Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making the Team

Hundreds of excited and anxious Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders hopefuls arrive at Texas Stadium for the preliminary auditions. After performing their freestyle dance routines for the judges, only half make it to the semi-finals.

In the final audition, the competition really heats up. Now, surviving candidates must go head-to-head against experienced veteran cheerleaders for a coveted spot in the DCC Training Camp.

Making it this far is one thing - enduring Training Camp is another. The hopeful group of 43 is far from the final squad, and DCC Director Kelli Finglass quickly reminds them that there will be cuts.

Only two weeks into training camp, it's time to start making cuts. While “veteran” cheerleaders model bikinis for their upcoming calendar shoot, anxious training camp “rookies” dance their hearts out to prove to Kelli and Judy that they deserve to stay.

After saying goodbye to one of their own, reality sets in for the remaining training camp candidates: nobody's position on the squad is secure. The girls are fitted for the revealing DCC uniforms, then sweat their way through a punishing physical workout

The training camp candidates don’t know what hit them when tough as nails and brutally honest guest choreographer Kitty Carter teaches a class. Then, the rookies get one step closer to transforming into Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.

The rookies get to wear the iconic Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders uniform for the very first time during a professional modeling shoot. Then the girls have a life changing experience skydiving with the legendary Army parachute team, the Golden Knights!

DCC training camp comes down to the last grueling rehearsals and whose long legs fit into the famous kick-line. The cheerleaders attend a bikini boot-camp for last minute toning. Then, amid tears of disappointment and shock, Kelli makes the final cuts.
