Will Allison Holker Be back For Dancing With The Stars Season 20?
And the fun continues! Happy Thanksgiving, All!!!
For starters today, Allison Holker has written a new blog at In Touch Weekly. She reflects back on the finale and her first season of Dancing With The Stars. The interesting part is that I think she will be back for Season 20 (yay! Love love love her!). Read on…
It’s such a surreal feeling to stand out on the ‘Dancing with the Stars’ dance floor with so many watching — so last night just moments before the show started, I stood on that dance floor and closed my eyes and just listened to the audience screaming and cheering for the show and everything that it brings — which is happiness, hope, and a chance to do something you didn’t think you could do. “DWTS” brings joy and entertainment right into people’s homes, and I am honored to be a part.
Thank you to everyone in the “DWTS” family. You’re truly the best. Season 19 was perfect, and I’m proud of all the work we put out, and congrats to Alfonso and Witney on winning the mirror ball trophy!
What’s next? Well, next season is “DWTS” 10th anniversary! And that will be a celebration you won’t want to miss. See you soon.
More at In Touch Weekly including some pictures of her and tWitch.
I hope Alison is back next season,I absolutly love her! Also hope they give Keo another shot he was eliminated too soon!
I wasn’t a big fan of Allison. She is an incredible dancer but she danced too strongly for Johnathon that he looked awful in comparison. Though I do think she began to catch on because their Jazz was off the hook, and if she’s able to keep it at that level then I’d like to see her back.
I hope allison will be back but before that she needs to work on her technique and learn to showcase her celeb and she has time until march im sure she can be great if she does it
She definitely is a keeper. She had a couple of rough weeks but overall probably one of the best DWTS first seasons I’ve seen.
I think they need more like Witney who can bring the exciting ballroom choreography and not the jazz/ contemporary dancers who know a little about ballroom. I agreed with Corky when he was on after buzz…. I’m not sure she really taught him how to ballroom dance. if she stays, I want her to work on those teaching skills because I don’t really want to see what she did with Jonathan a second time around.
I think the producers need to really think before they cast these girls for season 20…. I think Karina, Witney, Peta, Emma, and Sharna have proven themselves but with how they’ve treated them…. I’m nervous about how season 20 is going to go. I think Witney, Peta, and Emma have spots and Karina hopefully has one too but I’m sick of them getting her out so early every year. And I don’t think spot number 6 should go to Jenna….. She needs to be taken down a notch.
I don’t think they assign partners to the pros thinking when they will be eliminated or if they will win. I think THEY recognize that (besides maybe Derek) the celebs are the point of the show, not the pros. They have to balance the needs very carefully, pros versus celebs. But I definitely don’t think they sit around and say “we’ll give this celeb to Karina so she’ll be out early”. Why would they do that? They strive (and often succeed) to make good personality matches. I don’t think ANY of the female pros have really been treated badly…neither have the men. Now, individual celebs get treated like crap, but I don’t think that has to do with the pro they’re dancing with.
@Megan: It kills me every time that Karina gets elminated early as well but this season she actually had someone who would have gone much farther on any other season. For a big guy, boy was Randy light on his feet. Who woulda thought the scary fighter would be one of the nicest people ever.
After her season with Sean Avery and how bad they scored her with randy…. It just smelled fishy
I don’t know about Allison. I have a lot of question marks. She definitely had problems showcasing her partner instead of herself. Her selection of costumes needs some guidance also. Artem definitely needs help with costumes also. He did NOT dress Lea very flattering. So back to Allison, mixed emotions for me I guess. She didn’t endear herself to me at all.
I think that Allison proved yet again why pros that go right into their first year don’t do so well. We can go back to Lindsay and Gleb, and then to Tyne, on this one. I think she learned near the end how to do better, and I think she has the potential to do better, but she needs a bit of time in the troupe first!
I would be happy for Allison to get another chance because I feel like she has the maturity as a person to look at how things went and to really learn and grow. I’d personally much rather have her then the 2 youngins on the troupe. Also, in the dance world I think she and tWitch are big enough that she’s more of a draw than either Lindsay or what’s her name, Witney can capture that Utah Vibe share of the audience.
While I do think Allison is a great dancer she has a lot of work to do in the ballroom department. I don’t think she’s a good match for this show.
I think Allison is a very talented dancer, but she really shines when she is dancing what she is trained in, and that is not ballroom. I think she belongs on the SYTYCD stage where they LOVE contemporary and jazz and she can choreograph and dance what she is best at. I would love to see her back for Macy’s Stars of Dance numbers though with Derek!
I’m not very impressed with Allison. She is a great dancer but I do think she is not as great as people make you think she is.
There have been many better dancers on SYTYCD over the years, to me she dances very agressiv, alway makes weird sad faces and has no posture (her head seems to lean forward). Plus no technique in ballroom (look at the “Samba” with Jonathan or the Tango where they didn’t travel at all on the floor)and she does not close her feet, very slobby.
I would give Lindsay or Chelsie a spot. Both have ballroom technique and can do Contemperary and Jazz. How should someone teach someone else if they can’t do it themself?
Artdeco Allison is a powerhouse but I think she dances with her soul. You should check out some of her softer contemporary numbers on sytycd especially her times as an all-star.
Debbie I’m a big fan of SYTYCD since season 4. I’ve watch all af Allisons performance and I watched her season back. For me there is just nothing loveley about her dancing. It’s interesting how different people receive dances. For me a powerhouse has nothing to do with making fast or heavy movement and make some sad faces (which I think she does at the softer contemporary numbers). Look at Katherine McCormick or Eliana Girard those are powerhouses, they dance sharp but also soft. Also for example look at Karina next to Peta while dancing Jive with Donald Driver. Karina has power, is sharp and exact with her movement. Peta kinda looks a little wild, agressive and like a dude while dancing.
(I really like Peta and her choreos). It’s just that I think it’s to much “look at me” and “in your face”.
Allison shoud stay on SYTYCD but that’s just my opinion.
I guess this is one of those discussions that boil down to a matter of taste 🙂
I guess so 🙂
I just like good technique and to me Allison has no ballroom technique.
If you’re talking about ballroom specifically then I definitely agree with you that she’s not at the level of the other pros. I doubt anyone would argue about that but when it comes to other styles I think she has a tremendous amount of technique not to mention presence so I think that’s where our tastes vary 🙂
