Hallmark Channel star Nikki DeLoach, 46, is known for her on-screen roles where she often portrays characters overcoming heartache. However, when the cameras stop rolling, DeLoach transforms the set into an epic dance party.
In recent Instagram videos from the set of her latest Hallmark movie, "Home Turf," which premiered on October 4, 2025, DeLoach is seen dancing with the crew to upbeat music in between takes. The actress explains that these impromptu dance breaks help keep the energy high and the mood light during the long filming days.
DeLoach's love of dance dates back to her childhood. She was a dancer for 20 years and now realizes that the movement helped her process pain and trauma. "I didn't realize that what I was doing as a child was I was actually moving pain and trauma out of my body," she says. DeLoach continues this practice today, often turning on music at home to get her family dancing and lift their spirits.
The actress is passionate about extending this energy to the hardworking film crews she works with. "These crews work their butts off, and my job is to make sure that while they're working their butts off, they're also having a great time, being treated with respect and kindness, and being fed well," she explains.
