Mia is Ron Harper’s youngest child and his only daughter with his wife, Maria. While Mia Harper’s elder brothers are basketball stars, she focuses on dance. Because of her athleticism, she is the tumbler of her dance group, one who does the hardest tricks.
Mia performs for Studio L in Warwick and participates in competitions with different musical styles and size groups.
Meanwhile, Ron’s eldest son, Ron Harper Jr., plays for the Boston Celtics’ G-League team, the Maine Celtics. Dylan, the five-time champion’s second son, is making waves playing as a freshman at the collegiate level.
