"I started dancing when I was two," she told BuzzFeed.
"My mom asked my dad if she could sign me up for dance classes, and he told her 'no' because it was too expensive. But she signed me up anyway," she said.

After years of tap, jazz, lyrical, and ballet, Allison got more interested in hop hop when she moved to LA.
"When I first moved to LA, I got a little discouraged because you go from being big fish in a little pond to a place where everyone's a big fish," she said. "But you have to be confident in yourself."

When it comes to rejection, she keeps her head up.
"It's not like I've never heard 'no' before," she said.
