Hannah (S13 Rookie)

Hannah's 2019 cameo photo

* 22-years-old from Illinois. She first auditioned for DCC at 19, and she’s come back every year since, hoping to make her dream a reality. When she was 14, she was diagnosed with anxiety and depression, and for an extended period, she and her family weren’t always sure how she would make it to the next day. She’s been through a lot, but that made she’s made it through that much. Being here today is a huge thing for her. Dancing means everything to her, and got her through the hard times. It clears her brain every single day and is her saving grace. If she could make the team, she’d love to use the platform to bring attention to mental illness, and alert others that they aren’t alone.

### **Season 13**

**(13.3)**

* [Invited to training camp] This is unreal and I still think I’m hallucinating, and this isn’t happening, but we’re here and I’m going to training camp.

**(13.4)**

* Seeing all the alumni make a player entry tunnel for all of us training camp candidates to walk into, it’s amazing to see. It’s like walking into the sisterhood yourself.
* I don’t know if Kelli would call anyone into her office tonight. This is the first night, but, you know, training camp is full of unexpected twists, so it could happen.

**(13.5)**

* Getting noticed by such establish DCCs, that’s such a great feeling, because they know exactly what it takes to go above and beyond the DCC standards.
* Honestly, Kelli and Judy could make cuts tonight if they felt like it. There’s still 45 of us here.

**(13.6)**

* Today, before rehearsal, we have power squad training with Jay Johnson. Obviously, since he’s the trainer, he knows what it takes, but he’s also a judge, so his input is incredibly important.
* I don’t know how anyone’s bodies haven’t collapsed, honestly. But we’re all making it through, and to be considered one of the most fit on this power squad is great.

**(13.7)**

* Biogaphy
* [Makes show group] It didn’t really cross my mind that any training camp candidate would make it, let alone myself, so when they called my name, I was in disbelief.

**(13.8)**

* [Senior center] It’s exciting to see the power of the star come to life, watching all the residents lighten up to see all of us here. And it’s really great to be here to spread that joy.

**(13.9)**

* I have never danced on a football field before. I came from the Chicago Luvabulls, which is the NBA dance team for the Chicago Bulls. So, definitely very different dancing on a basketball court compared to a football field.

**(13.12)**

* It’s been 90 days since we’ve been on this field. So, it’s definitely a lot pressure, but it’s near the end, so we’re just giving it everything we have tonight.

**(13.13)**

* [Makes team] It feels surreal. I never thought I’d actually be right here.
* [In the tunnel] This is a really proud moment for me, and I owe it all to my family and my friends and all of my teachers. I wouldn’t be here without all them.
* I feel like I’m dancing out of my boots.

### **Season 14**

**(14.3)**

* [With Daphne] I’m just gonna be sassy, sexy, and hardcore.
* As a veteran, I want to make sure that I come in better than I was the year before and confident.

**(14.8)**

* To get a compliment from Tyce Diorio is pretty awesome.
