“I had four very specific kinds of girls in mind. That makes casting hard,” Ms. Sherman-Palladino said of casting. “Boo had to be very specific, Sasha had to be specific. On pointe. That knocks out 50 or 60 percent of the people. When you go through the network process usually they like to bring in three or four choices to choose from. … These four girls were the four girls.”
FYI: Sutton wore a Philip Armstrong dress with Blue Candy jewelry; Bailey dolled up in a Nha Khnah skirt and top with Rebecca Minkoff shoes and Emma wore a Contrarian dress with Shoemint shoes.
In the winter premiere “Channing Tatum is a Fine Actor,” it’s been several months since the Nutcracker fiasco, where Michelle (Foster) accidentally maced the young performers of Paradise Dance Academy. Now she’s crashing on her friend’s couch and working as a dancer for a small-time magician in Henderson, NV.
Meanwhile in Paradise, the dance studio is closed down, leaving the students to keep busy on their own. Ginny (Bailey Buntain) has taken over her mother’s real estate business; Melanie (Emma Dumont) has been caring for her grandpa, and Boo (Kaitlyn Jenkins) is pulling her hair out taking care of her little brother while her pregnant mother is on bed rest. After a summer at Joffrey, Sasha (Telles) returns but refuses to head back home, instead hiding out with friends.
