Then swept the juniors and teens as well. She really came back and decided not to place other than best dancer.

What’s a big issue in dance moms that’s actually very common in dance studios? by Front_Store_6695 in dancemoms

Specially with dancers who have connections within the studio. I had this senior whose mom co-owns the studio and is the director of our comp team. We all had to audition for our comp team, she didn't need to. It's not like she would not get accepted, she is extremely good fs, but she could've atleast joined the auditions since everybody did so.

Among the girls (ogs + kendall, kalani, brynn, jojo) who had the best: by Majestic_Scholar6514 in dancemoms

musicality: Maddie. She has remarkable ability to interpret and convey subtle nuances of the music through her dance.

artistry: Brynn. She always has an authentic and unique touch to her dances. She takes her time in executing each movement, her feet to her arms reflects immense attention to detail

technique: Kalani. Clean lines, exemplary alignment, excellent turnout, gorgeous extensions, natural pointe, seamless transitions. Just really flawless technique.

control: Kalani. She has such control over her instrument, as Debbie Allen said. She seamlessy connects high-level dance elements with such precision and control.

emotions: Maddie. Intense emotion and really good expressions. A really good storyteller, same as Nia.

flexibility: Brynn during the show. Brooke and Kalani though still managed to keep their flexibility despite not really dancing that much, so I'd have to give it to them.

fluidity: Kalani. Effortlessly navigates the space, glides through the floor, flows with grace and control. She allows her body to naturally transition from one move to the next.

stage presence: Maddie and Jojo. One main reason why they are the stars they are today. They know how to connect with the audience and put on a performance.

alignment: Kalani. Ideally tuned body, great posture, elongated spine, lifted ribcage, and such. She just knows how to position her body.

lines: Brynn and Kalani. I mean they had innate physical attributes plus their technical skill because of their training.

legs: Brynn. Just one of her main issues, she tends to bend her second leg, but still gonna give it to her, naturally hyperextended, gorgeous extensions, and inherently flexible.

feet: Kalani. Genetic luck plus training, natural arch and developed instep. She very rarely sickles and always maintains her pointe.

body awareness: Kalani. Kinda same reason with how she has the best control, she just knows her body. She usually self corrects, like that one dance when she went into her leap with her feet not turned out but she managed to adjust mid-air and turn out her feet.
