RazzleberryPie April 16, 2017 Share April 16, 2017 6 minutes ago, RhiRhi said: Surprisingly a lot of the Kilgore girls don't make it and I think it's because they're so buttoned-up. Girls like Robin, Rachel and I think Holly H had all been also dancing at UNT before they made DCC which gave them more of a Pom style. Very true! Kilgore girls have perfect kicks and insane flexibility - I was NEVER that flexible, so I'm jealous. However, Kilgore is such a neat, old fashioned, precision team, that these girls looks like something out of a 1940s musical instead of a 2017 pom team. I love the Rangerettes, and this girl above looks like a really good candidate if she learns how to be a little bit more powerful and Nasiter (TM Kitty Carter). 10 minutes ago, crazydegulady said: Another from the list - I really like this girl's dancing, she just pulls some weird faces and she needs to tone down the makeup a bit LOVE THIS ONE. Give her some less dramatic lipstick and put her on the team. She's got decent technique, really good control, she's pretty, in shape and has power. Fun to watch and confident. Not loving the lyrical dance - she does have really good control, but maybe its the speed - she doesn't have the best technique with some of those more acro moves. I'm comparing her to Erica 100%. 3 Link to comment

The other two that performed to Luke Bryan- I can't judge just yet because I really don't like that dance. Heck, it almost looks like i could do it with how simple it is. I know DCC occasionally does 'country' dances, but considering that's not the norm I'd love to see the candidates do more pom style. Link to comment

RazzleberryPie April 17, 2017 Share April 17, 2017 35 minutes ago, MrsEVH said: Wonder if she got some DCC advice from Brooke Nix. Two things with this girl: 1) she's good. I like her. If she has Brooke's endorsement they're going to pay attention to that. Compare her to the Rangerette and you can see how this blond girl has bolder, less restrained moves. She just looks more confident and comfortable. Also when she does that double pirouette into sort of a side jump with some footwork, it isn't messy. The double flows and isn't slow. 2) I was also trying to watch the girl in front of her to our left, in the blue top and black shorts. She didn't look bad either. 2 Link to comment
California Girl April 17, 2017 Share April 17, 2017 Good point. A former Miami Dolphins cheerleader would probably not audition for the DCC without the support of the Dolphins choreographer (former DCC Brooke Nix). And Brooke would not support a candidate unless she thought that she had what it took to be a DCC. 1 Link to comment
California Girl April 17, 2017 Share April 17, 2017 The recent posts and discussions on the Former DCCs: Missed, Forgotten, or Gone Before Her Time thread made me realize how much you can observe about a person's lifestyle, values, friendships, and even relationships with family, through their social media postings on sites like Instagram and Twitter. As an example on this thread, the Instagram pictures and posts of the Kilgore Rangerette and the Miami Dolphins Cheerleader make them seem like very nice people. I guess that my little piece of advice to any young woman planning to audition for the DCC would be to clean up, and selectively and strategically edit your social media posts before auditions. Do you post about late nights at the club or bar with your friends? Edit those out, they make you look like a party girl. Do you like to take selfies in skimpy bikinis or tight micro-minis? Edit those out, they make you look self-absorbed and vain. Do you have closeups of your face looking fully made up? Remove them, you want to look more like the all-natural, girl-next-door (not The Girls Next Door, mind you). Do you have photos of your latest LV handbag, your most recent trip to Vegas, or your Louboutin sneakers? Remove, they make you look spoiled and materialistic. DOs: Include photos of you dancing at rehearsals, or working out hard. They highlight your talent and demonstrate your devotion to your pursuit of this goal. Include photos that reflect those down-to-earth things you actually enjoy doing. Hikes with your friends, fishing with your brothers, brunch with your mom. Include photos that tell us something about your educational or professional goals. Did you make the Dean's List again? Take a screenshot and post it. Did you take the elementary school class you teach on a field trip? Show us a picture of that. Post photos of your true friends, a person's friendships tell us a lot about them. Include photos of your volunteer work, if you have any. (My apologies to Kelli and Judy as now all of your candidates will look like Mother Teresa, and you will no longer be able to tell who is who, what is what, or garner any useful information at all about these young women). 10 Link to comment
EricaShadows April 17, 2017 Share April 17, 2017 If any of the girls have watched the show in the past, they should already know this. They should also know this if they've done any serious job searching in the past few years (including on LinkedIn and other networking sites for the "serious" job searcher). It's been mentioned all over the place that you should clean up your social media i.e. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram if you want people to take you seriously. Expect that all the times you've posted about going out drinking/partying with your friends to be brought up in interviews. Expect ANYTHING you post to be brought up because, if it could affect the company that's looking to hire you, it could affect your chances of working there. 4 Link to comment

Exactly @EricaShadows the young women who are considering auditioning for the DCC should already know this. And yet when you look through some of the Instagram posts and photos for some of the supposed candidates, you wonder whether they have received the memo. 1 Link to comment

And still every year, some gals get caught with their pants down. It's hilarious. What seems so obvious to us, many of these girls are just oblivious on. I'd blame their age, but once you hit early to mid 20's they should know better. It's a good thing they're pretty! Who was that super ditzy girl from south Texas who danced great but just so, so dingy? Dark hair, bright pink costume. 1 Link to comment

Who was that super ditzy girl from south Texas who danced great but just so, so dingy? Dark hair, bright pink costume. That was Brittany. She didn't know what the two major political parties were. I remember her saying after her solo routine, "I feel much more better now." I knew there was little chance she was going to make the team after that interview, too much of an ambassador risk. I also cringed at last season's interview when Hunter couldn't name a classical author. 3 Link to comment

I don't think Kelli would make her get another weave, and if she did, I don't know if Saundra would agree to it. She looked really cute when it was really short.
