Ziegler Girls and Friends

[Frances Nicole Real]

This is a very nice and interesting video posted today by choreographer Kyle Hanagami.
The entire video is very cool, but beginning at 2:38 is a segment that is especially interesting because it's with Maddie and Charlize. Kyle choreographed the duo dance that Maddie and Charlize performed on the Ziegler UK tour in January.
The first part of the video has some beautiful views from Malibu, and the final segment is about choreographing and rehearsing a Disney special hosted by Jordan Fisher and Sarah Hyland.

Maddie has made it home from Chicago. She and Cameron and Maisy are making a YouTube video tonight.
This afternoon, Kailand, Cameron, Kenzie and Maisy went to a flea market. Kailand drove, and they put the top down.

KFZ MNZ has posted an eighteen-minute video, including some posts from today.

Impulse has uploaded a longer version (almost 2 minutes) of the promo video for Maddie and Kenzie's new body sprays.

Impulse has also uploaded two very short versions - one for Maddie's body spray and one for Kenzie's body spray.

The body sprays are for the Australia/New Zealand market only. I wonder if these videos will be used for television spots there.

This is a big week for Maddie's BFF Charlize Glass.
Charlize was in Atlanta over the weekend, assisting Brian Friedman at the Radix Dance Convention.
Today, Charlize and her dance partner Julian DeGuzman will be on the Ellen Show, to promote NBC's World of Dance. The new season of WOD premieres Tuesday night, and Charlize and Julian will be among this season's competitors.

Their performance for the Ellen Show has been prerecorded. The clip is available on the Ellen Show website. You might have to click on the link in the list that appears on the right side of the page.

Charlize has been on the Ellen Show at least twice before. She and others from the "Feel It Still" video danced when Portugal the Man performed the song on the show in September 2017.
Charlize first appeared on the show at the age of ten, in February 2012. This is a video a fan recorded with an iPhone (quality not great). In the comments, someone mentioned that Charlize had danced at a dance convention all weekend just before this appearance.

There's an interview with Sia out today on Elle.com.
www.elle.com/fashion/a26498848/sia-repetto-shoe-collection-interview/

It's because of the Repetto by Sia shoes that came out today, but of course, she talked about Maddie, and shared some information about the movie, "Music". Big news - Maddie sings in it.

Excerpts:

Maddie [Ziegler] is my little honey pie, avatar, surrogate daughter, and she's a dancer. I've come across them more because they really are dancing shoes. And since then I've actually developed an appreciation for how comfortable they are. So it seems like the right collaboration for me, because I have tried to return contemporary dance to the mainstream. I think I wear maybe five different types of shoes, that's it, and they are one of them.

[Talking about what to do when it's time for Sia to make appearances to promote the movie].
Maddie, my little queen, was over. We were watching RuPaul's Drag Race. She loves drag makeup and she's about to have a makeup line come out. So I was like, "I wish I could have Valentina's eyes." And she was like, "We could do that. We could probably glue down your eyebrows." And I was like, "Can we practice and see if we could make it look normal but crazy enough that I don't look so much like myself that I wouldn't get recognized?" So we're gonna see what we can do about that.

All I can really say right now is that it's a movie about a sober drug dealer played by Kate Hudson. She shaved her head for that role, that's why you saw her with a shaved head for a couple of months. She plays a sober drug dealer who becomes responsible for her severely autistic teenage sister. And the musical takes place inside the mind of this sister, who is played by Maddie.

They all sing. Leslie Odom Jr. plays Kate's love interest. Kate sings, Maddie sings, Leslie Odom Jr. sings. I'm very proud of it. I was very scared that it wasn't going to be exceptional, and I had a lot of shame. What if I can't make it exceptional? And now I'm realizing it's starting to become the movie that I set out to make, so I'm really proud of it.
