I had the honor of interviewing DCC Alumni Kelley Dixon who cheered for two seasons (92-94) and participated in two Super Bowls! (27 & 28) We had so much fun exchanging stories of our time as Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders and I enjoyed listening to her experiences.  Kelley grew up in the DFW area and took dance at Texie Waterman’s studio. We found out that we were both officers on our High School dance teams and that she also went to the University of North Texas, like I

Sandi Phillips was a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader on the millennium squad from 2000-2002. She was encouraged by her grandmother to audition and decided to go for it at the young age of 18 years old. She was still in high school when she auditioned and remembers leaving directly from school to get to practice early so that she would be prepared for rehearsal. Sandi told me that she will never forget the feeling of stepping on the field for the first time at a game. One of her highlights

Originally from Mesquite, Texas, Priscilla grew up admiring and idolizing the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders; however, in her mind, becoming one was just a dream and not something she thought she would ever actually be able to attain. That all changed one day in 1985 when a high school friend made her dreams come true and successfully made the team. Priscilla stated, “This inspired me that I could

Prior to Jessica’s time with the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, she lived a VERY full dance dream. She considers herself to be a gypsy, and actively chased every dream she had when it came to dance. Originally from Albuquerque, NM, Jessica accepted a full-ride scholarship to Pace University in New York City, where she ended up getting a BA in Musical Theater and Dance. If that isn’t impressive enough, she continued her education after college, going to graduate school at Pace University where she studied Media Communications and

I know you feel like you are different from a lot of people around you,

  Dear 7-year-old Kat,  You may not realize it now, but what you are going through is needed. I know you may be sad because you cannot live with Mommy anymore; but moving into Oma (grandma) and Papooh’s (grandpa) house will be the best thing that's ever happened to you. Mommy is working more jobs, so you can say, “YES!” to all the opportunities this world will throw your way. Don’t grow up too fast, slow down and have fun where you are. Oma and Papooh love raising you

Dear Younger Self, I hope that you wake up every day knowing just how amazing you are! No, seriously you are amazing! You will accomplish so much in a short period. Life will not always be kind, but you will persevere and conquer every obstacle that you encounter. I want to let you know that you are so much stronger than you think. “You’re playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.”
