}}'''Madison Nicole "Maddie" Ziegler''', born on September 30, 2002 to Melissa Gisoni and Kurt Ziegler, is an American dancer, singer, actress, model, and television personality. Maddie rise to fame began at the age of seven when she competed on the popular CBS televised dance competition (judged by famous dancers such as Paula Abdul), ''Live to Dance''. Although her episode never aired due the show's cancellation, there are clips of her performing on the show online. One year later, Maddie had another television opportunity when her mother signed her, as well as her younger sister [[Mackenzie]], onto Lifetime's popular reality television show ''Dance Moms''. The show follows young girls and their mothers across the United States to various dance competitions. In 2012, Maddie was cast for a small role in Lifetime's ''Drop Dead Diva'' as young Deb. In 2013, Ziegler guest-starred on Lifetime's ''Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition'', a televised dance competition judged and hosted by Abby Lee Miller, performing a solo on the show. Maddie hit the ball off right in 2014; no sooner had the year changed than Maddie was co-starring in Mackenzie as Mack Z's music video for her hit single, "''It's a Girl Party''." Maddie's next step was recording and co-starring in the music video for "''Freaks Like Me''," a song sung by [[Payton Ackerman]], [[Nia Frazier]], [[Kendall Vertes]], [[Mackenzie Ziegler|Mack Z]], and Maddie Ziegler, featuring Todrick Hall. Later, popular American singer/songwriter Sia contacted Ziegler via Twitter asking if she was interested in dancing in her music video for "''Chandelier''." Maddie has received much fame from this music video, including getting to participate in MTV's Video Music Awards, Jimmy Kimmel, the Ellen DeGeneres Show, two appearances on the Today Show: Australia, and many more opportunities.

Maddie's mose recent work includes starring in Sia's music video "''Elastic Heart''" alongside actor Shia LaBeouf. The music video has gotten much negative reception, with many critics and viewers claiming that the intimate choreography between the two stars could be viewed as pedophilia. Sia has clarified that she did not intend for it to come across this way, and that Maddie and Shia are both supposed to be portray in werewolves you have been trying to escape the cage enclosure they are trapped in for years. However, both the "''Chandelier''" and "''Elastic Heart''" music videos have made Ziegler into a worldwide dancing phenomenon - a prodigy, even. She even starred in Sia's "''Big Girls Cry''" music video. As of June 2015, the "Chandelier" music video has over 700 million views and is the 16th most viewed YouTube video of all time. Around this time, Maddie performed on the Ellen DeGeneres Show again, as well as Saturday Night Live. Maddie also began working on her acting in 2015, having felt inspired by her emotional work in the Sia videos. She gave a small dance performance in the popular teen drama ''Pretty Little Liars'', which was followed by acting parts in the shows ''Austin and Ally'' and ''Nicky, Ricky, Dicky, and Dawn''.
