Kalani Hilliker – Dance Moms

By: Jamie Steinberg

Q) What made you want to be a part of the show “Dance Moms?”

A) Before I was on “Dance Moms,” I was on “Abby’s Ultimate Dance Competition.” We had a great connection so when she asked me to join the competition team I knew it would be a great experience because the girls and I were already good friends and Abby and I had a good connection!

Q) What can you tease about what we will get to see this season on “Dance Moms?”

A) This season of “Dance Moms” includes lots of craziness as always, but also some of my favorite dances we have done on the show.

Q) What have been some of your most memorable moment from filming the show?

A) The girls and I have had many experiences. We do everything together. They are my best friends, but one of my favorite “Dance Moms” memories would have to be when my mom got proposed. It was such a sweet moment that we will never forget.

Q) What have you really taken away from your experience being a part of “Dance Moms?”

A) One thing I have really taken away from being on the show is never take anything for granted because everything could get taken away in a split second.

Q) What is it like for you to watch the episodes, being able to see what transpired in a different way than from your perspective while filming?

A) I try not to watch “Dance Moms” because they don’t always air the full story of what happened or things get mixed up. And I lived it so I don’t want to live it again! [laughs]

Q) The show has brought many people closer and others farther apart. What do you think is the challenge to getting past that?

A) There has a been a lot of change in the competition team, but I think that’s kinda what we are trained to do. The team isn’t always the same so we have to adapt week by week to who’s on the team that week.

Q) Is there anything else you want to be sure you share with your fans?

A) I would like to thank all of my supporters for everything they do because without you all I wouldn’t be doing what I’m doing! xo Kalani
