"Dance Moms" Season 6 may lose yet another one of its lead stars, as Maddie Ziegler seemingly hinted in an interview with ET that she is leaving the show for good. Ziegler acknowledges the fact that the show brought her to fame, but would like to "move on to bigger and better things."

"I definitely want to be moving more into acting. Still keeping up my dancing, but also movies and scripted TV show," the 12-year-old dancer said.

Ziegler catapulted to fame after her appearance in the Lifetime reality show under the Abby Lee Dance Company (ALDC) led by Abby Lee Miller and was chosen to star in Sia's music videos for "Big Girls Cry," "Chandelier" and "Elastic Heart."
