As in, the new girls got at least some choreo already? It would make sense; give them the time to learn the choreo at home, give them some corrections in-person, and then take one to two weeks to make all cuts. I get the need to have a show. But given the circumstances, couldn’t they follow a different format for just one year? Make it veterans only, make a few cuts you’d make during finals anyway, and then follow the girls through the season. I’m sure there are people who would appreciate the change: Honestly I’m not sure I know that some vets have reached out to the rookie hopefuls tho !! Tcc Elli and Dani are suppose to be moving in with Alanna 2 1 Link to comment
Sara 1 July 24, 2020 Share July 24, 2020 Hello everyone! I just realised something and I thought it would be worth mentioning - showgroup The 2019 - 2020 showgroup is : Amy Maddie Tess Heather Gina Lexie Amber Bridget Daphne Heather Rachel A Rachel W Ashley Caroline Cici Amanda Kelcey Victoria From what I know, only three of the current showgroup members will be retiring! What an intense showgroup audition there will be! Not only will there be the new rookie candidates coming in, but there will also be the 2-year candidates who have improved after one year as a DCC, as well as 3 and 4-year candidates trying to get a spot? This also means it will be harder for the current members to make it back in! 1 1 Link to comment

Heaven help the DCC or TCC who gives the Rona to Kelli.

Kelli loves talking up how brilliant and accomplished the ladies of DCC are. She even mentioned Lisa's degree during the season. Perhaps that and Lisa's powerful style of dance were enough to overlook the fact that she doesn't exactly have the DCC "look" Wait till you see the degrees of some of the new rookies. 2 Link to comment

TeacherWoman July 26, 2020 Share July 26, 2020 Brennan's tweet about wear a mask, and an article I just read about research on COVID "long haulers", make me wonder how DCCs will be treated if they can't complete training camp because they contract the virus. Even after recovering from it, some people continue to have symptoms or are unable to exercise because of breathing difficulties. So you could be cleared to participate because you aren't contagious, but unable to participate because you physically are unable at the moment. Would Kelli, Charlotte, and Judy show 2020 DCCs some grace and allow them back on the team if they are unable to do TCC? 3 7 Link to comment

I guess it depends on the case really... if it’s a rookie hopeful, probably not. Now for a vet... i’d assume they’d get some grace especially if there’s a show, as I’m not sure people will react well if a girl is kicked out because she got infected, especially if it’s during tc (where chances are she got sick because they started filming again). I doubt they’ll practice new material so why kick out someone who already knows the material? The only case it would make sense is if they do have lasting effects. It’s not as common, but if one of them does get lasting effects, i doubt she’d be able to do a whole game day. I would still offer them an all star spot, maybe doing only pregame and appearances AND allow her to audition as a vet next season. 4 Link to comment

BUT, I watched all four videos and I was almost immediately struck at the performance and technique difference between VK and the other three performers. I even went back and watched hers again, just to make sure I wasn't unknowingly drinking the kool-aid. Even if I just go on facial expressions alone, she came across insipid and immature. I presume she's a sweet girl, but like so many have said-if TPTB hadn't put so much sustained effort into putting her in the spotlight, I probably wouldn't have even noticed her much. 23 Link to comment

EricaShadows July 26, 2020 Share July 26, 2020 (edited) Watched the Brooke Colletti version of that routine Victoria did and, while still miles better then Victoria, I can see that Brooke might have similar issues to Victoria. Both seem to have issues with height on their jumps, at least in that turn/leap combo that end up with the dancer on the floor. Also, Brooke seems to have an issue with getting her feet/legs where they need to be in the leg extensions and not completing all the moves. Still, she's far better then Victoria in performance and power. ETA: Here's Brooke's version if it hasn't been posted already: Edited July 26, 2020 by EricaShadows 2 Link to comment

Agent Gully July 27, 2020 Share July 27, 2020 Utterly random thoughts... Some athletes are blessed with the ability to be light on their feet and are able to leap into the air with ease. I believe "ballon" is the correct terminology in ballet. (Please correct me if I'm wrong, it's been almost half a century - good Heavens I am old - since I took ballet.) It is one of the things I look for when watching the auditions and later the TCC. If Victoria hadn't been shoved down her throats, I really wouldn't notice her that much on the team. She is, however, one of the more "earthbound" spirits when it comes to movement and jumping. In the horse world, there is a saying that "form follows function". I'm not sure if Victoria truly understands that, when I compare her dancing with some of the other videos above. I certainly hope that as part of the very beginning of training camp, an expert is brought in to talk to the gals (and TPTB) about the current best practices and advice for staying safe from Covid -19. In trying to recover from it myself, in addition to a total lack of stamina, my ability to concentrate and memorize is still affected. For those trying to memorize new routines, this could play a huge factor if they were to become ill. Hope everyone is staying safe and doing well! 22 Link to comment

Quote In the horse world, lol Quote I am not trying to be snarky with my question. Is holding your leg up with your arm considered a talented dance move in a routine? And why is that guy in the background? The dance move is a tilt. It shows extension and strength. With Victoria it seemed like she had to exert - but normally a leg lift should be effortless - and you should be able to hold in place too. Quote And why is that guy in the background? I will defend VK for this one. The guy (Mark Meismer) is the choreographer of the piece. Looks like he taught the combo to Brooke and Autumn and they presented it for others to learn online. So in VK's defense - learning online isn't like being in class. But - Kaylee also learned online so .. you be the judge. Mark Meismer is the dancer VK pays to pays to choreograph her solos. Quote I thought the kid looked like a kid trying to dance as an adult. I've seen a lot of young girls "sexualize" dancing. I didn't get that from her version. If you watch and listen to the lyrics and music cues - Kaylee hits. There is like a shoulder shimmy and she adds a pop that goes with the lyrics in the song. Technique can be taught - but style and musicality cannot. Edited July 27, 2020 by chabelisaywow 11 Link to comment
