* [Before office] "Tonight could end up being a cut night, and that is a little bit scary, but I’m just hoping that they are able to give me a chance to keep on improving."
* [After office] "I’m happy that they’re giving me another shot, so I’m really hoping that I can show them that I can be the fluid dancer that they need."
* [Before office] "It would be upsetting if tonight was my last night, but I’m really hoping that Kelli and Judy can give me another chance and give me some time to improve."
* [After cut] "I was not expecting for tonight to be my last night, and I am really upset about it, but honestly, I’m really proud of myself for even getting this far. I battled adversity every night for the past four weeks, so I think I’m walking out of here a stronger person and even a stronger dancer."

## **Office Visits**

### **Season 13**

**(13.7)**

* [Mid episode, second of two] Kelli says they have to make assessments who is game ready. They’re still noticing a lack of controlled, elegant extension in her leg, which is usually a matter of flexibility. Lindsay says she’s worked hard to get to her current flexibility, and that she can continue to work and improve on it. Kelli cautions that it’s not as simple as it sounds, which Lindsay should know from her medical background However, they still feel strongly about her. [*Lindsay leaves*] Kelli says that it was telling she was not a high scorer at finals relative to others who made training camp, and Judy notes that some others have moved up.
* [End of episode, second of two] When asked how she feels, Lindsay says she really liked having Denise, and that whenever she was learning one of the dances, Denise said she was too fluid, and she feels she overcorrected. She thinks she’ll be able to find the middle ground. Kelli thinks she can, but isn’t sure it’ll be soon enough. [*Commercial break*] Kelli says that this year’s class has a higher bar. She’s confident Lindsay would be a good ambassador. She’s beautiful, smart, respected, and has great recommendations. However, she’s not the strongest performer in the room. Lindsay asks how she can improve her performance. Kelli suggests dance classes from multiple styles. However, the DCC dance style is stretching her, and Kelli doesn’t think she’s currently ready. Lindsay’s worked hard to be sitting there right now, and thinks she could do it. Kelli agrees with that, but says they need to make roster decisions, and over the past four weeks, she hasn’t been top 36 in terms of dance style. Tonight will be her last night. Lindsay thanks them, and says she’ll take a lot of dance classes, and hopefully she’ll be back next year. [*Lindsay leaves*] Kelli remarks that she’s sweet and pretty, and Judy agrees.
