.[173]
