Kira Girard, also known to the world as Kira Hilliker, is no stranger to the world of dance, and together with her daughter Kalani Hilliker, the dynamic duo manages to steal hearts everywhere they go. Girard first came into the spotlight with her daughter when they appeared on the Kids’ Choice Award winning, Lifetime reality series, Dance Moms. The show itself is centered around the training and careers of children in dance and show business, as well as the relationships between the dancers and their mothers. Kira and Kalani wowed viewers across the world with their contemporary and lyrical styles of dance. Girard was able to appear on the show from 2014 to 2017. After her 91 episode, 4 season reign on the series, the duo later left the Abby Lee Dance Company to form “The Irreplaceables” with other former cast members of Dance Moms.

Girard and her daughter have also appeared on season 2 of another Lifetime dance reality competition series, Abby’s Ultimate Dance Competition. The series encompasses child dancers that compete for $100,000 and a scholarship to the prestigious Joffrey Ballet Academy. The duo remarkably made it all the way to finals during their season, beating out 7 other contestants including popular Youtube personality, Jojo Siwa.
