The Rise To Stardom

Melissa Gosoni had no connection with show business till she was persuaded to participate in the reality show ‘Dance Moms’ with her two daughters. They were the original cast members of the show when it was called ‘Just Dance’. In fact, Melissa was not even aware that what she had joined was a reality show that would be aired on television. Later, the show was morphed to become ‘Dance Moms’, with Abby Miller entering the scene.
Maddie and Mackenzie studied dance at Miller’s studio through Reign Dance Productions from the early ages of four and two respectively. They went on to participate in six seasons of ‘Dance Moms’ with their mother from 2011 to 2016. The show followed the progress of the children and the reactions of their mothers during various dance competitions.
Melissa Gisoni gained popularity as an understanding mother and has often been called a ‘second mom’ by children at Abby’s studio that teaches young dancers. Although Abby’s studio and ‘Dance Moms’ were a launch pad for Melissa and her daughters, they exited from the show after six seasons as it became too repetitive and prevented the children from pursuing other opportunities. The schedule of dancing six days a week was also getting too taxing on the girls, who wanted a change and some variety in life.
In order to fill in the void after leaving ‘Dance Moms’ and Abby’s studio, Melissa started a dance studio in her house and employed a dance instructor to continue with the dance classes of the girls. It was her perseverance and motivation that turned both her daughters into celebrities at a very tender age.

Melissa also appeared in the music videos of Todrick Hall, titled ‘Freak Like Me’ and ‘Ease on Down the Boulevard’ and acted in the TV series ‘Famewhore’. However, bringing up her celebrity children was her biggest challenge. Today, both her girls are established models and actors and have several endorsements to their credit. They have appeared in a number of music videos and television serials. Both girls have a large following on social media. Despite all this, Melissa has taught them to remain humble, respectful and to value basis etiquette. Her efforts seem to have paid as both her daughters are rising stars, with their feet very much still firmly on the ground.
