    I think people are afraid of her because they don't understand her. As a former dancer of hers (very recently became a former dancer) she isnt a sadist or anything like that. She expects 150% from everyone all the time. No excuses. No favortism. She cuts any and everyone. Rep and YCDT are not just teenagers but adults. The light skin woman with the long lashes is a middles school teacher and has been for 6 years. The oldest one in the company/rep is 34. She teaches more than just dance. I appreciated that.

    Coach Dianna and Traci are similar other than both being Black women. They're around the same age, both are married with supportive spouses. And the biggest similarity is that both coaches care and want the best for their teams. Both women push their teams to work hard, strive, reach their potential and dreams in order to succeed in life. I discovered that I like Traci and her work ethic and determination. I will be watching Step It Up and wish her and her team much success. Congratulations to Traci and YCDT on their new dance studio.

      +Tylina M That's her sister, Sunshine. Traci's mom adopted her 13 years ago. Unfortunately, their mom passed away last year, so Sunshine's been living with Traci and her husband ever since. She doesn't have any kids of her own yet, but with the way she's been caring for her sister, she'll be a great mom when the time comes. ❤❤❤❤

    Yeah although I love the dolls I have to admit unlike Diana who just takes them to battles every weekend, Traci isn't only a majorette/hip hop dancer like Diana. And the most important thing is traci has her kids performing for agencies, at fashion shows, music videos, festivals, etc. so they've been in exposed to more things and are over all more well rounded dancers. Sorry I love you coach d!
    The only thing i didnt like was how traci disciplined a teacher in front of the whole class, and telling someone its a "privilege to be in my presence" is a little over the board and rude.

    Only a few minutes into the show and I see nothing but attitude from the dance instructor. Yes it's true everyone who is serious about the desires they want to accomplish, be assertive. She is too rough around the edges. The first girl was already nervous to meet Traci in person. So when it was time to perform, she lost her confidence. Traci throwing insults at these people turns my stomach. She isn't getting rich by herself. She really should be grateful these people are seeking her approval. Traci is a drill sergeant fit for the military.
