Elliana Walmsley Talks "Dance Moms" Season 8 and Possible Hiatus From The Show?! | Hollywire

Elliana Walmsley is in the Hollywire studio!! She teaches us a new dance routine and explains her nickname, Shakoofa, while on the show, Dance Moms. We discuss her time on the show, Dance Moms, and why she decided to take some time off. We play a fun game of Hollywords and find out she prefers to dine in and she picks Instagram over Snapchat! She is a stellar dancer, who is best known for her appearance on Dance Moms and her inclusion in Abby Lee Miller’s Dance Team. Born on June 23, 2007, Elianna is an 11 year old superstar. Prior to her television debut, Walmsley studied at the Joffrey Ballet and was even crowned Miss Petite Dance: America. She has become incredibly popular on social media, earning more than 750,000 followers just on Instagram. She even has a mini series with best friend Brooke Butler, adorably called: The Brooke and Elliana Show. After competing with the Abby Lee Dance Company on the show, she was invited to participate in a national tour with fellow castmate Maesi Caes to teach dance masterclasses and give solo performances. We can’t wait for more Elianna.
