TB12 February 9, 2022 Share February 9, 2022 By no means is this meant to be disrespectful trust me but it is a world down there that I’ll never understand the “World Famous Kilgore College Rangerettes” I’m sure being a Lieutenant is a HUGE honor and it is well deserved but it makes me chuckle bc we just don’t have anything like that here in the Boston area. Please don’t come at me! I adore Kellee & hope she stays bc yes she does seem like a mature, talented young lady who would be a great leader. I like that she’s not all showy & it’s all about me like some others… 13 Link to comment

I'm in SoCal and there's nothing like that here but I watched the documentary that someone posted here through youtube about the Kilgore College Rangerettes and it was actually interesting. Does anyone know if they've had opportunities to have a show like the DCC MTT? 4 Link to comment

Lynnbo February 11, 2022 Share February 11, 2022 2 hours ago, Erinbridget said: Lea always kills it. She deserves show group this year Agreed. Lea should get show group. I had fun watching all three of them in Jen A’s choreography. Marissa, Maryelle from Rhythm and Blues and Lea. All so good. Lea has a way of completing her moves with extra pop. Saw Cailey in another video same choreography. I think Cailey could benefit from working with Lea a little. She needs a little more precision. And I think a bit more attitude. When you watch dancers that have that extra something, they arch their backs a bit more, they exaggerate the movements, and take opportunities to kind of pose and flirt with the camera. Not a dancer, so not describing this well, but I remember an episode when they told them they couldn’t spread their legs too wide and I think that applies to all those movements. Give it something more. 6 Link to comment

LilyD February 12, 2022 Share February 12, 2022 On 2/8/2022 at 7:44 PM, PomPomPom said: I understand your point but there have been a lot of TCCs over the years who where captains of their dance teams before coming to DCC. Not all even make it through TC and there are eventually only eight leadership places when they do. I think it was 2013 or 2014 auditions when CMT featured just how many ladies had been captains of their former teams. Not saying she won't achieve it, just that the odds are high. This! The time you could become a DCC if you were pretty and could dance a little are long gone. You now need years of training, experience and be prepared to face girls that are as good as you or better. A captain of one team is pitched against the captain of another and that might reveal you are good, but maybe not that good when standing amongst people that share your talent and experience. Ex-tcc Paige (Chiefs) now comes to mind. Within her old team she apparently was one of the best but couldn’t keep up with the DCC. As for current DCC’s and whomever is best or weakest; Both Kirsten and Madeline have often been marked as the weakest and potential cuts. But we shouldn’t forget that they are still amazing dancers but face 34 more that seem stronger. But hey, I wish I could dance like them! ☺️ 5 Link to comment

She really pops and performs - there are moments of Holly in how she dances (moments, I said - before you all come for me!). I really think this is one of the strongest rookie classes! Combination of great dancers, big personalities, great looks, charismatic articulate girls, etc. It's going to be a tough audition next year! 13 Link to comment

But, because her husband is in the military, she no longer (most of the time) lives in Dallas. Before she was married, she used to teach weekly power classes in Dallas. I believe she’s also choreographed some of the dances for DCC. She’s super talented!

I always thought Michelle's classes was a little better than Jennifer Amburns but maybe thats me I see two different dancers style-wise. Michelle really radiates power and has great showmanship if you ask me. Jenn seems more technical. From a strategic perspective, I'd opt for JennA's classes. TPTB seem to highly value her opinion so having Jenn on your side will very likely increase your chances to make it through the first few rounds at least. She is also an assistant trainer. 3 3 Link to comment

It’s one thing to constantly reuse the same moves in different order, but sometimes the moves don’t make sense with the music.

Kamal February 16, 2022 Share February 16, 2022 I know we all have different opinions of Alora Rose but I am really glad she chose to audition during the pandemic when there were no other dance jobs. If it wasn't for her I wouldn't have known about the Rockets and all the other cool dance jobs she does. Texas and cheerleading wasn't her thing but her bond with her rookie sisters was real and I believe she's a very beautiful person in the inside just as well as her outside. For the current girls I'm grateful for Claire and Rebecca because they seem to have other dreams but is here. 10 Link to comment
