Lindsey (S11 TCC)

* 21-years-old from West Virginia. Dancing her whole life and recently graduated with a dance degree from conservatory dance program. Her style is mainly jazz and ballet, so it will be a challenge to learn pom, hip-hop, and DCC style. 6-feet tall, so is always struggling with fitting in dance world. Believes her height will help her stand out and become a DCC.

* Biography

**(11.4)**

* [Before office visit] Think every girl worries about cut night. It’s scary.

**(11.5)**

* [After cut] Kind of in shock, but so grateful for experiences I’ve had here so far. Hope to come back next year and maybe look into some hip-hop classes so I can fit the DCC style. Tears just from sadness. I have to leave this awesome locker. Crazy that I won’t be back on Monday. This year isn’t my year.

## **Commentary**

### **Season 11**

**(11.2)**

* Outfit and body look great, you have the skills, it’s just boring… she’s just boring as hell – Kitty Carter

**(11.3)**

* “Lindsey’s really tall.” – J, “I don’t think we’ve ever had a 6-foot-tall cheerleader.” – K

* “I’m dreadfully curious about Lindsey. There’s a real possibility she’s too tall in the room.” – K

* “Lindsey’s kicks are going to need to be higher if she’s on the 50 yard line.” – J

* Your kicks are lower and look heavy, like it’s a struggle. – J

* [Yes or no’s] – “Maybe” – K

**(11.4)**

* I like Lindsey, but do have her as a question mark. Just the sheer nature of her being so tall, she needs to get more powerful with her movements. – K

**(11.5)**

* “What do you think about the tall one?” – K, “Kind of awkward.” – Musgraves, “She’s a trained jazz dancer, which is more fluid. And it’s not working.” – K

* Still a little fluid on those arms. They’re just kind of … [gestures] fighting ‘em. – K

## **Office Visits**

### **Season 11**

**(11.4)**

* [Mid episode, second of two called in] Kelli tells her they have 47 and will go down to 36. If they had just picked 36, she wouldn’t have made it. They note she has good presence in the room, good lines, good placement. If this was jazz and not poms and power, she’d be one of most graceful. Concerned how powerful her type of dancing will be on football field. Kelli thinks she could be a good DCC. Like what they see, but she still needs to work on power, kick precision, stamina. Suggests doing Jay’s boot camps for stamina/cardio. Ball’s in her court. Lindsey thanks them, and says she will do that and show them she can do it.

**(11.5)**

* [Mid episode, second of two called in] Lindsey says she had so much fun tonight. Kelli says they have some concerns about her stamina. Think she’s beautiful, bubbly, refreshing in the room. But they’ve seen enough, to come to conclusion. She’s not ready for team at this moment. Lindsey understands that they’re putting together a team and her height sometimes stands out, but she’s been trying to get lower and more powerful.  Kelli sees that, but for this season, tonight will be her last night. If this is dream, take power and pom and hip-hop (low-to-ground classes). Almost need to undo some of the jazz in her. Lindsey hopes to see her again next year. [*She leaves*] Kelli thinks it’s the right decision, just hard.
