Sunjai was NEVER a terrible dancer. She just had memory & timing issues. Eventually she got the hang of it, but learning new choreography every week is TOUGH. Speaking from experience 😩
Like children in school, not every child learns the same way. Selena did well when kayla worked with her 1:1..a strategy other girls could benefit from. Why not make time in your practice to let better dancers work with others struggling. As a teacher for 44 years, listening to sunjai talk about her memory, I suspect she has auditory memory issues and may need more 1:1 practice. Even teaching 44 years, some of my higher students could teach my other students with difficulties things I couldn't. All students process, learn, and retrieve information differently...... Ironically, being a majorette dancer and learning drills and stand battles will also strengthen her auditory and memory skills. It just helps to understand the "why" sometime!! I love Ms D and DD4L!!
I Agree But Sunjai did say she had trouble remembering the stands and she preferred the slower stands because the fast stands she had problems catching on because they moved thru it Quickly, and she could not keep up, Personally I think it was staged by the producers to make the show seem more realistic. Realistically They rehearsed for the whole week before a competition so at any given time during a competition, The girls had to be prepared to do and know at least 10 or 12 different stands in any Competition they Battled in and the captain had to know even more so she could throw anything during the battle and the girls had to follow her lead so it was to Sunjai's benefit to practice with Kayla one on one so she could take her time to learn the stands for that week, I thought Kayla was a pretty cool Captain and in later episodes after Cameryn became Captain they showed her working with one of the girls on stands right before the Competition after they were already dressed in uniforms and ready to go out. But the Heavy hitters were the girls who were versatile in acrobatics, ballet and lyrical, So I think that is why a lot of the story lines only included certain girls I think they threw Selena and JJ as well as their 3 girls for humor, somebody had to be the scapegoat. On Diana's Live she talked about it and how some things were the Producers Ideals. Rittney also did a live and talked about the time she took Christyanna to dance on the Divas of Olive Branch team was all the Producers Idea. The only thing I was never able to find out is if they were paid to do the show The girls on the Dance moms show were paid. @@lindastarling9795
Miss Diana is one of the most down to earth tv “dance coach” I’ve ever seen, she understands these girls have lives outside the studio and if anything she encourages them to make those once in a lifetime memories. Can you imagine if a dance moms girl told Abby she’d rather go to prom than a competition???
I know some people like to hate on Selena for constantly pushing her girls so much but…..she and JJ definitely did something right because all 3 girls went to college, Sunjay is a real estate agent and still works with Dianna, and I believe Star is married and is a mother now, while Sky is just living her life.
An attitude can be a defense mechanism when someone has been embarrassed, feels like a failure, or under a great deal of pressure....can be self inflicted
I love how Selena and JJ doted on their daughters! They are super loving and supportive to their kids. I love the fact that Sunjai had such a strong support system ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
She wasn’t a majorette dancer. You notice sky and star was nowhere to be found until right before sunjai graduated? They weren’t majorette dancers they just converted for the show and college opportunities
@@jenniferjohnson3505 that’s not the style they are trained in. So it looks as if they “can’t dance” or “unmotivated” like multiple people have stated on the show. All three sisters were play catch up to their peers who were dancing majorette since they were little
@@tyzami5607 could have been, but why they all had problems keeping up with the dancing dolls? There are plenty of dancers like faith and princess that have made the switch and they fit right in with the dolls talent. And when Diana did that dance in heels and her girls were struggling so she let sunjai led them or when sunjai said in season 1 soft dancing was her strong suit and she couldn’t buck. They are many more hints like that they are trained in another style.
@@jenniferjohnson3505they said in a couple shows that her daughters danced since they were little, and in one show they said they recently moved to DD. You can tell all three were trained in lyrical and jazz style, and a little bit of hip hop. Majorette dancing includes those styles, but studios training girls are coming up with different routines every couple weeks. Studios work on the same handful of routines every season, and compete in the spring. Totally different atmosphere and comps
Diana IS THE COACH!! SUNJAI DOESN'T NEED TO BE IN EVERY SINGLE BATTLE!! Maybe another girl deserves a chance to be the star this week! Selena needs to BACK OFF!! LET DIANA COACH AND YOU SIT BACK AND LET HER DO HER JOB!!
Im kinda likin the new season of the dolls 9n BTV....The parents still a mess, they not on the sidewalk lookin in the window like peepin toms, they sit in their cars or go to a lil lounge nxt door....They dont compete wkly like on lifetime.....To me its less intense
