Random dances I want to see that likely won't happen:
(Warning: I find sister duets adorable
Gracyn French (Project 21) and Kensington Dressing (Evolve): Lyrical Duet
Ellary Day Szyndlar (Club) and Lilly Anderson (Larkin): A sad musical theatre song, with a lot of technical elements.
Lilly and Hallee Anderson (both Larkin): Contemporary Duet
Belle Arauz (Dance Town) and Cami Giraldo (Stars): Lyrical Duet
Tegan Chou (WDP) and Esme Chou (Project 21): Jazz Duet
Savannah and Scarlett Manzel (both Larkin): Musical Theatre/ Jazz Duet
Cami Vorhees (Evolve), Gracyn French (Project 21), and Sophie Garcia (Stars): Some sort of jazz/ fast moving trio (trying to escape Victor's beep boop "music")
Mariandrea Villegas (Epic Motion) and Kendyl Fay (Project 21): hard hitting jazz duet
Izzy Howard (WDP), Kennedy Kahler (Elite Classical) and Crystal Huang (The Rock): Musical Theatre Trio (I wish they competed "Get happy" more than once *sob*)
Crystal Huang (The Rock) and Izzy Howard (WDP): Ballet Duet - HOW DID THEY NOT HAVE A DUET TOGETHER AAARGH
Shannon Mather (Mather) and Molly Long (Project 21): Musical Theatre to "I can do anything better than you" (Choreography by Jazelle Torres and Nicole Smith, to make it fair)
All TDA Winners this year should have self choreographed duets with one another
A Shannon Mather Group dance at Project 21 (while Molly is on vacation?). Honestly, I could see the teens and seniors KILL IT. Dancers could be: Maya, Rylee, Anya, Gracyn, Stella, Couch Sisters, Kendyl, Sammi...
A Contemporay small group with Ellary Day Szyndlar (Club), Lilly Anderson (Larkin), Kensington Dressing (Evolve), Belle Marie Arauz (Dance Town), Ruby Taylor (CSPAS), Stella Brinkerhoff (CSPAS) and Lucia Piedrahita
Elliana Walmsley making a comeback as a senior into the competition world and winning everything
