Early Life and Dance Career

Chloe Lukasiak was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to parents Marc and Christi Lukasiak. She has an older sister named Clara. Chloe‘s parents introduced her to dance classes at age 2, where she practiced ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, and acro. By age 5, she was competing and earning accolades at regional and national dance competitions, including the ‘Best Dancer‘ award at the 2004 YAGP finals.

At age 7, Chloe began training more rigorously at Abby Lee Dance Company under the instruction of Abby Lee Miller. There she honed her technique in styles like contemporary, lyrical, and jazz while continuing to compete. She won titles including Petite Miss Dance MAST, Junior Miss Dance MAST, and National Junior Miss Dance runner-up prior to the show.

Rise to Fame on Dance Moms

In 2010, 8-year-old Chloe was selected as one of the original cast members on Lifetime‘s new reality show Dance Moms.

While navigating the tumultuous environment, Chloe‘s graceful dancing and upbeat personality quickly made her a fan favorite.

Chloe flourished in her early seasons on the show, consistently placing high with solos like "Angel" and "Lucky Star."
