The 19-year-old will move from Alpine to undertake a diploma of dance at The Space Dance and Creative Arts Centre, Melbourne.

Lani will leave behind a life of familiarity, namely her family and horses.

The move signals the end of an era for Lani and the Southern Highlands Vaulting Team.

Despite her age, Lani is a stalwart of vaulting, having taken up the sport 15 years ago.

Lani and her mum Kerri Wilson have almost "run" the club for the past five years.

The pair has coached the team and some club events have been held at their Alpine property.

Highlights have included hosting a 10-day intensive camp for some of Australia's best junior vaulters earlier this month.

The aim of the camp was to put together a squad to compete at the Junior World Vaulting Championships at Errmelo, Netherlands.

Lani said her family was proud of what they had achieved at their property.

"It's our club," she said.

Over the past 15 years, Lani has made a big impression in vaulting, including on the international scene.

In 2010, she was part of the first Australian team to compete at the World Equestrian Games.

The Aussies finished 10th overall and Lani performed well.

Two years later, Lani competed as an individual at the World Vaulting Championships.

Lani can't remember her results, but said the championship was a "good experience".

But Lani's biggest achievement hasn't come while competing.

The Southern Highlands Vaulting Team consists of nine athletes, but only three live in this region.

Lani has been proud to coach Highlanders Riva Pietersz, Bella Napthali and Emily Jones.

The rest of the team is made up of juniors from surrounding regions and Sydney.

"There is a lot of talent down here," Lani said.

"Riva, Bella and Emily have done amazingly well.

"I will miss it here - I won't have my horses anymore and I am close with these kids."

However, Lani will continue to offer tips for the Southern Highlands team.

Lani said dancing was a huge aspect of vaulting and she hoped to pass on knowledge to the local team.

"I have been dancing at The Highlands Schools of Performing Arts since it opened and it was through vaulting that I became interested in the performing element," she said.

"Dancing and vaulting has gone together and I'm interested in expanding my knowledge.

"I want to bring back dance elements to the team."

Lani said she hoped to see more Highlands vaulters progress to the top level and also represent Australia in the future.

"When these kids go overseas and compete, it will open a whole new world to them," she said.

"It's an amazing opportunity."
