Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders: Making the Team shows what it is like to get into what is arguably the most famous uniform in all of professional sports. The white and blue star-spangled outfits of the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders have unquestionably become an iconic symbol of America. Since their first championship days in the 1970s, the Dallas Cowboys have been called America's Team and their famed cheerleaders, America's Sweethearts. The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders have been often imitated throughout the league but never equaled in terms of beauty, style, athleticism and worldwide popularity. They are the only cheerleading squad to make history, making countless appearances in film and television. Their television movie, The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders (1980), remains the second highest rated television movie of all time. This year, the DCC has had invitations to appear in over 30 countries and have performed with everyone from Beyonce to Shania Twain. Simply, they were the first true dancing troupe of beautiful women to perform in the NFL, and they have remained a phenomenon. In Texas, where football is religion, the opportunity for a woman to make the team is akin to winning the lottery. It brings instant celebrity and career opportunities. It changes your life.MORE
