Maddie Ziegler added as Judge on So You Think You Can Dance
Quote:
The Next Generation theme of the upcoming 13th season of So You Think You Can Dance is extending to the judging panel. Thirteen-year-old Dance Moms star Maddie Ziegler is set as a judge on Fox’s SYTYCD: The Next Generation, joining Nigel Lythgoe, Paula Abdul and Jason Derulo. The new installment of SYTYCD, which debuts May 30, will feature dancers between the ages of 8-13 who will be paired with All-Stars.
She's likely the most popular dancer on the planet right now with nearly 2 billion views for her Sia videos, a multitude of highly-viewed television performances, etc.
This is fantastic news for aspiring young artists IMO.
