Kalani Brooke Hilliker was born on September 23, 2000. Kalani has been featured on several different television programs as well as a music video for Mack Z entitled, "It's a Girl Party." Hilliker dances at Club Dance Studio but is affiliated with the Abby Lee Dance Company. She lives in Scottsdale, Arizona with her mother Kira Girard, stepfather David Newman, and brother Jax Hilliker.
In 2012, Kalani became a part of the dance group made up of four Club Dance Studio dancers called AKSquared. This dance group competed on Disney Channel's Make Your Mark, a dance contest that is related to the Disney Channel television series Shake It Up. AKSquared won the contest.
One year later, Kalani auditioned and competed on Lifetime's Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition, a television series closely related to Dance Moms and is hosted by Abby Lee Miller. Although Kalani did not win the competition, she placed in the top 3 finalists of season 2 and was clearly Miller's favorite of the contestants. That same year, Kalani was featured of ABC Family's Bunheads as a background dancer
A year after that, Kalani joined the cast of Dance Moms and starred in nine episodes of the fourth season alongside her mother. Kira later stated that her and Kalani left the show due to their refusal to sign a seven-season binding contract with Lifetime (simillar to or the same as the contract that Kelly Hyland, former dance mom who was arrested for physical assault and is now suing Lifetime, signed). Afterwards, Hilliker returned home to Arizona where she continued her dance training at Club Dance.
Kalani and her mother returned to Dance Moms in season 5 as a regular team member.
