Selome Hailu editorJoJo Siwa’s brand has always been happiness.She first burst onto the scene as the daughter of one of Lifetime’s titular “Dance Moms,” where she became known not just for her dance moves, but for the way she accessorized.

Siwa wore bright, sparkly bows in her hair at all times, to some of the moms’ dismay — or perhaps it was just her perpetual grin that irked them.Siwa is now 18, but the signature bows haven’t gone anywhere, and neither has her positive attitude.

Both are essential to the plot of “The J Team,” the new Paramount Plus film that she executive produces and stars in as herself.

This version of JoJo, along with her best friends “The Rubies,” must face a mean-spirited new dance coach named Poppy, played by Tisha.
