>>> WE ALL LOVE STEPHEN "TWITCH" BOSS, THE DEEJAY, DANCER AND TV PERSONALITY WHO TRAGICALLY PASSED AWAY IN DECEMBER 2022. SINCE THEN HIS WIDOW ALLISON HOLKER BOSS HAS BEEN RAISING THEIR THREE YOUNG CHILDREN ON HER OWN. >> NOW ALLISON IS CELEBRATING STEPHEN'S LEGACY WITH A CHILDREN'S BOOK THEY CO-WROTE BACK IN 2021, CALLED "KEEP DANCING TRHOUGH." WE ARE SO HAPPEN YOU ARE HERE, ALLISON. YOU KNOW, WHEN WE SAID DECEMBER WAS WHEN HE PASSED, STRUCK ME THAT WAS JUST WEEKS AGO. HOW DID YOU MARK THE MOMENT OF HIS PASSING? >> YOU KNOW, 2023 FOR OUR FAMILY WAS REALLY DIFFICULT. IT WAS VERY HARD. AND I ALWAYS LIKE TO GIVE MY YEARS WORDS. IT WAS A CHALLENGE. THERE WAS SO MUCH CONFLICT AND CONFUSION. STEPPING INTO 2024, IT REALLY FELT LIKE A BREATH OF FRESH AIR. IT'S FELT LIKE A RELEASE. AND IT FEELS LIKE WE HAVE A CHANCE FOR A NEW BEGINNING AS A FAMILY TO UNDERSTAND AND LEARN AND GROW, BUT TO ALSO STEP INTO SOMETHING THAT IS JUST A NEW VERSION OF WHO WE ARE NOW. >> I WOULD IMAGINE THERE WAS ONLY ONE CONVERSATION FOR SO LONG. >> YEAH. >> YOU KNOW? AND THERE COMES A TIME, NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE, NO MATTER WHAT SETTING YOU ARE IN, SUDDENLY THERE IS A DIFFERENT CONVERSATION. IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT HIS PASSING. >> TRULY, IT REALLY IS. IT WAS ABOUT SIX MONTHS BEFORE I ACTUALLY, MYSELF, DANCED. AND THAT'S WHY FOR ME THIS MESSAGE OF KEEP DANCING THROUGH IS SO SPECIAL BECAUSE IT TOOK ME A SECOND. IT TOOK ME -- >> AND YOU ARE A DANCER. >> IT'S WHAT I DO. IT'S MY PLACE OF HEALING AND COMFORT. AND IT TOOK ME A VERY LONG TIME TO EVEN HAVE THE COURAGE TO DO IT FOR MYSELF. THEN WHEN I DID, I JUST FELT SO MUCH FREEDOM AND MY KIDS WERE THERE FOR ME AND CELEBRATED WITH ME. MY DAUGHTER, WHO IS HERE WITH ME TODAY, WHO IS LOVELY, WAS AT MY SIDE WHEN I FIRST DANCED. THIS MESSAGE OF "KEEP DANCING THROUGH," WE HAVE TO SPREAD THAT. IT GOT ME THROUGH. IT'S GETTING MY KIDS THROUGH IT NOW. IT'S BEEN SO WONDERFUL. >> IT'S LITERALLY DANCING BUT ALSO HAVING OPTIMISM IN THE FACE OF DARKNESS, AND THE FACT THAT YOU PUT IN BOOK OUT, YOU WROTE IT WITH YOUR HUSBAND IN 2021. THERE MUST HAVE BEEN PARTS OF YOU DO I PUBLISH THIS, DO I NOT. WAS IT A HARD DECISION? >> IT WAS BECAUSE THERE WERE MOMENTS WHERE SELFISHLY I WANTED TO HOLD IT JUST FOR US. IT WAS THE LAST PROJECT WE WORKED ON TOGETHER. >> ALL ABOUT YOUR FAMILY. >> YOU I CAN'T. IT'S FOLLOWING A DAY IN OUR LIFE. WHEN I READ IT BACK LAST YEAR, I WAS, LIKE, THIS MESSAGE IS TOO BIG TO NOT BE SHARED. AND QUITE LITERALLY FOR MYSELF AND FOR MY KIDS, THE ONLY THING THAT I CAN DO IS I HAVE TO KEEP DANCING THROUGH. I HAVE TO KEEP GOING. >> YOU HAVE NO CHOICE. >> SO I WANTED TO SPREAD THAT AND GIVE THAT BACK TO EVERYONE ELSE AS WELL BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE TO DO. >> IT'S LIKE THE THING THAT GIVES YOU LIFE AND GIVES YOU JOY. SOME PEOPLE TURN THAT PART OF THEIR LIFE OFF IN GRIEF. THAT HAPPENS. SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS FOR YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS. WE ARE LUCKY ENOUGH BECAUSE YOU BROUGHT YOUR DAUGHTER HERE, TOO. SHE IS HERE. I THINK SHE IS THERE SOMEWHERE. >> LESLIE! >> NOW, WESLEY, ARE YOU RELUCTANT GUEST? HAPPY TO BE HERE? >> I AM HAPPY TO BE HERE. >> I THINK YOU HAVE BEEN SUCH A BIG PART OF YOUR MOM'S HEALING. I MEAN, YOU'RE A 15-YEAR-OLD KID WHO IS HEALING, TOO. HOW HAVE YOU BEEN DOING? >> I THINK WE RELY A LOT ON EACH OTHER AND THROUGH THE SUPPORT OF BEING A FAMILY WE HAVE WILLING WORKED HARD AND WE HAVE GOTTEN TO THE PLACE WE ARE NOW. AND WE ARE HAPPY. >> YOU'RE AMAZING. >> REALLY ARE. >> INCREDIBLE. >> THANK YOU. WE HEAR Y'ALL ARE GOING TO VIBE A LITTLE? >> YEAH. >> ARE YOU GOING TO VIBE WITH US? >> WE DON'T KNOW HOW TO VIBE. >> BUT WE CAN TRY. >> WILL YOU SHOW US FIRST? >> WE ARE GOING TO GO FOR IT. STAND UP WITH US. >> WESLIE, DO YOU GET THE SAME THING OUT OF DANCE THAT YOUR MOM GETS? >> I AM NOT A DANCER. I AM SUPPORT. >> I TELL EVERYONE DANCING -- SOMETIMES PEOPLE OVERTHINK IT. IT'S JUST WALKING WITH A VIBE. IT'S WALKING WITH STYLE. >> IS THAT IT? >> WALKING WITH STYLE. WE JUST ARE GOING TO DO THIS. >> YOU MAKE THAT LOOK -- >> HEY. JUST WALK IT BACK AND FORTH. KEEP DOING THAT FOR A SECOND. THERE YOU GO. >> I DON'T KNOW. >> UH-HUH. YEAH. >> WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WE ARE DOING, BUT WE ARE HAPPY. >> MOVE OUR ARMS. GO LIKE THIS. >> HEY. >> SEE? >> HEY. >> OH, WESLIE, GO, WESLIE. >> YOU ARE AMAZING, ALLISON. BY THE WAY, YOU ARE ABOUT TO BE BACK ON YOUR TELEVISION SHOW? >> YES. >> I AM A JUDGE ON "SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE". I HAVE BEEN A DANCER, CHOREOGRAPHER, ALL-STAR, NOW A JUDGE, FEELS SO SURREAL. I AM SO EXCITED. THE DANCERS WE HAVE AUDITIONED THEM, THEY ARE DOING WONDERFUL. IT'S LIKE A RESURGENCE OF THE SHOW. >> SO JOYFUL. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK
