Best of Season 1

[@mollycorkeyflatters8639]

It’s so funny seeing Melissa Rycroft get called, knowing that she has a mirror ball now and is the showmanship coach for DCC

[@MadNKat1]

Molly Corkey Flatters that’s what I thought!

[@pollypocket2282]

I had the exact same reaction! When they said her name I was like, wait, THAT Melissa?

[@mammyewok]

this shows that melissa isnt as great as she thinks she is..everytime shes on,its like,ugh..

[@antwonnyy]

mammyewok you’re comparing her now to 14 years ago..

[@unknown-lf6zx]

The young lady from Japan is such an amazing story. Imagine not knowing the language and doing as well as she did!!!

[@kellyanderson7624]

Yuko was the same way

[@pollypocket2282]

I liked that softer side of Kelli... Man I wish she was still that way! And Kitty... well I’ve never cared for her aggressive style. You can tell the truth, but if you say it a bit nicer, people are more likely to respond.

[@tammiepage6489]

I’m not trying to be mean but I’m gonna say get over it because sometimes the truth hurts and I’m sorry to say these little nicer people take it the wrong way I mean it’s sad that we live in a world where people expect somebody to sit there and talk and be honest them but yet when they are being honest they also you’re being mean and being harsh and I hate to break it to you but that’s the way that businesses they have to be tough and if they can’t handle it then you can’t be in a business and that’s the reality because guess what they’re gonna deal with a lot of that crap from magazines or whatever criticizing little things so yeah she Hass to be tough whether you like it or not so whoever they want to whine about like you clearly are get over it grow up you know the truth hurts and if it comes off me and then it comes off mean oh well that’s what you know that’s part of that business and you’re probably the type person I can’t handle if she sounds too sensitive like me I’m brutally honest and I call it brutally honest because sometimes it comes off mean so yeah it doesn’t mean you’re a mean person like her doesn’t mean she’s a mean person she’s just been brutally honest I can’t sit there and tell them what they want to hear because it doesn’t help them and I guarantee you these girls especially if they been dancing their whole lives whatever I guarantee you they’re used to it because that’s how it is in that business and if you have people telling them what they wanna hear than you’re not gonna make it

[@angelaluna7532]

It’s crazy how much dance has evolved because half of these girls would not make it today

[@boxblue4434]

None* of them would have made it even the ones who look like they have a dance background looked weak

[@niamhduffy2012]

Definitely, Allie in particular is one of thos people who thought NFL cheer was athletic cheer instead of a dance team.

[@aviaforrester1481]

Hi.

[@anchineliu7355]

Especially true looking at the solos back then in comparison to today... it's basically 2 techniques vs 15 techniques

[@aimerequena9968]

They say “our most competitive year or group” every year....

[@anatejeda1987]

Because every year a handful set the bar high.

[@kianakosack7800]

.... Erm maybe because the talent gets better every year? Duh

[@purplecupcakexo]

Also the TV show is fairly popular too, I'm sure women are more likely to try out knowing they'll be on TV too. Wouldn't be surprised.

[@jellysweetheart11]

It’s great seeing Melissa in her private lessons with Kitty, especially when she helped the new recruits in the newest season in the same ways!

[@jbp2961]

This was great! Differences between year 1 of the show and now.... 1. Dance technique so much stronger now 2. No pink and blue back then at rehearsals 3. Kelli and Judy dressed in shorts and jeans!! 4. Squad photo: rookies mixed in with everyone not in the back like today Who has more??

[@isabellacosby3339]

Jackie Phillips they also don’t do the boot camp thing anymore, right?

[@Jaynay009]

5. Body types were more realistic rather than the almost emaciated types in later years 6. Melissa had a role and purpose 😄

[@anatejeda1987]

I don't believe they have that big sis, lil' sis thing going on anymore. It seems like now the group leader is the responsible one of a struggling training camp candidate, not a big sis (verteran) over a lil' sis (rookie).

[@nb-user25]

Shorts, jeans and sweatsuits!

[@athenahastings1151]

Do they still do Camp DCC with the children? Don't think I've seen that before

[@nehsangbong7259]

I just found out that Meagan Flaherty died, almost 4 years ago. :( So sad. She was one of my favorites. I used to call her "Julia Roberts with curly hair" because she reminded me of her. Meagan was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia on May 12, 2015 and fought a gracious battle against it until March 13, 2016.

[@WeazelNewsLucid]

Meagan is one of the girls who kept me watching week after week. Was so disappointed i n the way her time with the show was handled.

[@lilyann168]

Oh, thats so sad to hear. Leukemia is pretty treatable these days, i'm kind of surprised she died from it.

Man, I was obsessed with this show back then ahah

[@sherylpockrose4029]

The show was much more interesting back then, when there was more variety in who tried out and who made the first cut. I'm glad they don't do the military workout contest any more, but the show recently has been pretty boring -- everyone looks the same.

[@anatejeda1987]

Also like these older seasons because it wasn't about inviting guest choreographers eveey episode 🙄

[@jeffgreen3376]

From a male perspective, I love the military workout contest. That was one of my favorite parts of the show. They have to cater to the male audience too, you know. Something about hot girls doing sit-ups interests me, for some reason. :)

[@kianakosack7800]

because they know the look they want duh

[@beachbum1110]

I think they still do all of that. It just doesn't make it on the show anymore.

[@barbarakingry9163]

They still do the military workout and award the t-shirts. Not every aspect of the process makes what we see on the TV show. It changes from year to year.

[@kallielynne199]

Sorry, was Andrea’s dance not just a stripper dance? They like to preach how they’re upstanding citizens and examples for young women, but then turn around and make fun of (mostly black) contestants for doing risqué moves, but when it’s one of their vets it’s okay? Smh

[@anatejeda1987]

When my husband watched this with me he said, "I thought they were all about poise and grace, there is nothing graceful about showing up to auditions looking like a stripper" LMFAO!

[@brett8460]

The other girls were more raunchy than Andrea though. They were spreading their legs wide open and then rolling all over the floor. Yeah, that's trashy, but Andrea's dancing was also pretty trashy. I couldn't tell if she was auditioning to be a DCC or a stripper. If you're going to reprimand one girl, you have to reprimand them all otherwise it looks like you're showing favoritism but Kelli shows favoritism towards girls all the time.

What I love most about this video is the fact that making the squad was almost fair game back then 90% of these women wouldnt make it to the second round if they tried out today minus Brooke, Nicole Hamilton and a few others most of these women had little to no dance background but were still given an opportunity now they literally recruit who they want and they pick who can catch on the fastest or who they simply like.. please dont think you can try out and have a chance if you havent heard from someone on the DCC camp or havent already danced in the NFL or NBA or in college its sad but the truth but they sell this story that anyone can tryout and make it knowing they already have a clue of who they want before hand too many girl have admitted that they were recruited
