I don’t think any vets will be cut this year either due to the pandemic.  The only way I see that happening is if they really like someone’s look, dance, power and they can get feedback that a new girl can learn choreography really quick.  Otherwise, I see them being safe.  But even if they do cut vets, I thin Kat will be safe.  I don’t follow DCC social media but just from what is shown here, it seems like Kat is very real, kinda goofy, relatable and I think her personality may keep her in.  Not to mention Kelli loves her look and I’m guessing her dancing has improved from last year.  She’s certainly a lot more engaging than Maddie and I can see her being a favorite on appearances. 

I like Kat...she's kind of won me over. She definitely has personality 🙂

Vet of the Year: I'd love to see Heather get it a second time! 

Rookie of the Year: I'm going with Chandi or Kelsey. I think Lily could be a dark horse candidate, since her teammates think so highly of her, and I'm hoping it's not You Know Who.

I'd like to see Bridget, Amber, Ashlee, get Veteran of the Year.  I feel like those were the standouts this year to me. 

Rookie of the Year:  Kelsey or Chandi.  I think Amanda or you know who will get it though lol

Lisa is off-putting. Also, the fact that none of the group leaders gave her a sticker last year when she was clearly one of the better dancers in that rookie class makes me think that’s there’s definitely truth to the “mean girl” rumors. Yet, none of the group leaders from last year seem to be super strong personalities, and Lexie and Alexis, two of the senior members on the team, are both former Mavs, and have themselves been labeled as “mean girls” on here. So, for all I know (and I only know what is posted here), it could just be a situation where everyone was toxic on that Mavs team, and Lisa was just on the wrong side from some current DCCs. Certainly, would not be the first time that’s happened on a team. Who knows however. Dance-wise, there are several girls that should be on the chopping block before her, so if she is in jeopardy, I have to assume it’s due to toxicity/bad team dynamics.

Lily, Meredith, and Kat are who I see at risk.  Kat's in poor taste post making fun of Texan's as hicks when she got her driver's license makes me think she is an ambassador risk and she is not a great dancer.  Meredith struggled all camp last year and Lily still looks frozen.  I like the three of them but if some new people really bring it they could be at risk.  Meredith and Kat are seen as very photogenic however there will be lots of new pretty girls.  Kristen struggled with being soft last year during training camp but she looked fine this year and they like the sign language hook.

I hope the rumors Christina is retiring are true.  I rooted for her in the past but she has had 3 good years.  Her solos and the rest of her final auditions are never great and last year in training camp she was struggling.  She needs to move on with her life.  She has reached her dream and she is not going to be an assistant group leader or show group or move up in the triangle.

Love the comment Lily made about Brianna.  Not the kind of comment I'd expect to see made in regards to Vic.

To be fair, though...VK is 19?  Brianna is 30?  LOTS of time to gain maturity in 11 years.  

She might not ever gain that maturity, but there are a lot of challenging life lessons in that span of time.  And Brianna might just be exceptional in all ways, which is sounds like Lily is pointing out here.  (And good for her!)

This is why I like a balance of ages and lifestyles represented on the squad.  You'll have your spoiled gals who never really had to work and lived in the studio, those without training who just love to dance and share their natural gifts, some grown ass women with careers who are in this for the fitness and performance, instagram influencers, etc.  Variety is the spice.

You make a valid point but I've seen far too much nepotism and allowances made for Vic.  That type of treatment at her age does her no favors.  I also still find it extremely odd she never had any BFFs from the squad photos to share.  I just don't see Vic ever going out of her privileged way to selflessly help someone else.  But that's just me. 🤷‍♀️

I just watched the episode with Alexandra (season 8, maybe?) and they DEFINITELY brought in someone special to work with her hair.  And truly, they should, because extensive training for textured hair is no joke, and you want someone who isn't going to screw up someone's natural hair.  Which takes me back to everyone at Tangerine freaking out about Yuko's hair.  You can tell when people don't get out of their usual wheelhouse very often.  At any rate, I had to snicker at Kelli's level of ridiculous when she was saying it was the first time she had heard things like "unit" and "weave queen."  They've had plenty of ladies with extensions and weaves since she's been doing makeovers, but okay girl!  

Maybe it'll be similar to Savannah.  She'll never be the strongest in DCC style despite her technical background, but has really improved over the years and she blends in just fine.  Plus, great on appearances and probably Camp DCC, etc. as well.

To me, I've not seen as big an improvement for Savannah as I would like. She was called out for mistakes a lot in her second year (when Tara got cut) and still looks super awkward in hip-hop and some contemporary styles.

However, she's good in DCC style and lyrical. I'd say she's like Miranda and Alexis to me; they're all there more for their other attributes rather than for their dance skills.

I think they are definitely the argument to have some "older" girls on the squad. They bring so much maturity to the team and just seem so put together and sure if themselves, class acts.

Lisa will never be cut, she has ingrained herself just as she has previously with the Mavs.  She is the fly in the wall if you know what I mean 😎 .  

Yeah I’ve heard some of that here, I don’t really think she’s at risk from her dancing though. I enjoy watching her, I just worry with some of the rumors that she’s not a great teammate.

Kat is a beautiful girl. Honestly, I was doubting they were going to cut many because of everything going on, but who knows?

Kat has grown on me. I think she has a fun personality, and she beautiful. 
 

VOTY and ROTY I Hope are Amanda (I absolutely adore her!) and Vet I am not sure???  I love Bridget, Gina, Hannah, Brennan, Jalyn, and I’d be okay with any of them. 
 

I’m back in the hospital so I had time to reply. Anyone who has followed “my story” knows it’s been a long four year journey. This is my escape. I don’t see a lot of old faces here, but I hope everyone is doing okay.

I like Jalyn but watching this earlier all I could think about was why didn't she wear a headband of some sort to keep her hair back?  I can't stand to have my hair in my face while washing it.

She is so gracious. Her movements are so refined. I don't know how to explain it, but the way she moves is the same way how dances. So much control. She is such a great dancer. I hope that she knows how much she is appreciated.

Not necessarily.  The director was the mean girl.  A lot of nice girls who were great dancers left because of her.  The new director is a blessing!

I don't get that feeling at all.  She seems super happy in all her recent posts.  She's been cheering for a long time.  My guess is she's ready to get on to the next chapter of her life.  I will miss her huge, but I wish her all the best in whatever her new adventure may be.

Well, within two years, moved to Dallas, broke off an engagement, left her job as a vet tech, started a new office job, left that to get back to her first love, found a new boyfriend and all along, was a DCC.  That's a lot going on:)

I wish all of them the very best. Looking at this list, Bridget is really the only one who I would say was a top dancer. The team should be much better off than they were the last 3 years when they lost at least a few of their top dancers to retirement.

Guys are we sure this retirement list is 100% confirmed? Only announcements that have been made are Amy, Molly and Heather. And Alexis apparently messaged someone she was retiring. As for the others I’m pretty sure no “official” word has been given, just speculation. Correct?

It's not just the top dancer - they are losing gals who were popular with kids in the camps, gals who stepped up when all the drama happened in season 12, and group leaders who are thought of very highly by their groups.

Anyone heard anything about the banquet that is today?  Veteran and Rookie of the Year? 🤔

Since the "virtual" banquet is today, we should HOPEFULLY not only get the VOTY and the ROTY, but we should get a CONFIRMED list of those who are retiring, not just a speculative list.  I would have thought SOMETHING would have been posted by now, but maybe not if all the girls are still "at the banquet".
