2017 Tryouts and Training Camp: Candidates Included

[bigskygirl]

Interesting Judy did not agree with a few of the choices the other judges made. Judy and I probably would agree 99.9% of the time on who should and should not make it into TC and the squad. I admit I am surprised at some of the vets who made it back, but to each their own.

Why aren't they showing Kelli's solo? Or at least a taste of it. (vet Kelli) 

Also, who was the Patriots Cheerleader who tried out and did she make it? 

I need a road map of names matched with faces ugh. 

Alexandria is the patriots cheerleader (unless there was more than 1) and she made it

Are there any vets that have not been confirmed either by DJ EJ's pic or through their personal social media accounts?

Only non confirmed are the ones who have been allegedly cut. Radio silence from allie, heather and rayleee

Kali posted a video of her practicing her solo (6th swipe)

She is good. It's just not her year. A decision was made late in the game to try out and she realizes what she needs to do and will do, to  make it next year. Some very kind words of encouragement were given to her shortly after announcements from someone she admires. She was told she is beautiful, talented and was just on the bubble. She told her to take this year and work on power. I agree! Grateful she made a point to find Dayton and talk to her, it may have stung a little more if she didn't heard these words. As her mom, I could not be more proud of her courage. She's grown up around this, but hasn't necessarily trained for it. Her commitment to dance fell into ballet and contemporary. We approached this entire experience with reality...80+ talented girls, some with a ton of experience and some with none. Each judge has opinions of what they like and it boils down to making this perfect team for this next season. I've lived the process for 28 years and I never try to figure out why. Although our excitement has been quieted for now, our family has a strong faith in knowing He has perfect timing. There is a plan for her. 

Bummer. From her dance videos on insta, she looked perfectly ready per my non-expert opinion. A lot of us on here are rooting for her and are confident she will come back even stronger next year!

Heather's solo looked amazing, and she doesn't look like she's gained. If it came down to her interview she must have really bombed it.

hey guys! long time lurker, first time poster :)

quick vent - i don't know dayton but it kinda annoys me that "it's not her year" but K/J are willing to take random risks on girls we know don't have a prayer of making the team (christina/other randoms). shelly and dayton sound as gracious as can be about the decision but i have a hard time believing dayton lacked power/whatever other performance quality (on the margin) relative to the other candidates. if she was cut to atone for perceived cassie sins (and i'm in the minority, as i actually quite like cassie), i don't think that's fair.

i know nepotism is wrong (i'm definitely not apart of any old boys club), but i can't help but find it strange that K/J could cut dayton and then continue the same seemingly close relationship with shelly? i hope this same standard is applied to sam if she ever decides to try out. after a few years of watching cassie stumble around tryouts we know it certainly wasn't applied to her!

I don't think they cut her because of the situation with Cassie. If I remember correctly there was another legacy a few years back who was also cut. And I hope Dayton's cut won't affect their friendship unless it was 100% the wrong decision to make. Personally I think that she has the potential but from the few clips we've seen so far I would agree that she needs another year to work on her power. And since she got such positive feedback, I'm sure next year she will come back and amaze us all!

[SopranoKris]

Finally got caught up! I had to work all weekend, so I wasn't able to follow "live" during the TCC announcements.

I'm so freaking happy our girl Kelsey made it back. YAY :)

I live in MI and the local news mentioned Cristi was trying out for DCC. Sorry to hear she didn't make it.

There are a few TCCs whom I'm interested to see when MTT airs (Gina, Alexandra, etc.) I don't know too many names because I haven't had time to keep up this season. Grad school is eating up all my free time.

While it sucks to hear vets were cut, I can see why the Allie & Heather were cut. I always thought Heather had a "little girl" look to her. The uniform wasn't too flattering on Allie's frame. Don't get me wrong, I wish I was that thin. But in DCC standards, it just made her look square. Sad, because she seemed really sweet. Raylee is one that I was very surprised about. She must have had a lackluster audition this time around.

Hopefully, they'll post an official photo with names soon, so we know exactly who is/isn't in TC this year.

@QuiteCalM, girl, I miss reading your witty posts! Glad to see you back :)

christina must have slayed this time around! good for her! can't hate on that. 

I knew Yuko would make it, but crapsticks on Selina. She is boring, and she looks like a Mean Girl cast member. Christina is a big whiner, so they probably just brought her back for the drama llama. Maybe this time she'll have a boil or something, that prevents her from, you know, whatever.

Wow, if Raylee is really cut, just wow. I wouldn't be as surprised about Heather H and Allie, for purely aesthetic reasons, because they are obviously both great dancers. But I felt like Raylee was really coming into her own as a DCC and becoming one of their glamor girls. But I guess if her solo was boring...shit happens. I'm sad though.

So surprised Alise didn't make it! She seemed to have it all. I'm curious about Dayton and Kalyssa.

Raylee really grew on me, and I am very interested to see how this plays out on the show. For some of the people to make it through based on what we have seen, and for her to not, is kind of shocking. (That outfit, though...christ. Didn't she have ONE good enough friend to tell her Hell No?)

But charlottes daughter and sam finglass don't dance do they? 

There was a pic where Miranda looked like she had one boob across her chest. No space between. Not sure if she has odd impants or a weird angle and bra, but it did look more like one smooth boob across her chest than two breasts.

There is more than one pic, iirc. She has a busted boob job.

Also, in that video...Jinelle, I love you girl, but when you turn your peacock ass to the camera and (probably) shake it...nothing really moves and it looks like you are pooping on the floor.

Call me clueless but I didn't realize until I saw the above video that S8 Kelly (popcorn) tried out again. Did she make it or no? I liked her in S8 and would love to see her get further this time.

If you can, will you share your info with us? I wont ask you to prove it or how you know because you would need to be an insider and therefore would get in trouble. 

Last year, I was so pleasantly surprised by how accurate the insider info was on this forum. When the season aired having read every single post on this thread it made the show more enjoyable for me. I had originally thought it would take away from the show but for me I knew who not to get my hopes up for.

Thanks @dccfan37 I'm sad but not totally surprised that Kelly didn't get another shot. She had a lot to overcome being such an early cut in S8

Yuko only had to know who the President is? Wow, must be nice to be a shoe in.

Was she actually friends or more like Holly and strategically becomes BFFS with the right people? I still thjnk it's side eye worthy that Holly, who was homeschooled hours away from Texas, is so tight with the bosses' daughters. 

My tin foil hat makes me wonder if they cut Dayton on purpose this year, just to help prevent another Cassie situation. Now she can say she was previously cut, which makes it look more like she made it on her own. Personally, I think she would've made it on her own anyway, but she can't avoid the connection and rumors that automatically surround it. She'll make it next year. 

This. Same as when we see a Miss America and say 'she's not even that pretty.' Maybe so, but she showed up and competed. 

Yuko has to be connected in some way. If they were just looking to recruit pretty girls from Asia, they'd hire straight up dancers who speak English. They want Yuko for a reason. We just don't know exactly what that reason is. 

Meredith Oden was cut the first time she tried out and she was a legacy.  She worked on it and came back stronger the next year and stayed for ? at least 3 years.  I know not everyone liked her but I did.  I am thinking that Dayton will be back next year with a stronger package and will begin her DCC career then.

[RazzleberryPie]

I'd be mad at Yuko's only question being who is the President..........except we've had several born and raised, native English speaking, American girls who can't answer that question.

The extra is real on this thread right now!  Holly and Allie are not from Dallas so it makes sense that they learned how to make friends with girls near their own ages. Who cares if it is their bosses daughters.  In this area, both girls are known around the dance community from competitions.  My sister competed against Holly and she is located her in the North Little Rock area. 

I still need someone to explain the Miranda thing... I remember her from Arkansas! 

I believe it was discussed on a thread when Holly was in her first year and people saw posts with Sam.  Holly was 18 and Sam was probably 17-18 and struck up a conversation etc since it appears that Sam comes to the games, practices etc just like Cassie has done.  Holly wasn't from the area and just thought the two became friends.
