ETA: I think this solo is good! I am with you! She is young, and seems to really have matured in the last year. I'm watching with untrained eyes, but I think she is a fantastic dancer and this showcases her talent. I don't think it is fair to speculate why she was chosen to do a solo. However, having said that, I did wonder why it was her, as she has been featured already and many others have not. My only complaint would be that I want to see all of the cheerleaders featured. And who knows......maybe that will happen. 1 7 Link to comment
Popular Post EricaShadows December 26, 2019 Popular Post Share December 26, 2019 I don't like the fact that Victoria gets to be in a THIRD video when others (especially many of the veterans) haven't been in ANY videos. The fact that she's the only other girl to get a solo video makes it even more obvious that they're favoring her over many of the other girls on the squad. I wouldn't mind it so much if she had actual talent above and beyond the other girls and was approaching Gina and Holly P. level of dancing (heck, even the level of Amanda and the second year vets), but she doesn't get height on her leaps and jumps, she's not clean, she doesn't quite finish her lines and extensions, and doesn't have grace or elegance in her dancing. Frankly, go to any high school (and some colleges) and you'll find thousands of girls like her. Go to other colleges or other dance hot-spots and you'll find girls who put her to shame. In fact, all they had to do was show the unedited tapes of semi-finals and it would have been obvious that she was out-danced and out-performed by a LOT of the girls there, enough that she shouldn't have made it out of the second round of auditions. 34 Link to comment

This makes everyone focus on the question: is she deserving recipient of this attention? Without this attention Victoria would be a great, fun cheerleader. Now she under scrutiny and being compared. And we all can see, with our own two eyes, that she is not as pretty as Amanda or Rachel, not as fun as Molly or Kat, not as well spoken as Miranda or Caroline, not as good as a dancer as Jalyn or Gina. If I was Tina Kalina I would ask Kelli to stop ‘helping’ Victoria because she can make it all on her own! 44 Link to comment

(I don't know about her personality but it seems enough of the team like her) I've seen enough of her dancing to know she is NOT a dance risk - at all. She is not in show group & not anywhere near the front of the triangle. I work in this dance business...like full time. I know a good dancer, a sucky dancer, and the ones that get by with tricks...Caroline, Jayln, Hannah, Gina, Erin, and Amber are the strongest dancers from what i have seen. There are the recital school types.. (Amy)..and some that are showstoppers in performance but are not really the technical darings that some may think...Amanda, Bridget, etc (although I like them both a lot) and tricksters like Maddie...(who I do like, seems to be a good, humble leader, but outside of DCC would not get booked) A lot of pro ballet companies are stacked with good, dependable dancers, nice bodies that do not fluctuate in weight, and are needed to fill the vast amount of choreography, and to make that choreography look good. They are not hired to move up in ranks...they are hired for what they are. If I had Kelli's job...there are others I would have on the chopping block before Christina. I remember the fuss about her awhile back because she was making 'excuses' about having an injury in TC. I've been in that situation before...its shitty. You want something so badly, but you literally can't do some of the audition requirements. You have to make a choice. When I run auditions...I'v had dancers cautiously come up to me and explain their injury/issue. In 2 seconds I can tell if it's real or an excuse. If I had been in TC and had an injury, I would keep it to myself and only disclose if it got to the point it was going to get me cut. None of this is new or shocking...its the same scenario being played out in many different types of dance auditions. DCC is an 8 week audition...yikes...that is crazy and completely unnecessary. It's always nice to see an evaluation from someone who is in the business/who has danced for years, who can explain stuff. I danced in HS and was in our modern dance theatre in college, but beyond that, I just dance for fun. I am, by NO means, an expert 🙂 so I leave that up to those of you who are!! 4 Link to comment
