There's no denying that Maddie Ziegler is definitely the breakout star of Lifetime's Dance Moms and now it looks like the pint-sized dancer is branching out. Ziegler has landed a new guest role on the Disney Channel's hit show, Austin & Ally.

It is still unknown though when the episode will air on the Disney Channel.

Meanwhile, as things seem to be rather drama-free on the dance floor these days, Maddie's instructor Abby Lee Miller recently admitted that things "aren't always the way you see it" on the small screen.

According to The Huffington Post UK, Miller says that there are "two sides to every story" when it comes to rumors about how she's supposedly "attacked" her dancers.

She told the site, "What you don't see on the show is the laughter. The kids and I are united, and we're laughing all the time at the producers. You don't see the fun. I have spent the greater part of my life in a hotel room with seven or eight kids, looking after everyone, sorting out fights, wiping noses, handing out towels, not having a clean towel left for me. The only difference... now I have my own room and my own towel."
