2019 DCC Audition Speculation

Oh a few show up out of the blue, like the one who did it just to support her friend (but the supporter was NOT serious about actually making the squad).  It just seems like there's a rare few who DO show up and make it all the way that I want to know about.

Like Megan B from a few seasons ago?

Christina is seemingly returning to reaudition! She just posted on her story about the Countdown to Calendar!

Choreo is fine, but I am really not impressed w/ her dancing at all.    Like how can people be so critical of some of the current girls’ dancing, when this is one of their former “stars”?

I just don’t think the “dance ability” bar is a high as many think when the girl has the right look and can remember the routines.

Victoria looks physically great in this video, hey technique is strong. Yup the looking and smiling at the camera ruins it some but she is not a hot mess here. 

Yeah.  Something about the person filming her is either making her laugh/lose focus for whatever reason (she’s posted many videos where she doesn’t look awkwardly at the camera like that so I think it’s a one off thing), but nothing wrong w/ her dancing.  

And she does look thinner.

I hope he is acknowledged this year!!!

Probably.  I'd have to go back and watch the season to be sure.  My mind hasn't been the same lately, I've been that focused on making numbers work and figuring out why things are so screwed up.  No, I'm not an accountant or a financial adviser, I just stare at bills that aren't mine and attempt to figure out what's going on.

Oh lawd!  If so, I am SO hoping that she gets cut this year at Finals, especially if her solo is as bad (or worse) as previous solos AND if the girls are as amazing as last year.  I can't believe she actually made it back last year, between the quality of girls (Victoria excluded since general consensus is that she wouldn't have made it without Kelli and Charlotte) and poor solo.

This is probably an unpopular opinion but I think the idea of a man being a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader is silly. There are so many factors that would make this situation uncomfortable. Uniforms, calendar shoot, etc. Let's be honest, one of the major purposes of the DCC is to be eye candy for the male Cowboys fans. Obviously, the people on this board are interested in their talent. But before this TV show existed, people weren't as interested in their dancing ability as they are now. I think we all know Charlotte would never let a man make the team anyway, so there's probably no point in even discussing this. But if this guy is just trying to prove a point that a man should be able to be a DCC, I find that a little silly. He has to know it's never going to happen. He's clearly a great entertainer. Why not try out for DCRB?

[PhoebeKelly1992]

So Maddie said on last week's podcast that 29 or so are going on Calendar Shoot, I wonder if that includes Lauren? 🤔 As if she is reauditioning too then she likely won't participate in the shoots, as she didn't last year.

So there are about 5 more to announce retirements, with swimsuit fittings around the corner I hope we will find out by then who those are! Robin had announced by this time last year her decision to retire, they seem to be keeping quiet this year but I'm curious to see if there will be any surprise, unanticipated retirements we did not forsee (Though the other 5 DCC retiring will most likely have been anticipated). I'm also curious to see if there will be any shocking cuts at finals (Or SEVERAL returning vets cut) as everyone seems to have had a good year and it has been relatively drama free compared to last year! Despite this right now there are seemingly only 7 spots open for rookies, unless they take more than 36 or a vet gets cut. I don't think they have had a rookie class that small since the show started. The smallest they took was 8 in season 5 so they haven't had that small a rookie class in a while. All the vets made it back to TC that year so it could happen again. I can't wait to see it all play out, as it will be a bloodbath at finals YET again this year!! Just hope they don't cut half the vets Lol Jk I can't begin to imagine the hysteria and outrage in the DCC world if that happened! No doubt everyone will bring it and will be showcasing their unique talent and the competition will be fierce I'm sure! 

I'm excited to see which familiar faces turn up to auditions, there are loads I would love to see make triumphant returns. I hope it is the year of the Comeback Girl again!

All the vets trying out again in Season 5 made it back, but Amy Reese was cut, and four vets were called into the office for weight.

I think at least one vet will be cut at finals. The rookie classes seem to get weaker and weaker with each season. I miss the Season One to Season Five squads because, in my opinion, they were the strongest squads since the show started.

I do too.  I know they won't bring him into TC.  But after watching how he supported all the girls auditioning last year (whether they made it or not), it would be cool to at least acknowledge him.  Plus he's good.  I'd rather see him than the lost girls who can't dance or the fact someone peed on the floor.

No kidding!!!  I feel there was an attempt to "ignore" the fact he tried out.  I've mentioned before that no matter how many podcasts, shows, etc that Melissa R did, she never said anything about it.  Even when the hosts brought up the LA Rams.  K&J are so eager to bring up there are girls from every other country trying out and they can't even acknowledge they are making history - emphasis on HIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG I think the rookies get stronger and stronger every year. Maybe blend together more personality and looks wise but these girls now are so techical, they blow the first few seasons girls out of the water with skill and fitness. 

Mia - she is a doll but I literally cannot with her choreo. It's always just all over the place and too flowy. I can't even tell what they're supposed to be doing. Ever. Been his way for YEARS.

Co-sign on all the above.  Especially regarding the caliber of rookies.  They are far stronger in recent years than they ever have been.  If we see as strong of rookies this year as last, it's going to be a battle for the few available spots.  The veterans better be bringing their best figures and "A" games.

bolding a point

[bigskygirl]

In my opinion, the girls who have been making the team the last two or three years have not come close to Nicole Hamilton, Megan Fox, Whitney, Mia, or Jackie Bob. I think the squads have been taken a nose drive since the mass exit after Season 5 ended.

I totally agree!!  Hopefully, TPTB will have gotten a taste of what it's like to have a talented rookie CLASS and will get rid of the blender vets and have another rock-star rookie class!

Mia looks like a baby deer learning how to walk....  Tasha looks so much better! (along with several others in the class...)

I honestly think that the girls now are better dancers (technically speaking) that past squads as they have to bring more to the table than the old squads. But in the past we had more standouts and I think that’s why it looks like they were better altogether.

As for VK in Mia’s choreo, she’s improved for sure-she is less out of control mostly. But she still dances heavy, not sexy at all and I still have issues with her arm movements. They always look awkward and I don’t understand why.

Maybe unpopular opinion but it might be the first year I don’t want any vets cut. Even christina for me dances far better than vk, no weight struggle and she is good at appearances (while vk is a risk). Savanah has improved as well so again, I don’t think she should be cut to make room for VK. I’m sure she is guaranteed a spot this year, so i hope Kelli picks 6 amazing dancers plus her and keep all the vets.

I don’t think her leggings help. With the white at the bottom, it makes her legs look too skinny and wobbly:)

I miss the stand out stars of seasons past too, but I still love the rookie classes from season 6 onward. This past rookie class from season 13 is impeccable! I recall the finalists at solo round in the earlier seasons relying heavily on props and can't get some of the costumes and gimmicks out of my memory lol 😂 (Who remembers 'Cat Woman' and 'Police Woman' 😅) Having said that there were so many exemplary, legendary DCC from that period. The talent is still strong and the ladies hold their own and at least the props and Halloween costumes seem to be for the most part a thing of the past although when I watch the older seasons it does make me lol 😁

Totally agree in that I don't want any of the vets to get cut. I love rooting for an underdog as well so even the perceived 'Weaker' veteran candidates would get through this year if it were up to me lol. Everyone seems to have had a good year and all of the current DCC have their own strengths so there are no obvious foreseeable casualties to me but that's just my opinion! 

[bigskygirl]

If I remember correctly, I think Kelli and Charlotte thought the girl who was the naughty police woman from Season One? had a good solo. Of course, they thought Victoria had a good solo also. Hmmm...

I want to see the hair guy make his funny facial expressions when it comes to the other judges' reactions.

I also do not think there have been that many good solos from last year. The only one who stood out to me last year was Maddie. The rest were blah to me.

It is just my opinion that Season 13's rookie class were a talented bunch. Can we not agree to disagree? Anyhow, I can see that I'm not too popular here so I'll see myself out....

They were and most of us with years of dance training agree. 

I also hate the solos of earlier years that relied on gimmicks and props.  I want to see dancing that shows off the girl's technique and showmanship.  I don't need to see the overused tilt crotch shot or the split on the floor crawling like a porno ad towards the judges while wielding a police bully club prop or somesuch.

@PhoebeKelly1992 sometimes you have to consider the source and let it go.  No need to see yourself out.  There are lots of varying points of view here.  We can be quite an opinionated bunch at times. 😉

You’re not alone! We may not have that many standouts but for me it was the first rookie class in years that i liked every single one of the rookies.

And we all agree on Bridget being amazing so it looks like we’re getting our rockstars too 🙂

[bigskygirl]

I think Seasons 2, 3 (even with Cassie in the rookie group,) and 4 had the most talented group of rookies.

For me, Judy and especially Kelli and Charlotte cutting the five one year vets in Season 7 to bring in Carla Ann instead of TC makes me think there is something wrong. I cannot believe they actually thought Carla Ann had the potential to a better DCC over someone like Alyssa Torres. Then of course is Season 3 where five vets were cut at finals, and they actually thought Kathryn Dunn could make a better DCC over the five cut vets. And lets not forget Season 8 where three one year vets were cut, and they put Morgan and Kaitlyn L. on to the team. What were they thinking. It blows my mind when they seem to think male appeal, a girl has a different look, or I like her more than I like the other girls as a reason to bring a girl into TC or put her on the squad.

There are some of us with zero dance training who agree 🙂 . This year's rookie class is the 1st one I've overall liked in years...maybe ever.  Yes, obviously, it thrills me to no end that my girl Brennan made it, but every single one of these women seem to really like each other, and to me anyway it does not seem fake.  The only one I was so-so on was Erin, but now I love her!

I don't think she ever auditioned. She even posted here and said she only takes prep classes for fun.

Macy auditioned for the Bucs Cheerleaders (see below). I guess the Dolphins are the only Florida team snatching up the Dallas girls.

I don't think the DCC are *everything*. Just because you're not right for them, doesn't mean you don't have something to bring to the table, and I enjoy seeing girls who didn't make the team thrive on other squads, like Whitney Robertson and Jenny Smith. I wonder if this will be a trend, with more and more women like them (and like Macy) pursuing their goals outside of the DFW sports dance bubble.

Anyway, I'm getting off topic. I don't guess we'll be seeing Macy at DCC auditions, but she's clearly still invested enough to go to the time and expense of auditioning in Tampa, so maybe she will give DCC another go, after all.

The numbers have really diminished at DCC auditions these last couple of years. That makes things easier for us, because if Pro Dance Cheer is shooting the auditions, they'll be able to capture pretty much everyone who was there, and they always make sure to get pics of the girls from other DFW teams.

Much less than that! I'd be surprised if it was even half that. These are photos of everyone before the open call last year. They've had to get creative about where they shoot Kelli's welcome speech each year. Last year they tucked them into one of the corner sections to make the group look bigger. It's difficult to count - I tried a few times. 15 women per row, and maybe 10-12 rows total. Definitely under 200.

There were less than 400 last year. It look more like 120. Maybe there were close to 400 sending in applications and pictures and decided not to show up. The number of girls trying out every year seems to be less and less with every season.

That's pretty much what I thought but was being overly generous, lol.  I am curious how many will show up this year.  Especially of they are aware of how few # of slots are available.

But we know the show will make it out to be hundreds more are auditioning.  🙄

I agree that the total # of girls auditioning for DCC is getting less each year, with this last season being much smaller (less than 200). Of course, how could we possibly know for sure when the entire MTT season only showed one girl dominating every episode?

They cannot say world class entertainers and say we only take the best girls who have the best over all package into TC and on the squad and then take a girl like Morgan. I also do not think Judy cared for her all. I think it had Kelli, Charlotte, Miss Kitty, and CMT written all over it especially since CMT focused on her so much.

Well, I started last year's thread almost exactly one year ago, so I guess it's time to start the 2019 thread. (For reference, here are the complete lists of last year's finalists and TCCs).

I will be very interested to see what becomes of last year's eliminated TCCs. I believe this was the order of their elimination:

• Jasmin Ammons
• Lindsay Brady
• Dayton Bramhall - definitely will not audition
• Taylor Tauss
• Kristin Dodd
• Victoria Kalina - definitely will audition
• Malena Brown
• Lily Johnson

Prep classes are underway!  With Michelle Keys out of the picture, I wonder who most of of the women will flock to for class. Sarah Idziak and Jenn Amburn? Jasmin Ammons and Taylor Tauss attended Jenn Amburn's first 2019 prep class. Also in attendance were Kali Mikelson (2017 finalist, 2018 semifinalist) and Kylee Wideman (2016 finalist). I will be interested to see if they audition this year. A few other women commented on the post below that they were also there for the class, but it's hard to tell who is prepping for tryouts and who is just taking class for fun.

Someone else I have an eye on is Kelly Porazzo, who has been auditioning for a few years. She's made it to semis a couple times but never as far as finals. She's always been a blonde for auditions, but she just went brunette and moved to NYC to spend the next several months preparing for auditions (DCC auditions, I assume, although all she said was "NFL auditions.") Moving to NYC is an interesting strategy.  While I'm sure there is a wide variety of classes and coaches available, I hadn't heard that NYC is a mecca for power pom, high kick, and competition-style hip-hop dance styles needed for DCC.

And finally, I just have to say a little "woohoo" for Hannah Prosser, aka "Road to DCC girl" who I've been keeping an eye out for since discovering her. Hannah is the girl who as on her college dance team in Wisconsin and dreaming of (and working toward) auditioning for DCC for years. She missed last year's audition but now she's finally in the right place at the right time. She's moved to Dallas, is enrolled in graduate school and is teaching dance on the side. She's all signed up for prep classes and I am excited to see how she does. Just getting to audition is a huge deal for her.

Well Hannah P. has definitely made a transformation...I'm really going to pull for her :)   Kelly P...I just don't see it happening...regardless of her hair color.  I'm really going to pull for Jasmin again...she seems like such a genuine and sweet girl!

I wonder if this will be a trend, with more and more women like them (and like Macy) pursuing their goals outside of the DFW sports dance bubble.

Anyway, I'm getting off topic. I don't guess we'll be seeing Macy at DCC auditions, but she's clearly still invested enough to go to the time and expense of auditioning in Tampa, so maybe she will give DCC another go, after all.

The numbers have really diminished at DCC auditions these last couple of years. That makes things easier for us, because if Pro Dance Cheer is shooting the auditions, they'll be able to capture pretty much everyone who was there, and they always make sure to get pics of the girls from other DFW teams.

Awww....I hate to see that...she is cute and I like her! 🙂

After not being chosen for group leader last year, and Heather stating how hard it was watching her best friend get cut (little Heather) I would almost put her retiring before Yuko or Lauren.  But that's just my opinion 😉 I hope all three of these are back though...because I enjoy all three of them!!

Heather has been talking about calendar so I would assume she's coming back

Don't get me wrong, I love Miranda, but was there a reason they brought her back again?  I mean, if they are out of DCC to interview, perhaps they should bring in other guests - ie Sarah, Jenn K, Mia to give out info on prep classes or talk about their years on the squad.  Or use this time of year to bring in DCC alumni, Shelly, Marshall, and don't hurt me, even Melissa R.  Or let's bring K&J on to talk about past seasons of the show and get them to spill tea:)

I thought they had done second rounds with more than just Miranda?

Which girls do you think fall into the 3rd category 

Even though I like her....Christina.  Her story of auditioning 5 times and blowing her ACL is beaten by Brennan's cut from TCC twice and back for a third TC back story.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE  Brennan....and Christina, I like her but she's a blender.  Jessika...BORING has always been in this category for me.  Taylor J is a blender....Alanna as well...both lovely girls but if they have rockstar rookie potentials show up...they had better step up their game.   If Gabby is still on WW she has the potential of being in this category.

 There were some pictures of Heather working out with two other girls getting ready for swimsuit calendar shoot, so my guess is she is trying out again.

Didn't Heather confirm she was auditioning during her podcast with KaShara and Christina (co-host sub for Shannon)?
