Ally Brooke’s “confidence is booming” thanks to ‘Dancing with the Stars’

She said: “Being on ‘Dancing with the Stars’ has been so transformative for me. You’ve seen me since the beginning, and I’m such a different person now. Even just in this past month, I already feel like my confidence is just booming.

“I’ve had a really hard time believing in my dancing because those mean comments online were so bad and affected me really badly. But the more and more I can progress on the show is a blessing. All I can do is do my best.”

The 26-year-old singer - who, along with her band mates, is currently on an indefinite hiatus from the girl group - has been open about her bullying struggle whilst on ‘DWTS’, and is pleased she can make her family proud as they watch from the studio audience.

She added: “It’s a really special feeling. And for them to cry tears of joy because they see a different person - you can’t put a price on that.”

Ally is “living [her] best life” on the show, and has said she’s “very thankful” for the opportunity.

Speaking to People magazine, she said: “I’m at this place in my life where I’m just living my best life. I’m living in the moment and honestly just trying to be the best person I can be. Whatever happens, happens. I feel like I’m getting so much love right now and positivity that I’m really soaking it all in and I’m very, very thankful.”
