Maddie Ziegler Wins Choice Dancer After Reuniting With Chloe Lukasiak At TCAs

The 2017 Teen Choice Awards brought “Dance Moms” stars both past and present to the Galen Center in Los Angeles.

Ahead of her small screen return, Chloe Lukasiak rocked the blue carpet at the TCAs Sunday night. The “Dance Moms” Season 7 returnee, who was nominated at the Fox award show for choice dancer, was photographed alongside her mom and co-star Christi Lukasiak on the carpet.

Chloe was photographed wearing a pale pink and black ensemble adorned with flowers and a peacock. She topped off her look with a ponytail, red eyeshadow and red pumps to match. Christi went for a more simple look, a white dress with red shoes like her daughter.

Maddie Ziegler, Chloe’s former “Dance Moms” teammate and fellow choice dancer nominee, also stunned on the carpet. Maddie sported a two-piece red and black ensemble. She topped off her look with black heels, dark nails and sleek, straight hair. While she wasn’t photographed with her mom Melissa Gisoni on the carpet, she did take a photo with her friend, actress Millie Bobby Brown.

During the show, Maddie and Chloe were spotted posing with a photo together ahead of the choice dancer winner announcement.

It was later revealed onstage that Maddie won for choice dancer, her second time winning the award since its creation in 2015.

“Thank you so much. First off, I can’t believe this is my second choice dance award. It’s the most surreal thing,” Maddie told the crowd after securing her surfboard award.

“I just want to say thank you guys so much for getting me to where I am today because I am just a girl from Pittsburgh and I would not be here getting to share my passion with you and doing all these amazing things without you guys. This is dedicated to you.”

Other choice nominees in the category included “Dancing With the Stars” judge Julianne Hough, “DWTS” professional Derek Hough, Kida The Great and tWith.

With “Dance Moms” nominated in the choice reality TV show category, there were, of course, other Lifetime personalities on the blue carpet. Nia Sioux was photographed sporting an intricate updo with a blue ensemble. Nia’s longtime teammate Kendall Vertes was accompanied by her mother, Jill Vertes. Kendall wore a red pantsuit while Jill sported an equally bright yellow dress.

And while former “Dance Moms” coach Abby Lee Miller wasn’t able to make an appearance due to her current prison sentence, her co-choreographer did show up on her behalf. Gianna Martello was photographed on the carpet in flowy red dress and turquoise heels.

Chloe’s appearance at the TCAs comes two days before her anticipated “Dance Moms” return. Afters several seasons off of Abby’s ALDC team, she’ll make a comeback in Season 7, episode 17. “Out With Abby, In With Chloe” will see Chloe join the ALDC’s rival team, The Murrieta Dance Project, for the weekly competition.
