Career

Nia Sioux Frazier began her career at age nine, joining the ALDC’s Junior Elite Competition Team and debuting on Dance Moms in 2011.

As the only Black dancer for most of the show’s run, she faced challenges, including typecasting in ethnic roles and frequent placement at the bottom of Abby Lee Miller’s pyramid, yet excelled in contemporary, musical theater, and acro, earning praise for her death drops and partner work.

She and her mother, Holly, remained with ALDC until 2017, when they left to form The Irreplaceables with other castmates, marking her exit after seven seasons.

Her resilience and growth in technique made her a fan favorite and the show’s longest-tenured dancer.

After Dance Moms, Sioux diversified her career with acting and music.

She debuted as a singer in 2015 with “Star In Your Own Life,” which topped iTunes charts, followed by “Slay” and “Dance (Just Rock),” though her music videos faced criticism for mature themes.

Her acting credits include playing Emma Barber in The Bold and the Beautiful (2018–2019, 59 episodes), Zoe Whitfield in Runnin’ from My Roots (2018), and roles in Imperfect High (2021) and Mean Girls (2024).

She made her Off-Broadway debut in Trip of Love (2016) and voiced characters in The JoJo & BowBow Show Show (2019).

In 2021, she launched Dance With Nia, a Facebook Watch series highlighting dancers with disabilities, serving as host and executive producer, showcasing her advocacy for inclusivity.

Sioux’s influence extends to her 2024 directorial debut with the “Seize the Awkward” campaign, promoting mental health conversations, and her 2025 memoir, Bottom of the Pyramid: A Memoir of Persevering, Dancing for Myself, and Starring in My Own Life, which details her Dance Moms experience and challenges with racism.

A UCLA graduate, she remains active on social media, with over 5.6 million Instagram followers, collaborating with brands like SunnyD and promoting voting and body positivity.

Her 2023 inclusion in Variety’s Power of Young Hollywood list and her Role Model Monday series underscore her commitment to inspiring others, with ambitions to achieve EGOT status.
