Do any of these girls have an power or pizzazz???  She is pretty (albeit with that typical over processed blonde colored hair) and she's not a "bad" dancer but her leaps are very weak...Even Jada, who is one of my faves, was soft.  Claire W has probably had the best video, and even her video was lackluster 😞 I want to see some power.

I was always very underwhelmed by Jessica on Texas Pom. Very pretty girl in a generic kind of way, but never a powerful dancer.

This a little random but speaking of the interviews, I felt bad for the girl who was asked if the girl makes the uniform or the uniform makes the girl (can’t remember if she made the squad) She said she would make the uniform and Judy HATED that answer. 

That was 2nd year vet Lauren Castillo and she was cut for that.

Are these videos on slow motion or something? I agree with the lack of power, pop & punch. Has she never watched Kitty rip into the girls? So many of the DCC moves done badly, or I should say mediocrely...

I still hate this theme song, but I’m excited!! WEEEEEEE

This may be the argument to bring back Kitty. They all clearly need some help!

It is interesting to see the lack of "power, pop, and projection" in these videos, and it helps me understand that K & J aren't just saying that all the time to hear themselves talk. These dancers need to hear it! And I agree, @Jesiklyn, that some Kitty performance training would not be out of order, even if she never comes back onto the show (which is fine by me). These videos also help me appreciate the editing work done in the audition rounds of earlier seasons of this show, which I think does make the dances look better because we see such quick splices instead of a full round of choreography. Also, as much as I dislike and find some of the audition choreo awkward some years, seeing all this other uninspired or uneven choero makes me appreciate the audition combos they have to learn each year all the more.

power to them for having the privilege of having no real responsibilities and parents who are able to bankroll their jobless new life in a city they may not even need to be in for more than two weeks?

If I told my parents at age 18 that I was doing that?  Ummm....I don't want to think about what their reaction would have been to an announcement that I'm going to bypass college for what basically amounts to a time consuming hobby (being that the pay is low).  Yes, I know you can always go back (I went back for a 2nd BS at age 31 when I wanted a career change), but there are many who don't.

Yeah, I'd rather be a relatively older DCC who went to college with her peer group (NOT that that's the only way to do it) than a baby DCC who had to leave the squad, get accustomed to the real world again, and play catch up in college down the line. You'd also prob get more dance/pom experience in college that would help you a LOT. 

They expect you to go go school/work at the same time, but that's not really realistic, as we've seen plenty. Does anyone know of any DCC who legit go/went to college the same time they were/are on the squad? I know Victoria supposedly does, but like...lol

I giggle every time I see 18-yo Gina Marie setting up her apartment (in the same complex as Chandi, zomg!!) only to get the boot like five minutes later. I just get the feeling these are girls who are rarely told no.

I also just feel like it'd be a more fulfilling experience when you're at least a little older. You'd probably feel WAY less out of your depth, like GM. And with more experience in life and dance you'd be more powerful and confident on the field and getting choreo would be easier.

Oh, right. But we saw how big a thing that was

Didn't she get sh*t on for not having the time to try out for show group and then also leave in the middle of her second season for school reasons? lmao

And didn't some conjecture (I personally have no idea) that there was some resentment toward Blonde Hannah and her Business degree that might have led to her veteran cut and not the weight gain that they said?

Okay, I know this because I am a big Melissa W. fan - I think she is an amazing dancer and as someone with two engineering degrees, I know just how hard she much have been working while doing school and DCC. When they introduce her in her first season, she says she just finished her junior year at SMU so she spent her senior year there while also being a DCC, which had to take real dedication. She mentions finishing up in December, so I think she went an extra semester which makes sense since she also had a dance minor and probably took a slightly lighter course load while being a DCC. 

This article I found about her gave some info about her degree/work and DCC:

Wow, I am so impressed with someone who can hold down a demanding degree program and do something like DCC, which is basically a full-time job.  I was so lazy in college compared to some of these girls!

I have no idea about Amy, hard to find info. Also with Melissa, seems like she was at the tail end of college basically and didn't go to grad school immediately after. But this is the wrong thread for this so sorry lol 😕

She’s smart and knew to make it just subjective enough to go over some people’s heads.
It is apparent by the other DCC’s comments that she was very loved. she clearly put her teammates first over any political games that tptb play and it shows

The return of the trashorama song that no one can find the lyrics to!! (This was the same song from Gina, Bridget, and Lisa's DCC in motion). 

I'm really impressed with her projection (hope I'm using that word correctly lol). Also, she has really beautiful hair. #TeamRedhead

Claire and Jada are both still full time students, many of the rookies have already graduated according to their social media accounts.

Same!  Had a mega DCC crush on Bridget. She was also my pick for point and I fully expect her to get it. I truly wished she had stuck around. Loosing her and Hannah really bummed me out..well..there is still Amanda!

Hi everyone long time since I’ve been on here just caught up on everything and wow . So today I was at a bookstore looking for puzzles and found the DCC calendar right next to the Maxim calendars . I said to myself Kelly and others wouldn’t be happy where they are

If that were the issue, and a normal audition year, that probably wouldn't have been a problem.  

[bernie2018]

Question for the masses...

Is it me or does Kelly have a dislike (disdain?) for anyone Kansas? It seems no one makes the team if they’ve cheered for KU, KSU or the KC Chiefs 🤷🏻‍♂️ 

I kno ‘Kat’ was from Smalltown, KS, but wasn’t she also calling Houston home? 

And didn’t Kelly tell one KS TCC that her looks bothered her & all this girl could do was shrug

Of course, correct me if I’m wrong

Thanks ladies!

I thought she was beautiful and very well-spoken, but I agreed with them about the way she moved. It was almost like she was sticking her butt out on everything way too much, which is weird, because she grew up doing gymnastics and gymnasts have to squeeze their butts in to be able to tumble properly.

Yep. Pretty sure she was studying for finals during TC.

[Tuxcat]

I've been off this site for a long time and just took a sporadic dive through the forum.

Am I correct that this is the general consensus? Hannah cut essentially for speaking out against TPTB re: covid plans? Are we sure it wasn't weight or some other issue? Did she go to training camp at all or was she cut before? Brennan due to stamina likely secondary to post COVID fatigue. Lily and Meredith because they were weaker anyway?

Cici not on show group. Jalyn also not on it again this year? Correct? Rachel W point alternates with Maddie. 

Most of that info back around pages 40-50. I skipped up to 120 plus. Anything changed or is that still the poop?

You are correct about the consensus on Hannah, but we will see the official version of her dismissal on DCC:MTT the coming weeks. She did go to TC and the bubble. You are also correct on the assumptions on Brennan, Lily and Meredith. My understanding is that Kelli was waiting for the opportunity to kick Brennan and she found a pretext: new pretty girls.

#TeamJalyn is also disappointed in the decision-making skills of Kelli.

New is the formation, with a wonderful surprise for #TeamAmanda: she jumped from the back to the front!
