The journey Christi Lukasiak on Dance Moms

Christi Lukasiak and Chloe Lukasiak participated in Dance Moms from the very first season. Chloe was nine when she participated in the show, and was a part of Abby Miller Dance Company since she was two years old.

Christi Lukasiak left the show after season 4, citing Abby's behavior as a problem, and also because Chloe wanted to have more in her repertoire than just Dance Moms.

In an interview with BuzzFeed on May 2, 2024, Christi Lukasiak and Chloe Lukasiak talked about the legendary history of the show, the recent Reunion that happened this year, and how they have evolved after the show. Chloe opened up on leaving the show and said:

"It really truly felt like closing the book on Dance Moms, which was good for me. I needed that closure to move on and kind of leave Chloé from Dance Moms in the past and go forward as my own individual self."

Chloe attended the Reunion hosted by Lifetime, and Christi could not make it because of her prior commitments as she told BuzzFeed. But both agreed that the Reunion felt like closure to them as Chloe got to talk about the things she never did before.

Christi felt bad that she could not be there physically. She said:

"I just wasn't on location. But I was getting the details from all sorts of different people throughout the day, like from various producers, from the kids, from the moms. I very much felt like I was part of it for sure. And it killed me not to be there.
