'Dance Moms' Season 7 Renewal, Cast: Maddie Ziegler Replaced By Minis, Abby Lee Miller Hopes For Future Collaboration

"Hopefully, wink wink, Maddie and I will work together again. She's still at my studio. That's never going to change. But hopefully were going to be working on another project that you might just see on your television screen [or] even your computer screen in the future. Keep your fingers crossed."

Bustle recently shut down speculations that Ziegler will eventually return to Dance Moms after her stint on So You Think You Can Dance. The outlet pointed out that Ziegler's priorities have changed. The 13-year-old dancer clearly has a lot on her plate in 2016, from filming Colin Trevorrow's The Book of Henry, being the youngest addition to SYTYCD, and preparing for another movie, this time with best pal Sia, titled Sisters.

The publication further speculated that Dance Moms Season 7 will most likely focus on the ongoing feud between the elite dancers and the minis.

"Her return seems mildly unlikely, given the big changes in store on the show. The moms of Dance Moms have been living up to their reputations during Season 6 by being particularly harsh to the moms of the Mini dance team."

"Honestly, I'd rather be with you on a job than with moms that are all negative all the time. I don't want to sit on a bench anymore. I'm sick of it. We've turned a lot of things down and I just don't want to do that anymore. We just have to be more available. There is more to the world than dance competitions."
