Mackenzie Ziegler was famously known as the youngest member of the Abby Lee Dance Company (ALDC) Junior Elite Competition Team. The cute little dancer used to look up to her dance mentor, Abby Lee Miller, and did everything that she could to make her proud. However, now that she’s all grown up and has a career outside “Dance Moms,” it seems that Maddie Ziegler’s little sister is now ready to put her memories from the show behind her.
Mackenzie Ziegler grew up right in front of every “Dance Moms” fans’ eyes. The talented star was just six years old when she joined the original cast of the hit Lifetime show, making her the youngest of the bunch and an instant fan-favorite.
Abby Lee Miller may have always compared her to her older sister, Maddie Ziegler, but the young one usually nabbed the top prize in her age group category that made her Abby’s favorite ALDC student as well.
Mackenzie ready to move on from Lifetime show
Although Abby Lee Miller has always treated the Ziegler sisters far better than the rest of the ALDC Junior Elite Competition Team, it didn’t stop them from leaving the show in “Dance Moms” season 6. The duo decided to exit from the hit reality dance television series to seek greener pastures. Maddie Ziegler has added actress, model, businesswoman, and writer to her already impressive resume, while Mackenzie Ziegler mainly focused on music and being a YouTube star.
Maddie Ziegler has previously noted that she will never go back to the show, explaining that the stress was too much for her to handle.
“I’m really glad that I did move on from that,” Maddie Ziegler told People. “I was stressed at 11 years old, which shouldn’t happen!”
Maddie & Mackenzie put Lifetime show behind them for good
Just like her older sister, it seems that Mackenzie Ziegler is also completely moving on from “Dance Moms” to the point of blocking Abby Lee Miller from her Instagram account.
The 50-year-old dance instructor, choreographer, and director is facing jail time very soon and was probably taking a stroll down memory lane by posting throwback photos of her ALDC students, Maddie Ziegler, Kendall Vertes, Nia Frazier, and Mackenzie Ziegler.
As Abby Lee Miller tried to tag the girls in the photo, she couldn’t seem to tag Mackenzie Ziegler, with many assuming that the 12-year-old TV personality may have blocked her former mentor.
“Some years ago, in Europe somewhere? Life was simpler and they all learned how to "bevel" that ankle! #aldcla #aldcalways #dancemoms #aldcproud #ALDC #abbyleeapparel btw; I try to tag @kenzieziegler no luck?!?!” the “Dance Moms” instructor wrote.
