Chloe Lukasiak & Paige Hyland Review

My personal favourite on the show is Chloe Elizabeth Lukasiak, (often called Chlobird) dances with such emotion and I wish she performed more Musical Theatre solos on Dance Moms. She is often given Lyrical or Contemporary solos which she looks beautiful in and can really use her emotion. A personally favourite for me would be 'Silence' and 'Wreck It'. I think in both of these dances she, as well as just executing the steps, really made it her own and like it was very spontaneous. I think that Chloe gets treated very badly and although she may not be as technically good as Maddie she is definitely just as nice or even nicer to watch. I think she should be treated as Chloe instead of Maddie's sidekick. I'm very proud of her for coping with everything Abby says to her. She also has performed in many duets and trios, my personal favourite of these is 'Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil'.

 

 

Paige Mackenzie Hyland and Chloe are often called the 'Twinnies'. This is because they look so similar (see picture above). Paige is often called Paigey or PaigeyMack. Paige is not given the opportunities she deserves by Abby because apparently she is a 'mediocre brat'. Her older sister Brooke Hyland is on the team too. In Season 1, Paige and Brooke have a duet Ooh La La and Paige's last solo in Season 4 is also called Ooh La La! Unfortunately during Season 4 Kelly Hyland (their mother) had a physical fight with Abby and Abby called the police and Kelly, Brooke and Paige were removed from the building. They were taken to court for physical abuse. Now for the rest of this competition season none of them will be allowed near the Abby Lee Dance Company. Although this was meant to be forever so many Hyland fans have said they will stop watching the show therefore Abby has said that she will allow them back, for Season 5 (May), as long as the court say it's fine. I'm proud of Paige though, because she's stuck with dancing since she was little even after being called a brat.

 

 

 

 

Maddie & Mackenzie Ziegler Review

Maddie Ziegler is a beautiful dancer, who's definitely made herself known for her dancing on the hit tv show, Dance Moms. She can perform anything from sophisticated lyrical pieces to upbeat jazz numbers all wonderfully. She gets a lot of people who dislike her from the way she is portrayed on the show because she is Abby the dance teacher's favourite. But, is this really her fault? Does anyone honestly think that Maddie asks Abby to favour her? No, obviously not. Yes, sometimes she can seem a little pretentious, but every child wants to win sometimes don't they? Personally I think Maddie is a beautiful dancer, who can portray any type of emotion on stage.

Mackenzie Ziegler, Maddie's younger sister, has always lived in Maddie's shadow. She is always told to be like Maddie, but she is a completely different dancer, she is amazing at acrobatics, and had her side aerial, and back tuck. She has also performed some lyrical solos on Dance Moms, during which she can show emotion excellently. I, personally, think that she, out of all the girls on dance moms, has progressed the most.
