I made prediction lists for Press Play too but never got around to sharing them. Looking back, I was around 7.5–8/10 on most of my predictions, so I figured I’d go ahead and post my early thoughts for TDA Orlando.

A few disclaimers:

• These are just for fun based on results, consistency, and what I’ve seen this season.

• They will almost certainly change once I catch up on solos from Nationals.

• This year is ridiculously deep in every division.

Mini: I feel like there’s a really strong top four. After that, I think a lot comes down to who delivers this week, so I split the rest into tiers rather than exact placements.

🏆 Podium

Junior: Absolute bloodbath. 😭 I honestly think this division is stacked from top to bottom, and there are so many dancers I could see moving around depending on how Best Dancer week goes. I’ll probably update this after I watch more solos.
