This was really good! Lifetime is watering their routines down on tv by editing and changing the music! They need to show the dolls like this because they're killing it!
ReallyCal She got this swag and way of dancing that I LOVE. I don't know whether I should say this, but she got this sex appeal that just ooz out of her when she dances, especially slow stands.
Ok whatever hair company Tamia buys from I need in my life! She was swinging that hair every which way and it went right back in place. I just got my LIFE lol
Once again Mrs.Dianna, excellent work. These girls looked really good and I had NO idea they were performing in MD or DC, or we would have went to see them. And Kayla, if you see this comment... you set it off EVERY single time. Enjoy watching you dance.
Please explain to me how you were blessed with the perfect seat!! You captured every last one of the main characters or fan favorites!!! Sunjai, Camryn, Kayla, Crystianna & Yasss that Tamia! Girl that opening was sick!!! Good job @Christina Butts
Lol, thank you!! I had to squeeze my way to the front, and every time someone tried to scoot up beside/in front of me (except children under 8) I'd scoot up with them.
I liked that too. Loved hearing the crowds reaction as each one came out. But you can tell Kayla is the fan favorite everyone went crazy when she hit the floor she was giving a lil extra when she stopped hamming it up for the crowd love it.
N dlock That would be expected, considering that Kayla is/was captain. I could see that Tamia was front and center at the beginning of the performance. I know that they're taking a break from competing, but I wonder when she'll start leading the team.
True True btwn her being the captain Killa dance moves and a bomb personality the fans love her. I liked also how other girls like Makya and Kenjie etc who aren't part of the main cast were recognized by people as well. It's nice that more of the team beyond the main girls are drawing a fan base. I think Tamia will prolly take over mid summer/fall when Kayla is officially done with the team which is in the summer after the Majorette tour ends.
Thank You Christina for putting up this video! I absolutely love, love love this team. I love the way Coach D teachers these young ladies true sportmanship. and she keeps them humble. I congratulate all the teams. but I am a DD4L for life!
Wow!!! Thanks Ms. Christina Butts that was mind dropping , I onlywish they could have showed this on Lifetime# for those girls from Miami .... Good Job ladies
Lady Lox You're welcome, and I completely agree with everything you said. I loved them before, but after actually getting the chance to talk to Ms. D one on one, I love them even more. @Dominique Harris They didn't compete in an actual stand battle this time; they only did a mock stand battle with the teams they coached in their dance clinic.
Thanks for this video I have been waiting to see their DC performance. They did amazing everyone looked great. Their hardwork and all those late night practices definitely paid off. Great job
They play that type music on the show because Bring it and lifetime didn't acquire the rights, permission, etc to play the songs being danced to. So much more $$$ would have to be spent for all the that.
Girl, I was wondering and thinking the same thing watching this show ~ thank goodness they don't use that "made for tv" music broadcasted during the show! Thanks for posting this video
From my observation DD4L is the best, most outstanding team ever, they do not steal the other teams routine and mix them with their steps, they have their own original routine. And for that I class them as the best of all, even though at times they may lose to another team, they still the best. The other teams need to stop stealing routines and get their own. DD4L FOREVER love these girls.
Great Video..... I enjoyed your video more then I enjoyed actually being there since I was sitting on the other side by the wall and they never turned around to perform for us. Good post.
So this has got to be in my top 5 of favorites, but I'm going to note some observations both from a fan's point of view and also as a former dancer (professionally trained). I know y'all are on the Tamia train and don't get me wrong, she's pretty good, but she also makes a lot of mistakes. I haven't seen a clean performance from her yet. She's gorgeous and I think she makes a better captain that Camryn would, but she needs to tighten up on her consistency, especially now that she's going to be taking the reigns. Kayla tends to be flawless. Each. And. Every. Time (but then she looks like she was born to lead this team). Chrystianna is the silent assassin. I'm not sure why no one is noticing, but if she was a little more assertive, SHE would be my choice for captain above both Tamia and Camryn. No, she's not swinging 30 inches of someone else's hair all over the place, but she's technically a better dancer than both of them and she's got a style that comes off much cleaner than Tamia. Dianna does a GREAT job at choreography and the girls make it look easy which is a benefit because a lot of teams dance and you can see that they're either thinking too much, trying too hard or the moves just don't come naturally. Whoever is in the video and you can hear them say they look tired was RIGHT. Some of them seem to have lost steam midway through. They need to work on their stamina or stop working so hard in the beginning that they look like they're going to fall out by the middle. If I have one criticism about her routines is that she makes them travel too far and it leads to them crashing into each other or not get to where they're supposed to be when they're supposed to be there. Traveling needs to make sense and your dancers should not have to run to where they're supposed to be and still not make it. If you look at this performance from another angle, you'll see where 2 girls ran straight into each other. If they're not going so far they won't have that problem. It happens in every single routine. What I wish someone would do is PLEASE give Sky and Star a personality or work on their performance skills. Uneventful to me, in fact they look like they don't even want to be where they are. It's like Sunjai is here and we're going to be here anyway and since we have to be here anyway, we might as well put on a uniform and dance.... hooo hummmm Oh yeah... Zatia and Camyrn have TOO MUCH HAIR on their heads. It's a distraction and it just looks bad on their hair whips.
+Dannielle Jones there are plenty of clean performance from tamia...not ue the word never, however she has messed up n so does kayla sometimes and camryn,
One thing that bothers me about being an injured Vet is that I can't do this anymore...dance was my heart. I'm glad I served, wouldn't take it back, it just hurts to see something I love and not be able to do it without limitations.
Yassssssssss 😍😘 I've watched this video like 10 times they killed this routine, I love how you got everybody so close up and omg I see some of them babies have transitioned to DDs I know they gonna kill it when the new season start sigh I'm gonna miss all 5 of the seniors that's leaving 😥 but, most of all Kayla & Sunjai but, I know they still gonna be that team everybody wanna beat. Tamia, Cammie, Crystiana, Kenji, Makya, and everybody else still gonna be on the battle squad plus a few new people so I know they still gonna be fire.
Ucef Knowles I have to agree with you there and I'm not African American :) These girls are BEASTS on the dance floor for sure...they kick everyone's Azz!! lol
i know im really really lte on this but i was i could´ve sw it by te time i was going to get the tickets they were all sold out and that ruined my day but i like how they were by my house and i almost had the chance to see them.
who's hot chocolate with dimples? she's an amazing dancer who should also get more air time..Actually, all of the major 10 dancers should get recognition for their talent. The team is hot.
Yeah the only reason why they don't play the real songs on lifetime because lifetime doesn't own any original copyrights to those songs. Plus they probably didn't ask any permission from the record companies to use their songs.
