bjo1969 May 11, 2014 Share May 11, 2014 I usually just lurk, but I just want to say that I am very curious as to who has moved on to the next round! Link to comment
MrsEVH May 11, 2014 Share May 11, 2014 Vivian posted on her Instagram she made to semi finals. She also said there will be a fan vote that starts tomorrow. http://instagram.com/p/n1giurrGmw/# 1 Link to comment
Jennifer J May 11, 2014 Share May 11, 2014 I noticed the last number is 341. A lot less must have tried out than previous years. Link to comment
MrsEVH May 11, 2014 Share May 11, 2014 I know finals are when they do a solo and compete against the vets. Are semi finals when they just do a free style dance and get selected? Or is it when do they learn a combination and kickline and then have to perform it in front the judges? Link to comment
Jennifer J May 11, 2014 Share May 11, 2014 (edited) Courtney Johnson made it. https://twitter.com/JohnsonCourt Today was the free style. Tomorrow is semi-finals, they have to learn a combination and do the kick line. Edited May 11, 2014 by Jennifer J 1 Link to comment

Italian Ice May 11, 2014 Share May 11, 2014 For whatever reason, the Texans Cheerleaders have been getting way, way more girls auditioning in recent years than DCC. I believe this year they had about 1,200 girls audition for Texans Cheerleaders, whereas you only get “600 girls" auditioning for DCC if you skip bib numbers to make it seem like more. They for sure do that, as it was mentioned in a behind the Scenes report. Link to comment

sleepyjean May 12, 2014 Share May 12, 2014 (edited) Kathryn Dunn did not audition. She will be re-auditioning for another year with the mavs Vivian made it to finals. Courtney Corbeille auditioned again. If I recally correctly, she was the one who was on bring it on the musical. She made it to semis. I don't know if she made it to finals.

ThreaLevelMidnight May 12, 2014 Share May 12, 2014 (edited) Only three AAIA dancers made it to finals: Vivian, Yijiao and Alexandra. Amy did not make it. Besides Courtney Johnson, here are others I know of that made it to finals (I'm not sure if I'm allowed to put last names so I'll leave that part out for now... if one of y'all tells me otherwise then I can add them): Caila Michelle, Taylor Nicole, Teresa A, Carolyn A, Jamie V, Breelan S, Jenny D and Allyson H (might be known as Allyson Shea on the show, or Ally).

Italian Ice May 12, 2014 Share May 12, 2014 (edited) Of the Texas Star Dancers, I think the only one I know for sure that made it to Finals was Caila Michelle. I don't know about Mallory or Emily. Shelbi didn't either. Baylor Ashley auditioned, but I can't find anything about whether she made it or or not. Bring it On Courtney made it again to Finals as well.

sleepyjean May 12, 2014 Share May 12, 2014 (edited) For whatever reason, the Texans Cheerleaders have been getting way, way more girls auditioning in recent years than DCC. The DCC would have as many as the Texans if they took out the kickline, jump splits, and three month training camp.

I would love to go to Dallas just to meet him. Looks like the twins from last year made it to finals. I guess Charlotte and a few other judges like the thought of possibly having twins on the team.

Italian Ice May 12, 2014 Share May 12, 2014 Oh yay! I see Baylor Ashley! Love that girl. I was sad when she was cut. I don't see crazy eyes Emily though. Damn that's harsh if they didn't even bring her to Finals. Link to comment
iloveit May 12, 2014 Share May 12, 2014 Did Tessa make finals? Its hard to see everyone in that photo. Link to comment
bigskygirl May 12, 2014 Author Share May 12, 2014 When will the fan vote happen? I want to see the finalists. I have nothing against Vivian, but I hope another girl gets voted into TC and hopefully will make the team. Jamie V? Is she the one who tried out a few times but did not make TC (red head-the one with the apple and the tree Miss Kitty went after.) Link to comment
Italian Ice May 12, 2014 Share May 12, 2014 (edited) Yeah that's Jamie, and yes, she's still trying. It looks like Mallory from Texas Star Dancers made Finals as well. It's almost a prereq nowadays to have been on another team first to even make it to Finals. ETA-Through a little bit of fancy finangling, I was able to get the HQ version of the Finalists pic posted above. Can anyone tell some more faces better now? https://scontent-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/t1.0-9/p/10342819_438634772947712_4567730504300218003_n.jpg Is that Buffalo Wild Wings girl in the top row, third from the left? I also don't see Tessa, unfortch :( Edited May 12, 2014 by Italian Ice Link to comment
SHF May 12, 2014 Share May 12, 2014 Different Jamie. Redhead Jamie is a Legends dancer, Jamie V is from Iowa. Link to comment
Italian Ice May 12, 2014 Share May 12, 2014 I think that *might* be Emily with only half her face sticking out from behind one of the twins' heads in the back. MAYBE. I can't really tell. Link to comment
bigskygirl May 12, 2014 Author Share May 12, 2014 I think I see her. I hope Tessa made it to finals since she had the nasty knee injury/surgery last year. They took Rachel, and in my opinion, Rachel seems suck up and not that great of a dancer. Link to comment
MrsEVH May 12, 2014 Share May 12, 2014 (edited) According to twitter Legends dancers Courtney (bring it on), Kelli and Shelby made to finals. All 3 were finalists (fan vote) last year. Ice Angels Brittany, Brieana, and Amy didn't make it. Where is that picture of the finalists from? I couldn't find it on the DCC Twitter or Facebook pages. When are they going to post the fan vote page? I'm dying to see who made it because it's hard to see whose who in that posted picture. It's interesting when a couple of girls from the same squad (ex: Ice Angels, Texas Star dancers) all audition together but only some make it. I wonder if there's any jealousy, hard feelings, or are they happy for each other? Do the ones they didn't make it go down the same audition route ( Mavs, Ice girls, Ice angels, TS Dancers, Legends dancers, etc.) until they finally make a squad?

Melissa had a baby boy on April 22, I doubt she would be out of town for work. Natalie Woods was a guest judge also. Link to comment
bigskygirl May 13, 2014 Author Share May 13, 2014 Wonder why Melissa and Natalie were ask to be guest judges. Too bad they did not get Brooke, Ashton, or Sasha. Thank God Cassie or Ally was not one of the guest judges. Link to comment
sleepyjean May 13, 2014 Share May 13, 2014 (edited) Wonder why Melissa and Natalie were ask to be guest judges. Probably because they are celebrities. Melissa is well-known, and I think Natalie is a local celeb. I'm really surprised the fan vote videos aren't online yet. Aren't finals on Saturday? It seemed like there was more time to vote last year, but I may be remembering wrongly. I hope the choreography is better this year. All I remember from last year was that awkward hoe-down move that looked so silly. ETA: Here's a link to last year's videos. Hoe-down 12 seconds in. Very interesting to watch a year later, knowing which ones made the team. Emily and Tessa's kicks were crazy low. I hope they've worked on that. I forgot how much I liked Breelan and Whitney. I hope both are back this year. Emily has changed her look and is so much prettier with darker hair. I forgot how orange and blonde she was last year. Where are all the photos from auditions? Isn't there a local station in dallas that usually has tons of photos? And there's nothing on the DCC site or facebook. They really should hire someone to keep them up to date. I don't really care about swimsuit fittings. Edited May 13, 2014 by sleepyjean 1 Link to comment
Elizabeth9 May 13, 2014 Share May 13, 2014 I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but Sasha Agent has a new blog all about auditioning for cheer teams, and she also coaches girls for their auditions. So it would be a conflict of interest to have her judge. I love her and I'm so excited she is back on the Internet! http://www.cheertime101.com/ Her twitter handle is Snafierce Link to comment

iloveit May 13, 2014 Share May 13, 2014 I'm bummed Tessa didn't make it! I wonder if her knee didn't heal all the way and her dance wasn't as good as last year? My only other guess would be weight gain, but I'd be surprised if that was the case, given that she looked great last year and when she was with the Colts. Link to comment
Italian Ice May 13, 2014 Share May 13, 2014 (edited) Was that a heavily pregnant girl auditioning in the pic bigskygirl posted? Edited May 13, 2014 by Italian Ice Link to comment
sleepyjean May 13, 2014 Share May 13, 2014 It doesn't surprise me that Tessa got cut. I was actually surprised last year when she was chosen for training camp. Her kicks are a real problem. At their highest, her toes were barely making it as high as her head. Meanwhile, girls to the right and left of her were kicking their ankles right up next to their ears. There's really no point taking her into finals when they already know that even when she works on her ass off on her kicks, they are still far below the standard. Kelli has let low kickers on in the past (Loni, Kali) but those two were both stunningly beautiful, and I think that's why an exception was made for them. I don't think that girl is pregnant, just thick. Link to comment
