This thread can get deleted if it needs to, just wanted to explain since asked.
Perfect example on 1st count.
Look at how Danni extends her arm and keeps her focus all the way to her finger tips.
That's what I mean by nuances.
It completes the move, enhances the count, and gives the dramatics.
The only person I saw that did it, and hung with Danni this entire performance was Gabby, which this performance was when I saw "captain" in her.
Completing every move and delivering the right dramatics for the mood.Nuances to me is about being detailed, filling the gaps, throwing the right counts and delivering the right dramatics. It's filling and what makes performances great. Example.

This is just a “Gabby shoulda been captain again” thread. She’s on the first row by Taneria.
No this honestly isnt that
Just wanted to give an example of what nuances ment to me since the person asking seemed to think I meant something weird by it.
I always try to give as many examples as possible.

Aiight-I am late AF to the convo but I have to agree with all the fonts when it comes down to people not liking Micah because of looks. Allure, mystique and all the like adjectives link back to aesthetic.
Fonts will argue you up and down that such isn’t the reason, but often times humans have unconscious views when it comes to aesthetic but it manifests in different ways we as humans may not be aware of. Micah has more African features than captains of the past, including Gabby. The European standard of beauty has done a number on people of AFRICAN decent and has been ingrained in our psyche. The only captain I can think of that matches Micah’s aesthetic is D’Tara. I wonder if the conversation about her “not having the allure, mystique or Doll look” clouded her reign.
if that was Jada, Mel, Kaylon or even Taneria, the smoke wouldn’t be as thick.
So how do you guys feel when captains do catch-ons differently from the rest of the team? An extreme example would be DT, who looked vastly different from her team at times. Another example would be how KP didn't tilt her head back on the count where they throw their arm out( which I noticed she hadn't since her crab year) or how she adds an extra head turn on the end of Linkford's count.
Y’all killing me with this whole dark skin is not in and too many African features that’s why we are not fully drawn to Micah and trying to break down the “white man” history of why we don’t like something when in all it’s probably what y’all problem are. I don’t understand why y’all just can’t understand that looks have nothing to do with it. We all talked about every Doll captain or member, light skinned/dark skinned, thick or skinny if they were not giving us what we feel. You can go down almost every captain and different members and people still made their comments...too boring..too wild, too stiff, keep forgetting everything and etc. Please stop making this about Micah looks and understand it what we (I) say it is. I don’t put my business out but I’ve been apart of a dance team and made captain as a dark skin girl so that is the last thing I’m thinking about. Micah is getting better with her timing and choice of counts and how they are being thrown and once she gets in her momentum she will be fine.
This thread is a distraction! A TxSu vs SU thread is coming soon!
Y'all and these comments are problematic AF.
I can show posts where I've mentioned how beautiful Micah is, posts where I've said I wouldn't mind her upfront, posts where I've hyped Micah up.

It's very insulting to me personally, Micah, her fans on here, people that may know her etc. to sit here and say we are commenting on her performance because of her looks.
Yall are revealing more your thought processes then anyone else's.
If this is the narrative you want to follow then boo let me remember your name and font because we never have to comment to eachother again, you or anyone else that believes this foolishness smh.
