Top Ten Best Kid Dancers and Gymnasts

The Top Ten
1 Maddie Ziegler Madison Nicole Ziegler is an American dancer, actress, author and model. She was initially known for appearing in Lifetime's reality show Dance Moms from 2011 until 2016.

Why is everybody saying that I think this person is better than Maddie or this person is? Maddie is a truly amazing dancer. Yes there are other dancers that maybe better than Maddie in certain things however Maddie is a beautiful girl and dancer. Why else would Sia have asked her to dance in music videos..? Overall I think that Maddie is an amazing dancer and there might be other kids that can do certain things Maddie can't but she is truly remarkable. She's only 13/14, she probably never thought that she would become famous and become one of the best dancers. So just relax guys.

I love Maddie. Most people say that Chloe is better or just as good at Maddie, but it's really no comparison. Whiles Chloe is more elegant and a better ballerina, Maddie is more flexible, has better technique, and is better at connecting with the audience while she dances. She has also had a very sucessfull career. She has been in Lux's "it's like summer" Brooke Hyland's "summer love song", Alex Caisse's "Cry", Todick Halls "freaks like me" and has been in most of Sia's videos while also starring on Dance moms. She has won two national titles and won second at two other national competitions.

Goo Maddie! You're Awesome!

2 Sophia Lucia

Ok we all have our own opinions someone may think maddie is better then Sophia or Sophia is better than maddie. We don't have to get defensive. We just have to know is that these two are both great dancers and that's all that matters. Now I have a favorite and I like maddie not because she's on dance moms its because she lights up the room when she dances to me and I'm going to let everyone have their own opinion.

You are saying that sophia should be on top of this list because she is a better dancer than maddie. And you are saying that Maddie is a performer.
***
But to dance is to perform. the point of dancing is to let out your emotion. dance with your heart, not your mind.
***
Sophia may have better technique then Maddie, but Maddie outperforms everyone in expression. That is why she is at the top of this list- because she actually dances.

I have absolutely NO IDEA how Maddie is above Sophia. Just because Maddie is the star of dance moms does not mean that she is better than Sophia. For those people who voted for Maddie, please please please watch Sophia's dances. She is truly an amazing dancer with baby flexibility and unbelievable technique. "Best dancers" is about ability and talent, not about facial expressions. Sophia's abilities far outreach those of Maddie's. Sophia is a dancer and Maddie is a performer- that is it. I am not hating on Maddie, do NOT get me wrong, because I do feel that Maddie is a great dancer. But Sophia really truly is one of a kind and she is the most talented dancer I have ever seen. Her posture is also AMAZING

LOVE FOR SOPHIA

3 Mackenzie Ziegler Mackenzie Ziegler is an American dancer, singer, actress and model. She is the younger sister of dancer and actress Maddie Ziegler and is best known for appearing for six years on Lifetime's reality dance show Dance Moms.

Mackenzie is a very young dancer. At that age I find she has Mackenzie is her own little self with her own little talents. In my opinion she is a better actress and singer than Maddie and she has the potential to be a better dancer than Maddie. If she stops giving in to pressure and just decides to be free on the stage she will make it. I think Melissa keeps throwing Mackenzie under the bus to better Maddie that's why Mackenzie will never improve but Mackenzie has a natural talent that needs to be stepped up. Keep doing what yot of talent. Many people including her mother always tell her to be like Maddie but she is not Maddie. Keep doing Mackenzie, you're a sassy and beautiful little girl. You need to get the credit you deserve. XOXO

Mackenzie is a great dancer, singer, model and actress! I have no idea why people don't think she deserves this spot, because I think she does. Mackenzie is a beautiful girl and a great dancer she is awesome! Mackenzie, you are amazing! I love you!

4 Chloe Lukasiak Chloe Elizabeth Lukasiak is an American dancer, television personality, actress and model. She is best known for being an original cast member of Lifetime's reality television series Dance Moms during Season 1 through Season 4. She then came back to Dance Moms in Season 7.

Chloe kept dancing her heart out regardless of what others said to her or about her. she cried real tears and went through real pain. Chloe should be #1 because Maddie never has to go through anything. The tears she sheds are fake and she has no emotion. Maddie claims that she is Chloe's friend but real friends stand up for each other. Although Maddie appears to be all that and so beautiful, Chloe is beautiful inside and out. Chloe this message is for you. Don't let other people tell you who to be. Only be the one and only you cause if you are trying to be like Maddie then there will be two of her and none of you. Be original. Keep trying your hardest and keep being the one and only, super-talented, amazing dancer, Chloe Lukasiak. Love, Anonymous!

Chloe is truly amazing. She has more emotion and passion in her dancing than anyone else I have seen. Especially Maddie. She can really tell the story with not only her movement but her emotion. She really knows how to embody a character and portray it beautifully. I can't say the same as Maddie. Maddie is a performer with the same facial expression that she has had since forever. On stage, you can see Chloe's face change as she goes from one emotion to the other. I hope that passion that she has never dies, because losing her would be a tragic death to the dance world.

5 Kaycee Rice

Kaycee is something truly special. She has all the elements of a great dancer: technique, flexibility,expression and musicality. The people who have only seen her hip hop videos have no idea the range she has. Her musicality is amazing and connection with her audience. She knows when to be restrained and when to make her movements bigger. She also uses the whole floor in her solos and not many dancers do that anymore. It also takes a lot of talent to be able to read and interact with your partner. She partners so well with different dancers. She gives it all ever single time and consistently shows growth. She also has something that just can't be taught and you can see how the other students and teachers react to her that she is something truly special.

Kaycee is the real deal. Her body control in all styles of dance surpasses those well above her age. She is always humble, dedicated to using her young fame as a way to encourage her followers and fans to be true to themselves and all be kind to everyone. She puts 110% into every class and to every performance with both her physicality and emotional projections. She can collaborate beautifully with all choreographers and dance partners while putting a little of her own unique flare into each performance. Let go #team_weirdo!

6 Jojo Siwa Joelle Joni Siwa, also known as Jojo Siwa is an American dancer, singer, actress, and YouTuber. She joined the masked singer in 2020.

I hate her and I hate the fact that all of you like her. Have you seen her on dance moms? That kid is the rudest brat and Abby has every right to hate her. She took over nickelodeon and Toyota, her bows are ugly and her songs are auto tuned crap. She's a bleached Barbie and she receives to much praise. Go to school Jojo and get a life, weirdo

To everyone that hates Jojo siwa, I get it I hated her too, but then I saw her on everything else, she obviously just wants to live life to her fullest potential. And to all of you jerks saying she's horrible that just how she was raised and if not there is definitely a story behind it. GIVE THE KID A BREAK! and to the comment about 3 comments down, you're just jealous.

Please I am begging with all of my heart not to hate JoJo. She is amazing. Continue being you girl! JoJo is a super pretty and nice person. I don't like it when people say I don't like JoJo and her fans. Ummm...All of the dance mom girls are fans. Maddie, Mackenzie, Nia, Kalani,Kendell. JoJo is homeschooled FYI!

7 Kalani Hilliker

I think Kalani should be in the top three, she is awesome in many ways, consisting of her impeccable flexibility, her unbeatable technique, her convincing performance and facials and finally, she is extremely talented.
She is skillful in all types of dances, and makes her dances seem so real, she is spectacular at acro, mainly contortion, and has proven to be a great leader.
Honestly, I love all the girls on dance moms, but I have to say, Kalani is really special and unique, not saying that all the girls aren't unique but Kalani really has talent in performing on stage.
She is a great leader on dance moms and is also very nice and encouraging. She is my idol for literally everything associated with dance.
She makes everything feel so easy, and it seems like she finds learning new tricks simple.
Okay, forget what I said at the beginning, I think she deserves to be first on the top ten dancers.
Maddie is great at her facials, Chloe is skillful in ballet, Nia is really dedicated towards the dance mom group, Mackenzie is inevitable when it comes to acro, Brynn is definitely the lyrical dancer, Kendall is great at jazz solos. I love every single person, it's just Kalani shines in all of the above listed.
Maybe look at Kalani more, and you realize how talented she truly is and how she is a fantastic dancer.
I really love Kalani!

8 Annie Bratayley

Why is Jojo Siwa above Annie? Annie is beautiful, I love her, she's not at all annoying, and she's amazing at dancing and gymnastics! She also doesn't even need makeup to look gorgeous. Hayden and Annie (Hannie) are the perfect couple, and I can't wait to see how they turn out! GO ANNIE! (by the way, her real name is Julianna Grace LeBlanc, her nickname is Annie)

Annie (who isn't is gymnastics anymore) was a very talented gymnast. But the only reason that people say that she is the best gymnast in the world and stuff like that is because she has a popular YouTube channel. There are plenty of gymnasts her age that are better. Still, she is very good.

I love her, but her gymnastics tricks are not good. Everyone says they love her because they love the family. And I do love the family too. But that doesn't mean that Annie is an amazing gymnast. There are many better kids out there.

9 Brynn Rumfallo

I'm just going to say it. I think Brynn should be above Chloe, Maddie, Jojo, and Mackenzie on this. I love all of them from dance moms, but honestly, Brynn is just simply beautiful when she dances. I honestly think this list is a bit inaccurate. Brynn shows a lot of emotion through her body, but also has exquisite facial expressions. Her technique is also absolutely amazing. I absolutely love Maddie as the person, but Brynn is just a better dancer. The other 3 girls are also amazing, but just not really up to Brynn or Kalani's level.

She has flawless technique. She also has beautiful movement and poetry when she is dancing.I think her choreography that she is given is not challenging her enough. So we it makes her look like...well not as of good dancer she really is. I honestly think Kalani and Brynn should definitely be in the top 2.

Brynn is so beautiful, much more then the other dance moms girls. She is such a sweet and adorable girl as well as an awesome dancer!

10 Nia Fraizer

She's not only a good dancer, but she has a positive attitude. I didn't see that girl cry once on dance moms until her grandfather was like dying... Every single other child on that show has thrown a tantrum of some sorts..

She doesn't have the greatest technique or flexibility but she's determined and has heart of a angle.

She has improved the most in the young dance world and focuses on her personal best.

Nia Frazier is AMAZING! She is absolutely talented and despite of what she has gone through she nails every dance and has always been a strong and coinfedent girl

The Contenders
11 Autumn Miller

Seriously? Like come on! Autumn should be in the top 5, higher than Maddie to be honest.

Autumn has the passion and the dedication of a great dancer. She truly does eat sleep and breathe dance

Sophia and Autumn should be at the top of this list. The dance moms girls don't even compare to them

12 Sean Lew

Watch Sean and then watch everyone else. Sean is so young and his choreos have more effect on people than the choreos made by people double his age. He is so clean and he is honestly a different person while dancing. Sean is incredible

Why doesn't he have any comments? He is truly talented, making every dance move to his own and is super captivating. trust me, watch some videos of him and you will be obsessed!

Yeah I am a Filipino and saying that I am fan of him I stan him cause he was really had a passion on dancing especially when he was collaborating with kaycee rice ohh snappp it felts like they owning the crowd.

13 Kendal Vertes

Shes a really pretty girl Abby thinks shes a bad dancer but she isn't she is my favourite. She's the best dancer I have known but the good thing is she never gives up even if she crys some times she has won 1st, 2nd and 3rd she is full of talent and mostly the styles of her dancers she's done are jazz lyrical and sometimes contemporary. She's Maddie Zieglers best friend and is on the Reality show DAnce MomS.

I think that Kendall is he most beautiful dancer she moves fluently and can do every style of dance just as Maddie can. I also think that Kendall doesn't get the attention that she deserves she has her first song out and works her hardest in rehearsal. When I look on the internet I always see people say on the internet that people say that she always cry's and that she's a cry baby but she's really not because Abby is mean to the girls and does make them cry.

Honestly Kendall just...looks sloppy now like she lost her passion for dance. She doesn't even look like she's even trying. Don't get me wrong she's a great dancer but I don't think she deserves to be in the top 10.

14 Briar Nolet

She is phenomenal and is probably one of the more stronger dancers compared to others on this list. Her technique if on pointe, o=her flexibility is unreal and when she dances its entertaining and graceful. If you don't believe me watch her "Dangerous" solo.

If you have never heard of her watch the next step. Her flexibility and technique is insane! she is always and I mean ALWAYS on point.

I love briar she's one of the best dancers on the next step T.V. show!

15 Asia Ray Monet

Asia has the best dancing skills. She always puts her best effort into each performance. Not only is she good at dance, but singing and acting too. Asia Monet Ray has been in World of Dance, Dance Moms, and AUDC. She has the right attitude, flexibility, and hype. Why is Asia 15th? She is the best! I love her. I can never say enough. Asia is a true child prodigy.

Asia is an amazing dancer wayy better than jojo, vivi anne and definitely mackenzie. bloody hell shes beaten Mackenzie so much the only people better than her are Maddie and Kalani. She was the best junior dancer and I love her personality. shes so good she beat Giana, Jojo and Trinity in a battle but I feel she should have beat Mckelie as well but Abby just had to have two juniors face off. she's my third favourite from dance moms and third best duhh

Don't tell me wrong when I watch Asia dance she has power and she's very sassy now I'm a dancer but I wouldn't be happy to go against her ps. Great dancer

16 Tate Mcrae

I think Tate is amazing!
Her control, her technique, her legs, her flexibility, her emotion when dancing, everything about her is unbelievable.
Right now she is on SYTYCD season 13, the next generation. She is on top 6 and nearly 5000 dancers auditioned for the show. Isn't it impressive? (Even Sophia Lucia didn't make it to top 10) On the show, the next generation kids are paired up with a SYTYCD all star. Tate was paired up with Kathryn, a beautiful contemporary pro. When Tate performed a contemporary duet with Kathryn, the judge Jason Derulo commented that he couldn't tell who was the pro and who was the next generation. This doesn't mean that Kathryn was not good, Kathryn was amazing. Tate was too good, she even looked like a pro. On the show, Tate is proving that she is an amazing contemporary dancer, but not only that, Tate is showing that she can do other styles besides contemporary.
Also, Tate has beaten Maddie several times on dance competitions. At the 2015 dance awards New York, Tate was first place and Maddie was 4th. This also proves how Tate is amazing, and that she is head and shoulders above the other kid dancers.
Tate is also a great singer and a actress too. You should see the videos on her youtube channel. She is seriously good. Like she could be on a broadway show tommorow!

17 Paige Hyland

If Paige was given lyrical or contemporary solos I think she would have done better on dance moms. Her emotion is better than Chloe's and she knows how to entertain. Her feet were a bit sloppy and she wasn't very confident, but other than that she's AMAZING!

I honestly thought Paige was better than Chloe. Chloe's technique was better, but Paige was more flexible, better at tumbling, had better facials, and was more entertaining. I'm glad she got away from Abby.
PAIGE IS AWESOME!

Did you know that Paige was Maddies biggest competition before Dance Moms started.

18 Jade Chynoweth

Jade is my favorite dancer. It's incredible how she manipulate and move her body, I love her passion and her Energy, really worth to see her... you will not regret it, she's AMAZING without exaggerating...and her body these abs is fire

She's so underrated people need to watch her videos because she's so good at dancing and she's so energetic and can do a lot of dance styles.

Jade needs to be number one because she has so much power, energy, and technique. She mostly dances hip hop, but it a well rounded dancer!

19 Brooke Hyland

Brooke's great, but she needs to work on her technique and emotion. Her flexibility and tumbling, however are perfect.

The way brooke moves to the music puts me in awe. She's so talented and has earned her place on the chart!

I love Brooke. I always try to do her moves, but I can't bend like her. Too bad she left Dance moms a few years ago

20 Kida Burns

Kida deserves every good thing that come his way. He's very talented and such a nice and humble kid. Nowadays, talented hip-hop kid dancers tend to get looked over because of popular dance shows like dance moms that attract many young viewers and are mainly just contemporary, but Kida puts in just as much work and has proved himself to be an amazing and very versatile dancer. Love this kid!

Kida is the most talented dancer I know, kida deserved to win sytycd I don't care what anyone says he's the best, he has the skills to perform well in every style in dance.

His movements are unbelievable. He is amazing! And he can do other styles. Very rare for a hip hop dancer. A true talent. (Commenting from Japan)

21 Lilliana Ketchman

Lily is a great dancer and has great acro skills as well. She has great expressions and flexibility to. She is phenomenal for her age

She is a great ballet dancer and her feet and lines are amazing. Her control is also off the charts

Very good dancer, young and still learning but truly amazing!

22 Errifly

Never heard of her

No clue who she is

23 Jordyn Jones

Jordyn jones is an amazing dancer, I'm a professional dancer. Jordan takes her moves and adds a special flair and performs "100%" she is an extremely natural hip hop artist, yet her technique is on fleek. jordyn's strong laid-back and cool vibes is my favorite part of her, she is definitely special!

Jordyn is a great dancer and is great at attacking her moves hard, she sometimes gives her moves her own unique flair!

Jordyn isn't the strongest dancer, the Choreography she's given is pretty bad.

24 Paulina Macias

Paulina Macias is a Canadian dancer in Vaughan Maple Ontario Canada she has one many awards her dance studio is Dance Zone

25 Bailey Sok

She is more best in hip hop dance, when the choreography and music is sexy, her facial expression and how she dance is so sassy, and when the choreo and the music is more of a boyish one, she dances up like a gangster and it totally looks wonderful on her. If ever Bailey reads this, please tie up your hair.

Bailey is such an incredible dancer! She's so talented and can move her body in ways you never thought possible. She's so good at what she does and she's SO UNDERRATED!
