‘Dance Moms’ Star Maddie Ziegler Inspires Self-Expression in New Capezio Campaign [Video]
Maddie Ziegler's star continues to rise with each passing day. Following her success in "Dance Moms," the young dancer is showing just how much she stands out in a newly released video for Capezio's latest #DanceInYou campaign.
According to a report from People, the 13-year-old star stole the show in the three-minute video as she joined a group of pink-clad ballerinas for barre exercises wearing Capezio's black and blue dance apparel.
A few seconds into the video, Ziegler captured the spotlight even further by breaking away from the crowd and showing off her moves in a free-form number. One by one, the rest of the ballerinas joined her in the middle of the dance floor for their own take on self-expression in a total celebration of their art.
It's a video that doesn't just showcase Capezio's dance attire, but also highlights Ziegler's talent and star power.
"Self-expression in dance has always been so important to me, so I fell in love with the concept of this film," she told Huffington Post. "Hopefully it will remind young dancers everywhere that expressing yourself can be empowering, contagious and fun."
Ziegler earned a name for herself in the Lifetime hit reality show "Dance Moms," where the young star remains a long-time favorite of the viewers and coach alike. However, recent reports reveal that the dancer is planning to leave the series that launched her career so she can pursue opportunities in acting and modelling.
According to a report from ET Online, a source revealed that Ziegler, her mother Melissa Gisoni and her younger sister Mackenzie will be exiting "Dance Moms" after the ongoing Season 6. Gisoni reportedly made the announcement to the cast during taping the previous week.
Fans of Ziegler can rest assured that they will still be able to see their idol on the screen as she's set to star in "Sister," a film that's directed by her friend and collaborator Sia. A report from TMZ also revealed that the young dancer also joined the cast of "The Book of Henry" alongside certified superstars Naomi Watts, Sarah Silverman, Bobby Moynihan and Jacob Tremblay.
In a previous report from ET Online, Ziegler has admitted her desire to explore her other talents beyond dancing. Although she's thankful to "Dance Moms," she is eager to expand her horizons.
"I definitely want to be moving more into acting. Still keeping up my dancing, but also movies and scripted TV shows," Ziegler said.
