A TRIBUTE TO THE WORLD-FAMOUS |
| HEAVEN ON EARTH: The DCC always say one of the most fulfulling experiences of being a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader is during the pregrame entertainment when they're waiting in the tunnel for the announcer to declare "Ladies and gentlemen, the internationally acclaimed, often imitated, never equalled, Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders!" just before they take the field for another precision high-kick, jump-split performance. The 65,000 fans in attendance know they are witnessing the world's greatest Cheerleaders in the world's greatest stadium of the world's greatest team.

| THE BEST KICKLINE IN SPORTS Ever since their pregame routine of Super Bowl XXVII, the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders's high-kicking performances have been sought after everywhere. They have appeared on the Montel Williams Show, Wheel of Fortune, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The David Letterman Show, two Nike commercials, a Lays potato chips ad, a Netpliance Super Bowl promo, annual swimsuit calendar specials on ESPN, Entertainment Tonight, Access Hollywood, E! Entertainment, a commercial with Joe Namath, the cover of Sports Illustrated, the cover of Muscle and Fitness, a Doritos commercial and more. Most recently, the DCC were featured in commercials for Burger King and Turner South, and an episode of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. In fall 2005, they started an annual TV show on Country Music Television - Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making The Team, which has such high ratings that it has been expanded to a 16-part series for the 2007 season. Although the famed kickline may not be featured in every one of these appearances, it is one of the main reasons for the DCC's vast appeal. Other professional cheerleaders mimic the women in Blue Stars and Crystals, but no one else comes close. |

| THE MIGHTY SHOW GROUP Every year, the DCC selects a group of 12 to 18 representatives to make public appearances, perform impressive routines, meet and greet fans, sign autographs, help promote corporate endeavors, contribute time and energy to charitable causes and bring smiles to the faces of everyone they touch. This storied team of women is known as the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders Show Group. This group is so revered that the United States Organization/Department of Defense (USO/DOD) sends them to perform for US troops overseas at least twice annually. The DCC have entertained the men and women of the US military 60 times, a world record for any entertainment entity. At right, Show Group member Christina Carr performs the "Parade Rest Boa" routine whereby male fans are randomly selected from audiences and "seduced" (playfully) by dancing DCC to the tune of Bette Midler's "Stuff Like That There." It is always a crowd-pleaser. |  |
