Maybe we're jaded because all the uber religious people we hear from in this town are so hypocritical and are really just interested in policital power and controling others. The mega church was SO WEIRD. What kind of god give a foo about football and the Cowboys and specifically a city in TX? |
That’s true, but these women are 18-24. They’re just SO young & naive. Then they finish DCC & need 2-12(!) ortho surgeries, or they get stalked, or death threats. But they do it for the prestige & “sisterhood” without any decent compensation. It’s criminal. |
Why do they have to be an independent entity and make $$? DCCs are performers for the fans. The Cowboys pay Dolly Parton or whoever for their Thanksgiving game. So why aren’t they paying their DCC performers appropriately? Because they’re women. Because they’re so young. It’s exploitation. Plain & simple. |
Yes they do. DCC practices start at 7pm and then the performance/ event days are on weekends. Home games only plus holiday events and volunteer things. Most are not graduating injured at all. Show highlighted one person who did have hip or knee issues. She choose to do 4 years then get surgery. She could have quit at first diagnoses. She’s with a cane due to surgery recovery, not being crippled or something. |
Not sure why they edited that intro in. Dont care We’re military and Catholic and had to live in the south, Niceville area. Kids went to a very nice religious school and all of the area joined a fun, active community via a “mega church” down the road. Fun childcare during mass talks or events, lots of social groups (moms, dads, teens, sports teams, volunteer), a band performs, etc. Did I feel holy and refilled during and after mass? Not like a traditional Catholic mass but Yes. The talks were topical and people were there for the community, talk and hear about life and doing better, and socialize. Similar to other religion- social communities. My spouse even drummed in the bad, he loved to drum and find a band. But that was our options big Baptist, episcopal or Presbyterian churches or mega churches. They were relateable and focused on the human needs level and being a better person to herself and to others. In Catholicism it’s similar and to overcome basic human natures of power & greed. |
They may be young but they’ve been in the competitive dance world for 10+ years. They don’t want to cheer for any NFL team, they want the dallas cowboys cheerleading. The top one. So you’re not seeing dumbos. You’re seeing top of their field performers trying out for the top program in the world. Furthermore, the dance world doesn’t have a ton of spots anywhere. Not for too music videos, trying back up dancers, or static PACs. Plus you dontibwheb young or you stop and move on to other things. Nothing puzzling going on here. Want to be an astronaut or NBA player? Be naturally athletic, trainable/coachable, then train your @$$ off, be top of your class, try out and hope your timing and luck and performances are impeccable. |
Either you think an 18 year old woman is a grown adult capable of making her own choices or you don’t. |

By 18 my parents had taught me to make a budget. I figured out that I should make two, from the opposite direction of each other. $75k for a part time job sounds great to me! |
Cool story. It wasn't just an intro. It was a whole segment. And it has absolutely nothing to do with the DCC. |
Victoria has a Youtube channel. She posted a video the other day about wanting a boyfriend. I don't know how she's going to get one - she takes dance classes with all women, was a cheerleader with all women, and is now trying to join the Rockettes - again, all women.
Though she does desperately want to be on Dancing With the Stars so she could meet a man there. Though she's so high maintenance I don't know who'd have the patience for her. She also seems to think she's MUCH cuter than she actually is. |
+1 Tryouts are tryouts. Go get a govt job if you want to avoid competing |
She needs to move and from and. It live with her mother. To hear her father and brothers never once went to one of her dance shows or competitions for 15+ years to date was really sad. |
This makes no sense. |
Agree. Sad to hear and show didn’t further pursue that neglect and issue. |
