How to apply the cast of Netflix's 'Dancing Queen' — together with Marcella and Gabe — on Instagram.
If you are skimming thru Netflix, looking for the subsequent series to binge-watch, and are available throughout Dancing Queen — do yourself a prefer and click play. No, the Netflix truth series has nothing to do with Abba's pop hit. Instead, it is a Dance Moms and RuPaul's Drag Race mashup we didn't know we wanted. Starring on the display is Justin Johnson, better known as Alyssa Edwards.
Over the course of 8 episodes, audience practice along as Justin spends his days at his Beyond Belief Dance Studio, preparing for (and dominating) dance competitions, and his nights totally transformed as Alyssa Edwards, drag queen extraordinaire. Along the method, you be informed more about Justin's formative years in Mesquite, Texas, and are presented to a cast of dance instructors, the subsequent era of So You Think You Can Dance contestants, and level mothers that are beyond aggressive.
Honestly, we love Alyssa Edwards, but those kids (Gabe and Willow, we are looking at you) and dance moms are the highest part of the display. And simply in case you were wondering, we are Team Marcella. Keep scrolling to meet the cast of Dancing Queen — and apply them on Instagram ASAP.
Marcella Raneri
To say the mini dance mothers weren't keen on Marcella could be an understatement. After Justin and his assistant director determined their youngest dancers weren't ready to travel to LA to compete, the moms decided to unfairly place the blame on Marcella. And enthusiasts briefly got here to her protection on social media. "Marcella's beautiful. I think half the reason those hags went so hard for her was pure jealousy," one viewer wrote earlier than every other added, "The worst part was honestly the mothers with the Marcella situation. So nasty of them to get rid of her like that. Marcella’s and Alyssa’s call to not allow the minis to LA was the right one, but I guess dance moms gotta drama." #JusticeforMarcella

Dawn
As the manager of Beyond Belief Dance Company, Dawn is Justin's right-hand girl at the studio and past. Justin appreciates Dawn's enter such a lot, she was once the one he became to when it came time to purchase his first home in Texas. Unfortunately for Dancing Queen lovers, Dawn's Instagram web page is personal.

Celeste Robbins
Celeste's commitment to BBDC is so severe, she flies from Boston, where she is going to university, to the Texas-based studio to choreograph dances with Justin each weekend. However, one in every of her classmates claimed on reddit that Celeste lied about her time table. "I go to school with her in Boston. She missed a whole semester to go film and they just gave her passing grades for her classes," @DmKola wrote. "A lot of us were a bit bothered." Whatever the case, we admire Celeste's ambition.

Kelly and Ainsley Epton, 7
As the leader of the dance mothers, Kelly Epton led the riot towards Marcella — and taken the drama to each and every practice session and dance festival. Her daughter Ainsley seems to have inherited her mother's spunk and we can see why she is certainly one of Justin's favorites.

Willow Dubose, 17
Clearly the star of Beyond Belief, Willow has been working with Justin since the age of three, and whilst she has formally aged out of the studio, she achieved her purpose and is finding out dance at the Boston Conservatory.

Gabe Flowers, 17
Gabe was also in his final year at Beyond Belief Dance Company all over the filming of Dancing Queen — but he made it very transparent he plans to bounce professionally upon graduation. "Beyond Belief has molded me into the person I am today," Gabe mentioned on the display. "When I become a professional dancer, I hope I make them all proud."

Riley Canterbury, 15
Riley went from a blonde to a redhead on the Netflix sequence — and gained trophy after trophy in any respect the dance competitions. It's no surprise she is a favourite of Justin's and audience. "Riley is the Maddie Ziegler of Dancing Queen," one fan tweeted. Another added, "So here’s my feelings on @alyssaedwards_1's Dancing Queen. First and foremost, thank you for giving us a look into your private life. You are an inspiration. I respect you so much more. Second, I stan Riley’s red hair, and J.J. needs more screen time next season." Same.

J.J. Garza
We couldn't get sufficient of J.J. during his ice cream performance — and it is no surprise that Justin sees himself in the mini dancer. "J.J.'s got it all," Justin said on the show. "Oh, I can not wait to see what his future holds for him. Although I see my mini me, Justin Johnson, in a million years, could have never been that at 9 years old. I was too afraid to be that. My father suppressed what I wanted to be."

Anjie and Leigha Sanderson, 10
Anjie Sanderson is mother to 2 Beyond Belief dancers, Kiana and Leigha — who suffers from spina bifida. More lately, Leigha underwent another surgical treatment and her mother shared an update with lovers on social media. "Thank you to everyone who prayed or was thinking of Leigha yesterday. She is in her room and the surgery went well," Anjie wrote.

Kiana Sanderson, 16
Kiana struggled with choreography during most of the season — but got here back at the end to take home a second place prize at the final festival of the year. SPOILER ALERT: Unfortunately, we're going to have to attend until Season 2 of Dancing Queen to determine if Kiana makes Justin's elite corporate.

Makenna Wallace, 15
Also competing for the ultimate spot in Justin's elite corporate is Makenna — and he or she's up against Kiana. We would not wish to be in Justin's shoes, particularly after getting to understand Makenna's protecting mom.

Brooke Ricketts, 14
Brooke used to be the sufferer of an unlucky tune error at one in every of her dance competitions — leading to her shedding five points and no longer placing. However, Dancing Queen viewers are still fans of the petite blonde. "I keep crying at Dancing Queen!!! When Brooke did her front aerial without touching the floor? Wept," one fan said of her efficiency. Another added, "Brooke is truly the Dancing Queen."

Josie Jacks, 15
Josie unfolded about how dance helps her amid her battle with Bipolar II Disorder. And while she didn't make the touring corporate this season, she is all the time there to strengthen her little sister, Sophie.

Robbie and Neil
Designers Neil Marek and Robbie Richard have worked with Alyssa Edwards for years — and had their marriage ceremony officiated by way of the drag queen on the first actual episode. Or as Alyssa described it, "I never thought that I would be in full drag, holding a holy rhinestone Bible, marrying two men. And what a wonderful world we live in where now we have that opportunity." Amen.
