A good way to start off this football season is to binge watch the new Netflix documentary on the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders.
This new show is called America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders and is an overview of a year as a Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader.
This docuseries is seven episodes long. It showcases the 2023-2024 football season. The show starts with the audition process and ends with the last football game of the Cowboys’ season.
This show displays the cheerleaders past and present. The coaches in charge are Kelli Finglass and Judy Trammel, and they run their team in a very strict way.
To be a Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader there are many auditions and requirements a cheerleader must meet. A person trying out must be at least 18 and able to attend all practices and tryouts. They need to submit an audition tape and perform a solo in front of judges. A person must also be able to do high kicks and the split so that they can perform in all their events including halftime.
The show focuses on the life of a cheerleader and the other things that come with it such as relationships, retirement, and mental health. It even follows the stories of those who do not make the final cut and those who did not return.
Many fans were excited for this show, and some of the things they learned shocked them. One thing many fans were shocked by was how little money these cheerleaders make. They were also surprised to learn that many of them also work full time jobs on top of cheering for the Cowboys.
One thing fans were excited about was the iconic “Thunderstruck” dance that the cheerleaders perform at halftime.
On many social media platforms, many cheerleaders and fans can be seen trying to perform the dance just like them.
Many fans want to know more and hope there will be a second season, but as of right now, there is no news of a second season in the making.
This show is very drama-filled and can keep viewers on the edge of their seats. It is a very lighthearted show with many uplifting stories.
However, at times they do discuss some serious topics.
