I think they are ask or go to Kelli and Judy in order to be considered. I think Kelli, Judy, Charlotte, and other employees consider which girls will be All-Stars.

MyFavShows January 11, 2016 Share January 11, 2016 What is the exact job description of the all stars? - I know they fill in for injured girls like Emma did this year a lot, and they do misc. appearances (not sure what the exact difference is between the appearances all stars do versus the current DCCs, and do they ever mix all stars and DCC together for appearances?), but what else do they do? Do they get paid more or less than an active DCC? Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/48016-current-dccs-my-boots-do-the-talking/page/39/#findComment-1859782
RazzleberryPie January 11, 2016 Share January 11, 2016 AT one point on the old website, they had a Q&A page with either Kelli or Judy. All Stars were briefly touched upon. If I remember correctly, at the time they had to be at least three year vets who had retired. I'm pretty sure though that there have been a couple recently with two years only. All Stars are asked by invitation by Kelli and perform in press boxes, meet and greets, etc., especially at the stadium. I guess this makes sense that they can sort of roam the stadium while the actual squad is on sidelines or whatever. No Show Group requirement. I don't think they ever answered if they practice with the regular team or separately. As for weight, there have been several all stars who noticeably gain weight as all stars and are not as trim as they were on the squad. Of course no one is an out of shape blob, but Trisha Trevino, Kelsi Reich and Justine PHillips are three that I thought were noticably bigger as all stars. They would've received weight warnings as regular DCC, but who knows with all stars.

Olivia Sharber cheered 2 seasons and was an all star. Someone asked Kelli on social media about it and she said they didn't have enough 3+ girls so made an exception.

LaurenBrook January 11, 2016 Share January 11, 2016 I can't decide about Loren. Sometimes I think she seems like the type to stay forever, other times she seems more mature and farther along in life (like career, etc.) than some of the others and will want to focus on that more down the road. I wonder what she is like as a choreographer? She seems to be the go-to girl for most of the rookies when trying to learn style and steps. She is so quiet on social media but I see other girls on the squad reference her all the time like "Love my Lo! Such a huge help to me during camp!" etc. Wonder if she'd ever try to work for DCC after retirement... I hope Kat stays at least another year! Just because of her age I can't see her staying for more than like 2 or maybe 3 but she seems youthful so who knows!

RazzleberryPie January 11, 2016 Share January 11, 2016 Loren is a teacher, so as long as she stays in the classroom, vs going into administration or something, she mostly has to maintain credentials, keep up with continuing Ed, etc instead of vaulting through hoops to get to higher levels. With teacher hours, staying on as a DCC is more feasible than a lot of other careers that have odd hours, lots of travels, etc. One thing I like about Loren is that she has a real, full time job. Like real as in required a degree/training, is full time, has a real career path, etc. She isn't juggling three or four part time dance teacher/barre instructor/Pyramid sales/part time receptionist for a DCC affiliate. She impresses me, because she clearly loves pro dancing and teaching, but she has her head on her shoulders enough to have a Big Girl job, too. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/48016-current-dccs-my-boots-do-the-talking/page/39/#findComment-1861067
Dccfan126 January 11, 2016 Share January 11, 2016 I think context on the show means a lot. Take Danielle - there is a subset of people who always want to say she is on the bubble because of her weight or dancing. It's pretty obvious that regardless of your personal opinions on those things, she isn't. They chose her for the new intro, which isn't something they take lightly. She makes calendar, she was the cover of the swim suit issue. Like her or not, they've made the decision she will be here. Loren is kind of the same. Kelli and Judy aren't that dumb -- they are producing an entire show that has a segment of Loren training TCCs, and then cutting her the next year.

MyFavShows January 11, 2016 Share January 11, 2016 (edited) I have always thought that Lauren does not have good lines in her dancing. I still remember her into scene where they showed her teaching a class at her school or a studio or whatever and she kicked her leg up and her hips were all wrong for what a proper dance kick is supposed to look like. I've seen a lot of other shots of her dancing w/ similar placement issues - like perhaps she never learned the basics of ballet. However, she has a lot of power in her dancing and is very beautiful (especially once they darkened her hair), she seems like she's tall too and they always like that. Her swimsuit photos are gorgeous too. I think they'll keep her as long as she wants to stay, and may even make her a GL cause of the teaching skills she has - don't know about show group though.

She's stiff like a cheerleader and not fluid like a dancer, but clearly, she's keeping up or she wouldn't have been a pro team dancer for this long. She isn't lyrical show group material, but she seems to be aware of that. Those awful leaps across the stage during the show group auditions - I seriously think they made them all audition for the MTT show. Much like Lauren Williams and some of the horrific anthem singers.
