The event is hosted by Nia Sioux from the TV show “Dance Moms.”

Eliza will perform “Castle” as choreographed by her teacher Lisa Friend and assistant Bailey Conley.

She currently has earned the Miss Junior Energy title and Miss Petite Legacy title.

Eliza attends Lakeview Middle School and dances with the Performing Arts Center in Boardman.
