Dance Moms' Chloe Lukasiak knows that being on a reality television show certainly has its perks.
Dance Momswasn’t the start to Lukasiak’s career, and it wasn’t the end of it either.
She’s had an entire life outside the show and has enjoyed quite a stunning transformation, as well.
Not only is she technically proficient in dance, but she clearly loves it, too.
And that’s something that’s been true for most of her life.
In fact, Lukasiak has been dancing since she was young.
In an interview withLowcountry Parent,Lukasiak explained how starting dance early really helped develop her love for it.
“At 8 years old, I was doing a solo and it just clicked,” she shared.
Lukasiak is an avid reader, and she has a serious love for getting lost in a book.
Ever since she was young, the blonde starlet has had a strong connection with the books she reads.
“Reading is everything to me.
Reading is where Lukasiak finds the most peace, but shedoeshave a favorite genre.
Lukasiak also explained that the whole family was excited when it came time for her little sister to arrive.
“Fast forward to age 8 when I found out I was going to be a big sister.
Enter Clara Lukasiak, my lil' sis and best friend,” Lukasiak wrote.
Hyland appeared in a 2019 video on Lukasiak’s YouTube channel.
Hyland added that they would probably be friends forever, even if they didn’t talk every day.
And I’d be like, ‘I’ll be there in five minutes,'” she said.
Even though theDance Momscameras stopped rolling for them, Lukasiak and Hyland have remained the best of friends.
Suffice to say, she’s gotten used a certain level of fame as she’s grown up.
In an interview withGlittermagazine, Lukasiak explained the shock she felt after the first season finale ofDance Moms.
“We didn’t think it was me!”
“It didn’t feel like it was a good environment for me to be in anymore.
I don’t regret what I did at all,” she added in her interview withPeople.
It seems as though being a YouTuber is just another thing that Lukasiak is great at.
“I was like, ‘Oh my god, I have to go see them.
Dancing with them is such a big part of my childhood,'” she shared.
“So I visited them at Nationals and it was so amazing.”
But that was then.
Now Lukasiak has become far more independent and is proud of the progress she’s made.
“I’ve found my voice,” Lukasiak toldTeen Voguein a 2017 interview.
“I think I can stick up for myself in a way I never have before.”
“I’ve always been very interested in fashion,” she explained to the magazine.
“I’ve always been the self-proclaimed nerd of the group.
I love reading and writing so this just seemed so natural and so right.”
Dance Moms' Chloe Lukasiak explained that her character in the movie was very different than her.
“She’s a video gamer,” she said.
I went back and picked up my DS and playedSuper Mario."
That’s some grade-A method acting right there!
In a 2019Instagram post, Lukasiak shared a photo of her posing in front of a Pepperdine University sign.
“I’m going for creative writing,” Lukasiak said in thevideo.
“I’m definitely considering switching to marketing, and minor in creative writing,” she added.
“When I was onDance Moms, I wasn’t really confident in myself,” Lukasiak explained.
“I was always beating myself up, really critiquing myself.”
After all, her dance teacher was hard on her, so Lukasiak was hard on herself too.
Words to live by.
