Sherri Steenson cheered for the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders from 1971-1972. During her time to cheer was a historical moment at Texas Stadium in Irving. She tried out twice before making the team. When Sherri auditioned for the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, auditions were by invite only and 500 women attended. The tryouts lasted one day, and the ladies only danced once. They had to perform a cheer or two, as well. The ladies were required to freestyle to a random song chosen by the judges. Sherri attended auditions

Christi Kendrick was a proud ambassador for America's team as a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader in 1989.  That year, Christi recalls the uniform having a big shift with a new set of white dingo boots to replace the GoGo boots previously warn by the cheerleaders. While Christi was on the team she remembers the sisterly bond being one of her favorite parts and she says that if she could go back she would stay late after practice for that extra bonding time in the studio and locker room

Carrie Reeves, also known as ¨Pooh Bear¨, was a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader from 1994-1996. Carrie auditioned for the team while she was in high school, and found out she made the team on the night of her Senior Prom.

We talked about everything from her experience on the team, to mine, to her

Sasha Agent Marrier was a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader in 2010 and 2011. Before becoming a DCC, Sasha danced for the NBA’s Sacramento Kings for four years, while attending the University of California, Davis. During her rookie year as a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader, she was told that she made the team right before taking the squad photo. The candidates were under the impression that Kelli and Judy were still making decisions, but they broke the amazing news right before they walked on set to take the iconic photo.

While Becky may have only spent one season as a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader, there is no doubting that she had a season packed full of amazing experiences and lasting memories. Becky is originally from Tyler, Texas, and made the team in 1975. She was only 20 years old when she successfully balanced all DCC-related commitments with commuting to and from Baylor University in Waco, TX where she was a full-time law student. This alone demonstrates the determination, dedication, and unmatched time management skills that Becky possessed from

Adrianna was not your typical Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader. She grew up in buns and tutus in the world of ballet, and still to this day is referred to as “The Ballerina”. Her journey began while furthering her education at Midwestern State University, studying communications with a ballet scholarship. While casually flipping through her TV she noticed an ad for the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders auditions. So what did she do? She went for it and thought to herself, “I doubt I’ll make it, but it was something out

I had the pleasure to interview Kim Stevens. Kim was a DCC for 3 seasons (84, 85, 86) and cheered with Kelli McGonagill Finglass. Kim was the youngest on the team when she made it at the age of 18. A fun fact Kim shared is when she made it to training camp, she was actually still in high school. They announced it on the intercom during announcements at her high school and she was so embarrassed! After her first try, Kim was put on show group

I had the honor of interviewing Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader Alumni, Shelly Bennett, who was a cheerleader from 1986 to 1988. Shelly talked about her time on the team like it was yesterday, and speaks so highly of her experiences and directors. While she had so many once in a lifetime opportunities on the team, she was most thankful for the lifelong friendships she made with her DCC sisters.  Shelly did not always know she wanted to audition to become one of America’s Sweethearts. In fact, she heard about

Jayne Phillip’s journey to becoming a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader was different from most individuals who have fulfilled the same dream. She had a very successful modeling career growing up, after signing with an agency in New Orleans at the age of 14. She also appeared in Aerosmith’s music video for “Rag Doll” filmed on Bourbon Street in 1988. She always aspired to be a dancer, but never had any formal dance training. She explained to me that she was unable to take dance classes growing up, so
