The topic of this page has a Wikia of its own: Mackenzie Ziegler Wikia.

Mackenzie Frances Ziegler, born to Melissa Gisoni and Kurt Ziegler on June 4, 2004, is a dancer on Lifetime's reality television series Dance Moms, as well as a new up and coming popstar.

At the young age of 2, Gisoni enrolled Mackenzie in dance classes at Reign Dance Productions, where her sister Maddie already danced. Later, she became a member of the Abby Lee Dance Company. In 2011, the Zieglers were signed onto Dance Moms and have starred in it since.

In early 2014, it was announced that Mackenzie would be recording her first studio album under the stage name Mack Z, as well as filming a music video for her very first single, "It's a Girl Party." The music video was premiered on the Dance Moms: Girl Talk Reunion episode. Ziegler shot another music video for her song "Shine," in which Maddie played herself. The video showed Mackenzie's feelings of always being compared to her sister and wanting to be as talented as her. In November, Mack Z released a single entitled "Christmas All Year Long," as well as a music video for the song. The video was popular enough to reach the Billboard Top 100. Mackenzie later interviewed and performed for Billboard, along with Maddie. Mackenzie and her Dance Moms costars were supposed to star in kid rapper Matty B's music video "Turn Up the Track," and Mackenzie was supposed to be a featured singer. But due to Melissa's failure to fully read the contract with Matty B's manager, Mackenzie and a few of her friends were cut from the video. This conflict was shown in season 5 of Dance Moms.

In April 2015, Mackenzie announced via her social media and website that her fans had the chance to send in their own fanmade music videos. She would pick her favorites to go in her music video for "I Gotta Dance."

Mackenzie is a well-rounded performer. She acts, sings, dances, and models. To make time for all this, she began the 2013-2014 school year by being homeschooled with Maddie for the first time.

Mackenzie was recently nominated for a Teen Choice award for #ChoiceMuser.

Fun Facts

Mackenzie's seasonal solos at the ALDC have been Let Me Entertain You (2010), Mouse Trap (2011), Daisy Chains (2012), Boys Like You (2013), Red (2014), Out of My Mind (2014), Take That (2015), and Hero (2016).
Mackenzie's seasonal duets at the ALDC have been Abba Dabba Honeymoon (2012), Together Wherever We Go (2013), Big Finish (2014), Bombshell (2015), and The Little Girl Who Lived Down the Lane (2015).
Mackenzie's favorite styles of dance are acro, jazz, and contemporary.
Her best friend is Brooke Kosinski.
Her rival in season 3 was Asia Monet Ray, and Tea' Adamson and Sarah Hunt in season 4, but her biggest rival has always been her sister, Maddie.
Mackenzie is often compared to Maddie by Abby, fans, friends, and family. Mackenzie doesn't like being compared to her sister because she feels like they are two different dancers with different styles and different strengths.
Mackenzie has guest starred in an episode of Nickelodeon's Nicky, Ricky, Dicky, and Dawn.
