It seems like Abby Lee Miller's favorite student Maddie Ziegler will have to miss the filming of another episode of "Dance Moms" season 6 as her name was not included on the list of participants at the Fierce Dance Competition in Lawndale, California lastweekend.

Design & Trend recently reported that the 13-year-old celebrity dancer had to miss the competition because of her commitment to Colin Trevorrow's drama film "The Book of Henry."

This is not the first time that Ziegler has had to excuse herself from filming during the sixth season of Lifetime's hit dance reality show.

Meanwhile, Ziegler's absence did not affect the standing of her classmates at the Abbie Lee Dance Company, including sister Mackenzie, Kalani Hilliker, Kendall Vertes, Jojo Siwa, Brynn Rumfallo, and Nia Frazer since they all did well during the competition.

According to the Dance Moms spoiler site, the group won first in the Junior Division and first Overall Division when they performed "Bollywood Dreams" in the group dance category. They also managed to win in several individual and duet categories, when Hilliker and Frazer ended up with the first rank and fourth overall decision when they danced to the tune of "Isolations." Another top ranking performance from Alexus Oladi and Peyton Evans ended up in the top spot of the Mini Division with their rendition of "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark," but they did not place in the Overall ranking.

Meanwhile Rumfallo and Vertes ended up in the third spot of the Junior Division and third in the Overall Division when they performed "The Odd Couple." Jenna Valenzuela was also seen during the competition, where she won the first place in the Club Dance category.

In another news, ALDC main choreographer Abby Lee Miller pleaded not guilty to bankruptcy fraud.

Deadline revealed that she appeared in the courthouse to deal with her bankruptcy fraud, false bankruptcy declarations, and concealment of bankruptcy assets case. She pleaded not guilty to all the charges and paid a $10,000 bond. But there is no trial date set for the case as of the moment.

"Dance Moms" season 6 is slated to air on 2016.
