Earlier this week, she also posted a series of photos with her friends, while hanging out at Mission Bay. Ziegler is in New Zealand as Sia's special guest for her Auckland Concert at Mt Smart Stadium. The young dancer rose to fame after appearing in several of Sia's music videos like "Chandelier" and "Elastic Heart." After the show, Ziegler posted a photo of her dance team and thanked Australia and New Zealand for having them. we did it!!! thank you australia and new zealand! it was AMAZING ✨" data-caption="null" data-credit="null">
Meanwhile, Ziegler announced she was leaving "Dance Moms" in February 2016, to star in a film project written and directed by Sia, called "Sister." "I definitely want to be moving more into acting. Still keeping up my dancing, but also [do] movies and scripted TV shows," the dancer-turned-actress told Entertainment Tonight. She added that the first time they met, she became instant friends with the 40-year-old singer, who she calls the "sweetest person ever." "I feel like I'm just so comfortable with her every time I'm with her. I never feel like, 'Oh my god, I'm hanging out with a celebrity,'" Ziegler quipped. The upcoming film "Sister" is based on a one-page story Sia wrote years back in 2007. Starring Ziegler and Kate Hudson, it would be about a sober drug dealer and her autistic sister.
