Jojo Siwa Has Come a Long Way Since 'Dance Moms' — but the Teen Is Just Getting Started

Breaking down the facts behind Jojo Siwa Has Come a Long Way Since 'Dance Moms' — but the Teen Is Just Getting Started—read on to discover the main takeaways.

JoJo and her iconic oversized bow have been making waves in the dance world since she first appeared in Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition in 2013. Abby later recruited JoJo to appear in Dance Moms and vie for a permanent spot on her prestigious team.

Between her stellar dance moves, her larger-than-life personality, and her dynamic alter-ego Paul-la, JoJo quickly made a name for herself and caught more than just Abby's attention. While the 13-year-old was competing on Dance Moms in 2016, she was multitasking and building her Youtube presence.

"Boomerang," a song about online bullying that she released alongside a colorful and dance-y Youtube video propelled JoJo into the limelight, and today that video has over 700 million views. Her iconic bows landed JoJo a collaboration with the fashion accessories company Claire's in 2016. 

However, the teen star's latest collaboration with the brand, a cosmetics kit, was recalled after the FDA issued an asbestos warning. She's also partnered with J.C. Penney on a line of accessories and bedroom decor, as well as products like shoes, bandaids, and a doll in her likeness for Target and Walmart.
