Kalani Brooke Hilliker[2] (born September 23, 2000) is a dancer from Club Dance in Arizona. Her mother is Kira Girard.

Kalani was first featured on the second season of Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition, where she quickly became Abby's favorite due to her flexibility, technique and having the natural look of a dancer. After being brought back using Abby's call back card, Kalani advanced all the way to the final four where she placed 4th.

After AUDC concluded, Kalani was asked to join the Abby Lee Dance Company elite team. She made her debut on the show in Big Trouble in the Big Apple and remained on the show until Presenting My New Team, after which Kalani and her mother decided to return to Arizona, with Kira explaining that family was more important to her than fame.[3]

Despite this, Kalani and Kira were later invited back the following season, after the departure of Christi and Chloe Lukasiak. Kalani remained at the ALDC until Ashlee's Big Decision Part 1 where she and the other elite dancers decided to leave the ALDC and form The Irreplaceables.
