I don't mind the video of Victoria that much. those legs.....are incredible, but she needs to strengthen her core. everything she has issues with, heaviness, spins, control comes from lack in the core. she needs 2 to 3 hours several times a week of basic barre ballet. not routines, not fun dancing, repetitive technique instruction. the she has potential and certainly the body, but how did she get this far without the basics. Even when I was dancing professionally with stage dancing, I still took daily class in ballet and got yelled at for any bad habits or posture. It sucks. It is boring. But it works. I am glad she is trying other styles of dance but her movement is too loose. It needs to be strong, precise, and controlled for that style. Core and basic barre training.

Change of subject, but did they announce Pro Bowl yet? It is getting kind of late in the season.

...and you never hear of her complaining or bad talking, she really is the total "team" member.

I just wish they would fix the lighting so that the tummies and chests are the same skin tone. In particular Maddie is driving me nuts.

ROTY: Lily VOTY: Bridget Pro bowl: Heather (but will probably go to Amy or Maddie)

by perfect score did K&J mean that all the judges said yes as opposed to actual scores for each part of the audition? Then that would mean that at least 2 judges said maybe or no for Maddie. Is that correct?

Thank you. Looks like Amy will lose some members and Heather will gain one depending on the last cut.

thank you. this helps. 🙂

ok with all of the discussion of past years and TCC mixed together, I am confused. Can we get a list of who has been cut, who is in what group and who is on the bubble just for this year to get caught up please?with pictures if possible. rumors say that final cuts are happening and I am having trouble following. Sorry. On another note, I don't think Heather is the type to mind not being point. She is more of the leader not the star. I wish they had chosen Bridget. She seems to have it all. Victoria will make the team but please Judy, get her some help on her spins. They are wild and dangerous to herself and others. @shellyb is there anything you can do to help this?

VK did fall out of the turn. She needs some technique coaching on turns. She dropped her shoulder and lost her releve'. A dancer should be able to control where they land the free leg and she cannot do so consistently. Mult-revolution turns are some of the most difficult moves to master because it doesn't take much to get out of control.

I have always wanted to see TS done as a diamond with 4 points and each one facing out to all sides of the arena. It would be complicated but they could use each of the group leaders as points and have their groups with them. Just a thought and most likely so far off base this will have TPTB laughing hysterically.

I like all the girls. Some I really love and others I would like to see improve areas. love: Cianna, Ashlee, Caroline, Heather, Erin, Rachel A, Bridget, Alexis, Hannah, Gina need improvements: Maddie - posture, posture, posture, please work on your standing and walking posture, Tess - so beautiful and talented but never seems to really step up and push herself, Daphne - worry about how severely underweight she is, Amy - seems to be coasting/not focused

if we are looking at the the girls in front as point contenders than I would say Heather is the clear stand out from that performance. Amy was off and made errors. Tess didn't stand out. Maddie as ok dancing but her posture drives me nuts when she is standing or walking. How did she get through years of dance training with shoulders rolled like that without an instructor correcting it? In a couple of pictures with other vets, she posture makes her look short and wide and she has a great figure. just my two cents.

does someone have a list of all the show group members from last year? how many spaces opened up due to retirees?

been lurking for years but finally need to ask a question. Don't we normally have confirmation of gl's by this time? This is frustrating.
