Kalani Brooke Hilliker[5] (born September 23, 2000) is a dancer from Club Dance in Arizona. Kalani competed in the second season of Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition. Her mother is Kira Girard.
Kalani was first featured on AUDC, Season 2, and quickly becoming Abby's favorite for her flexibility, technique and the natural look of a dancer. She was originally eliminated in the Vegas week for a weak Hip-Hop performance, but Abby brought her back using her Call-Back Card. She made it to the final four contestants in the concluding episode, but was eliminated during the group challenge.
Kalani began performing for the ALDC in the Dance Moms fourth season episode Big Trouble in the Big Apple, continuing on the show until the season's midseason finale, after which Kalani and her mother left the program, with Kira stating her reasons on Twitter, [6] and with the International Business Times.[7] At the start of the fifth season, Kira and Kalani were invited to return to the ALDC and Dance Moms, and accepted the offer.
