So only in TC they're considered alternates?  For some reason I thought Kelli meant that rookies who make SG are alternates for the whole year they're rookies.

There are no alternates for the 36. There aren’t really alternates per se for SG. There are 18 this year, most show stages can handle 12 performers, occasionally 16. Having 18 allows for flexibility/availability for all shows.

Nothing against Queen and nothing against what the DCC calls hip-hop, but the two do NOT go together. I needed Tylenol after hearing that.

Amen sister.  You are today's Forum Day Girl.

[dbell1]

Hip hop and Queen. No. Never. Of course, consider what K&J think of as hip hop, I’m surprised it wasn’t a waltz to We Will Rock You.

VK looked good in that abomination. 

Amy is a fridge break, just boring. 

When does next season start?

Jenna was a rock star.  I know she's teaching dance classes in Mississippi now, but I saw a video where she choreographed a Raiderettes routine.  It definitely had a DCC flare to it.  Does anyone know if she has choreographed any other squads?

[Dal8las]

The Pro Bowl Choice, Vet Choice, and Rookie Choice is def going to get this group fired up af...we havent even started season and we are already pissed hahaha.

What they will choose

Pro Bowl: Amy 

Vet: Tess

Fan performance vid so not that clear. 

This formation doesn't get better with viewing.  I know where my eye is drawn and it definitely isn't Amy or Maddie.

Not amused by creeper suit wearer holding up his phone to record the girls...

Looks at Maddie's stomach and looks at Gabby's stomach...neither are fat btw...just the unbalance of it all. Im going to lunch 

You ain't lying. 

But, can we take a second to wonder where Amber's belly button is in that picture? I can't find it...I'm assuming she has one though.

This isn't the formation for Thunderstruck. It's just for this one routine. There will be different formations and different girls at point for different dances, especially with regard to SG performances.

Yes it is. Amy, Maddie and Lexie are the triangle for Thunderstruck and it's the most basic boring triangle we have seen...maybe ever. 

6 hours ago, Dal8las said:

I mean the fact that they didnt give it to Gina, Lexie, Bridget, Daph, Hannah, Ashlee, Caroline etc. Just goes to show K&J need to be replaced they don't have it anymore. New vision, no more teacher's pets at point/triangle. This squad is probably the worst squad they have had in years...all of the GLs are boring af and the 3/4 of the 2 GL are boring. 

Khalyn/Yuko/Tasha why did yall have to leave  

Fixed that for you 😜

Who would have thought.....we are all pissed off because Amy and Maddie are such sucky points and are completely forgetting that Victoria is dancing in the show group performance AND Jalyn has been demoted out of it! Wow. That’s how terrible and boring they are!

At least she's basically being hidden in the back for most of the routines and honestly, even when I tried to find her, I struggled to do so, so the girl just doesn't stand out to me.

I had a hard time finding her and I actually kind of wanted to see how she was doing. It was hard to tell the blondes apart in all the clips. My first thought was who would have thought VK would be a blender? 🤣

No way K&J can watch this video and then the one from today and think that it compares. No way! The girls in the back of this video are showing more pop than Amy, Maddie, and Lexie, and comparing the 2 triangles is like pitting the varsity against the JV team. K&J must just be being stubborn. It’s nothing against any of those 3. I’m ok with Maddie retaining her spot in the triangle from last year, and Amy is rightfully the Group 1 leader, but point and triangle needs some sass, some sex appeal, some swag. What i saw today isn’t it....at all!

I always used to feel like SG was 'who do we leave out?' because they had so many strong dancers. Now it's 'who do we add in to make up the numbers?' because they want all the 'senior' vets to be in there.

[hathorlive]

I think the DCC are one year away from running off all the best dancers and being stuck with nothing but blenders and VK, the whirling dervish.  If Gina and Jaylen leave after this year, that will decimate or at least severely cut the number of stand out dancers.   They really need to address why many girls are leaving earlier rather than after 3 or 4 years.   Is this a trend or just something we THINK is happening because the good dancers are so few and far between?

What’s that hand signal thing the girls are doing in the hip hop picture 🤔🤔

🤨🤨

Me no like.  

I know what it looks like, but it can't be that.😒

[cherryblossom]

Ok I imagine this will not be popular but one thing struck me as watching the earlier teams with powerhouse of dancers starting with the initial 2 hour movie where they made a hard cut of a veteran, I just wonder of this time of sexual harassment, enlightenment etc. has the DCC gotten to where they are no longer relevant?  Look at Lauren who chose not to do swimsuit photos.   How much is this contributing to fewer girls trying out with the ones who do have less of the characteristics we are looking for?  Have been a long time supporter but now I perhaps have “clarity “!

I think that yes, generationally you get women today with that higher level talent are looking for other more fulfilling, better compensated, and more professional opportunities.

I agree from a compensation standpoint more talented girls are looking to make a living at some point, but DCC can still be a stepping stone for some.  Look at Jacie, Olivia, Nicole H, Melissa R, etc.  They all went on to the Rockettes, Vegas showgirl and  DWTS respectively.  I understand Mandy is now the director of the Raiders squad and I believe Houston and Miami also have former DCCs at the helm.  So it's still prestigious to have the DCC on your resume.

Prestigious in an ever shrinking circle.

also, we all have to stop believing that Melissa R got DWTS because of DCC. She got it because she got dumped on live TV after being engaged on The Bachelor.  DCC isn’t why she is famous.

Perhaps DCC got her a look-see on The Batchelor or maybe you're right and it had nothing to do with it.😂

She was never a DCC that got my attention or was that memorable.  Today, all I see is Botox, Fillers, and Collagen.  I am still not a fan and will never understand why they have her as a "Mentor" to TCCs.

When did that go from being the sign for “ok” to white power? I must have been in a coma

that being said, i don’t know why you would throw up the “ok” sign in a dance either.

The notion the a-ok hand gesture as a symbol of white power is not a real thing. It was made up two years ago to stir controversy.

They have her as a mentor bc she won the bachelor and dancing with the stars. She’s a known face for those who aren’t familiar with DCC. And also... yeah. This is why it’s important to not go to a cheap doctor or medspa who’s just going to inject you to make some cash. Go to a plastic surgeon or dermatologist who’s known for creating aesthetic excellence. In this day and age, there is absolutely no reason that anyone should be able to tell you’ve had work done if you go to the right people.

She also hosted Redneck Island and had a reality show with her husband called “Melissa & Tye” on CMT. I always figured it was more network-driven to shoehorn her into DCC:MTT for hopeful crossover appeal to boost ratings rather than Charlotte/Kelli/Judy deciding that the TCCs needing a mentor and selecting her for the job over any of the countless other former DCC who were likely available and more qualified for that specific task.

I could be overthinking this, but I was reminded of an episode of SYTYCD with a Bollywood number.  There are quite a few hand gestures used in Bollywood style dancing and I remember the choreography working with the dancers to get it just right.  So possibly could be a nod to Freddie Mercury's heritage (parents are originally from India, later moved to Zanzibar.)  Or it could just be an okay symbol and is awkward AF.  Who knows?

Either way, here's a link:  https://dance.lovetoknow.com/Dance_Bollywood:_Hand_Gestures

NO. The issue is not about how women dress or act — it’s about sexual assault. The perpetrator. Not the victim. This is not about women going back to the stone ages and wearing chastity belts. It’s about freedom & consent.

If anything this is the best time to tryout in that regard bc people are finally discussing the issue and making changes. Other professional teams are responding by getting rid of their dancers which is a WEAK cop-out. They don’t want the heat. They don’t want to admit fault and enact change. I’m proud of the DCC for embracing their cheerleaders. What Charlotte said about having the DCC bc of how they make the fans feel nearly brought me to tears. Thank God someone still values cheer and dance girls. They matter to the team and they matter to the fans. 

Now the real reason less girls are trying out for DCC — they don’t want to be made fun of on national television. That’s it.

Some other teams are making changes, like the NY Jets changing to that cringe-worthy vomit-inducing mop of a uniform. Ugly uniforms also deter dancers... no one wants to be seen looking like a grandma in front of thousands of people. 

And yet other teams are cutting the girls altogether not only bc they don’t want to take the heat for sexual assault in the workplace but also bc they don’t want to pay them more. If they make the teams co-Ed then no one can say they’re not paying them bc they don’t value women... now all we can say is that they don’t value dancers / entertainers.

Yes, but regardless of its origin, that hand gesture has taken on a connotation synonymous with white power, so at best it’s still remarkably tone deaf of the DCC to include it in their choreography.

[RedDelicious]

I think it's absurd that anyone would make something out of it. Maybe it has something to do with the song lyrics. Ask Shelly, she's the assistant choreographer. We use hand gestures in my line of work and in front of our customers all the time and we're not going to stop using a-ok to say 'all clear' or simply 'we're good, proceed' just because somebody cooked up some nonsense in 2017. Come ON. How precious can a cheerleading routine be?

Random question. Does anyone have access to Madeline Molloy’s audition solo video? I can’t track it down. She won a Barbie (I think?) and she hashtagged #amilliondreams back in July on Instagram after announcing she’d been invited back to TC. 

I really only care because, based on the #, I’m hoping the song she used was A Million Dreams from The Greatest Showman and I’m kind of dying to see it if she did because that song = 😍 and that song + an audition solo could = 😍😍😍.

On a related note, I’ll only be mildly disappointed if she didn’t use that song, even though I just dramatically said I was dying to see it just because of that. Either way, girlfriend looked so pretty in her pics!
