Allison Holker Says Her New Partner Could Do Really Well On Dancing With The Stars

Thanks to @DWTSgossip for this find! Allison Holker talked with the LA Times about the new season of Dancing With The Stars. She doesn’t tell us who her new partner is, but, she says she’s really enjoying him. Here is more….

“I really enjoy my partner. I think he could do really well on the show,” she raved. “There’s a lot of fight in me this season. I really hope that this year’s ours. We’re definitely going to get up in the finale and we’re going to win the Mirror Ball Trophy this year!”

One of the biggest challenges as a professional dancer on the show is the uncertainty of who your partner is.

“You have to grow a connection with this person. That is your first and foremost job before any of the dance steps before any of the choreography. You have to really understand this person that you’re creating all that beautiful work for and make sure that they feel comfortable,” said Holker.

The 27-year-old explained that one of the hardest parts of the show is to open up and be vulnerable with your partner.

“They become your friends. It’s not faking a friendship—it’s really being genuine and figuring out how you can really grow together as a team,” she said. “For me, you’re kind of a psychologist, you’re a trainer, you’re a mother to someone sometimes and you really take these people into your life.”
