DCCInMotion will begin again soon.

I know she's slim but she always has been. If she was sick, it would show in her face more too (I had an ED growing up and look gaunt all the time). If I looked like that now, I'd be in crop tops and booty shorts all the time.

I think Gina looks stunning here. The costume looks dark and dramatic so I'm assuming a contemporary piece with lyrical elements.

Or has Kelli started "hinting" about boobs, noses, etc

I admire the rookies and their lack of enhanced breasts and other "improvements."   Nothing wrong with any of it but sometimes it goes too far (or big).  It does seem as if after the second year many of them start enhancements of some kind.   Kelsey Lawrence was just gorgeous without anything.  Some of those boobs are so big it looks impossible (Chelsea).

I noticed she commented back to someone on her post with Tess I think. A couple of people were saying she was too thin. She replied that she was okay and works hard to be at her physical best. Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. Something like that ha. It would be interesting to see her in person to see what she looks like.

She's petite and in fantastic shape.  Wears a lot of makeup but I think they all kind of have to... remember how that pre-school teacher TCC (Brittany D'Alesandro?) got absolutely reamed by Kelli when she showed up late and bare-faced??

Honestly, for all the talk about the girls' thin appearance on this forum, they all look very healthy in person.

So is her waist as tiny as it looks in her pics? Not that it really matters to me, but many people seem to think that she's photoshopped most of them to appear even smaller. Hell I don't know how I look to other people in person most of the time. I've always thought I'm bigger than I am, but I've always been pretty skinny. And I'm really short. Hah

Also where’s Daphne been? No one has mentioned her in a minute...

Perhaps she has retired and no one even noticed? 😂

[Kamal]

Well at least in primetimer she is the least noticed in her year.

[M1977G]

I'm not a huge fan of Daphne's looks--though at some angles and in certain pics I think she looks pretty--and I agree she would look better with a few more pounds on her, but I have grown to like her. I think she seems like a good teammate. She seemed so sincere yet at ease with Darian after their media test interview during TC last season.

I love Alanna and would be happy to see her as a 2nd GL next year. I'd also love to see Rachel A as a 2nd. Since I just named half the 2nds I'd like to see, I'll name my other top picks: Chandi, Amanda, Kelsey--and yes, I know there only will be 4. I'm hoping against hope that VK doesn't get a leadership position at least until her 4th season.

And perhaps what I want most for the team is for Maddie to retire. I'm just tired of her, her lame/weird facials while dancing, and her audition routines with the same tricks every time. The Maddie-Amy point combo was the worst point of all time. 

I want an Ashlee, Amanda, Kelsey triangle! (Hoping Ashlee's retirement announcement was just an April Fool's joke as some surmised here.)

In Kelli’s defense...girl showed up looking like she had just rolled out of bed. Back then they weren’t all quite going full stage makeup with false lashes every waking moment either.  She was already late, if she had taken two minutes to pop on mascara and lip gloss and dry shampooed/brushed her hair she would have been fine. From that perceptive, anyway.  Being late and lacking some sparkle did her in.  IMO, anyway!  She might be super friendly and bubbly off camera but didn’t read that way on the show. 
 

I love all of these pics! That rookie class really is awesome.

Gonna be perfectly honest here. The thing I'm most tired about when it comes to Maddie is that darn fandom that just follows her around LOL. I will never understand why so many see her as some type of DCC legend when she wasn't even the best DCC in her rookie class, let alone the current squad. And yet her superfans would have us believe she NEEDS to come back this season ... and the season after that ... and the one after that. 🤷‍♂️.

Then again, perhaps this was all just a preview to Marissa's "Marauders" 🤦‍♂️

It is sad to see someone so talented think that she needs a smaller waist, larger breasts, bigger eyes. Her photos look like caricatures. 

I think she needs help asap and wonder whether the DCC organisation is aware and is trying to talk to her about this...But we also shouldn’t forget that this is the new normal for young people around the world. Your pictures do not matter unless they are heavily edited and have 20+ filters.
And before y’all start raising your pitchforks: No, I definitely do not approve and am convinced this needs urgent attention. But as long as Kardashian&Co rule Social Media, I don’t see this happening. You’d actually need a counter movement that is as powerful as #metoo to show youngsters the beauty of a natural body and the dangers those unrealistic posts pose to your (mental) wellbeing.

[Kamal]

Made a huge poll Your personal favorite/ Best Dancer/ Most Beautiful/ Best personality

5 questions.

1. Overall who are your personal favorites ? 
2. Who do you think are the best dancers ?
3. Who do you think are the most beautiful? (Not talking about if she is DCC style but do you personally think she is attractive?)
4. Whose personality do you love?
5. Who should retire?

I'm having too much fun making these polls.

Does anyone else get Dani and Jessica mixed up? I genuinely think they might be the same person.

I do! They are so similar. Though for some reason I always completely forget Jessica is on the team and I remember Dani is on the team - not sure why my brain does that.

[kalibean]

Amanda and Rachel W in the triangle and Ashlee at diamond? I like this too! Tho I like Lexie in the triangle as well. If she retires, these four are a solid preview for the next squad.

Me too! Also, wasn't there a change in the choreography? Right after the first roll off they used to do a half turn to the back and then back front before the bending back with bent arms (sorry for my description), here they were doing a bunch of hip circles. I feel like this was a change I haven't seen before, any input?

[Kamal]

I like Gina as point than Rachel W. When Gina dances you can see (feel) her facial expressions changing from far but I can only see a pretty face from Rachel W.

I still don't understand why Amy got point out of seniority but Gina didn't get point last year as a a fourth year. Rachel W is photogenic but Gina has more power and she was a fourth year. I'm not saying choosing point out of seniority is good but if there are two girls equally as powerful it should go to the senior.

Is it possible that Gina was recovering from a small injury this year and lost point to Rachel because of that ? That would make since for her to come back next year because if that wasn't the case losing point to a pretty face would be shocking and if I were her I'll retire.

[Kamal]

So Tess, Maddie, Savannah aren't there so can this mean these girls are retiring ?

And I'm pretty sure Maddie is still recovering from her surgery, she wouldn't be ready to do a full-out performance yet.

[DCC-UK]

Anyone want to draw the triangle of who's where? When Gina is point on her own, who is the long-haired blonde completing the front three? Lexie?

Also FINALLY GINA IS POINT! K+J should bang their heads together as this should've happened after Kashara retired!

I was thinking this was Tess

[kalibean]

I think my only issue with Gina as point is her figure - other than Amy, who still baffles me, all points tend to be more on the strong and curvy side of things.  Amy is super lean but still looked healthy to me (like Jinelle always did.) 

Gina has gone a few pounds past what looks healthy for her frame.  Tho maybe in person she looks strong and fit and she’s just photoshopping herself to look that way. Either way, it’s a prominent position and photographed/video quite often, so as much as I don’t agree with Rachel W’s politics, from an eyeballs POV I like her better for the spot. 

Amanda, Caroline, Ashlee, Lexi all work too tho. I don’t mind the rotating point since it gives more people a moment to shine.

I'm warming to this idea now because the third/second years are some of the best dancers they've had. Amanda, Amber, Ashlee, Caroline, Erin, Gina, Jalyn and Kelcey deserve to be up in the diamond and let's face it, VK will be up there soon enough too. I've not seen enough of the rookies to see who should be up there!

I never notice Tess.  She blends right in for me.

Gina looks great at point.  She didn't over do it either.  I hope K&J give her point consideration if they are allowed to dance on the field this year.

[Opine]

I guess the cheese stands almost alone here, but I don't care for Gina as point.  It's not her body.  It's her facials - she seems to have an open mouth a lot of the time.  Rachel is ok.  Certainly a decent dancer with pretty photo ops.  But IMHO Lexie looked better than both of them.  The other stand out for me was Marissa - in a bad way.  She almost appeared to be marking it.  Like "I am in the back so who cares".  Certainly not show group material in this dance.

I can only imagine what it felt like for her to enjoy the spotlight after all her physical therapy hard work.  Having had a knee injury that ultimately ended my dance days, I get it.  It's definitely not easy to come back after that kind of injury.

Here's a link to the opening I don't think has been shared.

Actually I do think Victoria looks a little more heavy around the midsection as compared to last year. But it's hard to see. You have to kind of look through the other girls and focus in on her midsection to notice. Unfortunately for her, because she had such a visible weight gain a few years ago, its only natural to sort of check that area out now. But I'm sure she can tone up in time for auditions. Its nothing like it was first year.

I think that Gina is a reliable dancer and it makes sense that she is at point. I hope she gets help for the dismophia, especially if she is going to be point for the 2021-2022 season. She has earned it. 

[Kamal]

I think it's interesting how Kashara wasn't on showgroup until her third year when she became point. (It's kinda like Kat becoming point next year)

I started watching this show since last year so were a lot of people surprised that Kashara was chosen over other reliable/predictable vets like Lacey?

[UnicornKicksBack]

Hate to admit that while Gina looks far better at point than Amy it Maddie, my eyes are drawn to Rachel at point. What happened to CAroline? I was sure she was frontrunner. I want Amanda up there myself but hey. 

Also Kashara got lucky when a bunch of girls screwed up but she’s far better than Kat. Kat is there for looks period. 

[go4luca]

For me, Rachel W. is pretty enough, but her facial expression and dynamics seem to remain the same all throughout.  One thing Kash knew how to do was work the facials.

Definitely surprised! Everyone thought it would be Jenna, Erica, or Holly. Kashara was never mentioned as a possibility. Then all the drama happened that summer and Kashara benefited from all of it. 
 

Does anyone remember where Kashara was in the thunderstruck formation her second year?

I would've LOVED to see Holly P at point. She had a sparkle that very few DCC have had. Sure, she was very confident but she could sell any routine. Super clean and fun in the DCC style and spectacular in everything else!
