So is VK trying to make herself known as a choreographer?  Saw her new SM tags of Kalina Koreo.  Also what’s the deal with all the Celsius and pink straw obsession?  Was that how she lost weight?? She seems to be posting less now?  And what is TK up to now?

Truly shouldn’t have read these I suppose, but curiousity got to me when I heard I was discussed. I understand we pursue our dreams of being a part of the most elite cheerleaders in the world & wi

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

I hope that whoever told you that you were being discussed also told you there are many positive comments about you on this forum.

Saw today she did another press interview and photos.  It is featured in “ the cut.”  The writer even mentioned her orange fingers from self tanner, and toenail appearance.  Also it seems there have been Netflix cameras in her classes…are they doing a follow up feature on her??  Is she getting paid from all these interviews, photo ops, Celsius drinks, and now a camera crew?

I just watched Episode 4: Boot Buddies and it's illuminating to see the 37-team rotation from two years ago (Zhenya and Kally's rookie season) explained! 

Kelly and Judy did a disservice to that team with their poor communication.

I've listened/watched all 4 episodes and it's refreshing to hear their experiences. I like how they're both honest and don't shy away from critiquing the organisation whilst still being proud and appreciative. They've fast become two of my faves, considering we didn't get much info about their rookie class with no TV show.

She talks about the "birthday party" more on this podcast around 20ish minutes. Definitely a "grain of salt" situation! LOL

 

I will never get past her terrible mother calling Chandler "Grandma" when her own daughter has the gummiest smile. And for the love of all that is good and holy somebody please put some lowlights in VKs hair and lose that horrible lipstick shade...

I agree. Tina is pretty manly looking IMO so she shouldn't be making comments about looks. I don't think she was even good looking  when she was a DCC.

Congrats to former DCC Jenna who will be an assistant director for Allen Americans Ice Angels, along with former AAIA and TCC finalist Melannie Montalvo (who withdrew from DCC finals this year due to a foot injury).

Also, this year's TCC Savannah Arevalo made the AAIA team!

I know former DCC Lisa used to be in the assistant director role for AAIA. I am thinking she did it for only one year?

Seems like Jenna has done a lot of things since she left the DCC. I remember when she was supposed be a director of an Ice Girls type of team for a pro hockey team in LA. That was in 2019 and never happened but the website for it is still up. https://ladybugsicegirls.com/our-squad/

Jenna's post DCC path is interesting.  She seems like a career oriented person albeit one who's struggling to find something that suits her in which she's successful.

I saw many sm posts about her trying to start a career as a choreographer or influencer back in the day. She briefly  tried to become a reality star with Big Brother though that didn't work out. She did the occasional dance class but nothing structural as far as I know. The Lady Bug thing seemed like the very first proper job but that probably fell through because of Covid 19. Hopefully her new job as assistant director works out.

I have wondered whether a lack of a degree and proper work experience in a real job has worked against her in this respect. She started DCC right after high school after all, and it was all she had and did.

Episode 5 was a definite eye-opener in the chaos the cheerleaders have to put up with.

The story about the drone and it getting stuck in a cheerleader's hair was crazy! And they still made them repeat the routine afterwards, with the drone stuck her hair. They really don't care for the cheerleaders...

I'm feeling so relieved for them and others who left!

If she's trying, she doesn't seem to be succeeding.  Evidently, she was "teaching" some of Maddie Massengill's choreography (I think it was some she'd done for the DCC, but it could be some of her own personal stuff) and Victoria was saying it was something she had come up with instead of giving Maddie credit for it.  Maddie had reached out to her and told her to stop teaching it, but Victoria didn't.  No one would have known if someone hadn't posted a video of it and Maddie called Victoria out for it.  When someone asked her why she hadn't reached out to Victoria about it privately, Maddie said she had, but Victoria didn't stop teaching it.

Rumor also has it that Judy and Kelli have asked Victoria to stop teaching DCC routines, but Victoria has refused (not sure if Victoria's trying to pass them off as routines she personally came up with or if she's truly teaching DCC stuff, but I'm leaning towards it being a combination of both reason).  If she keeps this up, I wouldn't be surprised if she (and possibly her mom) is issued a lawsuit.  If so, I doubt any dance company (Rockettes or otherwise) would touch her because they wouldn't want someone like that in the mix.

I watched it go down on TikTok.  A student of VK’s posted her video of doing Get Ready in which Maddie M. Choreographed in 2020 for the DCC squad.  Former and current DCC began commenting on this poor girls TikTok video things like we love this routine Maddie M. choreographed.  Maddie M. let the girl know VK didn’t get permission to use her choreography.  Some people in the comments accused DCC of illustrating their bully behaviors. Others, sided with MaddieM.  that VK shouldn’t teach Maddie M. choreography without consent.  Maddie was asked why she sought out a public forum to discuss the above.  Maddie M. said she did talk to VK about using her choreography.  Not sure about Judy and Kelli but on the Gloss Angeles podcast VK said they asked her not to teach Thunderstruck on her TikTok account.  Unclear if VK believed she could teach everything else?  Or, was she told not to teach DCC choreography?  Whatever the case, that dance is Maddie’s.  Maybe it was a miscommunication or misunderstanding.

I am inclined to believe that VK has just chosen to ignore those because she has a life where she is right and can do what she wants to do. She’s no longer a teenager and can use excuse if I didn’t know any better. For someone who’s been in the world as long as she has been, she would know that we acknowledge where we got the information from and it’s no different than in writing a paper. If you don’t site the original author then it’s called plagiarism. Although I do know people in other countries, feel that taking information from someone else and not giving her credit is just called flattery. Perhaps VK subscribes to that belief.

Not here in Europe though. It would 100% be classified as intellectual property infringement!

VK may be an adult, but I sincerely doubt whether she is bright enough to oversee the possible consequences of her actions. It’s not just a potential legal issue, but such actions will likely make future clients or dance teams reconsider hiring her as a dancer or choreographer.

I was just trying to be more circumspect but as a college professor, I have seen this happen with students who have a cultural background from Africa, where it is seen as flattery to take someone else’s words without giving them credit and use them in something you’ve written. Every culture is different about a lot of different things and this was just one of the ones that I ran into frequently.

Congratulations to former DCC Gabby! She was married this past weekend, and her gown was stunning!

Daphne and Caroline were bridesmaids. Quite a few other DCC were in attendance -  Maddie, Tess, Bridget, Taylor, Jalyn, Cianna, Alanna, Kashara, Alexis, Heather, Jessika, and Rachel W.
