I’m on their radar in a good way and they’d hope to see me back. I do feel like I belong on that field.They’re making decisions and we know that and they know that. I want to walk in there right now and tell them, “I never have memory mistakes when I perform.” This is a new thing for me. I’d like to just tell Kelli and Judy that I know that I can do it. It’s like the “Hunger Games” of DCC, a little bit. I’ve been thinking all night every time that I get up there that I’m dancing for my life.Yes, I got a compliment! I was thinking, “Okay, let’s go, let’s put me on the team then.I was dancing and I thought I was going to fall over and kind of just feel a little disoriented.Having this rehearsal with Melissa is going to help us a ton because tonight is really important, and how I perform is make or break it.I really want to wear those boots on that field really bad. It’s hard to say that, “Oh well, I’ll be cut, but I’ll be fine.” That’s definitely not the case. If tonight was my last night, I would feel sad.It’s coming down to these last few moments. There’s so many of us left, and they have to make decisions. We all know that going into tonight, it’s going to be a cut night.It’s just walking, right? Shouldn’t that be easier than dancing. So, I still wish I could have had a few more hours to feel totally confident. I didn’t get enough time to practice because I was at work. Coming into this rehearsal, I’m a little bit nervous.I always dance in jazz shoes or barefoot, and this is my first day in tennis shoes, so I really have to work on pointing my toes.If one of them gets left behind, the other one is probably, too. Kyndall says the hardest part of TC is getting the large amount of dances down in a short period of time and not having the amount of time you’d like to practice.
Last year got cut, and Jessika hugged me, and she realized it was because they were supposed to make it together, so she's hoping for this year. Both moved to Dallas for dream of becoming DCC’s. They met in college and were on Texas State Strutters together. She’s just going to find how to balance it. If she starts falling behind, she’ll have to sneak away for more “bathroom breaks.” She wouldn’t quit training camp, but she also wouldn’t quit her career.
She’ll sneaks away during her lunch break to practice the routine and also practices in the bathroom. Working full-time and trying the memorize the dances is her biggest challenge. She does marketing for a commercial real estate company. Even in just one year, these women have become my best friends and have shaped me into a stronger and more compassionate person. WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT BEING A PART OF DCC? The people! The women that surround me on this team are unlike any other I have ever experienced. DCC’s influence in the community and volunteer work really stood out for me and made this dream something that I couldn’t pass up! I knew that I would do anything to be one of those girls and be able to experience the environment that has built so many great women before me. The thing that makes this organization special to me is how much it challenges you and allows you to grow as a woman. WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO AUDITION FOR DCC? DCC was always my dream dance team!
