Current Team Updates and Social Media

[scorpio1031]

Here is another Wake up and Wiggle.  I didn't realize that the DCC did have these kinds of videos like the DCRB where they are teaching combos.  Now if they were called Dance with the DCC...……….

The sad thing is that they may have never shown it, but yet if a TCC can opt to not be featured, then it is only fair a vet, who is on show group and a fan fave, should have the right to opt out of being filmed.

I’m guessing this was just the last straw, I doubt she would just up and leave about something relatively minor.

Meredith’s taking over the insta stories today. Looks like she was blonde as a kid, I think the dark hair color suits her best. She’s done quite a few things in the ‘real’ world, so i’m wondering why she chose to give up a dance career for dcc. Hope it was a conscious decision in the sense that she’d rather be close to her family and teach dance than follow a dance career and not that  she thought dcc is important enough to put a hold on an actual career.

She’s apparently grown up with rachel...it really looks all the girls who end up making dcc have some sort of connection with someone already on the team, with few exceptions -most of whom are bringing something extra and that’s their golden ticket let’s say (eg Rachel and her title, Holly and her exceptional talent etc). That’s why i don’t think having online auditions will change anything, they already know which girls will be going into tc and the most-likely-to-make-it

100% true they know who is going to make the team.  I hope they don't have girls come to TC because they feel the need for ratings.  That would be so unfair to the girls under these circumstances.

I would like to add Amanda Dilks and Jalyn Stough to the group of girls bringing something extra, they have it all, full of grace.

Amanda always looks good.

I really hope the current situation is giving these ladies the clarity they need to see that the world does not, in fact, revolve around the DCC and that they can make choices to better their lives and the treatment they receive without plastering a smile on and taking whatever Kelli dishes. 

I also can't help but chuckle at how this is going to turn out for Vikkie. I know, I know, talking about her is as old and tired as her 80's hair and make-up, but I know this isn't how TK saw her precious wombfruits time at the DCC going. At this point, we don't even know the fate of the football season, let alone whether or not they'll have cheerleaders---if they play to empty stands, there really won't be a point to cheerleaders if we're being honest. Though my heart breaks for the girls who dreams may or may not be ruined, the fact that we may not have another summer and fall with VK thrown in our faces bring me joy. Even though it's petty, bitter, mean girl joy...it's joy none the less.

I hope all of my fellow boardies are healthy and safe and that your families are as well. Virtual hugs to you all!

I don’t think I’d consider magic shows in Guam as a dance career. I’d say DCC does more for her career than any of those random shows she did.

I guess it depends on what we consider a dance career to be. If her aim was to become a teacher in dallas then sure, dcc will help -although if she’s teaching in her old studio I doubt dcc had anything to do with this. If her aim is to continue working outside of dallas, then yes dance gigs will get you more dance gigs. Few people outside of dallas would consider dcc a good ‘dance’ gig.

I swear that VK was given the answers to memorize for both panel interviews and media training so that they could put her on the team and not get flack about the favoritism that was played out for her. There is NO WAY she learned how to be in front of a camera and not sound like a airhead like she did the first year in less than a year. She was given the questions and the answers to study before, and that is something no other TCC was ever given!!! Just look at Julia!!! Lol

I haven’t watched the full season as I couldn’t stand it, but I saw a clip a few days ago with SG’s first performance. Amanda and Kelcey gave good answers but all VK had to say was “that was just wow”. She has never given an eloquent response to spontaneous questions/talking heads and yet somehow she managed to pull it together for these 2 tests.

I've been to magic shows in Vegas that had dancers who also acted as assistants during the show.  Guam is no Vegas, sure, but I agree, I'd consider it a legit dance gig.

I agree.  No way in hell did she come up with the cutesy "Miss Charlotte, tonight is your last night" in the spur of the moment.

[DCC-UK]

Judging by the calibre of dance classes some of the girls are taking, Jalyn and Hannah are going to be two of the best (I already consider them to be but they're improving still so much). They're not just relying on DCC prep classes, they're taking class from dance industry experts and they look reallt strong in all styles! I'd love to see them in the diamond, along with Amber and Gina (fingers crossed she recovers from her injury!).

To me, they're the four strongest dancers on the team (I'm not including Bridget because I assume she's retiring!). I'd love to see Ashlee, Amanda and Kelcey get moved forward too

Are there any veterans on the squad that you think will get a promotion to SG this year (other than Jalyn, who deserves her spot back)?

I think Alanna, Briana and Erin have a good chance if the incoming rookies aren't great. Meredith and Savannah are good in lyrical but suck at hip-hop, Taylor P is good at hip-hop but not great in contemporary. Most improved to me is Taylor J in all styles.

Alexis and Taylor J were next on the SG list last season, so I would like to see them get “promoted”.  However, no word yet on Alexis trying out.

Alexis, really? I struggle to see her as anything but a hip-hop dancer, same as Lexie. I find them both pretty wooden. (Sorry, that's harsh!) Guess that's because of their Mavs background.

I love the hint of smiles that peek through on both of their faces.  They are both stunning and truly enjoying the dance.  Best DCC in Motion to date.

She’s stunning, but every clip i’ve seen of her this season she lacked power. I can’t believe she got a 2GL spot with such a weak performance. To be fair, she might have picked it up at some point, but i’ve caught her marking the routines in a lot of clips.

I agree! She's one of the most stunning and photographic girls on the squad but she's just an average dancer to me. She always looks winded so probably why she doesn't look very powerful! I mean, look how far back she is in the triangle! I think the 2GLs this year aren't powerhouse dancers, other than Gina. I don't dislike Alexis, Lexie or Miranda but they're some of the weaker dancers on the team.

It will be interesting to see what fun facts she shares. All the other girls talked about past achievements, college, college pom squads, major, roommates,current jobs etc. what is she going to say? “I wiggled my way into dcc stuff i shouldn’t be allowed to based on age requirements, i graduated high school and now I’m saying I’m studying in college and aunt kelli gave me a job with cowboysfit (with what qualifications i’m wondering) just so that people wouldn’t bully me again about not being up to normal dcc standards”.

Mine too... she should have had a much better dcc career. Kelli pointed her out after her rookie season so clearly she was good enough and it sucks that she was punished for being matured and sharing a potential ‘threat’ to dcc instead of waiting to see if anything will actually happen. So essentially, after stepping into a leadership position during her first year, she missed out on GL, triangle (much better choice than tess, amy and even lexie), probowl, and definitely a 5th year just because Kelli is a weirdo. Now instead of having a polished, well spoken 5th year, we have Tess who got lucky with her whole rookie class being scattered early and Maddie who well... i keep remembering her awkward interview with kelli and i cringe every time.

Maybe they will have banquet over zoom just to announce the winners let’s say, and then have a special ceremony over summer for rookies, since all of them are reauditioning. Of course that means that if any of them is cut, she will be robbed of her dcc pinky presentation and that does seem a bit unfair.

I agree, we shouldn’t be compare ourselves to their dcc appearances, but all of them look stunning in their no makeup pics (like from the dcc campout). Yes, we’re not going to look like their performance-ready looks when we wake up, but they’re all still stunning. Also, they all have fake hair and they don’t look as good. I also have very thin straight hair like Rachel so i understand why she has extensions for volume -she wouldn’t be able to do a single hair flip otherwise.

i’m also annoyed by the way she speaks, as she is still very pageant-y. I’d take this over the million “like” we get out of almost every other girl who tries to form a sentence, the annoyingly fast and cheery way certain others are speaking (which is fake as well), or the “i have no words” and “it was just wow”. Most of these girls can’t really speak in a mature way, which is why I appreciated JennK as a spokesperson so much. I know she’s not a favorite but i’ve seen some of her insta lives/videos and she is incredible. 

She is probably better than most, but I can’t watch her Instagram stories because of her constant umm’s when she speaks.

Well, someone got to start their takeover hours earlier than the other girls.  She works as a clothing model - no word about teaching at her old studio or at Cowboys Fit.  And she is a part time college student and a part time student at the Joffrey Ballet studio.

I laughed so hard when she said that she wants to start a blog. That will be hilarious, unless she gets someone else to write it for her.

IMO. Kelli or whoever decided Heather needed to be "punished" weren't being weirdos they were being weak.

 

I dont call it weak. I call it COWARD. But thats my opinion and I respect yours. But thats how I see Kelli, not weak but a coward. Too coward to stick up for herself with her so called BFF Tina over her daughter VK.

 

I mean you got daughters who CAME from a legacy background and how many of them got given this much free pass to DCC? Take that girl (from about 7  years ago) whose mother was Natasha something (cheered 1985 or 1987?), what about the other 2 who came when Dayton and Victoria was "rejected" last year? What about Dayton? Yes Dayton made the damn mistake of being late to her makeover, but come over that girl can FREAKING DANCE better than VK. What about Meredith? Didn't Judy "hate" her on her final season because she gained weight and Kelli and Charlotte wouldnt let Liz Router into TCC and Judy just was pissed with some people? Cassie yes ... was given basically "a free pass" esp in her last season, I feel esp with her leg injury. Maybe thats why Jay Johnson isnt shown on tv as much because he questioned why they were being "lenient" towards Cassie having an injury and allowing her a "free pass" to TCC, whilst other vets were given harsh talking to for gaining weight or cut completely without a chance ec

 

Her current IG takeover .... LOL omg ha the vid of her doing that lyrical, is VK like 2 counts behind everyone else and the others are going "too fast"? Seems to me she is the one who is damn slow and behind everyone else.

 

Does anyone have a screenshot of Rachel saying Heathers gone back to Arizona? I don't follow her on IG and definately missed that insta story. I cant believe Heathers gone. I guess this means Heather wouldnt be considered for 20/21 all stars? I was actually surprised Heather had a long distance relationship for that long. I thought her bf would have relocated to texas after a while or stayed at his job and looked for a job in texas to be closer to Heather. I guess well done to her for making that work.

I doubt that’s the reason she didn’t mention it. The other girls who work as fitness/dance instructors said just that, they didn’t say “i’m currently unemployed”. 

I deleted the part about Ashlee and can’t fix it -just wanted to say that I doubt they will let her next to Maddie or Tess, she’s too good. At best she will take Gina’s former spot. A girl can dream of course...

Yes and i’m surprised she chose that one... i haven’t yet seen even one clip where she isn’t off in some way, but there are definitely clips where it’s not as noticeable so I don’t get why she chose it.

I just saw the rest of her answers (though she’s still answering questions). She’s the only one not looking into the camera the whole time she’s talking so it does look like she has some notes but it’s not like she makes much sense anyway. Aaand i’m surprised she didn’t bring up again the “thyroid” issue, and barely talked about changing her diet. So she had a medical condition but overcame it with brisk walking? Interesting!

And I nearly died laughing with the “hope to house a tcc” next summer. That is extremely weird and while i assume cheaper, why would anyone choose to move to a different city and go live with a stranger’s family? Although it may be smart to befriend your director’s bestie...
