Wow, did the entire former DMD dance team retire?? I only see one returning face (back row, left first gilr Amber/Ashely). Can't remember her name. 

No haha. This is the finalists. The DMD dancers returned the next day to join them for finals

Ok, but really, because the African American girl on the end top left is like a 4th or 5th year Vet. Why is she in the pic?

Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me and its not her...lolol

Could it be that she changed her privacy settings in such a way that just automatically blocked a group of people? As opposed to blocking individually?

Can you do that?  I wouldn't mind blocking everyone who I work with hehe

"Exotics"???  lol ... whats an exotic?

Lol I didn't come up with that term. I'm actually adopted and don't know anything about my back ground and put into the category.

 

Basically is you have an olive skin tone and people can't tell if you are Hispanic/Asian/half black half white/Native American. i honestly don't like the term but I live with it

I am pretty sure some of the DCC are referring to that when they say "my EGs!" on IG. I know Jenna, Jessica Marie, and even Angela have referred to each other like that.

FYI. There is NO quota. I know that for a fact. 

Actually, YES there is, my friend is In marketing for a team here in the DFW. It's the same for Cowboys, same for Mavs, same for stars, same for pretty much every team that has a dance team outside of Dallas. 

 

It it wouldn't make sense if they had 20 spots and 15 blondes or 15 BGs. thats way there's a handful of each look.

lets be honest, girls ... whether it's official or not, I'm sure people always keep in their mind the concept of "diversity" and wanting to make sure they don't give the perception that they're biased in any ways. So whether there is a math formula or an exact quota or not, I'm sure they keep it in mind when selecting girls and when considering on the "deciding" / "it" factor.  IMHO

I hate to have to ask this--who is KD?

If one of the TCC gets hurt and has to have knee surgery does DCC pay all the expenses?

Kathryn Dunn.

And I doubt "all".

Anyone know why Caila or Sydney didn't try out? 

Caila would've been amazing!!

Sydney is ready to get married and settle down. I think she's just done w/ the professional "dancing." She's done it long enough. Caila probably just realized she really didn't want it.

Kat seems so super sweet but she's not NBA pow wow dance material in my opinion.  I think maybe it's time for her to move on or maybe find a pretty lyrical gymnastics team?

yeah I agree she's done it enough ... was surprised she went to Mavs post DCC ... 8 years is a long time.  Good for her and it'd be interesting to see where she ends up next

In high school one of my classmates did a study abroad program in Australia for half our senior year.  When she returned, she gave a speech and suddenly had this Aussie accent (a poorly done Aussie accent, may I add). 

 

I moved to the Philadelphia area 10 years ago, and often times when I meet a new person they ask me where I'm from, since I don't have to Philadelphia "accent"...yes, I say "water" not "wood-er" :) so I find it hard to believe this British accent thing is real.

lol ... that's funny (about your "aussie" friend from high school).

No quota. They try to pick a diverse group of young women.

Though I could swear they used that before in pictures with Jasmine and some others who are definitely not end girls.  I may have to search IG just to satisfy my own curiosity LOL but what you said makes way more sense.

There is a new thread for discussing other sport teams and their cheerleading squads. Please remember we still have The Rejected and Former DCCs threads for talking about girls who were cut during tryouts and training camp, and of course veteran DCCs who were cut at finals, and they have decided to try out for other teams. Regular rules still apply. Thank you.

Something I'm interested in (and that I hope belongs here!) is that many of the people here in the forums sound as though they have backgrounds as dancers and in cheer.  I am sadly about twice as old, four inches too short, a lifetime of dance, and twenty pounds too heavy for what DCC is looking for, but I would love to hear about what the dancing world is like and what people here might recommend in the way of private classes for a too-old-too-short-too-heavy-completely-inexperienced girl who would like to at least be able to dance around in her living room and pretend she is a DCC :)

Former Pom/drill/dance team girl here. Look and see if there is an adult fitbess/aerobics class near you that does beginner dance, hip hop, etc. Even a Zumba or Refit type of class would get your feet wet. Poms are fun and you'll love it!

I took dance as a child and quit after 3 or 5 years I don't remember so I couldn't tell you lol I have two friends in the dance world but they teach/dance at a studio that recycles costumes and dance moves year after year so they wouldn't be much of a help for questions I have about the competitive world.

I took ballet until junior high. Then took up swimming competitively because I'm not built like a ballerina. It would've been eating disorder city if i'd stuck with dance. My sister is built long and lean and she danced until college. We tried to get her to try out for the LSU golden girls or the dance team, but she was done!

I saw a video on facebook today of this man playing Thunderstruck on the bagpipes and they flamed when he hit certain notes. I was tempted to tweet it to DCC lol

The Badpiper! I've seen that too - they call it Plunderstruck of something to not violate copyright, but flaming bagpipes never get old.

Yes! I think the comments said that name. He was great. He would make an entertaining intro to Thunderstruck for the girls lol

I danced competitively for a company and did pom (why does that look like porn? haha) and switched to cheer in high school. I had a full ride academic scholarship in college and decided not to try out for the dance team to focus on school. These days I take an awesome dance fitness hip hop class four times a week.

Exotics = ambiguously ethnic aka not Northern European white or black. Could be biracial, Latina, Asian, Middle eastern, Native American, Sicilian, etc. Think Morgan, Mary, Nicole Bulcher, Kim, Simone, Jessica, maybe even Jinelle. 

My sisters in law and nieces fall into that category. They all have that Sicilian coloring and hair - like Nicole Bulcher - depending on how tan and how they wear their hair, you can't pinpoint an ethnicity or natonality.

Re: The Boots.  I am going to a western themed party later in the summer and I wanted to get real cowboy boots.  I went to the boot shop in our town - they carry Lucchese (producer of the white/silver cheerleader boot).  I was dying to get a pair of Lucchese, or at least try them on.  The boot shop doesn't carry the white boots but they told me they could get them if I really wanted them (I don't, hehe).  I tried on a very similar, almost identical pair in black.  I will tell you they do run small and narrow in the shaft of the boot, but I was able to get them on and point my toes!  Anyhow, even further to the point of how tiny the girls must be in real life, most of them have room around their leg in the shaft of the boot, and me with a regular leg could barely get the boot all the way up.  I wound up going with another brand that was more comfortable, but it was SO fun to try them on ;)

I follow one of the scouts for the team Bryan Broaddus on twitter and he said they're moving into their new offices in Frisco next Thursday. I wonder when DCC are moving.

not to be crazy but I am SO in the mood for a funfetti cupcake or a funfetti cookie... anyone ever make cookies out of those funfetti cake mix?  It's delish but the only thing I haven't figured out yet is how to get the frosting on the cookies to cool and harden.  I've had to stick them in fridge because the frosting was melting all over the place

In random news Sydney just started following me on twitter and I don't even follow her...so I'm confused lol

Oooh, no but I definitely need to google that!  The one I'm thinking of was the high school aged girls in competitive cheer. It was on after Making the Team for one season I think, maybe two. And then it went away. But the music didn't go anywhere. It is STUCK in my head.

Wasn't it just called "Cheer"? I remember watching a show about an All Star team that was on CMT. It profiled a lot of the girls including a couple of the co-captains and another one who was a flyer but she was young and unreliable and fell a lot during stunts. I felt bad for her. :( I even used to post on TWOP on the thread about that show way back in the day.

ETA here's the IMDB page.

oh never sick of Law and Order ... I was sick of Drop Dead Diva because I rewatched all 6 season about 10 times .. in a row!  I meant that L&O/Criminal Minds/ etc. were over for the season and no more new episodes
