Career

Allison Holker began her career at The Dance Club in Orem, Utah, where she performed in the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.

Her breakthrough came in 2006 as a Top 8 contestant on the second season of So You Think You Can Dance, leading to roles in Disney’s High School Musical (2006) and High School Musical 2 (2007) as a cheerleader.

She toured with the SYTYCD Season 2 cast and performed alongside artists such as Earth, Wind & Fire, as well as in the tap shows “Revolution” and “Ballroom with a Twist.”

Her early choreography included work for American Idol’s Clay Aiken and the 2011 X Factor USA with Brian Friedman. Holker’s profile rose with her return to SYTYCD as an All-Star in Seasons 7–11 and 14 and as a judge in Season 18 (2024).

She joined Dancing with the Stars as a professional in 2014, partnering with Jonathan Bennett (9th place, Season 19), Andy Grammer (7th place, Season 21), and Babyface (11th place, Season 23), earning a 2013 Emmy nomination for choreography with Derek Hough.

Her social media presence grew, with dance videos alongside her late husband, Stephen “tWitch” Boss, whom she met on SYTYCD, amassing millions of views. She co-hosted Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings and launched her dancewear line, Creative Kin, in 2017.

In 2023, she resumed dancing after a hiatus, performing with her children in celebration of National Dance Day. Holker remains a prominent figure in dance and media, leveraging her 3.6 million Instagram followers to secure brand deals, which now form the bulk of her income.

Her 2024 children’s book, Keep Dancing Through: A Boss Family Groove, co-authored with Boss, and her memoir, This Far: My Story of Love, Loss, and Embracing the Light (2025), reflect her resilience following Boss’s death in 2022.

As a judge on SYTYCD and host of the “Between Us” podcast with her daughter, Weslie, she continues to inspire through dance, advocacy for mental health via the Move With Kindness Foundation, and her evolving influencer career. Her legacy is defined by her ability to channel personal loss into creative expression and have a profound impact on the community.
