AMERICA'S SWEETHEARTS: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders

Rookie candidates and seasoned veterans prepare for this year's auditions. While some dazzle the team's directors, others leave more to be desired.

As veterans cut from the squad bid teary-eyed farewells, a new roster of candidates moves on to training camp for a chance to earn their spot on the team.

After getting makeovers, the candidates learn the DCC's most iconic dance and receive words of wisdom from an NFL Hall of Famer as another cut looms.

The candidates strut in their signature boots and try to put their best foot forward during the last days of training camp. The final roster is selected.

The squad feels the pressure ahead of their preseason game performance. When group leaders are announced, one dancer struggles with her confidence.

Off the field, the cheerleaders spread joy with fan interactions. Later, DCC prepares for an epic Thanksgiving celebration with a legendary performer.

In the face of challenges, the cheerleaders come together. Alumni from past decades return for a special show as the season comes to an emotional end.
