Ashley Williams and Nikki DeLoach are getting ready to dance, sing their hearts out, and have a whole lot of fun for a very good cause, and their latest “rehearsal” has fans absolutely cracking up.
Williams recently gave fans a glimpse into their preparations for the upcoming Dance Party to End ALZ, sharing a hilarious video of the longtime friends practicing their moves and reminding everyone just how much fun the two Hallmark favorites have when they’re together. The clip features the pair singing along to Taylor Swift, but there’s an unexpected twist that makes the moment even better.
Williams & DeLoach Show Fans The New Moves They’ve Been Practicing
“The Dance Party to end Alzheimer’s is less than two weeks away!” Williams reminded fans in the caption of her Aug. 31 Instagram reel. In the video, DeLoach is lying down wearing a zip-up jacket while lip-syncing to Taylor Swift’s “…Ready For It?”
“In the middle of the night…” DeLoach sings before suddenly unzipping her jacket to reveal that Williams was hiding underneath there all along, before Williams flawlessly takes on the role of singing along to Swift’s background vocals.
“My life is buzzing,” Williams wrote. She went on to reveal that she and DeLoach are working on their moves (as shown in the hilarious reel), while fellow Hallmark stars Tamara Mowry-Housley, Holly Robinson Peete, Paul Greene, Eliza Pryor, Sarah Drew, Riley Weston, and Melinda Doolittle are rehearsing their songs. Williams continued to get fans hyped for the upcoming event by adding that new costumes are arriving in the mail every day for Jonathan Bennett and Melissa Peterman, who will be the emcees for this year’s event, while new craft cocktail recipes are being tested. “There aren’t enough pajamas in Hollywood,” Williams wrote.
The actress also highlighted the growing list of auction items being added daily. Among the offers are a memory session with Marilu Henner, the opportunity to work with one of Williams’ acting coaches, Adam Kulbersh, “crazy fun random grabs” from Rachael Leigh Cook, and something special for the fans of CW’s hit television show, Supernatural.
“And way way, way more to come in the next week!” Williams wrote, encouraging fans to check out the auction page in her Instagram bio for daily updates. “We love you!”
“Omg that got me. 😂😂 It was like the scene from Alien, but like with a beautiful alien?? 😂” Hallmark alum Danica McKellar commented.

Williams & DeLoach Will Co-Host Dance to End ALZ This Year
Williams and DeLoach will co-host the eighth annual Dance Party to End ALZ on Sunday, Sept. 13, an evening benefiting the Alzheimer’s Association’s research grant program.
The description of The Dance Party to End ALZ reads, “Ashley Williams and Nikki DeLoach will take the stage in Los Angeles to host the Dance Party to End ALZ, the Pajama Party edition! This energetic and inspiring event supports the Alzheimer’s Association’s research grant program, raising critical funds to advance scientific breakthroughs.
