Created in the likeness of Dianna Williams, choreographer and coach of the Dancing Dolls troupe on the Lifetime reality show, Bring It!, this 16-inch all-vinyl doll is currently deeply discounted at the DD4L Warehouse (see the link at the end of this post).
It took about ten days for the doll to arrive after the online order was placed. I was actually out and about when I received two email notifications that 1) the doll was out for delivery and 2) the doll had been delivered. Wanting to make sure no one removed my doll from the porch where the postman may or may not conceal packages, I asked my husband to stop by the house before we completed our outing so I could "get my doll!"

| If the eyes appear off, that's because they were in this picture. The right eye was higher than the left. |
After opening the shipping box, I immediately noticed that the doll's right eye was higher than the left as a result of the way it was incorrectly painted in the factory. This was an easy fix, which I will describe after sharing the doll's attributes and the rest of the in-the-box photos.
Coach D is still attached to the box liner in this photo.
Attached to the box with plastic-covered metal ties at the ankles and arms, it was very easy to remove the doll from the box. The loose ends of the hair were underneath a thin strip of plastic that was not stitched to the hair, thankfully.
Her below waist-length, rooted black hair has auburn highlights with one spiral curl on one side in front.

| Coach D's fingernails and toenails are nicely painted. |
The fashion consists of a zippered varsity-style jacket with two front faux pockets. Under the jacket is a black shimmery knit tank top.
She wears black leggings, black-striped white leg warmers, and lace-up booties that have working inside zippers.
Faux diamond studs complete her fashionable look.
Articulation
Coach D's articulation includes the usual five points (head, arm sockets, leg sockets). Additional articulation includes the elbows, wrists, and knees. The head rotates, but there is not much up and down movement. The elbows and wrists are fully rotational.
 |
| Knee joints |
The knees are neatly jointed but there is not very much movement there at all. Initially, I thought the tight leggings might be impeding movement, but the movement is just not there, unfortunately.

Posing For Fun

There are two images of Coach D on the back of the box along with her DD4L (Dancing Dolls for Life) facts or what it takes to become a successful Dancing Doll.
