Now, she has garnered the courage to do so, as seen by her recent dancing clips on social media. She posted one on August 23, dancing with her daughter, Weslie, to the remix of Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On."

Three days later, she shared another video of herself on TikTok and Instagram, boogying with her friend Brittany Russell to "Bomb Intro / Pass That Dutch," a song by American rapper Missy Elliott.

Holker wore all-black outfits in both videos, possibly indicating she was still mourning her husband. Despite this, she had a radiant smile, showing her determination to navigate her grief with strength and positivity.

It's no surprise that Holker took a long time to return to dancing, as it was something she shared with her late husband.

They often performed together on the dance reality show "Dancing with the Stars." They first appeared on the show in season 16 and subsequently participated in seasons 21, 23, and 25.

The duo also performed in "So You Think You Can Dance" season 2 and in the all-star version of the show.

On several occasions, they shared dance videos of themselves on social media and sometimes featured their kids, a son, Maddox, a daughter, Zaia, and another daughter, Weslie, from Holker's previous relationship.

Honoring Boss' memory, Holker plans to release a children's book, which they began writing in 2021, per People. It is currently available for pre-order but will hit the shelves on January 16, 2024.

"I'd always had a dream of coming out with a children's book. It was from years ago when I had Weslie," Holker said about the book Keep Dancing Through: A Boss Family Groove.

She added, "Then a couple of years ago, I was like, 'Let's do it!' Let's show who we are and put it in story form…' It's something that I hope really can be seen by people and is our true essence as a family."

In February, Holker and her children also started a foundation, Move With Kindness, in Boss' memory to help individuals with mental health issues access needed resources.
