Joelle Joanie[5] "JoJo" Siwa[6] (born May 19, 2003) is a dancer from Omaha, Nebraska. Her mother is Jessalynn Siwa.

JoJo was first introduced on the second season of Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition. Both JoJo and her mother were disliked by many of the contestants, as well as Abby, due to their "loud" personalities. She was eliminated in Divas in the House, meaning she had just missed out on being one of the final four.

JoJo made her first appearance on Dance Moms during the fourth season in Abby Strikes Back, where she attended the Orlando audition.

The following season, JoJo and her mother were asked to join the Abby Lee Dance Company elite team in JoJo with a Bow Bow to replace Chloe.

JoJo and her mother remained as permanent members on the team until the second half of Season 6, where the pair finally departed from the show after JoJo signed a consumer deal with Nickelodeon.[7] They later temporarily returned to Dance Moms in Season 8 Episode 9, thus marking their final appearance on the show.
