Amy T.

* 24-years-old from Missouri. She was on the University of Missouri Golden Girls for four years, but she’s more than just a pretty face. She majored in bio-medical engineering with a minor in computational neuroscience. She constantly fighting stereotypes as a woman in engineering. You can feel discriminated against, but it always made her work harder. She did a final project with three other women in order to graduate. They designed an implant for herniated disc repair, and received a patent. Working on the project was very inspiring because it’s changing lives today. Becoming a DCC is a dancer’s dream and would be a life-changing experience.

### **Season 10**

**(10.1)**

* It’s really amazing to be here. It’s so overwhelming and surreal.
* Biography
* There’s no guarantees of moving onto the next round, but I think I did everything I could, today.
* The cover came off the board and my number was there. It was a moment to remember.
* Walking out of the tunnel for the first time onto the field was breathtaking.
* It’s a little stressful. I’m used to learning dances fast, but it’s just kind of getting used to the style, the choreography, making sure that you’re paying attention to little details, because that’s what matters.
* Kelli calling my name today would mean everything. It’s a big moment. I’m gonna definitely be holding my breath.

**(10.2)**

* I’m definitely anxious to show Kitty Carter my solo. You just never know what she’s going to think. Gotta have a thick skin, but know that it’s just to make us better.
* Today, we find out who the lucky girl is that got the fan vote, and earns an automatic spot into training camp. Crossing my fingers that it’s gonna be me.
* Words don’t describe this feeling of making it into training camp. You can’t even believe it’s happening. This is definitely the ultimately accomplishment. And this is the best of the best.
* We are still auditioning for our spot. So, training camp, we can’t let down. We have to step our game up, even continue to prove that we deserve a spot for that first game.

**(10.3)**

* You know, this is the NFL, it’s the big time, we’re at Valley Ranch for the first time, which is so exciting, to be where the DCC practice, where the Cowboys practice.

**(10.4)**

* [Jump split] You’re anxious. You just don’t know what’s going to happen. The first time there was a little shooting pain in the spine. But apparently, that’s normal.
* Today, we’re at the Verandah Club for Jay’s Boot Camp workout. It takes a lot of stamina for the kick line, for all the dances that we do for the DCC. So, it’s so important to continue to be in shape and to get in even better shape.

**(10.8)**

* This is my locker and this is me! And I can’t believe that’s me, life-size. Amazing.
* [Squad photo] As we walk into the room, it’s so exciting. There’s lights, camera everywhere. And we’re trying to look and see out picture, see where we’re going to be standing for the squad photo.
* [Meet the team] My head was spinning a little bit during rehearsal. There’s so many quick costume changes. There’s lots of different styles of choreography, so you got to keep everything straight. You got to really be on your toes, be on your “A”-game.
* [Meet the team] My favorite part of the night was probably the finale. It was kind of that moment of, we did it. The first show is over, and we’re DCC now.
