How far would Lucas Triana make it?


What if Lucas Triana was part of Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition?

So, instead of 11 dancers for this season, there would be 12 dancers. How far can Lucas go? Would Lucas have been able to beat Travis and Tyler? What about the other dancers?


Heck, we can do it for Season 1 as well. How far would Lucas have made it last year?

Bump.

Lucas would've made around 4th or 5th last season, IMO.
This year, probably the same.
He is a much better dancer than the twins, again IMO.

reply

He is a talented kid. But he would not have made it far at all. Probably one of the first to be eliminated.

(Season 1) Zach was eliminated for failing to perform well in hip hop. Lucas is a technical dancer as far as I know and wouldve had the same problem. Also, he isnt big on turns.

(Season 2) Lucas is tiny. He would have been expected to lift girls who are much bigger than he is, since a majority of them were the maximum age to be in the competition and quite tall. He would've been gone instantly.

i think Nick from candy apples would have done very well unless he is over the age limit,but he is tall and does a very lyrical ballet style of dance

reply

You're probably right gymgirl. I don't think I thought hard enough before answering. One thing I'm sticking with is that he's better than the twins.

reply

So for this season, Lucas would have been eliminated because he would have been too weak? Are Travis and Tyler physically stronger than Lucas?

reply

Probably yes.

reply

Wow. That would have been messed up.

Imagine seeing the show and Abby saying "You need to get stronger and get more muscle. Lucas, today is not your day.".

How would you react if Lucas was eliminated based on being too "weak" even though he is 11 years old and therefore wouldn't be "strong" yet?

reply

Well it was a criticism that Travis and Tyler got a few times, or that they were "awkward" in partner dances because they were so much smaller than their female partner. It wouldn't really make much of a difference if it was Lucas or another little boy.

In this competition, Lucas might do ok, but he wouldn't win. He is certainly flexible and he does well with facial expressions, but he doesn't turn very well, I don't think he can do an aerial, he is awkward with partner work, and he doesn't do hip hop.He is more likely to be eliminated for a flimsy hip hop routine or falling out of turns than he is for being too weak, but it's not unheard of for that to happen either.

I think Lucas's mother is a bit of a gymmy so maybe he has taken on a bit of that body conditioning, too. Maybe those sinewy little arms are stronger than we might think lol

reply

I think you might be right.

Take a look at Lucas's latest Instagram picture.

His arms don't look skinny. They seem to have some meat on them.

What do you think?

reply

You know, after watching this routine filmed a couple of weeks ago, he really does just screw about onstage compared to the other boys.

I still think he's adorbs though!

reply

What do you mean?

He did as much as the other boys did.

He pretty much also mirrored the other little boy, Gavin.


It was an amazing dance too.

reply

The others all did aerials and/or turns, he didn't.

reply

Not really. He only did one turn, he didn't do any acro, he didn't leap. The other boys all did their own little thing. He mostly just helped lift the girl.

Lucas has great flexibility and stage presence, but not a whole lot else.

I really liked that dance though.
