Dance Moms star Maddie Ziegler has been showing off our shores on social media, posting on Instagram that she's "a little obsessed" with New Zealand.

The 15-year-old dancer, actress and model is in Auckland, set to appear as a special guest in Sia's Auckland show at Mt Smart Stadium on Tuesday night.

Ziegler gained international success from her regular appearances in several of Sia's music videos, including 'Chandelier' and 'Elastic Heart'. 

She was taking some time to cool off at Mission Bay beach on Monday afternoon, posting snaps on Instagram of her and some friends in the water.

"A little obsessed with New Zealand and these beautiful girlssss" Ziegler captioned the series of pics.

Her New Zealand fans have gone into overdrive with excitement at the news.

"Omg I can't believe you're in New Zealand my sister saw you at the beach I wish I was there," one fan commented.

"Sylvie I was at mission bay when she was there and then I had to leave for tennis and then my friend saw her and then they got a photo omg and I missed it by 5 minutes and my friend even texted me omg nooooo ahahhahaha" another despaired.
