GiaNina Paolantonio is a triple threat. She is an actress, singer and dancer from New Jersey. GiaNina made her broadway debut starring as Amanda Thripp in Matilda the Musical back in 2005. GiaNina has won many dance titles ranging from Little Miss Starbound to Miss Petite Dancers Inc. in 2012. Since GiaNina begun her dance career at such a young age, she's been able to showcase her dance moves on the big stage alongside Mariah Carey at the NBC Rockefeller Christmas Tree Lighting in 2014 and again on the "All I Want For Christmas Is You" tour in 2017. Later on, GiaNina made an on-screen appearance as a ballerina for the film, "The Greatest Showman" in 2017. Not to mention, she also guest starred for Nickelodeon’s Lip Sync Battle Shorties earlier in 2016. With her well acclaimed resume in dancing, it’s no wonder she’d be picked for Dance Moms, Season 8 in 2019. Her accolades place her with numerous 1st place awards, most of which you can see on Season 8 of the show. GiaNina is also building her stardom on social media with over 157K followers on Instagram and 29K subscribers on KZbin. There, you can find all of her vlogs and dance videos.

[@jeanienguyen1543]

it’s obvious that the show is heavily edited and the producers have been notorious for instigating drama...so I’m not surprised

[@yasminb.1211]

Jeanie Nguyen not all the drama is fake so be quiet damn 💀

[@jeanienguyen1543]

sarina m maybe but you also don’t know the show is highly edited to where I don’t think anything is real other than the dancing. And Gia seems really nice off dance moms so I don’t think she’s a brat.

[@eleanor9242]

Producers of DM : Ahemmmm Giaaaaaaaaaaa why u expose us??😑😑

[@Emper0rH0rde]

Everyone knows reality-TV is fake, and I think the producers understand this now, and at this point, they just don't want the cast members to spoil anything.

She likes dogs more than cats , but wears cats ears?😂

dog ears arent popular and u dont see it that much in stores

“crap, I forgot to get food” haha girl same

[@TheJuiceor]

How are the girls allowed to talk about that?I would imagine they would need to sign some kind of NDA agreement

[@Emper0rH0rde]

Probably because reality-TV producers are beginning to accept the fact that audiences don't believe this stuff is real anymore. It's become the worst kept secret in the world.

[@eleneeeeee3923]

She is portrayed as a rude girl But you can see thst she is so niceee

I used to only watch it for the drama but i think that if this show is just for drama than why do the kids even bother to practice their dances when some r unaired. Half of the dances were unaired because there were was no drama involved with it, (I think). So I kinda feel bad for them so that’s why I think she’s right

Don’t we all know this already? There has been 8 fricken seasons. I always knew Gianna was NOT a brat. The editors did the same thing to Peyton from season 4 I think. And many other characters. They told Peyton to say things and then edited her words to make her seem bratty. It’s all very fake. Reality tv does this ALL THE TIME. Literally all the time. They pick character who they want to be the “brats” and no matter what they say, they make sure to get them to look like brats. Happens all the time
