Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making the Team

The new Cowboys Stadium plays host to the preliminary auditions selecting the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders squad for the 2010-2011 season, and emotions run high for thousands of hopefuls.

The rookie candidates go up against returning veterans in a series of dance combinations, panel interviews and solo performances before the final training camp invitees are announced.

A few rookies struggle as training camp gets underway, and the candidates get the opportunity to meet their idols and mentors.

The pressure is on in the second week of training camp, the candidates try on their uniforms for the first time, and Kelli and Judy prepare to make the first cuts.

It's DCC makeover day for the rookies, three candidates get called into Kelli's office for face-to-face meetings, and more training camp cuts are looming.

During a photo shoot for rookies and veterans, no one is safe from being scrutinized, and eight dancers get called into the office.

Fear, nerves, and heartbreak set in after field rehearsals when Kelli announces which candidates she wants to see in her office.

With the 2010-2011 squad finally set, the DCC take to the turf of Cowboys Stadium for their first field performance in front of 85,000 ecstatic fans.
