“Tonight is the finale of Dance Moms, which is super emotional for us all!” she wrote in the notes section. “I wanted to give you a behind the scenes look at all the fun we have together in between being on camera. We are a weird bunch, but we love each other like sisters.”
“Crazy to think that this is the end. Thank you everyone who has watched and supported… tonight’s gonna be an emotional one,” Kalani wrote on her own Instagram.

Tonight’s episode of Dance Moms is set to be an emotional one as the Irreplaceables head off to nationals with Cheryl Burke.
This will be the girls’ final nationals competition, and with four solos, the girls go head-to-head to see who can come out on top as the National title winner.
“As seen on the hit show Dance Moms, The Irreplaceables…bring their world-class talent and larger-than-life personalities to major cities across North America,” the website reads. “This 75 minute show of cutting-edge dance brought to life by bright lights and unique sets will inspire the dancer inside!”
The tour hits Nevada, Arizona, California, Vancouver, Minnesota, and more cities starting in late November.
“It’s crazy to see how far it’s come and how much I’ve been through,” the 16-year-old singer and dancer told Teen Vogue.
“I was just like, I’m 16 now, I’m growing up, the show has been a great platform, but it’s time to move on,” she continued. “During the show, I couldn’t take all the opportunities that I wanted to, and now since I’m off the show I’m getting to do what I want to do.”
Don’t worry, though — you’ll still see her around.
“I have acting going on, music… my new music video, in 24 hours it went to No. 1 on iTunes,” Nia said.

“Whenever I meet a fan they always ask me, ‘Is Abby really that mean?’ And usually what I say is: ‘What you see is what you get,’” Nia revealed to J-14.
“But also they don’t even show everything that happens on the show,” she continued. “So, I mean, other people might say differently but from my point of view, it’s much worse off camera. Nothing changes. That’s just her personality.”
She definitely isn’t alone in her mixed memories from the show. Chloe Lukasiak has opened up about how the show gave her a thick backbone, while Kendall Vertes admits that Abby Lee has “done a lot” for her dancing.
“I’m a huge believer that everything happens for a reason,” the dancer told Entertainment Tonight. “So, I think I was meant to have that good and bad experience, and learn and grow from it. It definitely gave me thick skin, which is crucial for this industry.”
Chloe also shared that she has reconnected with the other dancers on the show since re-joining.
“We left it very weird, so whenever I would see them, we would say, ‘Hi.’ But, it wasn’t how it used to be,” she continued. “But then I went back to the show and we rekindled that friendship.”
We’re so glad that the girls were all able to reconnect, and that Chloe has such a positive outlook on her entire experience on the show.
