It seems like Lifetime Network is starting to coax some of the girls from Abby Lee's Dance Company to return to "Dance Moms" as reports about their disinterest in joining season 6 intensify. 

Reality Today reports that "Dance Moms" will begin airing a series of special episodes, including a "behind-the-scenes" episode with Abby Lee Miller's favorite student Maddie Ziegler and her mom Melissa Gisoni. The report claims that this is the network's answer to Miller's accusations that Lifetime is giving more airtime on the petty fights that are happening between the mothers instead of concentrating on the performances of her students. 

Ziegler is said to be one of the students contemplating leaving "Dance Moms." The young dancer is already making a name for herself outside the dance reality show. Reports claim that the ALDC star student might leave the series and focus on other opportunities that will come her way. At the age of 12, Maddie already starred in two music videos for Sia, including the singer's critically acclaimed song "Chandelier." She also performed at the 2014 Grammy Awards for the same song. 

Ziegler also appeared in several TV series as a guest actress, including Disney Channel's "Austin & Ally." Recently, the tap/ lyrical dancer was featured in a creepy dance dream sequence in ABC Family's "Pretty Little Liars," which she said she enjoyed so much. She also admitted in an interview with Elle that she wants to return to the hit suspense series.

"I want to be 'A' [the show's mysterious killer]. That would be so sick. But it's kind of impossible because I would have had to start being evil when I was like, six years old. But hopefully I'll get to go back on the show, because it's my favorite... I don't even care if I'm an extra, I just want to go back!" Ziegler said. 

But while Ziegler is still thinking about her fate in "Dance Moms," she said that she will always show support for her co-star and best friend Kendall Vertes no matter what happens.
