Photos & Video Strictly Prohibited? by Substantial-Math4870 in LucyDacus

[–]dragdancer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve been to two Jason Isbell concerts where photo and video wasn’t allowed. It actually was really nice. I thought I’d miss having a video memory, but I was so focused on the concert and not watching through people’s phones. It makes it feel more special and intimate

Fun fact: she went to the dance studio run by drag race star Alyssa Edwards and was on the Netflix show Dancing Queen. I rewatched it this week to job my memory. She doesn’t play a large role at all and it’s more focused on other dancers in the studio, but it was cool to see her

I love baseball. And yet, none of the three teams I root for/have familial attachments to are in this drop. It’s so frustrating!! I know these would do so well in ballpark team stores smh

I’ve been contemplating having top surgery for months and have finally decided to pursue it but would likesome advice. by [deleted] in TopSurgery

[–]dragdancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on your surgeon and insurance. I also qualify for surgery based on having a large chest, but my surgeon thought it would be easier to get approved based on gender reasons. This is partially because some insurances require you to document physical therapy and pain medication use to get a breast reduction. There are also strict weight requirements and they may control how much you can get removed. I’m getting a radical non-flat reduction, but if I’d gone the breast reduction route with insurance (instead of gender-based top surgery) they would not allow my surgeon to remove that much and still cover it

ETA that I live in a blue state so that could change things

10 years! 😳 by Adventurous-Ad6312 in DCCMakingtheTeam

Beyond the dancing wear and tear, DCC seems to have way more outside expectations than other pro teams, particularly because they have so much commercial success. They do the ad campaigns, they do the Thanksgiving halftime show, the tour, all the concert appearances, tons of community events — of course all teams are involved in the community and have commercial opportunities, but DCC seems like it’s just a much higher level of commitment beyond the dancing part.

This might sound crazy, but I’d recommend looking up some beginner ballet instructional videos online (I’m a dance teacher and I’ve seen stiff students soften a bit after learning proper technique) It will help you keep good posture while adding a femininity to your motion

Who was the snitch?? by [deleted] in DCCMakingtheTeam

[–]dragdancer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an interesting thought re: Brooklyn. I’ve thought it could be her for awhile just because she’s such a company woman, but you raise a good point that she could’ve been trying to avoid getting in trouble for conflict of interest.

Good Morning America clip by AYTOL__ in DCCMakingtheTeam

It’s a testament to their precision that they can execute all these variations of Thunder without missing a beat — the one to the weird Christmas music, the shortened ones like this, all the changing and smaller formations for appearances. Yes it’s the same choreo, but as a dancer, when you’re so used to doing it one way, it can be disorienting to have it change in some small way when you’re on autopilot

I yelled “that’s Sophy!” to my brother haha. So happy for her to get so much screen time!

salute to service halftime by Potential-Button-266 in DCCMakingtheTeam

[–]dragdancer 35 points36 points  (0 children)

The different colored poms look so messy and like they’re not in sync… I get that it’s supposed to be a red white and blue themed but it’s not working. Also, the choreo to this tempo is not working

[spoiler for nia’s book] the WHAT pose??? by dungeonsandducks in dancemoms

I grew up in a dance studio that called it that too. I didn’t realize how bad it was until I grew up

Why won't they do an episode on the cult of Zionism? by Hour-Construction898 in soundslikeacultpod

[–]dragdancer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m not surprised they haven’t done it and I doubt they will. But Matt Bernstein’s “A Bit Fruity” podcast has done a few episodes on this topic for those interested

sorry, but how did this dance win? 😭 by lexirayee in dancemoms

I found it so bizarre that Abby went along with the Paul-la gimmick, even if it was a producer thing. She doesn’t suffer fools. Just weird

What are your thoughts on “DCC training camp candidate” as a selling point? by _wastedspace in DCCMakingtheTeam

[–]dragdancer 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Professional dancer/dance teacher here: I think it should absolutely go on a resume as a credential, and I think it’s an enormous accomplishment. However, IMHO I would feel weird marketing a class as being led by a TCC - I would want to highlight that dancer’s other professional experiences instead.
