Kalani Brooke Hilliker (born September 23, 2000) is a dancer from Arizona and competed in Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition, and the daughter of Kira.
She was first featured on AUDC, Season 2, and quickly becoming Abby's favorite for her flexibility, technique and the natural look of a dancer. Kalani 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 4 and was eliminated during the group challenge on the final week.
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. Kira emphasized on Twitter that she had a little boy and man at home, and chose family over fame. Kira also spoke to the International Business Times, which reported that she pulled Kalani from the show in response "to a request to sign a seven-year contract in order to stay on Season 4."
Despite all of that, Kalani has recently flown back to Pittsburgh, and competed as a member of the ALDC for a number of competitions filmed for the 5th season.
