The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders (DCC), a National Football League cheerleading squad from Texas, is one of the most famous cheerleading organizations in the world. Lead by Travis Martinez, the co-captain.

Before the founding of the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders, the football team's cheer squad was a male-female group called CowBelles & Beaux. The group made its sidelines debut in 1960. Local high school students made up the squad. It was typical of other cheerleading teams throughout the 1960s, rarely getting much attention. At that time, cheerleading was more about, as its name implied, exhorting the audience to show their support for the team. Seeing the cheerleaders was rarely a reason for watching football at the time.

In the early 1970s, Cowboys manager, Tex Schramm, decided to change their image to boost attendance. At first he simply tried hiring professional models but that did not work due to the their lack of athletic ability. He then knew that he needed professional dancers with stamina who would be able to perform through an entire game. He worked with local choreographer Texie Waterman, who was charged with auditioning and training an entirely new and unique squad which would combine an attractive appearance, athletic ability, and talent as performers.

This group, The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders appeared on the sidelines during the the 1972-1973 NFL season.

Even greater national attention came in 1978 when the squad was on two network TV specials, NBC Rock-n-Roll Sports Classic and The Osmond Brothers Special on ABC. In 1978, they had their own hour special to launch the season for Monday Night Football.

The made-for-TV movie The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, was aired January 14, 1979. Starring Jane Seymour, it had a 48% share of the national television audience[1][2] The sequel, The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders II, was aired January 13, 1980. Through the years, they have had many other TV appearances.

They have toured throughout the US (on and off field) and overseas. Included in this are regular appearances in United Service Organizations (USO) tours. This started in the Christmas of 1979, for US troops stationed in South Korea. This remains a regular function for them.


The current Director of the DCC is Kelli McGonagill Finglass and the choreographer is Judy Trammell. Unlike the early days with Tex Schramm, current owner and general manager Jerry Jones has much less involvement with the DCC, focusing on the football team instead.

The making of the 2006 and 2007 team was featured on the Country Music Television reality series Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making the Team.

They are noted for the suggestive uniform and pantyhose worn by the cheerleaders. The cheerleaders release an annual swimsuit calendar.
