Asia Monet Ray

Asia Monet Ray (born August 10, 2005) is the daughter of Shawn and Kristie Ray and is the sister of Bella Blu.

Asia was featured on the first season of Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition, where she was the youngest competitor to participate in her respective season, where she placed fourth.

Shortly after, Asia was invited to join the Abby Lee Dance Company junior elite team in the third season of Dance Moms for Abby's intention to challenge Mackenzie. She remained on the team until The Big Not So Easy, where she and her mother decided to depart from the team as Asia no longer wanted to dance competitively.

Asia did not appear on the show until the following season, where she made a one-off appearance in the Girl Talk episode.
