As DM fans know, Abby had her students dance against each other to see who would win the honor of performing at nationals. The season finale’s storyline featured Abby trying to decide if the final solo should go to Nia Sioux or Kalani despite Nia beating her teammate in a competition prior. The decision, of course, sparked drama between the mothers when Nia was chosen to compete alongside Maddie Ziegler.

Also on the finale episode, Abby forced her teammates to walk off stage in the middle of the awards ceremony when no one from the Abby Lee Dance Studio placed first. But Kalani insisted the group didn’t walk out because of the results. “The competition was a little crazy and a little messed up,” she explained. “They told me I won first place in duo/trio, but I did not do a duo/trio. We thought it was unprofessional so we decided to walk out. It had nothing to do with us losing.”

Kalani and her mother Kira Girard quit the team in the middle of the season because Abby kicked her out of a group dance after she worked with her old choreographer on a solo. When they returned shortly after, Kira insisted this would be their final season with the team. “Of course I want to return and be back,” she said. “But I’m pretty positive that I probably will be.”
