My LAST chance! | Taking the Stands EP 7

[@kiara198923]

Finally black women are being represented in a positive way!!! I got so tired of seeing us being represented in a negative way because that's not how majority of us are. Some of us do have diplomas, degrees, certifications, and have ambition etc! I know I do. We aren't all mad, angry, bitter, babymamas, etc etc This is what we need to show our young black girls instead of the foolishness on TV today. I stopped watching TV in 2016 and I don't regret that decision at all!

[@kiara198923]

@@rikabbyify obviously nothing. I said I'm happy they showed more than they usually do on black women. Smh.

[@megs2401]

These ladies are graceful, well-spoken, and beautiful inside and out. These are the type of role models our young black girls need. I love watching this and rooting for them!

[@lyfeofny686]

Yesss!

[@karid.4371]

I love how respectful Charity is of the girls above her.It seems like she really looks up to them and wants to learn as much as she can from the older girls. For her to only be a freshman is amazing. Being your first year in college and balancing all the work they put into being a part of the dance company seriously blows my mind. All these women deserve respect.

[@karenpatrick531]

I think these girls who make the team, should be the Orchesis Dance Team and not keep audition every time. Practice makes perfect. The girls are good dancers.

I love how Charity comes to tryouts fully prepared. Her hair is together.. makeup is beautiful... her overall look and performance is great! I love it.

[@cristina-dk4vo]

Yeah! She put that extra effort in & that's going to pay off for her in the long run

[@deebee476]

I love this dance sponsor. She is fair and objective. You can see her professionalism as well. You can tell that she wants to prepare her students for the next level.

[@TheAverageServant]

Some of her outdated ways could be holding them back..idk

[@chosenonewin8962]

She does an excellent job shes work with the likes of Alvin Ailey School Of Dance. NY,Harlem School of Dance, Chicago School of Dance just to name a few and that's not all of her accomplishments. Her resume speaks for itself shes been a judge for DD4L .

[@adventureswbriii]

Dee Bee yes, she’s also very supportive of them whether they make tryouts or not.

[@stacynewton34]

Everyone who wants and see charity as captain. Hit the like button now😃😃😃😃. She is wonderful on and off the field.n she puts in work.true captain right there

Team Charity! Love it! 💖💖

[@kiara198923]

I love how they are supportive of each other especially when one of them was hurt.

[@HeyitsAngell]

Charity is Bae 😍 I love her she is a great performer. She's classy never trashy. Positive Attitude. She'll be a great captain 🔥

[@mpw1114]

I need a full 30 minutes of this show!! I love how Lyric is so humble but so encouraging! Charity should most definitely be captain.

[@LivingLikeShay]

Okaaayyyy I hate waiting but I livveeee watching this “show” 🙃🤣

Don’t know her name but the girl with the gold zebra print was GET👏TING👏 IT👏! Edit: Now that I’ve watched the whole episode, I found out her name is Charity. She performed, not just danced, but PERFORMED!

[@joinguyen7596]

OMG Charity!!! I could see her as Captain too! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 I SO LOVE THIS SHOW!!! #charity4captain ❤️

[@merloncox4408]

She (charity), has made it plain, and clear. She is still learning, gaining the experience, and thinking about making the cut each week. She's letting you know that the Captain's responsibility is not quite a comfortable situation I'm ready to take on. Perhaps; after basketball season, and spring tryouts, she might be more confident in her abilities to take the helm as captain! Let her grow at her own pace! Let that lol fox 🦊 continue to grow. Her and Ziyan, my fave right now.

[@kimberlyk4086]

Best episode yet imo ❤️ Charity! She’s amazing, can’t wait to see what’s next for her. All the ladies are great! Love this series.

[@taylork7530]

I’m not a makeup person, but Lyric has got it going on with this cat eye👌

That freshman gonna change it up for Grambling..I could feel it

[@tatyanamarie4303]

Thank you that means a lot ❤️ I just watched the whole series and I didn’t know so many people supported us 🙏🏽 u inspired me to keep going

[@romanceof1]

As a SWAC band member I thought it was hard for us, but having to audition for each game.......OMG!!!!! I HAVE A NEW FOUND respect for dancelines.

Charity is it baby! And BESTfriend you are setting a dope representation of what a captain I suppose to be. I tell you all the time but I’m beyond proud of you Lyric.

[@_Msawesome]

Charity is officially BAE 🥰 Yass girl you better slay w/ your animal print sis.

[@samanthasain9422]

Charity and Gaja >>> did y’all see how Gaja hit that bucking count the end of the show! Mama serves energy! I’m excited for them next season!

[@TheConstellationWatcher]

The first episode of this was recommended to me but i have to say this is pretty cool...all the dedication...respect...

[@theredrose777]

It's not just about the glam, but hard work, teamwork, athleticism and dedication. It is so good to see positive young black women, led by positive roll models, and leadership.

[@MariahLashayWay333]

I'm so ready for the next episodes lol. I love watching my Queens including myself doing good things in life. Whether it's running businesses, doing classes,graduating, getting certifications, if not interested in school doing something amazing with their lives. We are ROYALTY. I always wanted to dance but unfortunately my college doesn't have majorettes, dance teams or anything in that sorts so I would HAVE TO MAKE ONE 🤷🏾‍♀️😌 and I am all for it.

[@mulattobarbiiee6332]

Come thru Charity 🤩 that girl can DANCE!!!

[@kaylynnmash9008]

I love this show. It shows what real HBCUs are about and considering half of my family went to this school and half my family went to Southern, Bayou Classic is definitely a huge game for us

[@internetjunkie1075]

YESSSSS THIS MAKES MY WHOLE DAY and its about the bayou classic! i love the SU dancing dolls aswell

[@ItsMeNikki1]

i can definitely see charity as captain she has such a great demeanor dedication and a beautiful personality and she has experience cant wait to see what’s in her future

I Really Love This Show...... I Think Essence Would Be A Great Captain

I’ve grown to love these girls ❤️ lyric is such a doll baby

This makes me want to get tickets to the Classic for next year!

Really looking forward to see these ladies Next season they will be performing in Atlanta this month at Honda Battle of the Band's January 25th.

[@tamkendrick4032]

Y'all be having me on edge when it comes to these episodes. I need the next one like tomorrow 🤣🤣. My nagging aside I'm throuoghly enjoying them. Continue the good work 💪❣️

[@lindseyjasper6676]

So happy we’re seeing all the girls dancing!! This was so inspiring and entertaining. I’ve watched this way too many times! 😂❤️

[@4razorback]

In 2 years, Gaja will most likely be captain. She goes hard every performance and audition. She’s the one that attended to the injured Orchesis.

[@lorenzob7161]

Okay okay HONEEEYYYY!!! I 👏🏾AM👏🏾A👏🏾FAN!! #charity4captain y’all I’m alllllll for it honey. This show gone be lit for a few seasons if they do. Please don’t ratchetfy though! 🙄 Come on Hulu and Netflix y’all better get this one.

[@chaysdiary]

There uniforms seems to always be missing. I love the captain's talk. Remember to stay humble.

[@TheThyckVixen]

Man I wish this was a little longer lol. I really enjoy this show and watching the rehearsals and stuff.

[@RRuss-ov8xm]

These episodes are getting shorter and shorter omg. But I am so happy that there is a series that show case talented, educated, brown women. It really made my heart happy when one of the dancers were injured and they came together to make sure she was ok. That's what I call a team. Keep it up ladies

[@JillianLovesBooks]

Taty makes me want to be a better person. I seriously can't help but look at her when she performs. She's SO good!

[@MsRylda]

I like Lyric. Based on what I’ve seen thus far in the stands as well as in this series, she did well as captain.

[@ParissDevinci]

PLEASE keep the HBCU series.

[@madreep]

Charity goes hard! She's dope. She definitely should be captain next year. She already has experience as a captain which is a plus since a captain needs more than dance skills. And I think having a three year captain is what the Orchesis needs to continue to evolve. I just hope they have some really good crabs next year cause they look alright on the field but they have room for improvement in the stands. Just my opinion.

[@dariusdeasiacooks8546]

Love this show.! T.G.I.F. waiting for this ALL week.

Love love love these episodes really enjoying them so far especially this one and the one to come next week cuz their bayou classic performance is my fave so far so seeing the bts of it is *chefs kiss*. Also Lyric you’re doing amazing sweetie! #LyricEra

[@noonestaaqui]

I think they should have tryouts if people who are getting too COMFY being on the field or too LAZY are slacking off so that they can step it up, but otherwise they should be one team

I wanna be like them one day

[@mrssuchafknladyy2078]

I just knew Kayla from the dolls would be on here, trying out, succeeding, going hard, mannnn she been on like 2 episodes 🙄😩😂 I mean I’m rooting for all the young black queens but ofc most of us know the dd4l girls or were hip to this show from that show🤷🏽‍♀️ some of us may not have went to hbicu’s or knew about this black girl magic, out here killing it and not ghettofied for TV. Love this lil serious during quarantine and ofc I got my 6 yr old daughter stuck on and we’re making up routines and dancing😂😂😂🤪

Keep ‘em coming!

[@gueenvictoria64]

Love this show ❤

[@Goateir]

I feel like Essence or Etasia should be captain next year then Charity or Gaja & Taty together once they leave

[@VeryCeddy]

Envy T to be captain you have to have more than just the moves. Not saying that these ladies don’t have it because I personally believe they do. Both Essence and ET know that. However we all know that Mama Lump has the only day so in who’s gonna be captain. There’s a reason Lyric became captain after her freshman year. I wouldn’t be surprised if charity and a vet because captain together. That’s what happened with Lyric and Jalin. Charity is literally a baby Lyric. From attitude to personality to dance! She’s just it.

[@Goateir]

Cedricious Wright lol I’m not new to dance teams ... I know this. This one episode is not gone change my mind. They looked at essence the same way they look at charity this year, last year they have the same kind of background and everything. Also, etasia always been looked at she just never stepped up fully. But then again as you said you never know.

[@tessiesanders1]

@@VeryCeddy Trying to explain the process to outsiders is proving futal. You can tell because the keep referencing the ODC as "squad" or "dance team," instead of "field show dancers." Remember, we're on the inside; they're on the outside. They simply wouldn't know and are very willing to hang-on to their opinion even after knowledge has been imparted.

[@VeryCeddy]

Envy T the media looked at them. We don’t know who the odc staff is looking at. All I can say is the media’s favorites aren’t always the choice. Just Don’t be disappointed IF none of ya favs become captain including charity. Just because the aired this doesn’t mean anything.

[@VeryCeddy]

tessiesanders1 you right mama!

[@noonestaaqui]

Maybe they can have tryouts for who will be in the front or in the back

[@user-fh9xi9nb7p]

Love this

[@46jazzz]

Hello Zi'yan, awesome you are.

[@quedubb3725]

I feel they could b better if they change they audition process. They need to pick a set them then let them work to become strong. It's no growth when some only making the team twice a year there is no growth. And when did they start bucking lol stick to your own style. But love the show they just will never grow using this type of audition strategy. Hold cuts but pick a permanent team

[@aaronbuggs5173]

Gsu been bucking that shows you don't watch odc they were doing that since Jaime was captain btw ODC is unique that's what they do at least others can join that's GSU style an every week they just gotta be on it

[@tessiesanders1]

The ENTIRE company practices TOGETHER from SUNDAY to SUNDAY when it comes to field n show performances. ALL practice the routine if the are wishing to audition for the field show during the Fall football season.
