Totally Team Erin! She looked great....

yes to all...and the choreography looks forced with her. (translation: not comfortable looking)

I really liked Dayton...so pretty and has a natural, effortless style to her dancing. She also seems very laid back and sensitive in the very best way. DCC, in its current training camp format is like a hazing- not a good fit for some personalities. She would be a wonderful DCC and well liked by all. I hope she does try out when the show goes off the air. Until then, I hope she pursues other avenues that she would shine in. She and Madeline S. have that ingenue look and talent that do very well in NY and other markets, which is not something I can say about a lot of the current DCC's. Some, yes, but only handful. (none in the current triangle) There is something to be said about a quiet radiance that you can't fake....

I rarely comment on body shots...but omg....a body to die for. Gorgeous...she, Jaylyn, Rachel A, Rachel W,Alexis, and my favorite Erin -are very sexy and in my personal opinion, classy as well.

agree completely...its distracting to see these in lobbies/hallways, and filmed at weird angles. I think they are trying to be edgy but its not...lol...

yep....i think Molly look the best and most at ease with the choreography.

Why in the world would this beautiful girl do this? She didn’t seem the type to fall for this....her lips were already pouty and naturally full...

my 2 favorites!

I'm pulling for Meredith or Chandi...

I'm pretty sure the Joffrey Ballet in Dallas is only a summer intensive? The Joffrey school almost went under awhile back and is now very much a business....they still attract good dancers because of the name but it's really full of modern/Broadway types, as well as ballet. Teens that are going to Texas for ballet intensives usually have Houston Ballet as their goal. I think the mix of styles is a good move and update for Joffrey, as even in NY, most dancers just want to get into their company, not have to go through the ranks of the school. (It's kind of like a family that had old money and prestige - but lost it, and is now riding on the family name!)

I could only watch 10 seconds...I just can't...

You are too funny!

Most serious dancers compete for the teacher's corrections and attention. They LOVE getting corrected, as the teachers/choreographers, etc will gravitate towards the talented. Dancers do not expect tons of praise either....and when praise is given, it really means something. Yes, even being strict. By the way, I'm not taking about the 7 years olds that I teach. For them, I distribute an even amount of attention and use corrections in a manner that is appropriate. It's the older students, especially the ones on a more serious track.

If you watch Amber in the back, her use of arms is very good, controlled and really in sync with the choreography. It's subtle but noticeable....she's such a nice balanced dancer!! (the girl in front center was annoying and reeked of 'trying too hard'....which is always uncomfortable for the viewer) The girl in front to the right...she looked like Kali from a few years back?

Amber is really strong...very precise. Nothing against any of them but as there is so much critiquing Victoria...my observations are: she's a perfectly fine 'DCC style dancer' with a background in 'lyrical' classes, jazz, etc...where she executes the same series of steps/combinations over and over. These are the same sequences that are shown in solos, DCC in Motions, etc...and I suspect in competitions. Her technique is pretty standard of many girls in countless dance studios. (this is not a dig) She has very pretty legs (her best feature) but I can't help noticing she doesn't pull up supporting leg much and has trouble with transitions (from seeing her in several areas/clips, etc) This is certainly why her turns are hit or miss. Her alignment in the air with some of her jumps (especially the turn with attitude) is awkward and even her feet are borderline sickling at times. But she's fine for what this is....(DCC) A lot of dancers want instant gratification with their training...learnng tricks, jumps, etc...and not really getting that being a well trained dancer is an INSIDE JOB. As far as the whole DCC in Motion...I think it's just a platform for the girls to have more performing opportunities to showcase their dancing. The choreography was simple for this latest one but I liked the casual clothing and the big openess of the "stage". It also suited the girls' ability. (The one with Gina, Bridget, and Lisa was a little uncomfortable to watch...as Lisa was out of her element and the whole trio looked like they were dancing in a hallway...) Love that there are so many opinion here!
