Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making the Team is an American reality television series that aired on CMT from September 29, 2006, to November 27, 2021.[2] The series follows the auditioning process and the forming of the Dallas Cowboys' annual Cheerleading squad. The series features director Kelli McGonagill Finglass and choreographer Judy Trammell.
In April 2022, it was reported that CMT canceled the series after 16 seasons.[3] A successor series, America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders was ordered by Netflix and premiered on June 20, 2024.[4][5]
Summary
The show tracks the progression of women who are in the audition process of trying to become a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader. The show begins at Texas Stadium (Seasons 1–3), then moves with the team to AT&T Stadium in subsequent seasons: first the open audition "cattle call", then the five-person audition "cut-down", followed by personal interviews, uniform fittings, BMI testing, physical fitness testing, etiquette training, mock media interviews, and calendar shoots. Successful candidates must also complete a knowledge test on various subjects including, but not limited to: the Dallas Cowboys and their history, NFL Football in general and the rules of the game, general history, government, and current events.
There is also the grueling elite dance choreography that tests each woman's capacity to grasp dance combinations and perform the trademark kick-line/jump-split routine for which the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders is known.
Women are judged by a hand-picked panel of experts, and scoring is based on physical appearance, physical fitness, dance style, poise, grace, intelligence, and showmanship.
Once training camp opens, the women are put through a program of elite dance training and physical conditioning that is comparable to some professional sports training programs. If a contestant is struggling, she is called into Finglass' office to discuss the nature of her difficulty and is generally given an opportunity to correct the shortcoming(s) to avoid being dismissed ("cut") from the squad.
Due to Covid protocols, auditions went virtual in 2020, and have remained so through 2021, with finals held in-person.

Dance your heart out, make amazing memories, and find your very best friends 💙⚡️ After four years with the Cowboys, I have decided to retire my poms. I am forever grateful for my time as a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader and for all of the incredible women I have been lucky enough to share the sidelines with. Thank you to all of my teammates, past and present, for making this crazy ride so special. Good luck to the girls continuing, or just beginning, their cheerleading careers. I can't wait to watch y'all shine! And thank YOU. My friends, family, and all of Cowboys Nation, for believing in me and supporting me every step of the way. Representing the team I grew up cheering for has been an honor, and this organization will always hold an irreplaceable spot in my heart. Cheers to FOUR unbelievable years. And cheers to what's to come ✨⭐️"".
- ^ "@bri_channelle on Instagram: "not my first rodeo, but definitely the last (Kinda)🤠. I knew heading into this season that it would be my last year, and what a year it was. If the pandemic taught me anything, it's that i have been burning the candles at both ends for a really long time, & it's time to take a teensy step back (Plus, helping everyone else chase this dream has been the most fun these past few weeks). But 6 NFL seasons later, i have learned 6 very important lessons: 1. Write it in pencil. Both praise and criticism. It's not permanent & it doesn't define you. Being the subject of the day on the blog is basically a rite of passage at this point. 2. Take care of your body, you only have one. However, those 2am whataburger visits during training camp may have been the only thing that kept me sane (Small dr. Pepper easy ice, medium fry, 2 regular ketchups please). 3. It's cheerleading, not brain surgery. Don't overthink it. 4. Find your people. People who love you at your best & worst. People who won't ignore you when you ask, "wait, don't hate me. Which rebel tonight?", every night. People who track your location when you haven't texted back in a couple hours, just to make sure you're alive. 5. If i can run thunderstruck full out, 3 times back to back to back, outside, in july, I have faith that you too can do anything you put your mind to. 6. The days are long (So, so long), but the years are short. Be present, be gracious, and don't take yourself too seriously. Bonus #7. Raiders fans are the worst. Not up for debate. Luckily, judy wasn't ready to get rid of me yet (Who else would she yell at about nude vs white nails), & i am so thankful to have been invited back as an all star. So this isn't a full goodbye yet, just a see you later. ✌🏾🤍⭐️"".

A terrified 18 year old flew to Dallas with no expectation of even making it past round 1 of auditions. Her expectations were exceeded greatly.😉 Thank you Cowboys nation for the years of love and endless support. Thank you to every teammate that turned into a sister for life and gave me all these memories.👯♀️ Thank you to DCC coaches and staff for making these last 5 years magic. Last but not least thank you to my family for the all the support a girl could ask for. I am beyond grateful for my time on the field and cannot wait to see who else gets to live out this dream for years to come! I am so thankful to be a little part of this incredible organization.💫To anyone who is scared to shoot for the moon, don't be. It's worth the leap. Sending all my love & cheers, DCC Maddie. 💙 if you see me in the boots and stars in the near future it's because this journey will be continued....as an ALL STAR.⭐️ 🎥: @sierraftonfilms @sierrafton she may not have captured the memories in real time but she did bottle them up for me perfectly. Thanks Si.🤍"".
- ^ "Lisa Mills on Instagram: "as some of you may know, i suffered a "pretty gnarly" (As i like to call it) neck injury last season that worsened in november. It has been a difficult journey consisting of multiple trigger point injections, epidurals, PT sessions, etc., but the pain was made tolerable and manageable thanks to my support system and passion for dance. Unfortunately, despite all of our efforts, we could not manage the pain anymore to where it didn't affect my quality of life and dance career. With that being said, it is with a heavy heart that i announce my withdrawal from training camp for the 2021 season. I am devastated by the news, of course, but i am eager towards recovery and living life free from this pain. I am forever grateful for all of the love, support, and encouragement from my family, friends, my teammates, the DCC organization and the great care and supervision from my doctors, specialists, and athletic trainer seeing as i couldn't have done this without any of them. As kelli said, "this isn't the end.. This is only a delay of game." i am looking forward to auditions next year and coming back stronger and better than before 🤍 always remember to trust in the Lord, trust in the process, and remember your WHY 🙏🏼 John 13:7 #comeback #comebackseason p.s. Surgery went well! Thank you Lord!"".
