Maddie Ziegler’s Last Dance on ‘Dance Moms’

Her sister, Mackenzie Ziegler, and her mother, Melissa Ziegler-Gisoni, also said farewell to the show that brought them fame.

The three shared a special moment onstage after their final competition. Melissa thanked the dance company owner Abby Lee Miller but was unable to continue. Maddie and Mackenzie were able to finish, thanking their choreographer, fellow dancers, and dance mom
