2025 Female Best Dancers

[dancelover26]

Tried posting this a few hours ago but I don’t think it worked but here are my dance off predictions

General dance off: at least 5 front aerials in mini female, someone jumps off stage in every male category, guys lift each other, twerking in all teen & senior categories, TikTok trend gets used, stars T3 in every category, some stars kid does a turn into penche

Live stream: 20 minutes late, cuts out during fan favorite

Songs: Vegas repeat, lame middle school dance ah senior male up tempo song, benson Boone (ft. More people twerking in a TF shirt), teen male song eats, lame senior male lyrical, Celine dion or Whitney Houston, some acoustic version of a rock song

I also have predictions for what specific people will do but didn’t post because I don’t wanna call out names but lmk if I want it

Things that just seem right (TDA edition)

Stars winning 5 BD titles in one year at one location

Stars having 4/4 Male BD titles at TDA Orlando

Regan being one of the first female bds, if not the first, to win with an uptempo jazz solo (i mean, she is that girl)

Regan going from not placing at all the previous year to winning BD

Ellary Day and Sylvie Win being the first set of siblings to win the same BD title a year apart - allowing Ellary Day to hand her title down to her younger sister

Sylvie Win being the first ever 8 year old to win Mini Female Best Dancer

Helena and Sylvie Win winning first in finals and ending her season with a clean sweep

three 9 year olds being the top three at TDA Las Vegas

Larkin keeping up with their Mini BD streak - even if not as expected

Ruby Castro choreographing/performing 5 BD winning solos within the last 5 years

Dance Town sending like 7 dancers and coming home with 2 new BDs

Izzy Howard finally ending her streak as a runner-up and winning Senior Female BD, then going off to NYCDA and winning National OD there as well

The amount of "underdogs" winning and proving everyone wrong

The amount of lifts in the Senior Male improvs

one thing I have loved about this years TDA is the mix of styles in the Best Performance Nominees! It’s not all contempary!!!

Hey! If anyone’s able to help, I’d much appreciate it!!

Okay, I have this memory of watching a solo to Bjork’s Hyperballad (maybe by Dyllan Blackburn and choreographed by Easton Blake Payne), but I cannot find it anywhere!!! I think she couldn’t have been older than teen, and the style was contemporary. I’m pretty sure the costume was just a blue leotard. The only part of the dance that I recall is when the chorus comes, the dancer starts rocking forwards and backwards, from slow to fast.

Let me know if I’m crazy or if you have any recollection :)

I have this horrible stupid unlikely theory that during the teen large group announcements Larkin’s sign here actually was 1st runner up but he read them as first and mister cellophane was actually 1st but they couldn’t go back on it live so they just let it happen
