Early life

Lukasiak was born on May 25, 2001 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania[3] to Christi and Marc Lukasiak.[4] She is the older sister of Clara Lukasiak.[5] The family resides in Mars, Pennsylvania.[6]

Lukasiak began dance classes at the Abby Lee Dance Company at age two.[6] At first, she did "the basics" such as jazz and ballet. But as she got older she started to do more styles and has trained in everything except ballroom.[7] From the ages of five to thirteen, Lukasiak competed throughout the United States as part of ALDC, winning numerous titles at the regional, state, and national levels.[8] Lukasiak competed on Dance Moms in many dance genres: lyrical, contemporary,[6] musical theatre, ballet, jazz, hip-hop, acro, Spanish, and Bollywood.

Career

2011–14: Dance Moms

In 2011, Lukasiak and her mother, alongside Abby Lee Dance Company owner Abby Lee Miller, other young dancers, and their mothers, were cast on Lifetime's Dance Moms. Together they made up Miller's Junior Elite Competition Team.

After the Los Angeles national competition in July 2014 (filmed for an episode aired October 7, 2014), Lukasiak's mother decided that the environment of the TV show along with her own negative relationship with Miller was detrimental to her daughter and they decided to leave ALDC.[9] The finale episode of Season 4 was their last appearance on Dance Moms because of Miller being unappreciative about the fact that Chloe was the highest scoring ALDC soloist at Nationals, beating Kendall and Kamryn.[10][lower-alpha 1] After the end of Season 4, Lukasiak left ALDC for good and switched to Studio 19 Dance Complex.[12]

2014–present: Post-Dance Moms career

After leaving "Dance Moms", Lukasiak became active on her YouTube channel, gaining over 100 million views and over 1 million subscribers as of May 2016.[13] On September 17, 2016, Lukasiak started a vlogging YouTube channel.[14]

Lukasiak's competition team from Studio 19 went on to win nationals in July 2015.[15] She won "Choice Dancer" at the 2015 Teen Choice Awards[16] and the "Dancers Choice Award" for "Favorite Dancer 17 & Under" at the 2015 Industry Dance Awards.[17] She was nominated for a Shorty Award but lost to Misty Copeland.[18] She was once again nominated for the 2016 & 2017 Teen Choice Awards "Choice Dancer" but lost to former "Dance Moms" cast member Maddie Ziegler.[19]

Lukasiak became a spokesmodel for Just For Kix, an American dancewear company, in October 2014. With the company's partnership, she created an anti-bullying campaign called #NobodyisYOU. She was featured in several music videos relating to the cause alongside dancers such as Averee Jade.[20][21]

Lukasiak has appeared in numerous music videos, as during the filming of Dance Moms she appeared in videos for artists Brooke Hyland[22] and LUX (daughter of actor Ted Danson).[23] In 2015, she appeared as the lead for Jess Godwin's song "Fool Me Once".[24] Solveig Romero's "Turn It Up"[25] and Bianca Ryan's "Alice",[26] as well as "Wrapped Up For Christmas" by Forever in Your Mind and a promotional dance video for JustForKix dancewear (titled "Lovely"). In 2016, Lukasiak appeared in AJ Lehrman's music video for his new single "Tongue",[27] and an Ali J video for "Piece By Piece," which was featured on CNN.

Lukasiak began modeling for such fashion lines as Glitzy Girl and Sally Miller in 2012.[6] After leaving Dance Moms, she modeled for 90 Degrees by Reflex, Goodhyouman, Boy Meets Girl, and BCBG Max Azria (runway). In 2016, Lukasiak became the new face of StyleHaul.[28]

Lukasiak was cast as Gwen Murphy in the Lifetime TV movie Center Stage: On Pointe.[29] She was later cast as Savannah Stocker in Cowgirl's Story alongside former Bridge to Terabithia star Bailee Madison.[30] In 2016, Lukasiak partnered with Ownzones.com to launch her web series called Chloe on Pointe.[31] In 2016, Lukasiak partnered with Playtex Sport[32] and starred in their "Ready, Set, Play On!" campaign commercial.[33]

On January 27, 2017, Chloe Lukasiak announced that she would return to guest star on Dance Moms for the Season 7 finale and Season 7B, first joining Murrieta Dance Project, but then left to form The Irreplaceables with Nia Sioux, Kendall Vertes, Kalani Hilliker, and Camryn Bridges.[34][35] On April 11, 2017 Lukasiak announced that her book Girl on Pointe: Chloe's Guide to Taking On The World was released on January 23, 2018.[36] Lukasiak signed with LifeTime in April 2017 to star in her own web series called "Chloe Does It".[37]

In December 2017, Lukasiak began touring with Kalani Hilliker and Kendall Vertes on The Irreplaceables Tour.[38] Camryn Bridges did not join The Irreplaceables on tour. Nia Frazier wasn't able to go on tour with The Irreplaceables due to family reasons.[39]

In an interview released on June 15, 2016, Lukasiak said she was grateful to Dance Moms because it showed her how much she loves acting and that she has a passion for it.[46] In 2015, Lukasiak was diagnosed with silent sinus syndrome, and had surgery to correct the condition. In 2018, Lukasiak teamed up with Girls' Life to launch Chloe's Book Club.[47] In 2019 Chloe was accepted into Pepperdine University.[48]
