Mini bio
How it started.
Kalani grew up in Arizona and began dance classes at two. Early screen work included Shake It Up and Bunheads, giving her experience performing for cameras before reality television became a much bigger part of her life.
The breakout.
She finished fourth in the second season of Abby’s Ultimate Dance Competition in 2013, then joined Dance Moms in its fourth season. Fans came to know her through competition routines and the weekly demands of learning and performing on television.
Building her own path.
After Dance Moms, Kalani continued creating online and teaching dance. She launched Kare by Kalani in 2023, connecting beauty and self-care with her own experiences of stress. She has also spoken openly about therapy and mental health.
Back in the studio.
Teaching became a central part of her next chapter. In 2026 she introduced Khaos Dance Studio in Scottsdale, with recreational classes and competitive training. Her own videos now give fans glimpses of studio life alongside beauty and personal updates.
