Maddie Ziegler Learned the ‘Chandelier’ Choreography at Warp Speed

Maddie Ziegler is known for quite a few things. Most recently, she’s been making a name for herself as an actor by starring in films like The Fallout and West Side Story. Of course, long-time fans of the 20-year-old will recall that she got her start on the popular reality TV series, Dance Moms. But the muli-hyphenate creative’s most high-profile gig to date has been her performance in Sia’s music videos. More specifically, her performance of the choreography in the Chandelier music video made Ziegler a household name.

How did Maddie Ziegler end up in Sia’s ‘Chandelier’ music video?

Ziegler was only 11 when Sia tapped her to be in the Chandelier music video. The Aussie was a fan of Dance Moms and found herself moved whenever Ziegler would perform her solo choreography on the show. Thus, she reached out to Ziegler and her mom on Twitter to be in her music video. While Ziegler was excited by the prospect of working on a professional dance job, she didn’t expect anything to come from it.
