Good for her! Would you mind sharing what team?
Nope but suffice to say- she experienced as much as can be as an NFL cheerleader. Traveling, representing abroad, all that one young lady can fit into a 6 year time span. Ending her time with the highest accolade the NFL has to offer. It doesn't matter the team, or the time put in- hard work for the right organization WILL pay off. To any dance moms out there... Let your girls experience rejection. Let them lose. Make them aware of the cost of dance lessons. And when they tell you..."I'm auditioning for the ______...cheerleaders!!! Support them by being present..believing in all the hard work they've put in.. But for the love, don't send them to a big city with all bills paid, no concerns in the world but making the team. It WILL NOT WORK long term. Trust me.

Yes I clearly don’t agree with the school of hard knocks when it comes to saddling your children with debt. I personally believe that if you have kids, helping them pay for school is just part of the gig. My grandparents grew up during the depression, and they set the tone of our entire family- you pay for your kids education. We are a family of successful doctors, nurses, lawyers and business professionals. So I don’t buy into this belief that if you pay for your kids college, they’ll be dependent dead beats who can’t do anything in adulthood. ?
anyway. Sorry mods. Rant over. Back to DCC.
Agree to disagree. Hard work doesn't mean you now qualify to have your bills paid. Hard work is expected generally speaking. College students have the privileges of adulthood. In my opinion that means welcome to adulthood and all that comes with it.

Hard work is instilled. Not rewarded.

Well stated. DH and I did the same for our daughter when she was in college.
Well the way I see it... Make your own way. Paying your child's expenses does nada for real life prep. Good grades,bad grades, whatever. Make your own way. Paying your adult child's expenses leads them to rely on others. This is how my own were raised, and why I'm brought to a site that discusses successful NFL ladies. In our world, its all about working your way up.

Wow to the above, sounds juicy! Was Ashley Paige cut for good due to the bouncing back and forth between KC and DCC?
She just couldn't commit.

That’s fair..... your original post appeared to insinuate that anyone who received parental help couldn’t cut it in the real world. If you were talking about NFL cheerleaders specifically, then that’s my mistake. I personally can’t believe anyone’s parents would support their daughter well into their twenties to cheer in the NFL. My parents would laugh at me!
College vs elective opportunities such as the NFL? Nope. When my child decided to make the NFL her goal, she had to find a way to incorporate it into her college studies+work. This is the equation to a young lady that just might be a stand out NFL cheerleader.

Your full disclosure is not correct. There are 32 teams in the National Football League. Twenty-six teams have cheerleaders. The six teams without cheerleaders are the Buffalo Bills, Cleveland Browns, Green Bay Packers (the Packers do employ a collegiate cheer team for home games), New York Giants, Chicago Bears, and Pittsburgh Steelers.
Meaning ... OF the NFL teams that have cheerleaders... Buffalo Bills unfortunately are the latest casualties.

I think we’re talking about two different Ashley’s here. Ashley Paige? with dark hair was the Kansas City girl, and blond Ashley Pro was the cut DCC.
Ashley paige nearly made DCC but was the last TCC cut. She returned to KC Chiefs auditions. Chiefs said nope. She returned to DCC again only to be grilled about her allegiances to both teams. She confirmed that DCC was her dream but after communication between organizations she was freed of both teams.

Hmmmm, interesting. This could totally explain all the KaShara love this season. Edit Erica out of the show AND glorify KaShara because Erica dumped all over her.
I like it.
Don't apologize! We are all different and your opinion is just as valid as anyone elses. I understand where you are coming from. I am the kind of person that would quit my job in a heartbeat for a family emergency, which is exactly what I did when my brother and dad died 20 days apart 2 years ago. My sister on the other hand, total opposite. She couldn't imagine quitting her job and some how balanced it all, and she did it successfully and with no regrets. To each their own ❤
I love your insider info! Please tell us more!
They rode Ashley Paige hard and this totally explains why. Was her sob story during her panel interview about an ex-fiance in Kansas true? Or was she just making up excuses to explain why she kept bouncing back and forth from KC to TX?
Yes. But either way, we all deal with life challenges. Yes. She wanted to continue her career with the NFL, just not for the right reasons.

I was glad Ashley got cut. There was something about her I could not stand.
In it for the wrong reason. These ladies are dancers with a love of performing but in this particular niche you have to be passionate about your team.

Yes Ashley was pro bowl for KC Chiefs. She left KC for "her job", and showed up at DCC auditions. She was the last training camp candidate to be cut. After the DCC let down, she returned to KC stating that she now had clarity and this was her home. She was shown the door basically. She then went back to DCC declaring that this was an unfinished dream. (Can't make this stuff up). DCC once again took her into training camp basically for drama. Kelly grilled he rover her "allegiances", Ashley cried and was eventually let go due to basically not being authentic.

This just isn’t true. My parents saved and made sacrifices so I didn’t have to work my way through college. I was admitted into a top tier university and kicked ass, because I was able to focus 100% on my studies. I made plenty of mature decisions, and knew there would be consequences if I screwed up.
And honestly, who cares about what Holly’s parents did for her- whatever consequences she faces in life are her problems. You sound kind of bitter.
Well no reason for me to be bitter my experiences with the NFL have been nothing but positive. I do however know for a fact that the young ladies whose parents coddle and raise them to believe they are above reproach normally don't have a long shelf life whether it be in the dance world or anywhere else. Saving for your child's education is hardly comparable to what I'm talking about. When you clearly disregard a legal contract, you have no respect for your bosses or organization. Agree to disagree but I def don't think we are talking about the same struggles. I don't make a habit of commenting on topics that I form an opinion on based on a tv show so I am coming from a place of solid information and experience. I have watched young ladies struggle to work 40 hours a week while juggling an NFL cheerleader schedule and I will tell you with certainty that the ones whose parents financed them even into adulthood so they could do nothing but look good and beat their competitors DO NOT LAST LONG. The ladies that made their own way.. dont get real rattled at real life or hard work. It's what they've been doing all along.

Don't really think you got her point BUT in reference to your point of PBC being better than some dcc that's not true seeing as Ashley who auditioned after being the Chiefs pro bowl cheerleader didn't make it, and from the videos I've watched of Pro Bowl most other teams girls are a hot mess. PBC is more than just the best dancer.
Oh Ashley Paige... Yes she bounced from Kc Chiefs to DCC and begged her way back to Chiefs again. Then DCC. again. She ended her NFL tour back in KC where the chiefs ended her dream after one night, after she showed up in her PRO BOWL WARMUPS to auditions . DCC Let her to go til the last night of tcc before they ended what they knew would be a "no". Chiefs don't have a reality show so they didn't waste her time. If you wonder whether NFL directors communicate...YES, they most certainly do.

How old was Brooke when she made DCC? Meagan Sharp? Sara C? Dara? Abigail? Kelsi? Sydney? Melissa K?
There will always be examples of "girls gone bad" in any situation, but I think the DCC has an alumni to be proud of.
Well Those names are going way back. Based on the amount of DCC applicants and vets..that number isn't real impressive. The NFL is composed of many different divisions.. AFC WEST, NORTH, etc. Hundreds of young ladies perform in NFL stadiums. Every game, every year. Every team elects a team mate to represent prowbowl each year. That number alone outweighs each name you throw out as a DCC vet of some importance. So every probowl cheerleader from all the NFL teams more than quadruples the names you threw out as awesome DCC vets. Full disclosure...there are amazing vets from ALL NFL teams. The list far out weighs that slender list you offered up.

KaSahara said something about her parents doing everything they can to keep her in TX. I assume that would be supporting her or paying her rent.
Do you mean girls who said they'd retire and not go on the shoot? They were able to change their mind about coming back and then go on the shoot? I would think that would cause problems.
Anytime you employ young women that are still getting their bills paid via mom and dad... God luck with appropriate and mature decision making. If you are hired to shake your booty in front of 100,000 fans, and represent the NFL, you need to be an adult with all the responsibilities that that brings. Holly was sent to Dallas as a "kept woman". Do what you have to do to make DCC and don't worry your pretty little head about anything else. That's difficult to compete with when you work a full time job like an adult. But the reality is your competition is full time DCC mode without a care in the world other than looking awesome and killing choreography. Because that'll prepare you for life after NFL thanks mom and dad.

Maybe not a world changer but he pays his daughters bills. Imagine trying to make DCC when you work full time to pay the bills. You're competition is holly. Her daily goal is work out, tan, nails, choreography. When mom and dad are still in the pic... Recipe for immature disaster.

She's got a great body for an average girl on the street but she does not have a great Hollywood body. Hopefully her "big dream" is to be a backup dancer or dance in music videos because I don't see her getting much farther than that. She's not going to be a big star. She's just a pretty girl who can dance. And she is also a girl who can't follow the rules. Unless you're a big star, most companies aren't going to look to highly on someone who can't follow the simplest rules of a contract. I hope she has some amazing connections out there because she's in for quite a reality check if she thinks she'll have the success she had on DCC.
Might be a bit awkward when her parents have to pay for her equity card. Which is the ONLY way you can audition for anyone who's anyone. Holly sure fooled the DCC audience. Daughter of an attourney who CHOSE to drive 2 hours away to a studio because the one that taught her everything she knows couldn't make her the primary and only focus. Every kid counts.

She has a fantastic figure and is an incredibly talented dancer, but Holly has never struck me as the typical Hollywood glam girl. If she wears makeup to accentuate her looks she sparkles, but the typical way the DCC have to pile it on always made her look too harsh in my opinion.
It'll be interesting to see if she gets anywhere out there and if we ever hear about her again besides on her own IG, lol.
When you can only be in a great physique when the calendar comes calling... But In Hollywood?? Oh HECK NO. ALL the time perfection. Hope Holly's mom and dad are ready to pay the maintenance bill... Because that's par for the course for Holly.

I think Dallas is a fairly small pond in which she was a relatively big fish. I think that's why she thinks she can make it in Hollywood...and I swear I'm waiting for her to post that she put the "Holly" in Hollywood! I don't think drinking underage will doom her; what WILL doom her is that stupid "look at MEEEEEE, I'm sooo sexayyyy" expression she has when she dances. If she's trying to be a backup dancer, for example, she better understand that she can't try to outshine whoever she's dancing for. You want to dance for Britney in Vegas (for example)...don't try to out Britney her!
Yep.
She's certainly more toned than I am, but yeah, she better work on losing that belly roll (it's small but it's there) and keeping it off. She'll be up against some really teeny tiny women.
She has Kelsey & Selina by her. I know I screw my seasons up, but didn't they all make it in the same year?
You are spot on about back up dancing. Try the "holly sexy face" or moving forward one inch closer to your star/potential boss while auditioning. And guarantee Holly WILL. Because she is a soloist and on DCC, the best dancer. Not a team player. You can be the most talented dancer in the room but without work ethic and humility good luck. Work ethic doesnt mean showing up to your job on time and with a more expensive spray tan than your team mate. She will be going head to head with hungry (literally, they haven't eaten much less carry designer bags) younger more intense dancers that haven't been busy posting daily pics of themselves in their uniforms. (Many NFL teams don't even allow this) This is partially why DCC attractS sometimes young ladies with the wrong motives.

She was called out about her weight very recently. Holly diets and works out when calendar is upon her. DCC and ALL Nfl pile on the makeup. Holly should've chosen Los Angeles as her run away city. Much more dancer friendly. .

I guess I wasn't clear.
You said that "without integrity and ethics, Holly's super awesome dance skills are just that." I was just pointing out that none of her potential employers in Hollywood are going to care about her integrity or ethics. They will care that she's an incredible technician and entertainer (which she is), that she's beautiful (check to that one too), and that she shows up prepared and on time (easily verified by watching any MTT episode).
To suggest her career is doomed because she she slept with a player and drank while under age is just silly, IMHO.
Beautiful= hollywood standards...Woah whole different playing field. Entertainer??? DCC dancer vs kids that lived their whole life to show their passion in Hollywood? Eek. Showing up on time to work?? Wow. Welcome to the basics of "keeping your job 101."

You know she's going to L.A. right? Where the Kardashians have made their millions, where the Wienstein Company was founded? No one there is going to give two shits what she does with her downtime.
Kardashian and Weinstein names might actually (sadly) carry a bit more weight than a rich dancer from the ozarks that got a big head in Dallas. Just a guess. #lotsoftalenthere.whothenfl?

Yeah, well the company is either going to close or completely restructure, without either of the Weinsteins...just my prediction. Holly has more important people to pursue.

If you are humble and keep your contract agreements, there should be no problem. Unfortunately many young ladies these days were raised to believe they are talented therefore untouchable. Everyone is replaceable. The NFL serves up chances to prove yourself. I've watched this process first hand and unless your dancer has a thick skin... Don't encourage it. In my experience...hard work and authenticity is key. Be true to the team you hope to represent. Know your football knowledge. IF you believe in the process.... You will achieve.
