Nia Sioux is Leaving 'Dance Moms'

Nia Sioux has confirmed that she is leaving Dance Moms.

“It’s crazy to see how far it’s come and how much I’ve been through,” the 16-year-old singer and dancer told Teen Vogue.

“I was just like, I’m 16 now, I’m growing up, the show has been a great platform, but it’s time to move on,” she continued. “During the show, I couldn’t take all the opportunities that I wanted to, and now since I’m off the show I’m getting to do what I want to do.”

Don’t worry, though — you’ll still see her around.

“I have acting going on, music� my new music video, in 24 hours it went to No. 1 on iTunes,” Nia said.
