Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making the Team

Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, is once again the venue for the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders auditions.

Tensions run high for the 69 new hopefuls as 18 returning DCC veterans join the competition by way of coveted invitations to training camp.

The stress the newly selected training camp candidates are under is evident as they struggle to rearrange their schedules and secure new living arrangements in Dallas.

Two weeks into training camp, the dancers are tasked with mastering the world famous DCC kick line and jump split as Kelli and Judy prepare to make their first cuts.

On makeover day, the rookie candidates are given a new look with hair and makeup to transform them in the DCC mold.

Rehearsal starts with a big bang when DCC Technical Director Kitty Carter makes a surprise visit to Valley Ranch.

It's a tense time for all as the candidates prepare for the first and only field rehearsal on the Cowboys' stadium.

On the last night of training camp, dreams are made or broken as the final squad is announced.
