In honor of Maddie Ziegler’s new movie, The Fallout, we’re taking a look back at everything the star has accomplished this far!
Most notably recognized from her time on Dance Moms, Maddie Ziegler has come a long way from her Abby Lee Dance Company championship winning days. Most recently, Ziegler co-starred in The Fallout opposite Jenna Ortega. The movie was a big hit, and fans have been raving about it since the premiere!
I watched The Fallout again today and it’s just as powerful as when I saw it at SXSW. Jenna Ortega and Maddie Ziegler are truly talented, the script is raw and isn’t afraid to be honest at all. The ending is absolutely devastating and once again is really raw. pic.twitter.com/p4PHQzn2cd

Ziegler’s long list of accomplishments stems from her ability to succeed in multiple industries due to her wide variety of skills. Ziegler continued to stand out as a dancer by starring in several of Sia’s music videos, including “Chandelier,” which won the ARIA Music Award for best video and MTV’s Video Music Awards Best Choreography. She starred in “Elastic Heart” as well as “Big Girls Cry,” “The Greatest, Rainbow,” “Eye of the Needle,” and “Together.” Ziegler had the opportunity to travel and perform with Sia at the Dubai World Cup and the Fuji Rock Festival in Japan. Ziegler also starred in Alexx Calise’s “Cry” music video.
These music videos opened the door for Zielger to rise beyond her Dance Moms fame. She performed on shows such as Jimmy Kimmel Live! The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Dancing with the Stars, and Saturday Night Live. She even made an appearance on Project Runway. Most recently Ziegler had the chance to sit down with Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show.

A few years later, the beyond talented dancer made her way into the acting industry where she thrived as well. Ziegler guest starred on Disney Channel’s Austin & Ally and ABC’s Pretty Little Liars. Ziegler also acted on a few episodes of Nickelodeon’s Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn. Gaining a positive response to her rolls and an even larger fan base, Ziegler decided to continue pursuing acting.
In 2016 she voiced Camille Le Haut in Ballerina. A year later Ziegler played Christina Sickleman in The Book of Henry. Ziegler again received good reviews for her acting skills. However in 2021 she starred in Sia’s film “Music” which endured a lot of backlash. Fans were excited to see Ziegler accept the role of Velma in Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story. The film itself won three Golden Globe awards in 2021. In an Instagram post Ziegler wrote that it was an “honor to dance alongside the most talented cast.”
