Rachel proved yet again why she is the best technical dancer on the team right here. Jessica and Dani are very strong performers from a very impressive rookie class and both have great musicality. This wasn't Jalyn's best but I know she is a more than capable dancer. Kristin came back stronger than last year and her movements were very clean. To be honest, Taylor's performance was a real disappointment because she seemed sluggish and kept falling out of her pirouettes. I can definitely see a few rookies outperforming her and that is a dangerous place to be for a 4th year veteran.
She's definitely not the best technical dancer. Claire surpasses her as did Maddie. Ava surpasses them and I'm sure she'll make the team this year if she's auditioning.
@@nylotus I do agree that Claire is the most technically gifted and complete dancer DCC have had in years; she has blown me away since her rookie year audition submission video. I referred to Rachel as such because she has been the strongest technical dancer over the last few years, sort of as a reference to her longevity and consistency on the team. I have no doubt Claire will be a phenomenal senior veteran when the time comes, and fate allows, an awesome point of the triangle and group leader. Maddie has always been a great dancer and above all, a great performer. She was a good choice for point because she had good technique but also for her ability to engage an audience and sell the piece she was performing. As for Ava, I'd love to see her come back this season. I'd honestly need to see more of her before mentioning her in the same breath as Claire, Maddie and Rachel but she looks like she would be a good addition to the team.
@@jonathan6480 I'm so sorry to disappoint, but that's not happening in the near future either :( She is starting her masters in Rome in october. All this information is from her public instagram
Rachael danced so Beautifully & you can tell she has taken ballerina training. Kristen routine was hard to follow with a TV playing in the background. Eli’s rap crap routine looked like something a gangster on the street would do & it was Not enjoyable to watch at all. Kelcey had some good moves but her choice of music didn’t coordinate with her moves or vice versa
They are all truly amazing. Rachel W's routine was just sheer perfection. I also loved Dani's routine and her choose of music.
Rachel is always amazing 😻
Love her!
It's so great to hear the actual music they've chose!! Hearing The Struts was a surprise too 😮
Is it just me or did Taylor walk around more than she danced?
Dani’s solo was really good I just thought the choreo could match the song better but being a little more upbeat to match the beats of the song
💯❤️ Jessica's camerawoman showed her nothing but love. True friend 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
We all need a friend like Madeline M 😂
Her dance didn't watch the song... way too soft for the lyrics and beat.

I love Kelcey oh my goddd.
And to think Claire W choreographed this piece 😮
Kelsey is an incredible dancer
I always forget about Taylor
Elli was my fave!!! Much more power in her performance
All of these performers rate a "WOW"
I miss Daphne. :( I hope she is feeling better from her ACL tears.
She said on Instagram that she recovered fully and feels like her abilities are as good as before.
@@ellingtonfeint13 That's great! Did she say if she plans on coming back?
@@jonathan6480 I don't think so, she speaks of being a DCC as a past thing.
Ugh, she was my favorite. I hope she visits to train the rookies etc.

Does anybody know Rachel’s song?
"Who am I" by NEEDTOBREATHE
Huh
nice to see without all the editing !
Very good ladys but jalyn that wasn’t your best
I so agree. I think being cut from show group took a lot out of her.
ladies
Let’s see yours.
It looks like she was marking it for the video out of costume. So I’m sure it was better and had more energy for the actual performance

Elli did a hip hop routine, which in the dance world are very enjoyable and show stoppers. Not “gangster” crap
im so tired of people underestimating hip hop... theres a reason that more than half of the girls on the team cant do hiphop its DIFFICULT!
If only 'gangsters in the street' merely strutted around dancing, the world would be a happier place
Smh
@@thundercat602 I always wondered if the DCCs understanding of Hip Hop matches the rest of the industry.
