In the episode, Kalani Hilliker will not be performing a solo routine, but she will be part of the group's contemporary dance number titled, "Clowning Around." The routine will rank first place in the teen division, as well as overall.
Previously, the cast of "Dance Moms" have noted that the ALDC have been on a winning streak ever since Season 7 kicked off. Everyone was also pleased with coach Abby Lee Miller's decision to get rid of the Mini Elite team and to just retain two young dancers, Elliana Walmsely and Lilliana Ketchman.
However, the team's winning streak will be jeopardized, and Hilliker, who is being pegged as Miller's new favorite, will also experience her first loss this season.
In the episode entitled "The Fresno Curse," the ALDC will be heading to Sheer Talent in Fresno, California. Hilliker will be paired with Kendall Vertes for a specialty duet called "Tango Para Tres." Unfortunately, the duo will only rank second place in the teen division.
Last week, Vertes became received the highest overall score from one of the competitions. However, this also served as first win as a solo performer in a long time. Even though some of her duets have been successful, some of the moms from the hit Lifetime reality TV show have noted that Vertes is the weakest dancer among the group.
With this, Vertes will be blamed for Hilliker's loss especially since the latter is used to winning at all times now that Maddie Ziegler is no longer around. To make things worse, Hilliker and Vertes will lose to Brynn Rumfallo and Camryn's jazz duet titled, "Snap That."
Luckily, their group routine, "Good Help is Hard to Find" will also rank first in the teen division and overall. Walmsley and Maesi's acrobatic duet, "The Invaders," will rank second in the junior division.
"Dance Moms" Season 7 airs Tuesdays at 8:30 p.m. EST on Lifetime.
