The Abby Lee Dance Company (ALDC) is set to film the fourth episode of "Dance Moms" season 7. However, it looks like Jojo Siwa will still be out of the action.

The squad is headed to Placentia in California out to dominate the upcoming Dream National Dance Competition. A poster for the event shows Brynn Rumfallo, Nia Sioux, Kalani Hilliker, and Kendall Vertes.

This suggests that in the fourth episode of "Dance Moms" season 7, Jojo Siwa will still be absent. She is yet to appear in any of the episodes.

ALDC has been gracing the competitions with a couple of newcomers handpicked by dance coach Abby Lee Miller from the auditions she and the production team did for the new season.

One is Daviana Fletcher and the other is Camryn Bridges, who even performed a solo dance in the New York Dance Experience that will be featured in the third episode of "Dance Moms" season 7.

There is no word as to when Siwa will return, and the fact that she is not part of the first episodes has her fans worried about the extent of her inclusion in the new season.

Even before the "Dance Moms" season 7 production began, rumor mills suggested that Siwa will follow the footsteps of fellow original cast members Maddie and Mackenzie Ziegler and leave the show.

Siwa has been busy with some projects and appearances that she often shares on Instagram. She once teased a Radio Disney project and a launch of her ribbon line.

There is no confirmation yet on Siwa's exit. However, she has commented before that she will be part of "Dance Moms" season 7. The 14-year-old even said that the new season "will be fun."

However, her absence in the initial episodes does nothing in dispelling the fear of fans that she is leaving the show. For now, fans will just have to wait and see as "Dance Moms" season 7 is set to premiere on Lifetime sometime next year.
