It looks like it wouldn't matter to Lifetime if Maddie Ziegler is Abby Lee Miller's star student. Now that she has reportedly missed the first two competitions for "Dance Moms" season 6, there's word that the talented young dancer may be removed from the series.

According to reports, Maddie is likely to miss the filming for the third episode of the new season, which takes ALDC to California for another big contest. Fans of the young star are worried that when she goes for the third strike, she will be kicked out of the show.

Apparently, Maddie is busy filming "The Book of Henry," an upcoming drama film by "Jurassic World" director Colin Trevorrow that also stars Naomi Watts. It was allegedly this movie commitment that led to her two-episode absence.

Looking ahead, it wouldn't be impossible to see less and less of Maddie's presence in "Dance Moms" season 6 seeing as she will also be starring in an upcoming music video by Sia, whose previous music videos helped in giving Maddie's career a boost.

Maddie has already mentioned that she wasn't sure of coming back to the Lifetime hit show because she plans to dip her toes in other projects that do not involve dancing for a change. She has admitted that she wants to try some acting and singing as well.

For now, fans could only wait for the shooting of the third "Dance Moms" season 6 episode to see if Maddie will be there. Neither the youngster nor Lifetime has talked about the possible removal of the former from the show so it is best to take this news with a pinch of salt.

The best bet is that with so much going on in Maddie's schedule, she will still be on "Dance Moms" but not as usual as in the previous seasons.
