ari resigning
i know this dcc but this just popped up on my feed and ari is not returning to mdc🥲. i loved watching her on the field.
Is there any DCCs that you guys think/know actually really disliked each other during their tenure?
Obviously I'm not meaning the classic answer of ''they're co-workers at the end of the day and not all co-workers are close or friends'' but actually meaning cheerleaders who have been known to really dislike each other behind the scenes but put up a front during their time as a DCC.
(Other than the obvious with Cassie Trammell who got Olivia kicked off the team because she didn't like her btw)
KaShara
I know that she unfollowed Kash on IG when she announced her retirement, and people in the comments of her TikTok said
"so it's because of Kash?" and she liked those comments. But nobody, Ari included, seems to be willing to say what exactly Kash did. Based on inside sources (apparently, cause people love to create facts) there was an HR investigation, but Kash is still the director of MDC. Which is why I'm skeptic. And if Ari thought Kash was rough... well, it's probably best she never made DCC, because K&J, as much as I love them, can be beyond bullies and downright cruel
Aside from "isn't she a racist", does anybody know what Kash ACTUALLY did? Or did she just hold MDC to a DCC-esque standard? Because in my honest humble opinion, Ari's social media has been borderline trashy for months now and maybe, it was a poor representation of the brand
kylie solo prep? 👀
kylie posted on her story doing a few tricks. could be just teasing us or potentially getting back in dancing shape for a finals solo! hard to say whether or not she’s retiring
The girls being sexualised
I’m originally from england but i recently visited bangkok thailand for some travelling and on a night out i found myself (accidentally) in a street of strip clubs. On the side of one of these strip clubs was a repeating gif of Kylie from one of her tik toks. It was playing repeatedly over and over again as a way to entice people in. It made me think that as much as Kelly and Judy pride themselves on being “world class” and “elegant ladies” they are very sexualised and Kylie would never ever be aware of this situation but it probably happens all over the world, and it’s something that SHE posted. It’s the only real time i’ve seen something DCC in real life, like merch or representation, and it didn’t scream ‘elegance’ at all.
VK judging for miss nebraska
Good for her even though I am questioning why it says she’s a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader vet rather than alumni. If this was VK’s choice is this just another case of her unable to let go of the organisation?

VK's live tonight
was anyone one VK's live tonight?? kind of odd...someone asked her ethnicity and where her family's originally from and she said she's american - then someone clarified and said ethnicity, not nationality and her response was "oh ok thanks"🫠
someone brought up Debbie Allen in the comments and she confused it for an author but once people began explaining who Debbie Allen was (a dancer teacher and choreographer in LA, and one of the most well known African American dancers in america) she immediately ended the live😭
Retirements
If nothing changes 7 DCCs are set to retire.
Why is the audition process SO long???
I only recently started watching this show on paramount and I’m shocked at how long the audition process is. I have a background in dance (musical theatre and ballet) and even for Broadway, which is insanely competitive, the audition process is not this drawn out. While there are usually several rounds of callbacks, it’s not the kind of thing where you have to put your entire life on hold to go to daily training camp two months with no pay and no guarantee of a job at the end of it. Is this typical for NFL dance teams or is this just something they do for the reality show drama?
New jacket
This reel was very funny but is this a new jacket for the DCC?? It looks different from the tracksuit zip up jacket or is it the same
Finally looool the long awaited confirmation✨
Heard the rumors but I hope she has a great time
Could this be the 6 plus Lea?
Saw this on Megan’s IG. Could this be the 6 ladies that’s retiring plus Lea? If so, I’m sad to see them go.
