Chloe Lukasiak

**Chloé Elizabeth Lukasiak (pronounced loo-KAY-zee-ack)** (born May 25, 2001) is the eldest daughter of Marc and Christi Lukasiak and the sister of Clara Lukasiak.

Chloe is most known for starring on the hit reality TV show, Dance Moms, as a main performer during seasons 1, 2, 3, 4 & the latter half of season 7 and a guest during the 1st half of season 7. However, after her leave during season 4, Chloe branched out into acting, writing and modeling, having numerous and continuous successes in these areas as well.

During the first four seasons of *Dance Moms*, Chloe was known to be Maddie Ziegler's main competition on the team. She was often the "number two" girl and was mostly placed in the middle or occasionally the top of the pyramid.

Chloe and her mother eventually departed from both the show and the studio after a fight between Abby and Christi in *Hollywood Here We Come, Part 2*, where although otherwise was shown in the episode, Christi later revealed that Abby had actually made fun of Chloe's medical condition instead of calling her "washed up".

Just a few months later, Chloe started dancing at Studio 19 Dance Complex. After the 2014/15 season, Chloe decided to stop dancing competitively but still continued to train at the studio until 2018, when she and Clara switched to Dance Mechanics. Upon graduating from high school, Chloe left Dance Mechanics and moved to Los Angeles, California to study Integrated Marketing and Creative Writing at Pepperdine University.

Chloe and her mother did not feature on the show again until Season 7 and Season 7B, when they returned to guest star. The pair went on to join Murrieta Dance Project for two episodes, before later joining the ALDC teen dancers to form The Irreplaceables.

### Early Life

Chloé Elizabeth Lukasiak was born on May 25, 2001, in Churchill, Pennsylvania. She is of Polish, Scottish, Russian, German and Italian descent. Lukasiak began dance classes at the Abby Lee Dance Company at age two. At first, she did "the basics" such as jazz and ballet. But as she got older she started to do more styles and has trained in everything except ballroom. From the ages of five to thirteen, Lukasiak competed throughout the United States as part of the ALDC, winning numerous titles at the regional, state, and national levels.

### Career

In 2011, Lukasiak and her mother, alongside Abby Lee Dance Company owner Abby Lee Miller, other young dancers, and their mothers, were cast on Lifetime's *Dance Moms*. Together they made up Miller's Junior Elite Competition Team. After the Los Angeles national competition in July 2014 (filmed for an episode aired October 7, 2014), Lukasiak's mother decided that the environment of the TV show along with her own negative relationship with Miller was detrimental to her daughter and they decided to leave ALDC. The finale episode of Season 4 was their last appearance on the ALDC Junior Elite Competition Team because of Miller being unappreciative about the fact that Chloé was the highest scoring ALDC soloist at Nationals, beating Kendall and Kamryn. After the end of Season 4, Lukasiak left the ALDC for good and switched to Studio 19 Dance Complex. Lukasiak's competition team from Studio 19 went on to win nationals in July 2015.

In high demand now that she was free of the ALDC, Chloe was invited to be a demonstrator and assistant for Blake McGrath in the VIP Dance Events convention (Calgary, Oct. 2014). She became a spokes-model as well as a catalog model for Just for Kix, a dance-wear company, partnering with them for an anti-bullying video and campaign called #NobodyIsYou. Chloe continued her dance training at Studio 19 Dance Complex near Pittsburgh, joining their award-winning competition team for their Spring 2015 season. One of her dances was an anti-suicide duet with Madelyne Spang. Then, she joined the Triple Threat Talent Tour as a guest performer and assistant for several dance conventions in 2015/2016.

Lukasiak has posted many professionally-filmed dance videos on her *YouTube* channel, as well as being cast as the lead in several videos by other artists from 2014-2019, including Bianca Ryan, Barbie and her fellow Dance Moms Cast Member Nia Sioux. One of her dance performances, filmed with transgender vocalist Ali J, was featured on *CNN*. She filmed two dance-themed promotions for *Playtex Sport* and an anti-bullying dance video for *Seventeen Magazine*.

Lukasiak won the first "Choice Dancer" award at the 2015 *Teen Choice Awards* being the most voted for person in the whole show with 30 million votes cast and the "Dancers Choice Award" for "Favorite Dancer 17 & Under" at the 2015 *Industry Dance Awards*.

Since the age of 10, Chloe has modeled for several companies, such as *Oxyjen*, *Tutu DuMonde*, *Cicci's Costumes*, *Sally Miller Fashion*, *90 Degrees of Reflex*, *Good HYOUman*, and *Boy Meets Girl*. In 2016, she walked the runway for *Max Azria BCBG*, and in September 2017 she was the representative of *JustFab's* "Rocking Ballerina" clothing collection. During NY Fashion Week in Feb. 2018, Chloe became a "Gelwick Girl," being styled by Andrew Gelwick for her book tour and several fashion shows at New York Fashion Week. She continues to work with several companies, most recently *JustFab, Maybelline* and *Invisalign*.

In 2015, Chloe branched out into acting and was cast in "*Center Stage: On Pointe*," the third movie in the popular "Center Stage" dance movie series. Following this, she appeared in the Bailee Madison movie "*A Cowgirl's Story*," the science-fiction/inspirational thriller called "*Loophole*" (a lead role), and supporting roles in the family-friendly movies "*Camp Arrowhead*," "*Next Level*," and "*F.R.E.D.I.*" She has also provided her acting talents in the 2020 short film *Beautiful Scars* as a Co-Lead with two other actors.

Chloe has filmed over 70 episodes of various series, including two seasons of her own dance tutorial show, "*Chloe on Pointe*," 16 episodes of Disney's "*Wicked Weekly*" (a promotional Youtube/TV series for "*Descendants 2*"), two seasons of the fashion contest show "*Ready Set Style*," the lead role in the multi-episode web thriller "*Limelight*," 4 episodes of *Victoria's Secret-PINK's* "GRLPWR" series, 2 episodes of *Invisalign's* "Unstoppable" series, and promotional videos for the movie "*Zombies 2*," and *NBC's* "Super Store." In the Summer of 2017, she starred in an eight-episode series called "Chloe Does It," which was broadcast on *Lifetime TV* along with Season 7B of *Dance Moms*, following that up with a 2019 episode of "Famously Afraid," about her spooky experiences in New Orleans, on the Travel Channel.

Chloe's well-publicized return to "Dance Moms," in Spring 2017, featured her dancing with the top-notch Murrieta Dance Factory team for 2 competitions before a belated reunion with her former teammates, who had just quit the ALDC. The new team, The Irreplaceables, worked with Aisha Francis as well as Cheryl Burke from "Dancing With the Stars." Chloe competed in six group dances, one duet (with Nia Sioux Frazier) and one solo. After filming ended, she joined Kendall Vertes and Kalani Hilliker for an Irreplaceables tour, for which Chloe performed three new trios, two new duets, and a new solo, with additional new duets and a solo for some 2018 dates in South America and Australia.

Chloe maintained a consistent presence in Digital Award Shows about dancing and fashion; among her wins were the CelebMix 2016 "Best Dancer" contest, Twist's 2016 "Trendsetter of the Year," J14's 2016 "Icon of the Year," and Tiger Beat's 2017 "Girl Power Icon of the Year." In 2019, Chloe took part in the Tate McRae "Tear Myself Apart" Contest, placing in the top 5.

Chloe was invited to the United Nations in 2016 for Peace Day, returning to speak in 2017. She also contributed a piece detailing her experience with overcoming bullying in the 2016 book "Ignite!". On social media, she has come out in support of immigrants, LGBTQ youth, mental health support, anti-drug pledges, preventing school shootings, kindness, Black Lives Matter, women's rights and awareness of eating disorders.

In 2018, her first book, "Girl On Pointe," was published, along with a well-attended book tour. Her two-year partnership with Barnes & Noble and Girl's Life Magazine, "Chloe's Book Club," featured monthly book recommendations, recaps, discussion questions and commentary. Since then, Chloe has separated her book club from the partnership and now runs it on her own. She has been sharing poetry on Instagram and has announced her intention to write a fantasy book series.

Chloe is currently in her senior year of college at Pepperdine University, living in her own apartment in Los Angeles. In her rare spare time between college, acting classes/auditions & celebrity events, she loves reading, writing, journaling, going to movies, surfing, hanging out with friends, hiking, horseback riding, yoga and fitness boxing. She continues to share her busy life with her fans - everything from Pittsburgh quarantine life to L.A. apartment adventures. She maintains an active social media presence, with millions of followers on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Snapchat, TikTok, and Instagram. On her YouTube channel, she has filmed many DIYs, challenges, daily routines, hauls, room and apartment tours, vlogs, Q&As, and behind-the-scenes videos inviting fans into her personal life.
