Teresa April 28, 2017 Share April 28, 2017 Is there a reason all the NFL teams refer to their teams as cheerleaders instead of dancers? Like the NBA has the Dallas Mavericks DANCERS. Why couldn't they just call the DCC the Dallas Cowboys Dancers? Because that's what they are. They are not true cheerleaders as they don't cheer or stunt, except at that Susan G Komen halftime show. So many girls come in from competitive cheer backgrounds and can't dance (i.e. Cassie Trammel). The only good being a good tumbler does is maybe for show group, but even then, show group still has to be technically superior in dance (which Cassie was NOT!). 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/70244-dcc-qa-mysteries-of-the-dcc-world/page/17/#findComment-3224770

This. They were the Cowboys cheerleaders way back before the separation between tumbler/stunters and pom squads was really made. When my mom was in high school in the 70s, they were pretty much all pom squads who didnt do much more than toe touches and splits. She always said the cheerleaders then were the girls who weren't graceful enough to be majorettes. BTW - two of her sisters were majorettes, she and the last sister cheered. I presume the DCC just shifted more towards the high kicks and dance, instead of evolving into stunting and tumbling. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/70244-dcc-qa-mysteries-of-the-dcc-world/page/17/#findComment-3226431

I think it might have to do with the fact that the cheerleaders are on the field actually cheering during the game and will break into a dance at any moment.

sleepyjean May 14, 2017 Share May 14, 2017 Getting a Barbie at auditions is an honor. (I can't believe I'm even thinking that with a straight face. It's a Barbie doll and these are grown women.) But winning the Barbie happens before training camp. Before becoming a DCC. Barbie is an indicator that you gave one great performance, relative to everyone else who competed. It is a commentary on one moment in time. I think in most cases, the winners probably are outstanding performers during the season. But there's a whole year between getting that doll and the next audition. A lot can happen - for better or worse - during that year. Someone who is a great dancer may not be great in all other respects. And of course, it is also possible that she didn't have a great audition and/or interview this year. 1 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/70244-dcc-qa-mysteries-of-the-dcc-world/page/17/#findComment-3277778
