DFWBelle

Squad announced tonight

Well hold on. All three of them danced together on the 2009 TCU Showgirls Fiesta Bowl team. Just Emma left the team that year to pursue the DCC while still in college. Kelsey and Jordan finished school and tried out after they graduated. Kelsey was cut at semis her 1st try for messing up the dance. I still would say all three were in the same time frame.

Kelsey Bond and Jordan Daigle, made it the same year. Kelsey is a year older than Jordan and they were roommates for a year at TCU. Before that Emma Dutton.

The rumor that Mallory Mills is not nice is absolutely correct. Her and her mother are absolutely cut throat in the dance world. This is decades old dirt a this point.... Mallory went to Rowlett High School and was captain of the JV Drill Team the Rhythmettes. Her Senior year another girl (I believe her name was Natasha) beat her for captain of the Varsity squad (the Silver Rhythm Dancers) and Mallory got 1st Lieutenant. Mallory and her mother threw the biggest fit (rumored to have threatened to sue) and she was then awarded co-captain. The only time in the school's history there were two captains. That story has been passed down at Rowlett HS for years.

Don’t get too excited about Sheridan. If you don’t like Clemson DCC Rachel you won’t like Sheridan. She’s umm... interesting. I’ll let you find out for yourself when you watch on TV.

Called it! Sheridan Donevant tried out. TCU Showgirls Sheridan, Alexa, Lauren all made finals @sheridan.donevant, @alexamay17, @lauren_ligon

Yawn I took a nap. Storms in DFW. #222 next to Victoria is former TCU Showgirl Alexa May @AlexaMay17

I don't think Christina is as talented dance-wise as Gina. I don't see a problem with her look, I find it unique. Cami is stiff. She's beautiful, has friends in the DCC organization, and has a large social media following. If she were to try out again she would be a dance liability but it may be a risk they're willing to take.

Of the TCU Showgirls graduating this year, I am putting my money on Sheridan Donevant and Esther Pae (two/three captains) auditioning. Esther was at DCC prep classes last year. Sheridan is the former MAO Teen Texas 2013 and has done modeling shoots with DCCs. Sheridan posts a lot and has hinted in the past about wanting to earn a pair of white boots in her posts. https://www.instagram.com/p/BkG0u76jBcr/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BHdMV5SBdZK/ @sheridan.dovevant @esther_pae (private)

I can't stop looking at Gina. She steals the whole shot...

Someone told me to "watch the show, it will change your perspective of the VK situation" months ago. Now that I've watched the whole thing, the cut has been broadcast, my opinion is no different. If I were Judy, Shelly, or Jinelle I would feel uncomfortable in many ways about how Kelly treated Victoria and feel undermined as an employee. While Victoria is a good dancer in many styles and did improve in the DCC style as training camp went on, she was by no means top 36 and should not have made training camp based on her audition (i.e. falling out of turns multiple times). The moment Victoria blew off Jinelle and had that horrendous encounter with her in the office she should have been excused from training camp. Others have been given the boot for much less, Kendall from not going to extra sessions with mentor Melissa, etc. For Victoria's weight, attitude towards Jinelle, and locker room toxicity to not be addressed in her cut is wrong when you look at how harshly Kelly spoke to Dayton and Kristen this summer. When Victoria enters the real world she's in trouble because adults have been doing a serious disservice to her by coddling her.

"You will not make this team just because you're someone's daughter" Kelli to Dayton I sincerely hope Kelli had the same exact conversation with Victoria.

Maddie's right kick looked fine, her left kicks were bad... Victoria, extremely messy on the field. If she can't turn in tennis shoes on the field imagine in boots! She needs college pom first. They said Selina is 14 pounds heavier than the year prior. Keyra missed an appearance and was late to a Star performance. Jessika WHY

Thank god! An account made two hours ago to tell me what’s up ? This will change my mind about Victoria.

Victoria: "soft and sloppy," Charlotte "I have the opposite" Kelli "I have double checks and wouldn't want to dance next to her in my group"

Lindsey Waldrop froze/had bad kicks, Madi (DSIG) froze, Paris froze, Erin froze. Riley from OU was in the "unpleasant faces" montage.

It amazes me every year how many women either can't kick or forget the kickline. The entire kickline can be seen in full on youtube. You have an entire year to prepare. There is no reason why you should come into semis, finals, and training without perfect kicks and splits. If you know kicks are a problem for you, you should have been working with someone specifically on that portion. There are girls onscreen who can't comfortably slide into the splits. This is a dance audition. I don't get it!

Titans Bri looks great, OU Riley is cute but probably not DCC glam, Daphne has perfect kicks to the nose/love the backstory of not making the UCLA dance team and coming back to become captain. Lindsay Brady from TCU is perfect. Meredith's eyes are beautiful!!! I hope Erin has more power, I know that clip was short but it was soft. It wasn't choreographed so I hope she makes it this year. Brennan looked the strongest out of the Erin/Madeline/Brennan clip. Madeline looked more mature but her technique looked shaky- her foot was flexed before she kicked it to her nose.

Highlights before the first commercial break- 400 applications this year, not in the chairs. Shelly has been featured with Dayton, Shelly walking around with Nick checking in with people warming up. "My mom struggled with her weight when she was a cheerleader so that's something I'm going to be conscious of." Cut to Victoria with Cowboys Fit, bragging about $20,000 dance scholarship from middle school. I really tried not to look anything up before the show on her but we're not even 15 minutes in and I'm done!

Less than 30 seconds in, Victoria Kalina is screaming on screen with her mother in the car...hate her on my screen already
