Ziegler Girls and Friends

[Frances Nicole Real]

Maddie says she's a scaredy cat. From this clip, it looks like she's not afraid of having adventures. This is from her visit to Australia this past January to celebrate her and Jack's one-year anniversary. Jack's sister did the camera work.

I see they finally updated Maddie's profile on google if you do a google search for Maddie Ziegler her profile on the side of the page shows she is 5'7" it was 5'5" average height for a 15 year old girl is 5'4". Everybody always thinks of Mackenzie as being very short but it shows her at 5'3" which is about average height for her age.

Both of Maddie and Kenzie's half-brothers (their father's sons from a previous marriage) are tall.  This photo is from October 2017.  The Ziegler brothers are in the gray suits on the right.

They both graduated from Pine Rich-land High school the same school the Evancho's went/goes to. I did a search and here is Tyler Ziegler facebook page it has some pictures of Maddie and Mackenzie I haven't seen before.

Once I found Tyler it took me straight to her oldest Brother Ryan, several other relatives of the Ziegler's seems to be active on it also.

Did Kenzie catch the flowers so cute Maddie is behind her and throw her hands up like she can't believe Mackenzie caught the flowers.

Yes, Kenzie caught the bouquet. Looks like a fun wedding reception.

Lots of vids coming back from Maddie and Mackenzie's concert seems like the audience loves Maddie's best friend Charlize.

Inviting Charlize to join them for the Australian tour was a very smart decision.  Maddie and Charlize have so many terrific routines that they've already perfected through their many experiences together assisting choreographer/teacher Brian Friedman at the Radix dance conventions.  Charlize was ready to step off the plane and onto the stage to perform with Maddie without any rehearsals needed.  And of course besides that, the two of them are close best friends who love to have fun together.

They sure love Maddie in AU.

In that clip of Maddie's solo, I noticed that Jack was watching from the edge of the stage. He must feel very proud of her.

Kenzie also drew lots of cheers from the Sydney crowd. It's great to see that she still has her acrobatic moves that she used to do regularly in her solos on Dance Moms. The second video is from three years ago.

Kenzie's introduction of the song she played at the Sydney event ("I Fall Apart" by Post Mallone). She said one of the strings on her ukulele was broken. I hope she can get it fixed before Sunday's event. I think it would be great if she could get a Kiwi ukulele for the tour, especially before they go to Auckland.

Another view of the above from a different angle. The group has completed two days in Sydney and are bonded as a "fam". Monday they'll travel up the east coast to Brisbane for Tuesday's event, then on Wednesday they'll cross the continent to Perth on the west coast for Thursday's event.

I think this is really cool. In preparation for the tour, they created an intro video with clips and photos of Maddie and Mackenzie from past projects, interviews, photoshoots, TV appearances, their own YouTube videos, live streams, and even musical.ly clips - but not a single clip or photo from the Dance Moms show that they were on for six seasons. I guess they wanted to make the point that they've moved on to bigger and better things.



They also created an intro video for Maddie and Charlize, including clips from dance studios and from the Radix dance conventions where they were performers and teachers.
