I think VK is incredibly fortunate to have a mom interested and involved.   I guess it could get aggravating but VK seems to handle it well.   I would have loved to have 1/100th of that interest by my parents.   They had their own challenges just putting food on the table so I don't blame them.

When Kat made that comment....she lost me...I could tolerate her crazy up until that point.  Now...she can go away.

I wasn’t going to comment, but Kat’s post pushed me over the edge.

I’ve lived in GA most of my life, with the exception of the grade-school years (I’m actually from the Northeast).  Then, for a few years in 2015, we lived in the Mountain West where I was a ski instructor in a very liberal resort town. (Bear with me, mods, this point is relevant to Kat’s ridiculous comment.)

As a GA transplant out West, I was often referred to “good naturedly” as a redneck, not because I had a southern accent (remember, I didn’t get to GA until high school and largely have no accent thanks to being a part time professional actor).  If anything, I got that designation because of my conservative Christianity; in that town, you’d have a better chance of encountering a moose than you would a conservative Christian.    

Clearly the “redneck” designation means different things to different people around the country, and my recent experience has led me to conclude that people who see themselves as more “cosmopolitan” or “progressive” in their worldview think it’s cute and clever to label others, even entire population demographics, with that descriptor.

It appears that Kat thinks her particular demographic spares her from being confused with a “redneck”, regardless of being a self-professed Christian from the Carolinas.

Dear Kat:  Please stop advertising for God, as it makes people think that all believers go around claiming similar nonsensical things.  You’re doing us no favors.

Seems Amanda and Daphne went along too. I hate to say it because I love her, but Amanda just looked tired and weak.

Daphne, on the other hand, looked strong and powerful with a special pop to her. I think it's in one of their stories somewhere.

This. I think Amanda looks a little soft. Not a lot. Just a little. But it’s something I’ve noticed recently.

I also saw Amanda Dilks dancing.

Perhaps I am imagining things but I think I saw Gina Marie Campagna dancing behind Sarah!

I wish she (Gina Marie) could come back like Erin after being (rightfully) cut!

Yeah, there’s a clip of Lexie, Miranda, Daphne, and Amanda dancing for all the hopefuls at that class, on Sarah’s IG Story I think. Should be in someone archive somewhere if it’s disappeared already. 
 

Gina Marie has been to lots of prep classes and working her butt off; she’s still not my favorite power-wise but I would love to see her audition again. Taking class from Sarah and Jenn is a great way for her to work on the power thing!

I’m sorry but this isn’t something i’d wish on anyone. She is obsessed with making her daughter a dcc and VK ended up having no other goal or skill in her life. A normal parent would realize that she’s not talented enough to become a pro dancer, so at the very least she should be going to college in hopes of having an actual career. It’s 2020, if your only goal in life is to be a cheerleader and then a trophy wife, then something went seriously wrong.

It sounds silly but is she dancing too much? She's been in so many prep classes compared to every other current DCC so maybe she needs to just rest! I highly doubt she'd get cut unless there are some problems BTS.

Extra attention also brought on by CMT creating a storyline "comparing" the two legacies.  Dayton said she would never audition again unless the show was over and I can see why.

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....

This is exactly it. Both Dayton and Madeline are the kind of natural, genuine beauty that DCC needs. Not only are they both fantastic dancers but they certainly seem more approachable and natural than some young ladies who appear to be cosmetically constructed. I'd much rather see them on the team and watch them perform.

I absolutely think that they are great dancers, wonderful team members and great ambassadors. Gorgeous too.

However, if Dayton can’t remember the dances and completely falls apart when she has to do the routines without the mirror or without someone in front of her, (with all the time and availability of her mom teaching her the dances) something tells me that the DCC is not entirely her thing. The question is whether she could remember the dances without the cameras.
Also, from the power projection perspective, she was not able to shine. Judy is also very shy but she was able to step up and own it, so if she could do it, being laid back, shy and reserved is unfortunately not a valid reason for Dayton not making the team.

I really liked Dayton and I was very sad to see her go. I wish she could come back and make it.

While I agree that Dayton isn’t a good fit, I don’t think it’s fair to compare her to Judy. During Judy/Kelli’s time on the team the routines were extremely basic and they didn’t have the jumbotron nor the show. Dayton would for sure have made it back then too.

I don't know the young lady other than following her on IG, but my opinion on Dayton is that DCC was not her dream...and maybe never was.  I love following her...she is a beautiful dancer, a beautiful person and seems to be genuine with her personality.  She seems to be happy with her upcoming move to Houston (unless that's changed) and I hope things go well for her! 🙂

Oh and look who’s featured!  Why am I not surprised?

Yeah these need t o come with a Veruca disclaimer I mean seriously I’d be over the team if I were the other girls there are what 37 of them yet she’s featured most times note to tptb just bc you’re constantly shoving Veruca down our throats does not mean we’ll suddenly endorse her in fact it’s making me dislike her all the more...

Looks like she has been hitting the milkshakes again . . .

Good news is that her teeth/inability to close her mouth/way too obvious mouth breathing is quite distracting, I wouldn’t even check below the teeth level had you not posted it.

in other news, Caroline’s new hair colour is aging her. What is going on?

Make that two less particular people.  

I don't like to really make too many negative comments, but Caroline was the only one who really had any pop in that tik tok...and I agree about the hair...it makes her look older than she is....So does Kat's.  Her hair is AWFUL..even if it is a styled wig...it's awful.  She needs to go back to her dark hair days from a few years ago.

Okay y’all I’m literally obsessed with this video - I want to learn this choreo!! It seems like so much fun and the ladies clearly had a blast working on it. 
 

That said - it was so unfair to put Lily and Meredith next to Lexie in small groups. Next to no pop or “boss” attitude whereas Lexie was slaying it. I was pleasantly surprised by how well Rachel W adapted to this style; it doesn’t feel like her kind of combo but she killed it. Kristin too. I hope we get more videos out of this class because I’d love to see some of the groups do the whole thing.

That IS a cute picture, I will admit, but I seriously doubt that Shelly and Dayton would have been afforded the same moment given how much Kelli seemed to actively dislike Dayton when Dayton was in Training Camp.  EVERY little thing Dayton did wrong was pounced on and she didn't seem to EVER get praise when she did something good, even from the guest choreographers.  I suspect that Kelli didn't want any competition for Victoria in the legacy department, especially from a legacy that could out-dance and out-perform Victoria on every front.  I just wish Dayton and Shelly had gotten the chance TO share that moment because Dayton would have been an AMAZING DCC despite what Kelli thinks.

Can we all agree that Dayton is our forever favorite ❤️

Jen colvins classes seem like so much fun 

Can I just say that I am surprised that America’s Sweethearts were allowed to dance to a song that had to censor out “bitch” over and over again? Bit of a bold choice...

 

Also the choreo was really cool and unique—not like what they normally do. I just couldn’t get over those awful faces that Maddie was making.

Consider me on the obsessed train with that choreo and video! Agree about Maddie's faces, and while I know she was exaggerating on purpose, I've always disliked her pagent-y performance faces. They are just too cheesy and cutesy while also being really unattractive to me. All the ladies killed it, and while I'm rooting for Lily to make it back, she was the only one who didn't seem to nail it in every frame. She looks great in the post picture, though! Natural and fun. Even Meredith was performing closer to the level than Lily. That said, I have seen Lily shine brighter since she made the team and maybe she still is a slower learner and just wasn't as confident with Jen's choreo. Funny, I didn't even realize no VK. How refreshing.

FUN choreography and it looks just as fun to perform.  Certainly different than all the vanilla, safe choreography that they normally do.  They can do something different while still holding to tradition.

And no VK!!  Nice to see other girls.

I made it almost all the way through the video and then realized this exact thing.  It was refreshing to see other girls letting loose and having fun without Victoria shoving her mug in front of the camera every second and trying to dominate the pictures.  Still, I wonder how she would have done.  This looks trickier than she's probably used to and it actually has TURNS!  Maddy facials were hideous.  She doesn't look pretty, but looks like a small dog with a serious under-bite and other jaw issues.

If she does, she doesn't let on.

I wonder if Kelli has seen this video? Will she be mad about no Victoria, in the class with everybody else and not in this video with everyone else?

She probably has, but hasn't paid much attention to it because Victoria wasn't in it.

Vk had stated in a comment how she was sick that’s why she wasn’t there 

Hmmm. . . . she seems to be getting sick a lot, especially on days when the choreography doesn't seem to be to her liking (i.e. too challenging for her) or on days when she'll be pushed to actually learn something and demonstrate training, technique and maturity.

I thought you aren’t aloud to be sick. Kelli always stresses they always need to show up. Is this different for her sweet Princess? 

Of course it is.  Even though it isn't an "official" practice during the season, I was under the impression that these were required practice and that all the girls were supposed to be there.  We've seen that they require girls to be there even when sick or injured (unless that's not required during the "off" season) and yet Victoria's allowed to miss not just one, but several practices due to being sick?

I like Evan doing this choreo.  Don’t know about any of the girls yet😂.  And don’t swipe left cause you know who is back and guess what - she’s up front 🙄

 

Who is the brunette behind VK?  Her hair keeps covering her face, as does VK’s,  the hanging lank hair in the face is distracting.  Both girls are looking a little soft as well.
