There are still many uncertainties when it comes to season 6 of "Dance Moms," one of which is the return of Abby Lee Miller to the series. After hints that the dance coach may not be willing to continue with the reality show, a new rumor has surfaced that might make the series run for a new season, even without her. 

Miller had always been at the helm of the show, with her dance studio ALDC being the beacon of light for the young dancers. But recent developments have seen the fallout between the network and Miller. There are contradicting reports about her alleged exit, but should she decide to leave, a willing volunteer has presented herself and she is no other than Cathy Nesbitt-Stein of Candy Apple's Dance Center.

When asked by IB Times if she's willing to lead the show, Nesbitt-Stein replied, "Oh my gosh, in a heartbeat. If that's the direction that they wanted to go because then I know they have to film in Ohio. I don't know that Abby would let that happen, though."

Nesbitt-Stein and her daughter Vivi-Ann was not seen in season 5B because she said she had been very busy. But she did express interest in returning. 

"I would love, love, love to come back to the show," she said. "I absolutely enjoy doing it. If they could do something that they could come back here I would definitely be very interested participating with them." 

Master Herald reports that Nia Frazier and her mom will be coming back for season 6 despite rumors that they will be leaving the show for good. Jessalyn Siwa and her daughter will also be back next season, so will Kalani Hilliker and her mother Kira Gerard. Mother-daughter team Kendall and Jill Vertes will also be joining the new season.
