Why did Chloe Lukasiak leave Dance Moms?
American actress, dancer, and reality TV star Chloe Lukasiak, age 22, was born in New York City. As a youngster, she became a household name after appearing in Seasons 1 through 4 of the Dance Moms reality series on the Lifetime channel. In the second part of Season 7, she made her reappearance.
Lukasiak is now mostly known for her acting work rather than her dance. She has appeared in many films, including Center Stage: On Pointe (2016) as Gwen Murphy, Loophole (2017) as Alexandra “Lexi” Smith, A Cowgirl’s Story (2017) as Savanah Stocker, F.R.E.D.I. (2018) as Mallory, Next Level (2019) as Jasmine Joel, Beautiful Scars (2020) as Ashley, and Camp Arrowhead (2020) as Devin Dupree. More than 14 million people follow her across various social media, with roughly 8 million of them being on Instagram alone.
Lukasiak was born to Christina “Christi” (née Zook) and Marc Lukasiak on May 25, 2001, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Clara, her younger sister, is her sibling. The Mars, Pennsylvania, home is where the family lives. Inheritance from Poland, Scotland, Germany, and Italy may be found in her DNA.
At age 2, Chloe enrolled in dancing instruction with the Abby Lee Dancing Company. At first, she stuck to the fundamentals by learning jazz and ballet. She first focused on ballroom dancing, but as she grew older, she began exploring other forms. Lukasiak, as a member of the Abby Lee Dance Company, competed at the state, regional, and national levels from the ages of five to thirteen, earning multiple championships at each level.
On Dance Moms, Lukasiak participated in a wide variety of dance styles. These included lyrical, contemporary, musical theater, ballet, jazz, hip-hop, acro, Spanish, and Bollywood.
The show’s host, Abby Lee Miller founded and directed the Abby Lee Dance Company, of which Lukasiak was a member. Miller was proud of her choreographic abilities and often reminded the dancers and their moms that she was in the business of making stars. She was a strict dancing instructor whose methods were sometimes dubious. Miller often reminded the young women that “second place is the first to lose,” prompting many a soggy night on the pillow.
Miller would put all the dancers on a pyramid based on their previous week’s performances, pitting them against each other and their moms in addition to her poisonous studio atmosphere, which served as the background for most of the program. Although these habits may appear strange and harmful, they were not enough to stop Lukasiak from striving for the top.
Lukasiak often sought recognition from her dancing instructor as a child. In Season 1, Episode 11 of “Dance Moms,” she asks Miller whether she can make it on Broadway. Miller answered, “Absolutely,” and encouraged her. Because Lukasiak was continually reinforced as the number two female, such support was short-lived.
Dance parents thought Miller favored her star dancer, Maddie Ziegler. Interestingly, show spectators always cheered Lukasiak’s triumphs. People adore an underdog, or it might have been Lukasiak’s competence and kindness despite Miller’s abusive actions.
In “Dance Moms,” Miller’s criticisms and insults caused several fights. The last disagreement that led to Chloe Lukasiak’s expulsion from “Dance Moms” was sparked by something she overheard her dancing instructor say to her mom during one of the show’s most controversial moments.
Miller’s argument with Chloe Lukasiak’s mom, Christi, in Season 4’s finale was the last straw in her “Dance Moms” journey. According to IBT, viewers viewed the edited version of the program and thought Lukasiak wanted to leave after hearing Miller tell her parents she was “washed up.”
“Dance Moms” didn’t reveal everything. Christi tweeted that Miller was mocking Lukasiak’s lazy eye, stating she should have it corrected. Christi feels the presentation was modified to “protect” Miller’s image, but the 13-year-old dancer left after this insult.
Chloe Lukasiak discusses silent sinus syndrome in a YouTube video. She also describes the horror of hearing her dancing instructor insult her. Despite leaving Miller, Lukasiak talks about her former dancing instructor with elegance and respect, a tribute to her character. Lukasiak’s supporters aren’t surprised.
Chloe made a good decision by leaving the show; it affected her mental health and showed how toxic their environment can be.
