Yay! Isn’t U Montana where DCC Alumni Megan (C.) Hurley is a coach of their dance team? Or was? Either way, Good Luck Amber L.!

I don't think Megan works for them anymore. Or does she? I seem to remember she quit DCC after Kelli decided to have that weight talk with her, asked her back and then cut her again and she then got a job at her alma mater as co director at University of Arizona then left that after like 2 or 3 months and then moved to Montana and then got that dance job and then left to move back to California somewhere? Or is Montana kind of in California? 

 

Judging by Megan's IG she hasn't posted anything about the University of Montana's dance team since Feb 2019.  So its a bit weird of nothing about that for over 2 years and a little digging it seems she might be living in Minesota now so unless thats pretty close in commuting times to wherever Montana dance team do their practices I would safely say she probably do not work there anymore. Love to know what she is doing now tho.

Word of advice…Be Careful when it comes to reposting Reddit posts 🤦🏻‍♂️😃😁😆😂

I would tell you my favorites, but I don’t want to jinx them, so I’ll sit here & read quietly & secretly stress that they make it. I just hope no veterans get cut. 

Why? Do the reddit posters like the facebook groups in terms of some of the "nastiness/narrowmindedness" etc?

I just rewatched on Pluto an earlier season (4 or 5?) where Judy said something like "we actually took all our vets back to training camp this year!" and she seemed genuinely surprised that no one got cut at auditions. So if they are taking all 27 vets back this year, I feel like they are bound to cut a veteran or two in training camp. Lessons not learned well from last season, unfortunately. Good for the new rookies, I guess?

 

Not sure of the season but there was that season Kirsten Hagger and someone else had done their rookie year, then had got cut/retired for personal reasons for a year and then came back and had to start from the bottom at prelims.

 

Now that VK is going to retire for the next year, I wonder how far Kelli would let Madeline Salter go in terms of being a DCC. Because she now does not have VK to overshadow her or be a threat her. I hope she does make the team because damn shes a good better dancer than VK

OMG I am soooo #TeamKleine, it's crazy! (me how much I am on #TeamKleine, not Kleine).

I am so excited! What a great TCC! It is going to be great!

My favs (besides Kleine): Kylie, Ashlinn (I love her and I never stopped being #TeamAshlinn), Christina (anyone with that kind of eye make up on has got something to say),  Melanie, Tori and ...

Madeline Salter. Madeline Salter. Say it soft and it is almost like praying, say it loud and there is music playing. Madeline Salter: the real deal Legacy. I hope they don't bring her back to crush her. I hope she makes it.

And honestly, I think we have an Abigail Klein-scale-beauty on our hands:
Jordann! What a pretty face. She looks like a movie star!

Kleine is a genuinely sweet young lady (so is her entire family... she has a younger sister who graduates UK next year but I don't think she dances like Kleine) ...I think she would be an awesome DCC❤️ 

I hope Madeline makes it this year ... she should have made it two years ago imo...I'm pulling for Tori and Ashlinn as well!! I don't know anything about Jordann but she is a beauty for sure!! 🤗

How is Kleine pronounced? Like in Calvin Klein, or ?  There are some lovely girls in the TCC's. I think it is mainly that the older I get, the more all young people look beautiful, lol!

Kleine= Kline (long I ) 🤗

It's not the fact Marissa makes TikToks.  It's the fact that they suck:)

And no thank you for me either on Jesus Jesus etc.  It's why I tend to avoid Kat's social media.

Oh I remember quite a few who said it made her an ‘attention whore’ or at risk for making the dcc look bad, etc.  People really ragged on her for it.  I always saw them as just part of the times and harmless. To me a whole lot of them are just eh but it’s part of our culture now.  My kids are her age and these girls ages and they all do it. 
But whatever.  In my opinion, if you don’t like someone for whatever reason, you’ll come up with lots of reasons.

Lol. None of those states are near each other 🙈.  She did do a goodbye to Montana Instagram post and mentioned that the next move was to Minnesota. I don’t think she ever moved back to Southern CA, just that she visited her parents who seem to still be there. It seems like most of her moves are precipitated on her husband’s job. Which is something I understand - 3 states in 5 years all because my husband kept getting promoted and assigned to a new office. Maybe shes currently unemployed in her new city or has a job that isn’t worth posting about in IG. I do hope she’s still dancing though!
 

 

Now that you said that I looked at her IG a little properly, just saw that post. I wonder what he does.

 

Megan and Mandy are two DCC I always been curious of their after DCC life.

Hence the term "Friday Night Lights" in re: playing football as a kid.  The term was represented into a movie with Billy Bob Thornton and spinned off into a series for several seasons - it wasn't an exaggeration!!   Just Texas alone, it epitomized the attitude and obsession how the whole community supports their high school football team/coaching staff and all that that implies! Very serious business.       I'm the daughter of a high school football coach and the mother of a high school/college quarterback~in both communities that I lived in, the whole town was present in the stands on Friday night and it was electric, the stands were packed !!   My adrenaline still flows just from the amazing memories, esp. watching my son play with his team, my daughter on her cheer/dance team, the parents who were more like family, the crowds......all this still doesn't really describe it.   I'm absolutely not singling out Texas, I know it's important in every state in the US, but only living in Texas, I know it's HUGE. 

It's why church ends at 11 a.m. on Sundays. So everyone can be home in time to watch the game! :D

Wait, what? Megan C. was cut over weight? That must of been off camera? That seems ridiculous because she seemed so classic DCC (but brunette), and loved by K&J. They still use her image in the intro on the show, unless they finally changed it with the song.

No, that is not correct. Megan's last season on the team was 2016. She did not audition in 2017. Below are the finalists from the 2017 auditions. That was the year Allie, Raylee, and Heather Hamilton were cut.

ETA: Shelly Bramhall confirmed March 17, 2017: "Jennifer, Jessica, Danielle, Melissa, Megan, Amy T, Claire & Jax are not returning"  It's on page 4 of the "2017 Tryouts and Training Camp: Candidates Included" thread in season 12. I'll try to link it.

All in all, a very promising list of training camp candidates. Dare I say, best in a long time?

This is the first season I paid any attention to potential rookies prior to MTT airing. It makes me a bit sad already to know their journey - excitement for TC, meeting new people, and being so close to your dream, then to be called out again and again with office visits for some, and others being good enough to make the team but still getting cut, your anonimity gone but still not making the team, or being one of the lucky few that actually does earn a spot. What a journey they will be on. 

Also - there are a few vets that should be *very* concerned, looking at this group of TCC.

If this is the stats from the buccaneers it will be interesting to see what numbers Kelly comes up with.

Got this from Katelyn Pittmans ig - doesn't appear she reauditioned for DCC or if she did got in

Screenshot_20210530-144147_Instagram.jpg

It certainly gives some perspective on the DCC talking every year about their numbers and how they attract women from other regions, and other pro and semi-pro teams.

(Although I suspect if the Seahawks or Panthers had 600+ candidates, that number would've been proudly displayed on IG. 😆 )

Incidentally, Katelyn just announced that she was chosen for the Bucs training camp, so good on her!

Great job! Now we have our own chart!

Are we sure about the number of TCC? Perhaps KayDianna McKenzie is also a TCC.
Why would KayDianna McKenzie (TCU Showgirl) say 'So excited to meet you' with Jensen replying 'Can't come soon enough?'

Yes, looks like 3 TCU grads. Who were you looking at? 👀👀 I’ve had my eye on Sundvold, Marvel, Smith, Miles, and Hinson over the last year 😂

Has Lauren Brummett appeared on anyone's radar? Private IG but followed other DCC. From Missouri now in Texas and a grad from Mizzou, danced for them.

I could be drawing a long line here but also could be a possible

Yes! She’s on my radar. Friends with the Sundvolds (makes sense bc Caroline was a Mizzou Golden Girl as well) and followed by several others on the team, from Gina to McKenzie and at least one in each year in between. Requested to follow her but not accepted yet 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm really bad at figuring out lookalikes so I'm sure no one will agree with me on these 😂, but...

Amber reminds me of Molly from S12 (I think it's the face shape)

Jensen reminds me of Heather O from S11 (something about the eyes and Blonde hair)

Kleine reminds me of current DCC Amanda

And Melanie reminds me of Sydney Durso 

I think that's why I like Kleine already so much, very similar in appearances to Amanda. She seems spunky from her insta and I love her natural/ish hair so i'm excited lol

Edit: UKDance is also where Lily danced in uni so high hopes for Kleine!

She’s been pretty mum and appears to have blocked some people whose handles are the same on IG as they are here, so probably doesn’t want people snooping about in her stuff... which seems to me to indicate that she didn’t make it back and is pretty sensitive about it. Can’t really blame her though 😞

Both the movie and TV show are book adaptations. “Friday Night Lights: A Town, a Team, and a Dream” is a 1990 nonfiction book written by H. G. “Buzz” Bissinger. It follows the story of the 1988 Permian High School Panthers football team from Odessa as they made a run towards the Texas state championship. It was later adapted for television and film.

Kristin is a wild card. I think she's retiring. She spoke out against DCC-MTT but has back peddled a lot and is consistently praising the show and the organization now. Am sure she's had conversations with TPTB. So she might decide for another year, unless she is moving with her boyfriend. Either way she needs to keep those DCC connections for her fitness business too.

 

I hope she does.  I have always found her to be boring and I imagine the rookies will try out again because of their abnormal performance year.  We need some drop outs to make room!

Cassie I believe was roommates with Alanna or some other DCC.  That has to be the hardest part of competing for the team, your friends not making it or you not getting to be on the team with your friends.  So many of them train together, do prep classes and know each other through the connections they’ve made through school, and other parts of the dance world.  I really feel for them.

I have no opinion about Marissa, and I never made any comments about her during TC.  But for me, it never really seemed like anyone had a problem with Marissa actually Tic-Toc-ing (is that a verb now?), it was more the content she was posting. I know some were put off by maybe Marissas personal opinions creeping into her content, which may in turn have a negative effect on her employer (here being DCC). I never really saw that.  But I did think her content was embarrassingly cringeworthy. She was trying so hard to be funny. And she just isn’t. Or maybe she is, but it wasn’t translating into her videos. TicTocs? I don’t know what they are called. 

I get immature & attention whore vibes from her.   Just not a fan.. I see the content of what she posts & immediately think “Brennen, who defines class, intelligent & role model was cut for someone like this?”   There is more to DCC than dance skills according to Kelli.   😉
