I have seen the dancegirls at A&M several times this year and I must say that they have improved... but is it true that all of thier dances come from Southern...????
 



I don't know about all of that, because they have that very nice Alabama sista look... :-) (similar to the MS sista look) :-) Yet, they have taken on a Dancing Doll image. The uniform and the style of dance. I think it is a good move for them. If they are bring in some talented dancers, they will only get better and better. So, the competition between bands will get better and better. Great!!!

PEACE!!!
 
I would rather them be compared to the Dolls than alot of other dance squads... I would agree the uniforms are similiar, but dance style isnt exactly the same... I would say it is a mix of the Dolls style and J cettes style... You are going to see some balet, back flips, etc, but you are also going to see some straight DANCING.
 
Interesting topic, so I must respond. To all those who are unfamiliar with the politics and administration involved in auxiliary coordination, especially in terms of uniform selection, let me educate you:

1) In designing and creating uniforms, the initial drafts of designs are submitted to our auxilliary coordinator who then chooses the designs of her liking, so when 20 uniforms are submitted and three are chosen, the uniform selection is beyond the control of the dance team itself.

2) Uniforms that I design are created to enhance features and curves while highlighting body defintion (arms, abs, leg shape, back, etc). Basic pattern design encourages designers to use techniques that flatter the models features.

3) The actual producer of the uniform (seamstresses) give feedback on how the uniform will look and perform on the field. With that, she gives suggestions to pattern -cut changes, what colors look best, what types of rhinestones and seqins to use, and where to place them. Typically, because good seamstresses are trained using the same sewing techniques, uniforms have simlilarity.

As far as dancing is concerned, many of us have been trained in all genres of dance (ballet, hip-hop, jazz, tap, etc) so we incorporate all styles of dance in our routines, including the infamous hip rolls and booty pops. The ladies in the crowd like the technical aspects while the guys go wild over the 'giration'!We just give the crowd what they want, which is the reason why we do what we do...simply entertain.

Just as long as they're fine. Kudos to my Sisters(Dolls), and the Divas.

What you say that for?! Say what the world wants to hear and see!

You Bama women are foine as hell. All you got to do to prove yourselves to not be a copy is send every dude on this page a naked pic with a full page essay (double-spaced and grammatically correct) as to why you are the foinest and most original squad out there. And you can include a tub of beer and a "personal" dance if you want to because that will surely get you voted to the top of the "foine & original" list.:D Chi-tone was probably being nice to be nice. We would like to get to the root of the matter and see you dance without the necessary clothes....or at least without the ones that hid more than what we came to see. :D Sincerely loveing you,








Superman.:D

I think that should answer any OTHER questions that maybe floating around out there!

As someone posted before..."the Divas are doin' the dayum thang in'03...and it'll only get better!
 
I got nothing but love for the Divas. To me, they are awesome this year. My vote for the top two squads are the J-Settes and the Divas!

You just don't understand............my respect level for MMW went up since ya'll got rid of them!!! :lmao:

Not smacking........I just never cared for auxillary and dem heffas took up half of the field!! :smh:
 
You could not have said it better yvette. That was the best move the MMW has ever made. With the majorettes, the featured majorettes, flag girls, Maroonettes, and then the addition of the Dancin Divas, there was way too much going on.

They got maroonettes my freshman year ( don't ask when.) the first year they were okay.After that they just marched around directing traffic for the next 18 years . I hated them. You would go crosseyed trying to watch all the girls on the field. I do kinda wish he would bring the majorettes back , i'm sick of those guys:(

you so crazy.....:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:


I remember when a&m would come to Skegee. It would take 10 minutes for all the auxillaries to march down the hill and into the stadium. After a while, we would see the band.
 
The Divas did look similar to the Dolls but when you think about it...I believe every dance squad has at least 2-3 dances that are the same.

But I like the "new" Diva look. They look good.

AAMU band looked like a circus with all those girls walking around the field during nothing.
 
I think the Dancing Divas are copy cats of the Dancing Dolls? Do the Dancing Divas dance with the parasols?
