Mia Diaz literally waltzed her way into fame. Back in 2012, when she started out on Lifetime's 'Dance Moms: Miami', she was regarded as the gifted daughter of her famous mother, Leonora Diaz. But now, things have changed. So much so that it's the other way around these days: Leonora's claim to fame owes more to Mia's prodigious talents than her own. Indeed, Leonora has every reason to be a proud mother. Her daughter is a versatile performer: from acting to singing and gymnastics and dancing, Mia has done it all with equal panache.

The Meteoric Rise to Stardom

It won't be an exaggeration to say that Mia was born to dance. She started out when she was just three - yes, at three! At an age when most toddlers are still learning to walk, she was dancing. It was an indication of the great things to come. By the time she was eight, Mia had won every single regional-level dance competition she had participated in. Then came the Hall of Fame Nationals in Florida where she won the highest-scoring solo in the eight-and-under category - her first win in a National Championship.

In between, she had shifted dance schools, from 'Just Dance It' to 'Stars'; a move that subsequently proved to have a major bearing on boosting her career. At the American Dance Award Nationals in Boston, she won the Young Dancer of the Year National Title courtesy of her ‘Ave Maria’ solo. With the winning streak continuing at prestigious national-level events, her fame grew above and beyond, marking the birth of a new star in the world of performing arts.

What Makes Mia Diaz So Special

What separates Mia from the rest of her ilk is that she is an astoundingly natural performer. Dancing comes to her as easily as breathing. It's not a skill she cultivated over the years, but something that's inborn and ingrained.

Ballet, contemporary, jazz, musical theatre, tap, lyrical - it doesn't matter which dance form it is, for Mia has mastered them all. Her poise and grace on stage are unparalleled. Most of all, she has been mindful enough to do justice to this innate talent - through passion and dedication. It remains to be seen whether she will go on to find a place in the pantheon of all-time greats, but there is no denying the fact there is potential for greatness.

Beyond Fame

In early 2012, the Miami-based spin-off to the hit reality television series, 'Dance Moms' was announced. The show followed Victor Smalley and Angel Armas, the co-owners of the Stars Dance Studio where Mia was a student. After just eight episodes in its first season, 'Dance Moms: Miami' was canceled. Though it failed to emulate the success of the original, Mia was one among the many exciting new discoveries to emerge from the show.

Since then, Mia has gone on to diversify her resume through various projects. She has been featured in prestigious national performing arts magazines like ‘Dance Spirit’ and Rhee Gold's ‘Dance Studio Life.’ Having won almost every regional and national-level dance competition, she is now more focused on furthering her career as a professional dancer. Mia's acting career was launched in 2014 with the ensemble drama, 'Parts per Billion'. This was followed by a role in the Disney Channel movie, 'Growing Up and Down'.

Behind the Curtains

Mia's greatest source of strength is her mother, who now manages her career. Like many of her peers, she is home-schooled and enjoys spending her time with some of her friends from the showbiz world and her three dogs - Casper, Sugar, and Sheba. She has dedicated an entire Instagram account to sharing the adventures of her canine friends with the fans. But that's not all. An active presence on social media, Mia enjoys vlogging on YouTube. Her primary vlog is mainly focused on make-up, fashion and lifestyle, DIY projects, product reviews, and so on; while the second (and more recent) vlog is dedicated to the adrenaline junkie in her.

So, where does Mia Diaz see herself in the years to come? It shouldn't be a stretch to imagine what the future holds for a girl who once said that when she is not dancing, she is always thinking about an excuse to break into a dance. And she has already proven her acting and singing chops on various occasions. Whatever path she chooses, we are pretty sure that Mia Diaz is going to make a name for herself. Here is wishing her all the luck she may need in her pursuit!

Trivia

Mia is an adrenaline junkie. Her YouTube vlogs detail some of her snorkelling and parasailing adventures.
