RECORDS
Introduced at Texas Stadium in 1972 to add glamour, excitement and
entertainment value to the NFL game-day experience, the Dallas Cowboys
Cheerleaders quickly became an American icon, creating an international
phenomenon that was quickly replicated throughout the NFL.
Their image and style continues to have a tremendous impact on
sports entertainment, but while they are often imitated, no other organization
has been able to achieve their prominence or popularity. The
Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders are recognized around the world as an
elite performance group, and their star spangled uniforms are one of
the most well-known symbols of pop culture.
During the 70s, their national popularity generated such a sensation
that two made-for-tv movies were developed about the squad and achieved
top ratings. Today the Cheerleaders regularly make guest appearances on
national television shows such as “Conan,” “American Idol,” “The View,” “The Today Show,” “Saturday
Night Live” and “David Letterman,” and have competed for the benefit of charity on “1 versus 100,”
“Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader,” and “Identity.” For the past 20 years, they have also produced
their own “The Making of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders Swimsuit Calendar” television special for
national network distribution. They are currently in the ninth season of the
highly rated CMT “The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders – Making the Squad”
series that captures the entire DCC audition process and training camp.
The Cheerleaders are of course a regular feature on the sidelines of
AT&T Stadium, but they also are an ongoing demand at festivals, sporting
events and corporate conventions around the country and frequently
appear on national magazines covers, television commercials and
Hollywood films. They are featured in four published calendars, three swimsuit
issues and a sideline calendar, as well as a swimsuit magazine special
in The Dallas Cowboys Star Magazine. Their appearances are not just limited
to stages, but also include philanthropic and civic events throughout
the year with annual visits to hospitals, nursing homes and schools and
participation in telethons and fundraising events across the United States.
The DCC Show Group has proudly entertained U.S. military personnel
around the world since 1979 – making more international tours with the Kelli McGonagill Finglass
USO than any other entertainment group. They bring their own special Director
brand of goodwill and gratitude to the men and women in the military, traveling
to locations as diverse as Iraq, Bosnia, Afghanistan, Cuba, Korea and
the Persian Gulf. Their annual trips have become a special tradition for
both the troops and the Cheerleaders. So special, in fact, that the USO presented
the squad with both the first-ever “Spirit of Hope Award” and with
the “USO’s 50th Anniversary Award” in recognition of their distinguished
service to American troops. They were also honored with induction into the
Veteran of Foreign Wars Hall of Fame in 2002. This year, the Cheerleaders
are being awarded the American Legion’s Distinguished Service Medal.
The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders are truly extraordinary women chosen
to exemplify the high standards of the Dallas Cowboys Football Club
and to proudly represent their hometowns, their country and young women
everywhere.
Charlotte Jones Anderson is the President of the Dallas Cowboys
Cheerleaders, and the squad is under the direction of Kelli McGonagill
Finglass and the choreography of Judy Trammell.
