Speaker 1: the vets, all of vets. So first, what's been happening,

14
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:06,479
Speaker 1: What's what's new and hot in the DCC world. Well,

15
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: it's been off season, so we've still been here for

16
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 1: Technique Tuesdays. We get to see each other um pretty

17
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: consistently still, which is great. We still have shows going on,

18
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: kids camps, kids camps and yeah, have you had a

19
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: favorite choreographer come in for Technique Tuesdays? That's a hard one.

20
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: I love DJ Guthrie and I love Marcia. Yeah, I

21
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: love Marcia's class. It was really fun and you know,

22
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: she kind of just throws choreography at you and it's

23
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: you know, good time. She turns lights down and and

24
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: she just wants you to have fun. So that was

25
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: a really good class that they'll they'll really bring like

26
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: a positive energy. Oh yes, they all do. Sure it's

27
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: technique Tuesday, just dancing or you guys learning team bonding?

28
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: What like for our listeners, what is it? What all

29
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: are you guys doing on Tuesdays in the off season.

30
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,559
Speaker 1: I feel like it's kind of all of the above.

31
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: It's definitely team bonding because we're coming together and seeing

32
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: each other. But you know, we learn a little little

33
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: technique here and there and brush up on the skills

34
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: that you know, we need to have ready for auditions.

35
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: And then you also can you know, learn a combo

36
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: and get to actually dance and feel the music and

37
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,839
Speaker 1: do what you love. So at least in my opinion, yeah,

38
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: I agree, it's definitely good time for team bonding because

39
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: it's not necessarily as serious as season gets really serious,

40
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 1: we've got work to do and when it comes to

41
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: off season, we can kind of let go and go

42
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: out on the dance floor and we're not worried about

43
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: what move comes next. You're just kind of living and

44
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: it's something we've all trained in for a long time.

45
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: So to just be able to go have fun and

46
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: relax with our friends is nice. Wing it a little. Yeah.

47
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: I also, like, you know, we've done some hip hop,

48
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 1: we've done some contemporary, so you see, you know, some

49
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: of the girls on the team that you know, they're

50
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: really excelling and contemporary and you don't necessarily know that

51
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: they had this crazy background, and it's cool to see, like,

52
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: you're great at hip hop and we get to see

53
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: that with some of our choreographers, and it really, you know,

54
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: shows you just how diverse the group is. Do you

55
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: have a fun hip hop side that we don't know about?

56
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: You know? That's something yeah? No, no, no, But you

57
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,679
Speaker 1: know I'm trying. I'm trying, you know, in the offseason,

58
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: trying to brush up on those styles that don't necessarily

59
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 1: come as easy to me. So I look up to

60
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: this girl right here, but it really is so much fun.

61
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: The very first Technique Tuesday we had this year because

62
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: we didn't get to see the rookies dance a lot

63
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: of other styles besides DCC stuff during training camp, so

64
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: it's kind of the first time we get to see

65
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: them do just their own thing. And it's so fun

66
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: to watch because you see people thrive. Where do you

67
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: both thrive outside of DCC style? I love a good

68
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: sassy jazz, so that's my favorite. And you know, not

69
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: having palms in my hand and just kind of, you know,

70
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: owning who you are and being confident in yourself, and

71
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: that's kind of my favorite style. I would say I

72
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: love contemporary. Yeah, I didn't even know that. Um Like,

73
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: contemporary jazz is probably one of my favorite things to

74
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: learn feelings. What's so contemporary is that like the long

75
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: that was very well done, exactly like that. I'm just

76
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 1: assuming here not a dance star. How would you describe contemporary?

77
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 1: I feel like it's a mix between lyrical and jazz it.

78
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 1: I think the reason why I like it so much

79
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 1: is it is you are still using the musicality you

80
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: can use in like hip hop or jazz, but you're

81
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: doing a little bit. I don't even know how to

82
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: explain it super well. Yeah, I feel like that's right

83
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: and you're still like emoting and getting to feel the music,

84
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,919
Speaker 1: but there's kind of you know, steps there instead of

85
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: kind of like it's a little yeah feeling it. What Harry,

86
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: what style did you grow up with? What was the

87
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: first one that you did when you were a child.

88
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 1: I think I took tap when I was really young,

89
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: and I wish I continued it, you know, I didn't,

90
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: and I went into jazz and lyrical and contemporary and

91
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: hip hop and whatnot, but tap was the one I

92
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: think I remember in my head this video. I think

93
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: I'm like three or four and wearing this little red

94
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: leotard and tapping, and I think it's a It's a

95
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: really funny video actually because there were four of us

96
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: and one girl didn't show up and that was my partner,

97
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: and I just did the dance as if she was there,

98
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: and it's funny to see it. But yeah, I think

99
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 1: tap was probably my first. Yeah, yep, exactly. My first

100
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: dance classes were probably ballet. My mom on the dance

101
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: studio since before I was born, so I was I

102
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 1: lived at the dance studio. Did your mom dance with

103
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: you now? She she still helps me choreograph my solos um.

104
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: She tells me when things aren't good, and she's like,

105
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 1: you need to Yeah, she's definitely. I'm probably the hardest

106
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 1: on myself, but she is easily the second hardest on me.

107
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: Moms always are though. Yeah, that's good to have honest fadeback. Yes,

108
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: I feel like most mom's a rose colored glasses. You

109
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: did so good, Oh my gosh, well done. Nothing to

110
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: improve all that is not She's the ultimate cheer. Later,

111
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: My mom's the same. She's like so positive, but it's

112
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: it's good because I am hard of myself, and my

113
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: coach in college was also kind of like tough love

114
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: and so, you know, having a good balance of both. Well,

115
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: that's as my mom, she was always very supportive and

116
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 1: kind and whatever. But as my dance teacher, no holding back. Wow,

117
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: so she was your teacher too, Like you went into

118
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: classes of your mom? Yep, I don't think I would

119
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: like that. Didn't you say she kicked you out of

120
00:06:54,440 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: your time? Why? Because I'm sassy? You talk to me

121
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: and my mom are the exact same person. Were very

122
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: strong headed, um, and yeah, probably a little bit of

123
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: talking back. We get home and get the full lecture. No,

124
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: she actually we left at Yeah, and usually I wouldn't

125
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: argue with her because at dance, who was my teacher

126
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: and at home she was mom. I never called her

127
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: mom at the studio, I don't call her misty or

128
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: still fascinated, ma'am. Coach in high school she was coached

129
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: because she ended up being my draft team coach as well.

130
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: Oh my god, so it was like, um, but yeah,

131
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: oh my god, I would hate it. I love my

132
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: mom to death, but I can't imagine. Well, my mom

133
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: also has two left feets, and it answered you, but

134
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: that's where I get all the moves from. Well, hot

135
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: hitting question, and everybody wants to know, will you two

136
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: ladies be re auditioning for a fourth that's crazy and

00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: have a second year on this team. It's been a

140
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: great first year and you know, I couldn't imagine, you know,

141
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: calling it quits right now, and I just want to

142
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: give it my all of one more time and see

143
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,040

144
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: and yes, I will be reouders me hopefully for a

145
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: fourth season. It will be my fifth tryout, Here we go,

146
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: You're a pro. Buckle up everybody, Manny tips tips tips

147
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: for your fifth tryout. Things that I wish I would

148
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 1: have known coming into it my first time was they're

149
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: not looking for a cookie cutter DCC. They are looking

150
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 1: for individuals, people that are unique, people that have different

151
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: things to offer to this team, because not a single

152
00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: one of us is the same on the team right now,

153
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: and that's something that's really important to them, to have

154
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: unique individuals. How do you get out of your head

155
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: from thinking that? Because I'm sure everybody thinks, oh, you

156
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 1: got to be this to be a DCC. I'm I

157
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 1: don't know how you kind of you get out of

158
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,479
Speaker 1: your head. The first year after I got cut, I

159
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: still was kind of like, I don't know, I don't

160
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: know what I need to fix. And then I started

161
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: doing my hair naturally curly, like it was meant to be,

162
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: and I learned how to do makeup the way I

163
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,719
Speaker 1: felt the prettiest, instead of thinking, oh, this is how

164
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: this girl wore her maker, but these are the colors

165
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: she used. We don't have the same skin tone, we

166
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: don't have the same eye shape, we don't have so

167
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:43,719
Speaker 1: I kind of had to find the ways that I

168
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: felt the most confident, and it made a world of

169
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: difference when I came back. And what about you, what

170
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 1: advice would you give to girls coming out of elite

171
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: college programs. I would just say, kind of going off

172
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: of what you're saying, is you know, to be confident

173
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: in what you have to bring to this team, and

174
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: every day of tryouts, if you're invited back, or training camp,

175
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: each day as it goes on, you have to remember

176
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: that you're there for a reason and it's not like

177
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: you kind of just slipped through the cracks. And I

178
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,839
Speaker 1: think that was kind of something I always thought, was like, oh,

179
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know how I made it to

180
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: training camp, Like I think you know that I just

181
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 1: Scott looked over and made it by accident. And then

182
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: you know, you have to remind yourself you're there for

183
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 1: a reason and to stay out of your head and

184
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 1: be confident because they see something in you, and you

185
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 1: know they're rooting for you, even though it's such a

186
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,319
Speaker 1: tough environment. They want you to succeed. So just being

187
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: confident in yourself and what you have to offer, that's

188
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: what I would advise. That statement so true and it's

189
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: so hard to you know, people say, but yourself and

190
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: be confident like those are. It's great advice, but it's

191
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 1: so hard to actually apply them. Easier set than them, Yes, definitely.

192
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: So now is the time I get a little closer.

193
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 1: You know, you've still got how many days? What's I countdown?

194
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: Was sixty yesterday? It's like fifty eight or nine. Now

195
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: we're getting close. If you are planning on auditioning, now's

196
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,719
Speaker 1: the time get in touch with your inner soul and

197
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: work at what you have to bring to the table,

198
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,839
Speaker 1: and be confident and go to prep classes Friday night

199
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: Saturday morning really worthwhile? Who have we got this week? Oh, Shelley, right, Shelley.

200
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 1: And the Saturday morning class is the Field of Dreams class? Yeah,

201
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: did you have a type as? I didn't coming in. No,

202
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: I didn't get to take that one. I didn't get

203
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: to take any prep classes before I auditioned my first

204
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: year and the second year I only got to take

205
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: one before. But now I take them all the time.

206
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,959
Speaker 1: I love them. Um, they're such a great tool. They

207
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 1: give you all the answers, all the answers you could

208
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: possibly have. My first year, I didn't know that you

209
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: wore tights to auditions. I just had tan legs, and

210
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 1: I know the little things that you learn. Yeah, and

211
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: so I think it's like that the girls will ask

212
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 1: questions what kind of tights do we wear? And they

213
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 1: let you know stuff like that, and it's like details

214
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,559
Speaker 1: that you would have no idea unless you come to

215
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: something like that and you know the test and all

216
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: the I think there are so many elements that are

217
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: involved in the auditions that people don't realize. So when

218
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: you go to the you know, the DCC prep classes,

219
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: you really do get that full summary of this and

220
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: I this, know this, and you get time to prepare

221
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: for it. And the Field of Dreams class you learn

222
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: you know, the yard lines and yes, potentially the audition

223
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: kick line. That stuff is irreplaceable. So I mean, if

224
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 1: I could do it all over and I came to

225
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 1: America before missions, I would definitely go to potentially, Because

226
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 1: in a meeting Kelly, we were talking about prep classes

227
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: and she was stressing the importance of DCC prep classes

228
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: compared to even just other local ones, which are all

229
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: great obviously, but this is the only place that you

230
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: can learn actual audition choreography. Yeah, I mean, last year,

231
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 1: I got to come out for two and I got

232
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: to learn the kick line before and coming from California

233
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: where you don't do a kick line ever, and not knowing,

234
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: you know, the technique behind it, I kind of thought

235
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: you just kick you just okay, Yeah, but it's not.

236
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 1: There's a lot of technique that goes into it. So

237
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 1: just learning that kind of gave gave me the confidence

238
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: at least to get on the field at semis and

239
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: then again at finals and know that I've done this before.

240
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: It's in my head. I don't need to, you know,

241
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: stress about what comes next. And yeah, exactly definitely at UCLA,

242
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: were you on the field too or was it just basketball?

243
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: It was both, So we got to do football in

244
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: you know, the fall and then basketball in you know,

245
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: the springtime, and I think, you know, it was great

246
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: to get to do both. But basketball you really got

247
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: to do technical aspects because you have a floor that

248
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 1: you know allows for that, and and that was, you know,

249
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 1: really instrumental in helping me last years. I was brushing

250
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: up on my technique all the time because we were

251
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: using those skills on the basketball court, and so coming

252
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: to DCC, I I wasn't afraid to do these crazy

253
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: chicks because I'd done them, you know, last week and

254
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: at this tournament or whatever it was, and I think

255
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: that was really helpful. But also, you know, having the

256
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: field experience. I've never danced on a football field until UCLA,

257
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: and it's definitely key in making this team is knowing

258
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: how to dance on the football field. So, and had

259
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: you ever been on a field, high school field for

260
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: high school football, Friday night lights football, as much as

261
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: you probably wouldn't think football is as big in Utah

262
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: as it is here in Texas, It's not as big.

263
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: Nothing's as big as Texas football and high school here,

264
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: but we definitely it was a huge community affair to

265
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: go to football games. So I had danced on a

266
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: football field in high school, but then came straight here

267
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: about how big? How big was your high school? They are?

268
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: So we have six A now. Utah just changed from

269
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: five A being the highest you can have to six

270
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: A like two or three years ago. And my high

271
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: school just moved to six A when they made that shift.

272
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: But we I had a big graduating class over a thousand.

273
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: Would you would think it was tiny because we live

274
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: in a teeny tiny town like it's called the Far

275
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: West Utah with two rs. But and it's next to

276
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: Plane City, Utah. Oh my god. So you would think

277
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: they would be teeny tiny, but there's lots of us

278
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: out there. Yeah, I guess I'm learning everything. Yeah, I

279
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: would have you had the bigger high school. Yeah. How

280
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: did you find the adjustment moving from California to here?

281
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: It was definitely an adjustment. But you know what was

282
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: really nice was coming here not knowing anyone. I would say,

283
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: you know, the strangers and the people you meet here,

284
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: you know, in the grocery store, people you know you

285
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: don't necessarily interact with, are so friendly. Kind of compared

286
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: to La. I feel like La, you're kind of just

287
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: on your own, and it's not like they're unfriendly, it's

288
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: just here people kind of go out of their way

289
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: to make sure that you're feeling comfortable, and you know,

290
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: if you have a question, like they are ready to

291
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: answer it and they want to help you in any

292
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: way they can. So, you know, coming from California, that

293
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: was really nice. And you know, just family friends or

294
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 1: friends of friends would reach out and try to make

295
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: sure that I was feeling at home, and I think

296
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: that really helped you know, the transition and moving away

297
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: from what I was used to and my family and everything,

298
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: and you also you rely on the girls around you

299
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: at the same time. I got I live with two

300
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: people on the team and two girls who went through

301
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: training camp with me as Rickie candidates, and that was

302
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: super helpful to have people who understand what you're going

303
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: through and you know, are rooting for you just as

304
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: you're rooting for them, and everyone becomes each other's family.

305
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, because a lot of girls are not from

306
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: here exactly, and that helps. Yeah, and both of my

307
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: roommates they're not from here. We both we all just graduated,

308
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: so it was really nice to kind of, you know,

309
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: all relate and know if you're missing your mom, I

310
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: understand because I'm missing my mom or whatever it is.

311
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: So that was helpful. But you got to go home recently,

312
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: So yes, I got to go home last week, so

313
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: that was really nice. I saw my brothers, I saw

314
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: my team at UCLA and you know, so did you

315
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: take a dance class there? Yeah? I went to their

316
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: technique Tuesday, so they have like kind of the same thing,

317
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,120
Speaker 1: but there's at six am, so it's a little bit,

318
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: you know, a little different me. Yeah, and yeah, they're

319
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: they're great, and it was really fun to see them

320
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: all and they're getting ready for you know, the basketball

321
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: tournaments coming up, and and I saw my old coach

322
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: and she helped me with my solo and it was

323
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: a good little refresher and I went back and you know,

324
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 1: ready for the upcoming season. Preseason. It's kind of crazy.

325
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: It's always the perfect way to fall your cup up. Yeah, definitely.

326
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: So is it everything you thought it would be? It is?

327
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,120
Speaker 1: I think, you know, this whole experience has been so surreal.

328
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 1: There's times where I have to kind of remind myself,

329
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: like this is my life, and this is crazy that

330
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: my dream came true. And I, you know, I think

331
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 1: you do all the preparation you can, but there's nothing

332
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 1: that really prepares you for making the team. And like

333
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: the feeling of wearing that uniform and earning your boots

334
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 1: and all of that, and I guess I didn't really

335
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 1: think it was ever going to happen. I was like,

336
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:58,959
Speaker 1: I'm going to do it everything I can and know

337
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 1: that I did everything I can and why didn't somehow

338
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: it happen? I don't know. I try to take everything

339
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: one day at a time, and you know, if you

340
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: focus so much on the you know, the end goal,

341
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 1: you kind of might overlook the little things going up

342
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 1: to that point. And you know, when I didn't make

343
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: UCLA's team, I think that was maybe one of my

344
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: issues as I was like, I'm going to make this team,

345
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: and I didn't really think of, you know, the little

346
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 1: steps to get there. And now that is what I

347
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: think about, and it's really helped me and you know,

348
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,120
Speaker 1: helps me, you know, motivate myself every single day because

349
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: training camp is a long process and you have to

350
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 1: stay motivated and you know, believe in yourself. While we

351
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: are just scratching the surface, we got to hear all

409
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 1: These boots are made for talking. But off air, we

410
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: were talking about what these lovely ladies do with all

411
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 1: of their costumes after they use them. So if you

412
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,160

Speaker 1: suggestions and to help how to hold onto these cherished memories,

414
00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 1: let us know. Side into our comments, we talked about

415
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: Daphne's lovely trip home to California, and you were in

416
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 1: a far west to Utah, visiting West Utah, visiting fam.

417
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 1: But it wasn't all relaxing. No. I was home for

418
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: seven days, which was so nice because I haven't been

419
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: home that long in a while. But I worked every

420
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 1: single day. I was home except for Sunday. Sunday was

421
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: a good family day, but every other day I taught dance.

422
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 1: I got to teach all three teams at the high school,

423
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 1: the cheer team, the dance team, and my mom's jail team.

424
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,439
Speaker 1: So that was fun. But I was busy. Yeah. She

425
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: was like, hey, do you want to do this? Do

426
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 1: you want to judge a dance competition? Do you want

427
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: to do this? And I hate to say notice stuff

428
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 1: because I love to work and I love to see

429
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 1: because all the dance people in Utah, it's like dance family,

430
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: and so I'm like, yeah, it's a great way to

431
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 1: see everyone. And then it's busy, busy, but I love it.

432
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 1: Are you a huge inspiration? I bet you a foreveryone

433
00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: you go? Okay, I was going to ask that, but

434
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 1: I was to say it different. Are you like a

435
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: little local select? No. I still when I go No.

436
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: When I go back to school, like it's when I

437
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: go back to the high school, I feel like a

438
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 1: super senior because I've been out of high school for

439
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: four years and then I don't know any of the

440
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 1: kids left at the high school. My little sister graduated

441
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 1: last year, so I knew her friends last year, but

442
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,400
Speaker 1: then they're kind of gone now. So the only kids

443
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,679
Speaker 1: I really know are the drill team kids. So I

444
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 1: go back and I see my teachers and like my

445
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: favorite English teacher, um, I has my dancing girl up

446
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 1: on his wall and just funny stuff like that that.

447
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: So people like that are proud of me. But I don't.

448
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,399
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say I have celebrity by any means. I

449
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 1: just I would say, I'm just happy to go home

450
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: and see your family and you have a good Joanny,

451
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,200

454
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 1: weeks ago together when we were talking about the kids. Yes,

459
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 1: interesting though, thank you. It's in international development and global health,

460
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 1: so you know, throughout college, I really fell in love

461
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 1: with public health, as weird as that sounds, and I

462
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: thought I wanted to be a doctor. And I got

463
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: to go on this volunteer trip to Ghana, and there

464
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,400
Speaker 1: I realized that a lot of the issues they were

465
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: having you couldn't fix. The doctors were kind of the

466
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 1: last step in fixing it, and I wanted to be

467
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 1: part of like the first steps, and that's kind of

468
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: public health. And I was like, you know what, this

469
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: is what I'm interested in. So I changed my major

470
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 1: three times and eventually fell in love with this one

471
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: and got to go you know, to Nicaragua twice and

472
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,919
Speaker 1: really put everything I was learning to to use. And

473
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 1: it's really, you know, one of my passions outside of dance,

474
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: and something that I hope, you know, after this DCC

475
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 1: journey that I can you know, revisit and have a

476
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 1: career in that. So then what's the dream job once

477
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,919
Speaker 1: you are done with dance totally? Currently, I would like

478
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: to go to law school and become a lawyer, specifically

479
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: for international human rights. So it's kind of you know,

480
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,880
Speaker 1: casual hopefully. And this is to the kids and they

481
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 1: were all like yeah, jabs on the floor, No, yeah,

482
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: And I mean it changes all the time. Like I said,

483
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 1: I wanted to be a doctor and then that changed

484
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: and here I am. So I'm always open to new possibilities,

485
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: but that's you know, my current goal in life and

486
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 1: hopefully we'll see that through. So why do you want

487
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 1: to become a Dallas Cowboys cheer later? That's a great question. Yeah. Well,

488
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: when you know, at UCLA, I got to be a

489
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: part of the dance team. And when I was I

490
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 1: think it was you know, about January of last year,

491
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 1: I kept having these thoughts in my head like I'm

492
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 1: not done dancing. I feel in my heart like I

493
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:58,919
Speaker 1: want to do this more. And I love cheering and

494
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:02,880
Speaker 1: I love, you know, getting to bring joy and fun

495
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: to you know, the crowd. And I loved it, and

496
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: I kind of kept it a secret and didn't really

497
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: tell anyone, and I finally was like, I need to

498
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: tell someone, and so I told my coach, I told

499
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 1: my mom, and they were completely so supportive, and I think,

500
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: you know, having that support kind of really pushed me.

501
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 1: And I'm like, Okay, I'm going to do it and

502
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 1: kind of just started preparing and you know, going for

503
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 1: it and putting one hundred percent into that. But I've

504
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 1: always looked up to the DCC. I just don't think

505
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: I thought that I could do that or that that

506
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 1: was my future. But you know, I tried to keep

507
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 1: myself open to opportunities and I was like, I'm graduating.

508
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 1: I don't exactly know what I want to do yet,

509
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 1: but this is something I love and if I'm ever

510
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 1: going to do it, now's the time. And here I am. Now.

511
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,120
Speaker 1: It's crazy and every day it is a dream come true.

512
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 1: So it's cool, and it really is. It's like, you know,

513
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: even in your third g I you're probably every single

514
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,360
Speaker 1: I know I did. Every day. I was like, wow,

515
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,439
Speaker 1: I still have to pinch myself that I'm, you know,

516
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 1: wearing those boots. Yeah, it doesn't get all. I know,

517
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 1: it's crazy. Every time he slipped the boots on and

518
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 1: they popped the hill pops on. It's it's a feeling

519
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: that it's like not everyone gets to feel this, and

520
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: we're very fortunate and I'm just glad to be here. Still,

521
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 1: what was your initial raisin for trying out? It was

522
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 1: so my dad raised me Cowboys fan. He's from Lubbock originally,

523
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: and we were watching a Cowboys game my senior year

524
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: of high school and the cheerleaders came by on the

525
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,400
Speaker 1: TV and he said, Maddie, you should go try out,

526
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 1: kind of teasing me. But like being serious because he

527
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:39,400
Speaker 1: knew that I wanted to go into dance professionally. And

528
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: my mom was like, really, that's not a bad idea,

529
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: and she went and looked up auditions and booked my

530
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 1: flight without saying a word to me. And at the

531
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: end of the games, Mo, yeah, the end of the game,

532
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: she walked up to me and she goes, Maddie, we're

533
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 1: going to Dallas in May. And I said, why would

534
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:56,880
Speaker 1: we go to Dallas in May? There's no football games

535
00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 1: in May, Like I would want him here for a

536
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 1: football game. She goes, now, you're auditioning, and what excuse me?

537
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,679
Speaker 1: I'm doing what? And so I was hoping for just

538
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,120
Speaker 1: a really good, positive experience the first time I came

539
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:15,399
Speaker 1: out here. I looked up to girls on the show

540
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 1: before then, and so it just was supposed to be

541
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 1: a really fun, cool experience, and I was supposed to

542
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: learn a lot. And I wasn't going to make it

543
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 1: past the first day, so nothing was really going to

544
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 1: come of it. But it was my first trip to Dallas,

545
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 1: and so I was just excited to be here. And

546
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 1: then I made it past the first day and I

547
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 1: was like, oh, shoot, okay. The second day will be

548
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 1: really fun, and I'll get to it on the field

549
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: and dance. That will be really cool. And then I

550
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: made it past the second day and we had to

551
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 1: call my grandma. She lives in Austin, and she was like, yeah,

552
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: I guess you can come stay with me for the

553
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: week in between tryouts. And yeah, it was a whirlwind

554
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 1: because I was not expecting to make it past the

555
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:57,479
Speaker 1: first day. I remember arrest is history. I remember your

556
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: Jenny weird long jet black straight hair yet black straight hair. Yeah,

557
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: you're sitting in the splits the Kitty Kat and I

558
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 1: for a long time and we were all like, oh

559
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: that pol go, Oh my god, he did so God,

560
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 1: you was so tough. Yeah, you're very love love memories,

561
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 1: good memories strong. I wouldn't change it for the world.

562
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 1: I'm grateful for the way it happened. I've gotten to

563
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 1: thank Kelly and Duty a few times for cutting me

564
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 1: when they did. As much as that sounds like a

565
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 1: crazy thing to think someone for I wouldn't be the

566
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: person I am today if that wouldn't have done that.

567
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 1: So so, then, speaking of memories, what's been your favorite

568
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 1: so far in your first three years? That is like,

569
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: that's a lot of things to choose from. Um, my

570
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: favorite things are always when we get to, like, like

571
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: you said, read across America. You guys were talking about that.

572
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: That's one of my favorite things. This year. M Janelle

573
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 1: actually was setting all of those up, and she set

574
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: me up with a special needs class and that makes

575
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: my heart so happy. And so I got to sit

576
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: and read to the special needs class and they were everything.

577
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 1: It was the best. It was my favorite read across

578
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 1: America day I've got to do. And I've gotten to

579
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 1: go to the same school every year, and so I've

580
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 1: gotten really close at the principle and the teacher that

581
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 1: is in charge of putting it together for the school.

582
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: And they actually this year just opened up their own

583
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: library at the school. They didn't have one until now,

584
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: and so that was like a really cool thing to

585
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: see all the books they've gathered. And it's funny because

586
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 1: I'm nanny two little girls and we read every day.

587
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 1: We always we pick a book and need to sit

588
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: down and read, and it's something we just we do

589
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: consistently and I don't think twice about it. They don't

590
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: think twice about it. And then to be able to

591
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: meet those kids and they didn't even have a library

592
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: until this year, and it's just something that most people

593
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 1: take advantage of. And to see those kids be so

594
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 1: excited to hear us read was so it was such

595
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 1: a treat and I loved it. It feels pretty special

596
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 1: to be able to bring literacy into someone's life, and

597
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: you know that, you know, when a Dallas Cowboy's child

598
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 1: it's reading to you, it's going to be even just

599
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: that much more memorable. So I think that's pretty cool.

600
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 1: You did awesome. You both did. I would have loved it.

601
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 1: So it was your favorite memory of the rookie year,

602
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 1: I mean, there's been so many. I would say my

603
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 1: favorite memory was probably at Christmas time. I think we

604
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 1: were on the same Christmas visit to the children's hospital

605
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: and we were in uniform and we got to visit,

606
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 1: you know, the children who are probably going to be

607
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 1: in the hospital over the holidays, and to get to,

608
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 1: you know, put a smile on their face, and sometimes

609
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:49,239
Speaker 1: they were so small that it was kind of bring

610
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: a smile to their parents face or their families, And

611
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 1: I think that kind of makes all the difference. And

612
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 1: sometimes just having a positive attitude can help whatever you're

613
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 1: going through. And it's kind of a random story, but

614
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 1: my uncle was in love with the Dallas Cowboys and

615
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 1: when he was younger, he was in the hospital for

616
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 1: a heart condition and Troy Aikman and two cheerleaders actually

617
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 1: came by and visited with him. And so it's crazy

618
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 1: to me that we get to do that, and I'm like,

619
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 1: I get to be a part of this thing that

620
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 1: made a huge difference. Yeah, and so it's and he

621
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: remembers that to this day and he was a child,

622
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 1: so you know, for that to make a difference in

623
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 1: his life, it's cool to know. You know, hopefully we're

624
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 1: making a difference in their lives as well. Connection. Yeah, crazy,

625
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 1: I memory, that's amazing. I really, I know, it's crazy

626
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 1: to think about, like just one small instance that, yeah,

627
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 1: you don't think could have as much impact on someone

628
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 1: really does things we just take for granted all the

629
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 1: time when you realize, you know, how extreme the platform

630
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 1: is anyway you go, everyone knows the star and well

631
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 1: you can do with that. I mean, the limit does

632
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 1: not exist and the lem it does not exist. So

633
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 1: Maddie first year as a leader, Yes, did that come

634
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: as a surprise. Yeah, I was not expecting that at all.

635
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 1: I was just excited to be back for another year,

636
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 1: let alone be honored with that. I was zero percent

637
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 1: expecting to be put in that position. But I'm so

638
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: grateful for it, and I've learned so much from it.

639
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 1: So what kind of pressures do you put on yourself

640
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 1: returning for your fourth season knowing that you were a

641
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 1: leader prior to as well? It definitely it adds to

642
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 1: the pressure. I mean, every year you come back as

643
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 1: hoping to be a bet it there's more pressure than

644
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 1: there was ever the first even two times. The first

645
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 1: two times, I had nothing to lose. Now I know

646
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 1: what I have to lose, and so that is a

647
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 1: big way you end up carrying on your shoulders. But

648
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 1: I also think it's a great motivation. Auditions is one

649
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 1: of my ever things of the whole year. That sounds

650
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 1: I sound like a crazy person, I know, but you

651
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 1: see the best come out in everyone and people work

652
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 1: their hardest to come back, and it just it's really

653
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,839
Speaker 1: cool to see everyone at their very best as an

654
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 1: outsider who has no pressure on her whatsoever. I love auditions,

655
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 1: but nothing is on my shoulders. I'm just like, that

656
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:24,880
Speaker 1: was amazing. You're so into day it's literally a but

657
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 1: I'm sorry you guys have all the press, but it is.

658
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 1: It's valuable. Yeah, it makes you better and nobody wants

659
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 1: to stay the same exactly. It keeps you on your

660
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,800
Speaker 1: toes and only brings out the best, and it's what

661
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 1: keeps the team world class. Yeah, how do you feel

662
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 1: about because now you really do know what you have.

663
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:44,839
Speaker 1: I know exactly like you're saying. Going into it last year,

664
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, this is great and I can

665
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 1: only you know, get good things out of this. The

666
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 1: worst that happens is that, you know, I go back

667
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 1: to California and that's okay, and I had all these

668
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 1: great experiences along the way, and now it's like, you

669
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 1: know what there is to lose, and you just you

670
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 1: put that pressure on yourself, but you just have to

671
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 1: use it to motivate yourself and and take those dance

672
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,879
Speaker 1: classes and you know, get your solo up to par

673
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 1: and work on everything that you know you might not

674
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,760
Speaker 1: have done as well as you wanted to during the season.

675
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 1: And at the same time, you have a lot more

676
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:17,840
Speaker 1: experience with the style and things like that. So just

677
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 1: remembering that, you know, there was a reason you're on

678
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 1: the team and bringing that next year. So it's crazy though.

679
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 1: Bringing it back to second year auditions, it's crazy time, Plice, Yeah,

680
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 1: bring it back, You'll be awesome. Totally random question, but

681
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:35,279
Speaker 1: I've seen this person ask it a few times, so

682
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 1: I gotta ask, are you going to some Star Wars things?

683
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 1: Because they asked it? Live too, Star Wars thing in Chicago.

684
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 1: I think it's like a convention. Um No, I wish

685
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 1: do you like Star Wars? I love Stars. I have

686
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 1: a problem. Um I love Mark Waltered. I am a

00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:07,840
Speaker 1: be cool the whole I could just like, yeah, I

725
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 1: was yeah. I mean, the only ones I've really seen

726
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 1: recently are the Spider Man one, so you know, you

727
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 1: see the cartoon one. I heard no, but I heard

728
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 1: that was great, so I need to say it. I

729
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 1: I'm sorry if I have been when my brothers love

730
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 1: it and they love Star Wars and they go to

731
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 1: all the midnight premieres, so I always hear about it,

732
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 1: and I think that kind of I'm like, oh my

733
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:27,320
Speaker 1: brother's like it, I'm not going to do that. So

734
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 1: I just still love that. But I always did it

735
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 1: with boys though, so I was always with my guy

736
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 1: friends when I did that stuff. And the other my dad,

737
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 1: My dad used me Star Wars. So that's why can

738
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 1: you say Star Wars or they're not superheroes? That that

739
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 1: doesn't know, no, just its own thing. But you can

740
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 1: dress like people dress in Star Wars for Comic Con.

741
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 1: Oh yeah for sure. Okay, what's your superhero of choice? Well,

742
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 1: the only superhero movie that I've ever even seen is

743
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 1: Captain America. Yeah, so maybe Captain America since the only

744
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:01,719
Speaker 1: thing I've seen, or because I am wonder Woman, that's

745
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:04,879
Speaker 1: a good money. Yeah, what about you? Janelle didn't answer

746
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 1: my phone call because she I know you recently saw Aquaman?

747
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:12,839
Speaker 1: Oh you did? Did I? Yeah? I called you? Oh yeah,

748
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 1: I did say yes? But and also what was that

749
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 1: Queen Bohemian Rhapsody? But no, that was awesome because that

750
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 1: was really fun. We've gone to the movies a lot lately,

751
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 1: and you know, Kelly took the team to say Bohemian Rhapsody.

752
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, it was so sad that I want nothing

753
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 1: more than to watch Bohemian Rhapsody with Kelly for real. Well,

754
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:41,800
Speaker 1: she to go with her for her I think it

755
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 1: would be her seventh time if she went to say it.

756
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,839
Speaker 1: Did you guys go? Yes? No, I wasn't here when

757
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 1: Kelly took the team to do I got to go.

758
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 1: Yeah it was. It was really fun and you know,

759
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:53,839
Speaker 1: getting to do it with all your friends is awesome too.

760
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 1: But it's crazy last year. Actually, my my solo was

761
00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 1: to Weebil Rocky, So I'm like, oh, I did that,

762

884
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:04,399

885
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:07,320

886
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:09,240
Speaker 1: that was funny and we can love. I probably didn't

887
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:11,360
Speaker 1: help with that in a way, though, I think you

888
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:15,520

Speaker 1: and your hair is pink. It's obvious, and I'm like,

893

913
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 1: I have to go to practice and you know, it's okay.

914
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:45,800
Speaker 1: It all worked out and practice was fine, and we

915
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:48,160
Speaker 1: stressed about exactly I'm like, what am I going to

916
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:50,719
Speaker 1: do about this? But you know, we handled it and

917
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:53,239
Speaker 1: the next day was gone. So yeah, yeah, do you

918
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:57,920
Speaker 1: have a Fay funny memory. Oh? I was trying to

919
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:00,960
Speaker 1: think of one, and they all I was like, oh,

920
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:04,840
Speaker 1: one of my favorite things is when Judy barks, But

921
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 1: I don't think she's done it this season. I don't

922
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:11,439
Speaker 1: know if I yeah, she and it's like a deep

923
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 1: like I've never heard Judy get like that. And it's

924
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:16,120
Speaker 1: my favorite thing when she starts to make jokes and

925
00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:19,279
Speaker 1: she starts to get goofy. That's probably one of my

926
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 1: favorite things right night practices at night and her tummy

927
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 1: Graham grumbling. That does happen. M Daphanie. Someone wants to know, Kristen.

928
00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:35,279
Speaker 1: She wants to know. Do you have advice for someone

929
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:39,000
Speaker 1: who hasn't had extensive dance training who wants to dance

930
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:42,719
Speaker 1: in college? Oh? Interesting? I mean my college had prep

931
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:46,360
Speaker 1: classes kind of like DCC, not as many, but getting

932
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:48,719
Speaker 1: to go to that was really helpful. I'd never used

933
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:51,239
Speaker 1: palms before in my entire life, and you know, they

934
00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 1: teach you that at the prep class, so that was

935
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:56,239
Speaker 1: really helpful to learn. And I would just say, take

936
00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:58,040
Speaker 1: as many dance classes as you can, and also just

937
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:00,160
Speaker 1: reach out to maybe the people who are on the

938
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:03,360
Speaker 1: college team and you'd be surprised. It's a little intimidating

939
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 1: to talk to veterans or whatever it is, but most

940
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:09,000
Speaker 1: people want to help that. Most people want you to succeed.

941
00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:11,680
Speaker 1: And that was helpful for me. I reached out to

942
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:13,400
Speaker 1: girls on the team that I didn't even know, and

943
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:16,239
Speaker 1: they would meet with me and help me out and

944
00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:18,680
Speaker 1: give me critiques, and it helped me make the team.

945
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 1: So you know, putting yourself out there sometimes is worth it. Also,

946
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:27,359
Speaker 1: U c l a Spirit squad commented, yea, we love you, DAF.

947
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:33,920
Speaker 1: I love you guys. So kind of a question we

948
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 1: answered earlier day. We're talking about Mattie, how you're well

949
00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:41,000

Speaker 1: a closet country line dancer? Wow, that's so funny. I actually,

953
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:53,680
Speaker 1: until I moved to Texas, I had a really hard

954
00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:56,520
Speaker 1: time listening to country, and then I fell in love

955
00:50:56,560 --> 00:51:00,120
Speaker 1: with it, and now that's mostly what I listened to,

956
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:02,920
Speaker 1: like in the car, unless I'm listening to stuff to

957

Speaker 1: of the girls last year and went to red River

961
00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:23,360
Speaker 1: and went to stepping and so fun. But I always

Speaker 1: I um chose down syndrome for my best friend Matt

989
00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:02,560
Speaker 1: from back home. I chose him last year as well,

990
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:05,239
Speaker 1: and then this year kind of from a different side

991
00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:08,000
Speaker 1: of things, he passed away this um, well it's been

992
00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:11,160
Speaker 1: over a year now, um, but it was it was

993
00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:12,880
Speaker 1: cool to be able to do it from both sides.

994
00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:16,279
Speaker 1: But then you got to have a really cool experience

995
00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:19,480
Speaker 1: coming from my couse, my boots. That was a couple

996
00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:23,839
Speaker 1: months ago, yes, January. I was very lucky to get

997
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:28,560
Speaker 1: invited to the National Down Syndrome Society gala and they

998
00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:33,120
Speaker 1: had in New York City. But it was it was

999
00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:35,080
Speaker 1: my first time to New York and so I was

1000
00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:38,200
Speaker 1: so excited to get to go and they were so

1001
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:41,400
Speaker 1: welcoming and so kind and they did a silent auction

1002
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:44,680
Speaker 1: and then they did They also had the greatest auctioneer.

1003
00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:50,719
Speaker 1: He was so funny, but they had some kids that

1004
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:55,840
Speaker 1: are really involved in the organization that hop Down Syndrome.

1005
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:58,120
Speaker 1: They got to perform and they had a few of

1006
00:53:58,160 --> 00:54:02,799
Speaker 1: them speak and it was just incredible to see all

1007
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:04,839
Speaker 1: of that. And they're just as capable as we are.

1008
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:08,920
Speaker 1: And right now, there is this thing called the law

1009
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:13,480
Speaker 1: syndrome where people at Down syndrome are not allowed to

1010
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:17,359
Speaker 1: work full time jobs even though they're capable most of them.

1011
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:22,839
Speaker 1: There are obviously differently abled people with Down syndrome because

1012
00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:25,360
Speaker 1: there's health issues or my friend Matt he was in

1013
00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:28,800
Speaker 1: a wheelchair. He couldn't work a full time job because

1014
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:32,080
Speaker 1: of health. But there are plenty of other people that

1015
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:34,759
Speaker 1: are very capable of working full time jobs and are

1016
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:37,000
Speaker 1: not allowed to because of the law. And it's very

1017
00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:41,880
Speaker 1: unfortunate because they're awesome people making the community better and

1018
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:44,759
Speaker 1: they aren't allowed to do it full time. So that

1019
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:48,160
Speaker 1: was something also that I was excited to get involved with.

1020
00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:51,920
Speaker 1: And so it's been fun and I've made some really

1021
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:54,960
Speaker 1: cool friends through that and I'm grateful for that. So

1022
00:54:55,120 --> 00:55:00,440
Speaker 1: Mattie's boots, Mattie's boots were up for auction and sold,

1023
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:03,680

1026
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:12,800
Speaker 1: is a breastcancer survivor. So it was for breastcancer awareness.

1027
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:15,239

1037
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:48,279
Speaker 1: you left with a great closing questions. So do you

1038
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 1: want to hit these two lovely ladies with a nice

1039
00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:54,759
Speaker 1: closing question? Oh, why don't you share with us? Who

1040
00:55:55,080 --> 00:55:58,799
Speaker 1: is who will? What is your biggest inspiration? And why

1041
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:02,880
Speaker 1: it's funny? This is the question I asked the girls.

1042
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:05,080
Speaker 1: My mom had girl Team auditions this week and I

1043
00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:07,160
Speaker 1: got to judge, and that was the question I asked

1044
00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:08,719
Speaker 1: the girls, and then my mom came up to me

1045
00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:10,200
Speaker 1: and said, Mattie, what would you say? And I said,

1046
00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:17,040
Speaker 1: I'm not telling you because it is my mom. As

1047
00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:19,839
Speaker 1: much as I said, she's tough and she doesn't hold

1048
00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:25,080
Speaker 1: back her opinion. She definitely sticks it to me. She's

1049
00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:27,279
Speaker 1: the one that pushes me. She always does everything one

1050
00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:31,800
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty percent, and she's kind and generous and

1051
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:35,279
Speaker 1: so thoughtful, and so she's definitely the person I look

1052
00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:37,799
Speaker 1: up to. Yeah, I mean I would have to say

1053
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:39,960
Speaker 1: the same thing. My mom is honestly my best friend,

1054
00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:43,680
Speaker 1: and she's been nothing but supportive in all aspects of

1055
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:46,680
Speaker 1: my life. And you know, she's gone through so much

1056
00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:49,080
Speaker 1: and you know, come out on the other side and

1057
00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:51,040
Speaker 1: to see, you know, the fight that she gave it

1058
00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:53,799
Speaker 1: just inspiring and it makes you want to give your

1059
00:56:53,840 --> 00:56:56,440
Speaker 1: all and everything that you do, and also makes you

1060
00:56:56,719 --> 00:56:59,640
Speaker 1: really appreciate health in your family and you know, the

1061
00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:02,600
Speaker 1: little things that kind of you forget about. And yeah,

1062
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:05,960
Speaker 1: she's the same thing pushes me and is so supportive

1063
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:09,480
