Interview by Lori Bizzoco. Written by Kayla Garritano.
From the age of two, Chloe Lukasiak knew she wanted to step foot on the dance floor, only to dance her way into fame. She starred in the first four seasons of Dance Moms, but this blonde performer has recently left to further her dance career with her self-titled channel, Chloe on Pointe, on Ownzones.com. Now working on season two, the 15-year-old dancer has much to share in this exclusive celebrity interview with CupidsPulse.com on what’s ahead in the upcoming season, as well as life after leaving Dance Moms.
In our celebrity interview, Chloe Lukasiak opens up about her career and gives some advice for young girls following their dreams.
Lukasiak’s proven that she can handle being on her own. Her channel, which focuses on dance tutorials, also provides fans insider exclusives on her life through vlogs, and even offers beauty DIYs. So it’s no surprise as to why Chloe on Pointe was renewed for a second season with the great content she’s uploaded thus far. When asked why she wanted to create her own show, Lukasiak responded with, “I thought this would be a great way to teach, and give fans a look into the dance life. They can learn with me.” This move to Ownzone has also helped Lukasiak gain new skills, which she appreciates because she’s been exposed to things she’s never tried before. Such as helping choreograph and teach her own dance solo! Being able to create, perform and teach has turned Lukasiak into a triple threat to be reckoned with. You’ll be able to see the solo on her channel within the next couple of weeks. “I’m hoping that people really like it,” she says.

Despite all her success, Lukasiak took a moment to reflect on how her career started. She left Dance Moms after season four, when instructor Abby Lee Miller made negative comments on her appearance and said her routine was a “hot mess.” But instead of crying about it, Lukasiak says she’s doing her own thing now and acknowledged that she hasn’t kept in contact with her former dance teacher. She went on to mention that she still talks to a few of the girls here and there, but everyone has their own lives and busy schedules. “It’s just hard to keep in touch with everyone, since our schedules have taken us different places.” However, she admits to being close with Paige and Brooke Hyland, who were also on the show and left at the beginning of season four. As far as other experiences she had on the show, Lakasiak opens up about how it’s had a lasting effect on her. “I was nine, and I left when I was about thirteen, so I grew up really fast in that environment.” She goes on to say that the show helped her come out of her shell and overcome her shyness. However, it is clear that Lukasiak is staying away from her past as best as possible. In recent weeks, there has been talk about canceling Dance Moms season 7. Responding to the news, she says, “I guess this might be the end of Dance Moms.” She was also unaware of the rumor regarding Kendall Jenner joining the show, which she thinks would be a strange and interesting change.

Now that Lukasiak is occupied with her channel, dance and other exciting events, it’s hard for her to make time for friends and school. When asked how she balances her responsibilities and fun, she responded with, “You have to figure out what’s important and what’s not important. It’s about what you do with your time and how you handle it efficiently.” She mentions that she focuses a lot of time on school, but stresses that it’s important to be social and hang out with your friends. Lukasiak also shares some advice for young girls who are looking to dance competitively: “Do what makes you happy, because at the end of the day, you are your own person. If you’re not happy, then something’s wrong. Remember at the end of the day you’re just getting a trophy,” she jokes.
What can we look forward to seeing from Lukasiak? Aside from a potential Christmas special on her channel, she will appear in two upcoming movies. She’s also been thinking about college and what she will do with her life. “If I had to guess, I’d still dance, but I don’t know if I could study dance.”
