Caroline

* 22-years-old from Missouri. She fell in love with dance at the age of 3 and danced through high school at her studio, and then she danced for the University of Missouri Golden Girls. Her father is her greatest role model. He played professionally for the Seattle SuperSonics, the San Antonio Spurs, and the Miami Heat. Her going after the DCC is similar to him moving out of Missouri after graduation to play professional basketball. He always tells her to believe in herself and stay confident because he wants her fulfilling her dreams. Balancing taking three financial classes and trying to make it through training camp has been a lot. She wants to give 100% to both. If she becomes a DCC, she will be speechless since it’s such a huge process, and making it would be surreal.

So, I know everyone’s really excited. There’s a lot of opportunity to show them what you’re good at."

### **Season 13**

**(13.4)**

* "Caroline and I actually haven’t graduated yet, so we’ll be finishing up our courses here in Texas and we’ll be doing training camp at the same time." – Daphne

**(13.5)**

* [Makeovers] "Caroline’s going to have to get her glam on. Right now, her hair is kind of in a medium, mousy brown stage. She needs more vibrancy in her hair, and I think if we get the color right, her eyes will just be enchanting." – Kelli
* [Makeover] "This will enhance Caroline’s presence in a room. I think she’s going to stand out and be glamorous, where before now, we were kind of calling her plain." – Kelli

* [Suggesting a new point for the triangle] I think her look, her style – you don’t have to worry about. You can trust her. I like her. – KaShara

**(14.9)**

* [Giving stickers] She never shows attitude, she’s never rude to anyone; she’s always just positive, uplifting, in a very genuine way. – Tess/ I think Caroline is going to be one your back pocket leaders, where you can just pull her out and she’s going to know exactly what to do and how to speak and how to act. – Heather
