Lifetime and dance coach Abby Lee Miller are busy shaping up the new cast of "Dance Moms" season 6 by recruiting new talents. As fans watch the ensemble take form, there still lingers the question of whether or not Miller's so-called star student Maddie Ziegler will ever come back. 

The young dancer hasn't been very vocal and straightforward about her return or possible exit from the series but she has been talking quite a lot about her other plans. There are speculations she will be too busy with her commitments to come back to the reality series.

In an interview with ET, Ziegler revealed that she "wants to move on to bigger and better things." While she acknowledged how much she owes "Dance Moms" for the stardom she is enjoying right now, she also expressed that she wants to take a stab at new things. 

"I definitely want to be moving more into acting. Still keeping up my dancing, but also movies and scripted TV shows," the dance prodigy admitted.

During a chat with Teen Vogue, she also dished out that she might even try singing "a little bit so I can be a triple threat." 

And it looks like Ziegler is already starting out. A couple of months ago, the almost-13-year-old performer starred in an episode of "Pretty Little Liars." She has also been Sia's go-to for her music videos. She appears in the video for "Chandelier" as well as "Elastic Heart," which also stars Shia Labeouf. 

She did not directly reveal if she will still be appearing in "Dance Moms" season 6, although media outlets comprehend her statements as her subtle way of saying that she won't be around in the next season of the Lifetime series. 

Ziegler has been in the long-running reality show since it first aired back in 2011. From there, her dancing was honed and her prowess in it was eventually noticed by Hollywood. It was even speculated that she was Miller's favorite among the dancers on the show.
