'Dance Moms' season 7 air date, cast news: Nia Sioux leaving the show after season 6?

Another dancer may soon find herself outside Abby Lee Miller's dance floor when "Dance Moms" returns for season 7.

In an interview with OK! Magazine, star dancer Nia Sioux hinted that she might have to depart from the dance reality show for its upcoming season because of her new stint on Broadway.

"I have a lot right now that's in the works and a lot of doors that are opening, and I just wanna take advantage of all the opportunities. So, I think I'm just gonna have to wait and see," Nia said.

It will not be a surprise if Nia will opt to get out of Abby Lee's Dance Company since her mother Holly Hatcher-Frazier had several arguments with Miller in the past. In Holly's opinion, the dance studio director was not giving enough shining moments to showcase her talents in all of the competitions that she appeared in.

During the interview, Nia shared what she learned from her very supportive mother.

Nia will also be the last remaining elite team member of the ALDC if she decides to stay with the studio.

"She says that to me all the time because sometimes people keep on pushing you down and you just feel like you have to do whatever they say," the young dancer said.

Abby Lee already lost some of her best students in the studio prior to the start of "Dance Moms" season 7. In December 2015, Melissa Gisoni's 13-year-old daughter and the top dancer of the ALDC, Maddie Ziegler, announced that she had departed the show after season 6. Her 11-year-old sister Mackenzie has also quit the reality show.

There are also rumors claiming that another elite team member, JoJo Siwa, will also quit the show.

New episodes of "Dance Moms" season 6 will start to air Tuesday, Sept. 6, while filming for season 7 is expected to begin this fall.
