Wasn’t there also talk about Megan C throwing Kendall under the bus because she didn’t meet with Melissa or something like that? There’s so many rumors on the board but I remember that being one. I always thought she was a great dancer and stunning. 
. I’d hate to see a repeat of an Amy, Maddie, and Lexie type of triangle. 

She didn’t throw Kendall under the bus. She tried to tell her that if TPTB suggest you do something or take some advice YOU DO IT. Maybe said a little bit intense but she was trying to help her and frustrated bc Kendall was like yeah, they offered help but I don’t really want it.

Also 1000% agree on the current triangle. Needs to GO.

I see that Breelan was a beautiful bride in January.  Congrats to her!

She looks like an elegant Miley there. Girl was out of her league and out of shape but I think she’s gorgeous.

Word around town was that Megan tattled to Kelli that Kyndall was refusing help, and that Kyndall said something about Melissa's pet projects always getting cut (which they really don't...they make the team THEN get cut LOL).  That being said, with all the raving I do about Megan, clearly I don't believe it 🙂

Speaking of former DCCs, what's the story on why Kitty Carter was so abruptly erased from the DCC scene? I mean, it's like she never existed. They didn't mention the girls prepping at the Dance Factory, she was absolutely GONE in Season 14.

I am wondering if it had to do with her "expertise" came into question.  People watching the show did not like the fact that Kitty felt that Victoria earned her way onto the squad during the season VK was actually cut in TC.  VK was overweight, and Kitty has always been unforgiving in previous seasons when other's were gaining weight.  Kitty surely brought up Tara's appearance.  

Perhaps, they wanted to have Kitty sit one season out to blow off steam over that.  Just my opinion though!

I wonder if it was the deleted scene they had on CMT where Megan was helping Melissa work with a group of rookies.  The advice from both ladies was spot on.  It's one of the best examples of what Melissa can bring to the team if they would use her correctly and not the one on one mentoring that is so scripted.

And sorry, but Megan was going into her second year and already training rookies.  If she felt that Kyndall could be helped by that small group session, then Kyndall should have said thank you Ma'am, I will be there.

And if Megan offered Kyndall a tuna fish sandwich with sardines....

I was just watching some Jen Colvin vids on youtube.  I am not sure if this video has been shared here before.  It has former DCCs like KaShara and Lacey.  I also spotted current DCCs Taylor Pederson and Amanda Dilks in the video, and this is before they auditioned for DCC, as it appears it was uploaded in March 2019.

I kinda do believe it, but I think it’s kinda expected in this team to share these things with Kelli so i’m not going to judge her based on that. I think she was truly amazing and she should have stayed for longer. I’d rather have “fatties” on the team like Melissa, Megan, Jen and Kashara who just bring it every time, than being bored to death by skinny lackluster dancers like Amy and Tess at point/triangle.

Yep, @TUOwl84, she was!  I'm happy she got to do the DCC thing then moved on to what looks like a good career.  I'm NOT happy, though, that they made an example out of her & did the jiggly belly close-up when she was going for year 2.

Wasn't she on a college dance team after getting cut?

I believe she was cut "quietly" she was hardly shown on the last time she tried out in season 12, for her 4 th season. 

 

I heard a rumour that she tried out again for season 13 but was cut before either semi's or finals I cant remember which it was and where I read the rumour. I didn't see her in there. But then again I suck at recognising her face in that sea of people at auditions. I still cannot spot her properly esp in season 12. She was there till like half way of the episodes esp when gl and 2nd L was announced, if you have subtitles on.

If I remember correctly I believe Kitty said she wasn't happy about how the show was being betrayed both in terms of the team and how they were portraying her or something like that. I cant remember where I read that. It might have been on this forum, might have been elsewhere. But that may explain why Kitty isn't featured on the show as much as she used to/completely wiped from being shown.

 

It is the exact same problem/reason as Jay Johnson being wiped from being shown on the show anymore. I actually liked and enjoyed Jay's workout sessions on the show.

Have you seen this?  The proposal:)

 

Thank you so much for posting this, @scorpio1031! I have adored Lacey since her rookie season. It's wonderful to see her so loved and happy! I see he proposed on the day my dad had a stem cell transplant, so this was in a period I was off these boards and missed all this entirely. I remember hoping to myself she wasn't marrying some tool, and this video suggests to me they really are perfect for each other. That's 1000x more prayer than I would ever want in a proposal, but that's the point: he's perfect for her and the kind of family and extended family environment she needs and deserves. Go, Lacey! I can't wait to see what beautiful children they will make!

With all that is going on I was thinking about Amy and her husband's dance studio .😳 With all the pro teams in Texas  ...... I am guess all the studios and instructors must have taken a hard hit.  Here in Tennessee some gyms (not the same as dance) opened with limits and others will not open till phase 2 and again no group exercise classes ... that will most likely be indefinite until we get to where larger groups can be together. ...just curious and thinking out loud .☺️

My guess is it would probably done with video conference. I know some dance studios here in UK and a lot of private school are doing the lessons for their students via video conference. Public schools on the other hand are some what totally finished for the year unless the government has everyone going back in next week as the rumours has it (stupid really I’d rather the kids and everyone stayed home actually and stayed safe. Better safe then sorry.

 

can someone do me the favour and go on Brittney Schram’s insta story and tell me what she said please. From her insta story she said “something something something, thought it was important enough to document” what did she say before “thought it was important enough to document” and what did she say after that please? Cos I did not understand one word she said.

It took a few times to get it but I believe she is talking about wearing jeans again for the first time in awhile and worth documenting that they still fit.  I know exactly how she feels, lol.

I agree, I never liked her look at all. She wasn’t as Kelli would say “HD friendly” and I after that podcast she did seem really entitled and spoiled . Good riddance poor little rich girl.

She's always been one of my faves too. Maybe not the very best at pom style but she has so many other styles done. She also can sell a dance as well as Holly P could. I was always so amazed by her technical ability.

Olivia can dance circles around Holly. 
I’d toe Olivia with Whitney Ott as prob the best technical dancers they’ve ever had. Holly top 10 maybe.

I can't get the first couple of seasons here in the UK so haven't really seen Whitney Ott. 

I guess it depends what you're into. Holly P is all about the sex appeal and tricks to shock the audience. Olivia is all about showing off the technique and years of ballet training. I love her IG videos of her doing Fosse-style jazz.

I'd say top is Jacie.

[Jess14]

Olivia was amazing, and I completely agree that she was one of the best technical dancers that they’ve had. What I love about her dance is that she’s not reliant on big tricks like Holly, Melissa, Erica, etc (who are all amazing technical dancers). She just dances and it’s every bit (more so, IMO) as impressive.

I have to agree with you...Jacie is a total package...there isn't anything I've seen that she didn't look amazing doing 🙂   but Olivia and Whitney are very close together in who I'd say was tops after Jacie.  I would definitely put Holly P in the top 10 🙂

Yeah, the fact that she was able to unlearn DCC style to make Rockettes tells me a lot about the talent she has.

[Jess14]

The talk about Jacie and Olivia makes me really miss that group of rookies. I don’t know why they’re the most memorable group  to me. Some of it is that a few of my favorite dancers (technical and DCC style) were in that group. Another reason for sure though is definitely diversity. They didn’t need to manufacture redheads for “diversity.“ From Kim to Jacie to Jessica to Jenna to Jasmine to Carissa to DCC traditional blondes, Kinzie, Alex, and Kali, to “pretty little Emily” to Ashley to Chelsea to short-haired Teri - that group of rookies really did naturally cover a wide spectrum of looks.

I’d put her easily in top 5. I think she isn’t as wow in your face as holly only bc she chooses not to be too sexy. But her technique is as good. Same with Gina.

YES! Erica, Holly, Melissa all relied on tricks for the wow factor despite being excellent technical dancers and performers. 

[M1977G]

Jacie, Emma, Olivia, Sam Clarke, Megan C, Erica, Melissa, and Holly P definitely would be in my top 10 technical dancers. I also missed the first two seasons (hence my tremendous excitement about Pluto, but I just have to catch those seasons and have, well, nothing to do for several hours when they happen to be on). That gives me someone else to look out for when I finally get to see those seasons! I'm really looking forward to seeing more of the storied Nicole Hamilton and Abbigail Klein's rookie year in those seasons, too.

[rl27rl]

I remember that one episode where K/J called Olivia over to speak with her and told her to follow her Group Leader which was Sydney.  Right there, that told me, what an amazing and gifted dancer she was because Sydney was off and it made her look bad as a veteran and Group Leader.  I always thought Sydney was a mediocre dancer at best. There's a YouTube somewhere that shows her at a hockey performance where she actually misses a kick in the kickline.

Nicole had almost no tech training but was BAM still amazing and perfect showmanship. Abigail made it on her looks bless her heart. I think she’s one who wouldn’t make it now and she was rookie show group. Always on WW and just Ok technIque but dang seems like a nice person and humble.

Sam Clarke? I’m drawing a blank. Is that referring to Season 8 Samantha or someone else?

I was never a Sydney fan.  She stayed about 5 years too long for me.  😛

I remember this show on VH-1. It features a former DCC named Cindi at 3:04-8:04. Kelli is even it it for a brief time.

I also thought the lollipop audition solo “natural blonde” Sydney had was childish, inappropriate for NFL pro dancer tryouts of any kind, and her sad fouettes took her from one end of the Floor to center stage and not intentionally. Holy lack of center, port de bras, core. Smh.
