Allison Holker quotes:

Dance brings out the best in me and makes me feel infinite. It helps me relax and express myself, and it clears my head. Plus, dance keeps me fit!

I believe you can take all experiences and use them as knowledge and fuel to be a better person.

Acting requires risk, and that's what feeling vulnerable is.

Dance keeps me fit! It's been a huge benefit in my life and it will forever be a part of me.

Be how you want to be received.

Our family love is so special, and I truly believe it is due to our work and dedication to communication and patience.

With a clear mind that is reinforcing positivity back into myself and my craft, I am able to focus my energy on the task at hand and enjoy my experiences and day.

I'm growing as an actor and performer every week.

Listen. There's so much to be heard.

Acting. Whenever I am playing a character, I use my real life experiences, which puts me on the line of reliving some of those good and bad times. Acting requires risk, and that's what feeling vulnerable is.

I remind myself: I am the best. I have the best. And I deserve the best. This is one of my personal mantras that I tell myself every morning before auditions, character work, and performances.

Before all, you need to know who you are, what you believe in, and what you stand for. Be how you want to be received.

I have a mantra of my own that has helped me through the most chaotic of times. I remind myself that: I am the best, I have the best, and I deserve the best.

Through all hardships there is a lesson to be learned.

I happen to be a very passionate person, so when I first feel emotional pain, I take it very hard. I'll more than likely have a mild breakdown for a few moments, but I allow myself to feel these emotions, release them, and learn to use that hurt as my strength for change. I believe that you can take all experiences and use them as knowledge and fuel to be a better person.

Even on the most tiresome of days, I need to give my daughter and husband one hundred percent of my energy. They deserve that love, and in the end, it only fuels my energy.

The importance of patience and communication. Having a child and husband, working crazy and unpredictable times for shows, and traveling to teach dance around America can make life a bit stressful. I have had to learn to communicate with everyone attached to my life no matter what the circumstance.

I remember that through all chaos or problems, there is a solution. So I separate myself for just a moment, whether that means zoning everyone out or taking a little walk to get some fresh air. I take this time to clear my head, breathe and reassess the problem and how I'm feeling.

My most recent project has been acting and dancing on VH1's TV series Hit the Floor. On the show, we perform at least one dance number an episode. They are all different themes and different dance styles and keep us literally on our toes. The show is exuberant, exciting, and full of scandal. Tune in and I know you'll get addicted.
