Early 40s here too. I cringe at all the trendy names these kids pull out of their ass these days. C’mon, give your kids a strong name that they won’t be embarrassed of as an adult!

Same here. Alora Rose and KayDianna come to mind...The names, and I also hate the "alternative" spelling of names: BayLeigh, Madisyn, Emmaleigh, etc... My daughter is named Robin, born in 2011, I love that name, and there is no one else in her school (besides a teacher) with that name. But at the same time, it's not a "weird" name (imo)...

I think that, in this case, at least 80% of the board (if not more) actually support her and were only curious because not only do they support her but were actually kind of shocked and saddened that

Holly P has posted an Instagram story today of her performing part of the kick line and jump split as part of a class she’s been teaching. It genuinely makes me sad to see what an incredible dancer she still is and to think how many more seasons I’d have loved to enjoy watching her for! 

She really is a formidable dancer but her attitude got into the way. It genuinely shocked me how she showed no remorse or fear for losing her job in the short camera interview after that bad meeting with Kelli and Judy. As if she truly believed her dancing would let her get away with anything.

When Holly P. danced, I could never take my eyes off her.  She was one of the best I've ever seen on the team.

I definitely agree.  She was just so very young and still needed much guidance on maturity.  Lacey was very young too but for some reason she was much more mature (at least that I know of).

I'm going to assume dance backgroud could be to blame here. Holly was from a very small town and travelled to a studio over 2 hours away (if I remember from her segment). She was obviously the best there and knew it. Lacey was a studio dancer judging by her technique but wasn't she a Emerald Belle prior to DCC? Lacey is used to having to blend in, Holly has only ever had to stand out.

Oh this is so true. The emerald belles are amazing and it’s an incredibly affluent school district. Perfect analogy. Any time I watch the show with a DFW area friend, especially if they were on their high school dance teams, they don’t get the shock and awe about jump splits. We see them at so, so many high school games. 
 

IIRC, Holly was back and forth out of Tulsa (I pass the sign for Holly’s hometown often going to my parent’s house,) and would have been around quite a few talented dancers, but could have benefitted from the team aspect Lacey had in droves. 
 

I think Holly still had some sweetness to her rookie year, with a ton of ambition…stage mom plus new friends and being in a bigger city let a smug and crappy attitude take the forefront.  She did seem to be making her way as a working dancer pre Covid, tho, and I hope she can do that again.

Just went to Holly's Insta to see her story the first pic of her feed is her with her real estate crew, seeming to want to be like the ladies of Selling Sunset... I took a screenshot but its saying its too big to post but it looks like she's wearing her DCC white boots or a clear copy of them. Humor me and go look she's still clinging to her DCC years or the cache of being a DCC it seems.... 

Also in response to a post above, I agree Holly suffered from little girl being a star in her Missouri hometown then coming to DCC where she's not the only star. She always gave me very confident, smug vibes... She definitely can dance the pants off most DCC past or present

I'm also in the camp of Holly being the "big fish in a little pond" in her home town, then came to the DCC and her "size" was reduced some regarding the talent pool.  She now had to compete with the others for attention and I don't think she liked it.  She definitely wanted the spotlight and didn't seem to like sharing it.  Fortunately, she learned to know when to blend in and when to stand out when it came to dancing.  Unfortunately, she took her "addiction to attention" in a direction that was NOT appropriate and got herself cut.

I'll take a young woman who knows her worth (Holly) over a young woman who is trying so hard to fit into a box that her face is nigh un-recognizable (Lacy, and countless others), every single time.

apples & oranges....Holly highly overestimated her worth. When you make the choice you accept the consequences, big lesson for Holly. Replay the scene in Kelli's office...Holly blatently lied then did some serious backpedaling when directly called out on it.

I think the key is that good DCC dancers routinely drink while underage and have always (and always will) mess around with players.

The DCC marketing has always been the same as it was for the young Britney Spears: Look like an object purely intended for the male gaze, but pretend you're a good Christian virgin who wouldn't let butter melt in your mouth.

Holly's anger (and Jenna's, because she was pissed too) came from being called on behavior that they had been engaging in since they made the team, and who learned how and where to do it from vets that got away with it.

We have to remember that the DCC are not what they pretend to be, and management knows that.

I think the key here is staying under the radar. Holly isn't the type...so it came to their attention and it couldn't be hidden.

I'm not defending Holly per say, but just keep in mind that the show is a reality show that is cut and edited for the most drama. We never saw the full sit down; what we did see could have been very different from reality. 

Hey y'all, been gone for a minute---hello to those I don't recognize, hello again to those I do. 

Now that VK is no longer a DCC I figured I'd ask here---has it been shared as to why? And what she's up to now?

Regarding Holly P and point… do we think she’d have stood a chance to become point if she’d stayed on? Dance wise I’d say Hell Yeah! But as for her looks… I don’t know. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder of course, and she certainly looked pretty, but for some reason her looks never screamed poster girl to me. But then again, neither did Amy or Maddie and both made it to point.🤔

Not arguing with you - promise! 😉

But at one point, Holly P. was a poster girl for MTT.

Before that drama imploded, they seemed to actually care about good dancers being point. Kashara, while pretty too, had a big pop about her dancing that someone like Holly also has. Then we got stuck with Amy and Maddie---which was like watching paint dry. Holly was far more dynamic.

Can someone tell me when Hannah's rookie season for the Chicago luvabulls? Was it before DCC? I wonder why she left that for DCC when she clearly seems to love them a bit more than DCC judging by that ig post.

Here’s her first person account of making DCC. Not sure how long she was a Luvabull prior.

Hannah was a Luvabulls Dancer for the 2016-17 season. I don't know if she did a 2nd season with them. Her rookie DCC season was in 2018.

I remember her saying in TC going across the football field was different than going across a basketball court.

JInelle said something like that too, her rookie season, when Kelli asked her how the Melbourne Storm came on the football field and Jinelle was like "just running on and shaking the poms"

They tend to do more of a DCC style entrance now I think, most NRL teams do (when they're allowed on the field anyway).

I’m a member in an alumni NFL cheer group and was disappointed to see this about Dana Kilmer. For context, the owner of the group is coordinating a trip for alumni of group to meet up in Cabo and I guess those 2 ladies for some reason don’t want the event to happen. I’m not familiar with Dana Kilmer???? Does she work for the organization or just an alumni? This seems like petty mean girl behavior 😗 I know she is too grown for that.

I found this answer to a Q&A on Jennifer Amburn’s  Instagram very interesting!   It
sounds like she would definitely want Judy’s job rather than Kelli’s! 
 

Also she said she’s not watched her season or any of the seasons since she became a DCC. Do y’all honestly think that’s true?  How could you not watch your season back just to see what was said and how you looked and were portrayed. 
 

And she was asked if she would ever judge DCC and she said as much as she would like to, she didn’t think she could because she would be too biased.  She said she’d rather be a mentor and help people through the process for all pro teams.
