'Dance Moms' Sneak Peek: Is Maddie Ziegler Leaving The ALDC? [VIDEO]

Maddie Ziegler has come a long way since her early days as part of the ALDC's Junior Elite Competition Team. The 13-year-old quickly rose to fame as the star talent on Lifetime's hit reality TV series "Dance Moms," and she went on to earn starring roles in the music videos for pop star Sia's hit songs "Chandelier" and "Elastic Heart."

The teen earned another coveted spot as the winner of The People's Choice DailyMail.com Seriously Popular Award earlier this year, beating out fellow reality TV star Kylie Jenner and actresses Bella Thorne, Cara Delevingne and Ruby Rose.

In a sneak peek for tonight's episode of "Dance Moms," instructor Abby Lee Miller worries that Ziegler would want to leave her ALDC for more high-profile gigs in Hollywood, so she sits down with her student and tries to convince her to stay on the team.

"The people have chosen you as their winner," Miller tells Ziegler. "Another win, yes - and more pressure. The more you win, the more people expect."

"She is the People's Choice," Miller says in her on-camera interview. "Now, it's even more imperative that she get out on that stage and she be everything that they could imagine."

"What do you think about the rumors, because I've been dealing with it 24/7," Miller asks.

"Someone asked me on the carpet," the teen said. "They were like, 'Are you still with the ALDC?' I was like, 'Of course.'"

"I think stopping your dancing would be detrimental," Miller advises her young protégé and coaches her on how to speak to the press. "Just be vocal about it, 'I'm not stopping to dance. I have to work it out so that I can do both.' You can do it, you can do it all. Right?"

The teen nods her head, looking slightly scared.

In shorter clip from tonight's episode, the dance moms are all nervous about how Ziegler's absence might affect the ALDC Junior Elite team and how that would also affect their daughters' careers.

"All these magazines are talking about Maddie leaving the team," dance mom Jill Vertes says in her on-camera interview. "The team needs to plan for our future, with or without Maddie."
