Goodness, is that Allie in #74? Fairly obvious why she was cut...

I was wondering who that was. Not a great photo of her.

One shoe, Allie! nooooo!

She has the same shape now she did last year. I guess it's an issue now that there's no story arc. 

Ok I'll bite. What's the one shoe thing?

Nothing crazy. I hate one full jazz shoe and one bare foot. Looks like a few girls did that. Either do two shoes, two bare feet, or even a half sole/cheater and a bare foot.

So wait, you mean that's a THING? Like, a conscious decision to wear only one shoe? Silly.

a lot of dancers do it these days...just put a shoe on their main turning foot and it lets them make better turns, etc.  But I think it's so weird like what is the big deal to wear two?? 

at least i haven't seen QUITE as many flannel shirts around the waist lately...LOL

Yeah nothing too good.  A lot of people ask weird questions ... I'm like um no she will not marry you and stop asking if she has a boyfriend lol.  She looks a lot younger and prettier in video tan she does in pictures.  Very fresh faced and not the overly mature look.

Just so everyone knows, this pose can be your friend when you are a woman of a certain age (40's). I never look better than when I'm flat on my back letting any possible wrinkles fall behind me. ??

A friend who dances told me that sometimes those portable ballroom floors are really slippery in jazz shoes, and she'd rather be barefoot than risk slipping and sliding, especially when landing a leap. But of course, it's harder to turn in bare feet. So they compromise. One foot bare and and the other not. I agree it looks tacky. Though we're talking about a room full of women in dark suntan footless tights and pale white feet. It's all tacky.

It never occurred to me that the tights would be footless!!  I'm just amazed at that for some reason.

Footless tights make it convenient for dancers to make adjustments for their feet or shoes.  My two daughters danced ballet, hip-hop, jazz, contemporary.  The ballet shoes required little toe pads, toe socks, toe spacers, tape, etc.  Some tights have a split sole on the bottom of the foot, so you can fold it back to get to your toes, or even roll it up to your ankle.  Every dancer has different products that they need. The footless tights make it easy to customize your toes for your pointe shoes.  Then you can quickly take them off for a difference dance shoe.

The girl who was roommates with Jessika last year but didn't make it past TC (Kendell?)...did she audition this year?  If so, is she still around?

she didn't audition this time...she works for the Star though (with previous DCC Kat)!

That's good ... she's so gorgeous and in a much natural way than her "twins".  It has got to be tough to keep setting yourself up for disappointment.  I'm not sure why they don't pick her ... I think she wasn't powerful enough in her dancing?  Can't recall

Random but did Jinelle retire or is she still on?  Any chance she becomes Pro Bowl or Point girl?  Can someone give Jenna a run for money?

Jinelle made training camp. She is the only 5 year veteran candidate. Point girl seems to be quite a reach since she wasnt near the top of the triangle this past year.

In my opinion Erica, Lacey, Holly, and perhaps Amy L. can give Jenna a run for point girl. Pro Bowl?  She is a candidate is all I see right now.

Jenna will never be point.  She has an abnormally short neck that makes her look lie a young boy in drag.  Plus, she has an abdominal scar.  Trust me, this has been discussed by the powers that be.  She won't be point.

Jenna has been at point for certain performances before, so I'm not sure why she definitely won't be point this upcoming season. Personally I'm team Erica, but I think there's a good chance it will be Jenna.

Worth mentioning too that no one has cared about Jenna's scar up until this point, so not sure why it would matter now. They've never even photoshopped it out of calendar photos. People have scars. Life goes on.

(Said in a voice of a whiny 5 year old) Ahhhhhhh....buuuuuuuuuutttt....SMPLSIMON, Jenna SAID that Kelli and Judy talked her out of retiring...her, Jenna, not Jenn K., not Melissa, not Jaxx, or Megan, or Amy T. Or Claire. 

When I read that, I rolled my eyes so hard that they are still stuck behind my brain. Darn you, Jenna, your THIRSTY self proclaimed "QUEEN Royalty Soul" has blinded me!!!!

Caring about it and putting it front and center are two different things.

Pretty sure the scar and her neck don't matter about her being point at all..she performed at point in her group more than she performed inside the triangle..so there's that.

My point exactly. She's been front and center on more than one occasion. They obviously aren't ashamed of her scar.

I hope Jenna is honored this year. She earned a spot on the squad at 18. Many 18 year olds don't have the poise, maturity or experience to prove to the judges they're the whole package. She's been a great performer, leader and teammate for six years. 

There was another loooooooooooong lasting vet recently who I think even Kelli & Judy were sick and tired of.  She never saw a pro bowl, even when she stayed on the squad longer than almost anybody! (My grandmother always said fish, like company, stinks after three days. This vet definitely overstayed her welcome!)

i don't think anyone, including Kelli & Judy, are sick of Jenna.

That's exactly what I was thinking about when I posted that! We really must be related, we have to be. 

Its something we can all use eventually ?

I don't think we're allowed to be this happy on an official thread....we'll have to take this to small talk so we don't interrupt bigly huge talk.
