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 starred in the show for six seasons. 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 had been in many solos including her first one aired on ''Dance Moms'' entitled Mouse Trap, but didn't place.

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''.
