Maddie Ziegler’s PLL Dance Dream Sequence

Maddie Ziegler (Dance Moms) did an amazing job dancing on Pretty Little Liars in Spencer’s creepy nightmare in “She’s No Angel” 6x05.  (There are some cool behind-the-scenes photos of Maddie with the PLL cast).

In case you missed it, here is Maddie’s PLL dance dream sequence:

Having a creepy dance in a dream sequence was definitely something different for PLL.  PLL executive producer Oliver Goldstick explained the decision behind that sequence to Entertainment Weekly.

Maddie Ziegler is a huge PLL fan.  Maddie and Oliver are represented by the same agency.  So the agency asked Oliver if he could put Maddie on the show. 

Oliver Goldstick had to wait for the right time to feature Maddie on PLL.  “After the dollhouse in the last finale I thought, okay, we’re already in a place where we don’t know who was in that bunker besides our girls, so the idea was we would find a way to create, at least if not a legitimate sequence, a fantasy sequence,” Oliver said.

The dream sequence was choreographed by Travis Wall (So You Think You Can Dance).  They only had six hours of rehearsal time to get the dance down.
