"Originally, we just thought it was a documentary and then it got bigger and bigger," she remembers. When the show began, Martello was still juggling college classes and teaching - she had no idea it would make the cast overnight celebrities. Martello has more choreography experience than many of us realize - for example, Meghan Trainor recently posted a video to her website that was choreographed by Martello. And we'll meet a very talented new member of the mini team when 6B kicks off - Liliana is another dancer who Martello says will shine. She’s very versatile and we needed a new strong team member," she says. "Brynn is an amazing addition to the team. With Maddie moving on to other opportunities, Martello notes that there are two rising stars on Dance Moms to watch closely. Her mind looks deeper and finds the detail." Martello still works with Maddie and Mackenzie in both the Pittsburgh and Los Angeles ALDC studios. "Maddie can read into my brain about what I want to portray into a routine.
They naturally click when working on a routine. She always finds time to come in," she says. "I had privates with her long before the show started and I still have a standing private with her. Martello has been teaching Maddie since she was in kindergarten, so it's clear they have a strong bond both personally and professionally. Although she's choreographed many amazing dances for Maddie, her favorite is "Hostage" - a contemporary piece that earned her first place as her time on Dance Moms came to a close. "I get to express myself through the kids and find out what they really can do," she says. Martello's favorite aspect of choreography (both at the studio and on Dance Moms) is that she gets to create new pieces every week. When I began assisting Abby, I realized how much I loved creating dances as well." "But I was always the one in the room who noticed if someone was off or trying to tell people they weren’t doing the right thing. "I originally wanted to be a dancer," she says.
Martello didn't always want to be a choreographer, but it comes naturally to her. But, Martello always had a teacher's instinct - she began teaching at the ALDC when she was just 16.
She began training with Miller at age six, and was on her competitive team from the ages of 10 to 18. Martello's relationship with Abby Lee Miller and the ALDC goes way back. She's been working with Maddie since she was five years old and continues to have private sessions with her each week. In an interview with Bustle, Gianna Martello talks about what it's like to choreograph for Maddie Ziegler, who won the Teen Choice Award for "Choice Dancer" on July 31. But there's one adult who always manages to stay out of the arguments and focus solely on the dancers. As all Dance Moms fans know, there's no shortage of drama at the ALDC.
