Brooke Kosinski
Brooke Morgan Kosinski (born on February 26, 2004) is a dancer at Dance Mechanics. She lives in Pennsylvania with her parents and her brother, Noah. She has been dancing since the age of 2 and became best friends with Mackenzie Ziegler almost immediately after she began dancing with her. Brooke and her mother, Hollie, were offered a spot on the Abby Lee Dance Company's junior elite competition team that would be featured of Lifetime's reality television series Dance Moms every week, but Hollie turned down the offer due to privacy issues and concerns.

Brooke's first television debut was a cameo appearance on an episode of season 1 of Dance Moms, and she has been seen on the show during short clips ever since. She was a background dancer along with several other members of the Abby Lee Dance Company in Mack Z's music video for "It's a Girl Party," which, upon its release date, reached the top of the pop charts in a matter of hours. Both the song and its respective video rose up the charts above Beyoncé, Pharell, John Legend, and other influential artists.
On July 24, 2016, rumors sparked that Brooke had transferred dance studios after she posted a photo to Instagram showing herself and choreographer Alexa Moffett dancing in a studio strongly resembling that of Dance Mechanics. It was confirmed a few months later that Brooke had indeed switched studios after she competed at NUVO Dance Convention under Dance Mechanics.
In 2017, Brooke began modeling for Sally Miller Couture.
