Brittany LoGrasso just posted on IG that she's moving to Vegas, so it looks like she is pursuing the Raiderettes after all. Julissa, Charly, Darah, Trinity, and Abby were all tagged in that IG video from Jenn A's prep class in the DCC studio, along with a few current DCC and: Kayla Hayes - former DCC (unsure if she's taking class for fun or wanting to audition and reclaim her spot) Samatha Moody - former AAIA, current Dallas Sidekicks Dancer Former DCC Maddie also posted a prep class with two ladies: Lauren Chavez (current TCU showgirl) and Kyre Walker. Someone on Reddit also speculated that TCC Kelly Villares from last year would reaudition, and it made me wonder if any other TCCs would be back as well... in their posts at the time they were cut, both Darian and Anisha alluded to making a return, and Ariana was back in Jenn A's class last night. Any other potential candidates? I love seeing other people's lists of possible rookies while we're without a show (although that won't be the case for long!)

Yes, I believe you're referring to the Las Vegas Aces High Rollers! I think saw something about them on IG recently because the Raiderettes' director helped judge their auditions. I think it's awesome that groups like this exist to give people of all ages opportunities to keep dancing :)

Honestly I feel like the Raiderettes are positioning themselves to be "the" team in the NFL overall... they've gone back to holding auditions before DCC this year, meaning girls will have to intentionally choose them over DCC or wait an entire additional audition cycle. Looking at their IG videos from recruitment clinics, they're drawing a lot of talented ladies, including former TCCs Madisyn (2021) and Ariana (2022 & 2023). Plus in their miniseries on YouTube this past year, their director said something to the effect of wanting to be the best team in the NFL. Obviously DCC will always be iconic, but with the community outreach from their studio, their great media team, and the mental health resources they offer their cheerleaders (to name a few things they featured in their mini-doc), the Raiderettes are becoming ~that girl.~ Also speaking of the Dolphins cheerleaders, I wouldn't be surprised if we see more Texas girls headed to Miami soon because of Kashara!

Aw I saw this... disappointed for her, I thought she had a good shot because they were showing her quite a bit on their socials. I hope she can take this coming season to recoup and find a team that will truly showcase her talent! (Or maybe work on growing her pro dancewear business if that's where her heart is at)

Just came here to share this! She looks great - since she started on Mavs I thought NBA style suited her well. And the MHDs are definitely a talented group (with cute uniforms to boot!). I hope she makes it!

I liked the first episode of the Raiderettes' series and what they did last year but I was a bit disappointed with the lack of dancing in this second episode. Someone on Reddit shared this from the Carolina Panthers TopCats team: Looks like they are also doing a web series this year, and they are already showing much more of their dancing and audition process in episode 1. They even show some other things like team bonding and veteran uniform returns if you're interested in that type of content. I'd recommend giving it a watch! ETA: Their coach also has a really fun personality as well :)

Per discussion on Reddit, Charly and Ariana were the final cuts made last night.

Yeah her caption on her post about no longer being in training camp said "And hopefully one day I'll be able to nail the DCC technique and style of dance" and used the hashtag #sickledandsizzlingclub Which to me suggests that she was in fact cut. Her injury may have factored into it (a la Alyssa's cut last year) but at the end of the day I'm thinking it was still a cut. Nothing against her though! Just my observation based on her post.

Yes to Taylor A. from what I heard. Neither Melannie M. nor Mel Park made TC this year but Melannie was at finals. Unsure how far Mel P. made it assuming she auditioned. Alyssa and Bre H. were at finals but not taken to TC. As far as the show/documentary goes, I've also heard that the rumors around Dallas were that it was going to be something similar to Cheer. Perhaps Netflix picked it up after seeing what a success Cheer was?

I think you're thinking of Melanie Parker! She was a TCC two years ago. Melanie M was a rookie on the Allen Americans Ice Angels this year. Don't think she made TC but interesting that Dina follows her nonetheless! From what I know Kayla G from last year's TC auditioned but did not make it to semis this year. Alyssa was seen at finals on the DCC IG story, but I have not heard anything to suggest she did or did not make training camp again this year. I noticed Kelly too when looking at who Dina/the other potential TCCs followed! Just wish they were still allowed to post when they made TC so we could get some official confirmation!

My sources say Melannie was at finals but did not make camp. Alyssa was in TC last year and at finals this year, but I haven't heard anything to suggest she made it back to TC at this point.

This gal posted a story in the navy blue finals audition outfit saying she hoped to be back next year... so looks like she was a finalist but did not make TC!

Bre, Alyssa, Ariana, and Cailey were the past TCCs at finals this year. I'm not sure if Kayla even made semis this year but if so she did not advance to finals.

Just saw some comments on Reddit saying the third vet cut was Kayla.

Not sure about that but it looks like rookie Kali R. has disabled her IG :/
