"I'll get lunch with Kenzie [Ziegler] sometimes and I'll go over to Chloe [Lukasiak]'s apartment and we'll hang out. I'm so close with all the girls, they're amazing. I miss them all."

In honor of her new Facebook series, Dance with Nia, we invited Nia Sioux to chat over Zoom and tell us all about her first times.

Here are just a few of our favorite first times Nia told us about:

1. After Nia first auditioned for Dance Moms, her mom, Holly, told her that they probably weren't gonna get cast because they were "just too boring."

2. The first time Nia met Michelle Obama, she was so in shock she needed to take several minutes just to absorb the experience.

3. The first time she was recognized in public was actually at a dance competition, and a fan asked for a picture of her and the Dance Moms cast.

4. Her first experience filming Dance with Nia was meeting and bonding with Lark Detweiler, a deaf dancer.

She said, "I was just filled with so much love, honestly, my heart felt so full. ... I created a lot of friends on that show and filming it was such a dream come true."

5. The first Dance Moms costar she'd text to hang out with is either Maddie Ziegler or Paige Hyland, since she hasn't seen them in a while.
