Six hundred hopeful candidates arrive at Cowboys Stadium for the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders preliminary auditions.

DCC training camp opens, and many of the new candidates have had to uproot their lives and move to Dallas with no guarantee of becoming a Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader. DCC director Kelli McGonagill Finglass is quick to state there will be no tolerance of missed practices, lax effort or foolish decisions outside the DCC. Simply put, if you screw up, you're cut.

It is just the second week of rehearsals, and Kelli and Judy are quick to run the training camp candidates through the signature kick line and jump split. Many of the new candidates have never done a jump split, and their inexperience causes a few girls to be injured.

The women receive DCC-approved makeovers before rehearsing their routines, and Kelli and Judy get to know some of the out-of-state candidates a little better.

DCC Technical Director Kitty Carter runs an intense rehearsal while Kelli is out sick, the remaining candidates enjoy a photoshoot, and the groups bond over a bowling night with the veterans.

Another week of training camp kicks off with a rehearsal on the field at the Cowboys' home stadium, and the women start to feel the pressure as Kelli and Judy narrow down their final cuts.

As training camp comes to an end, Kelli and Judy hold one final field rehearsal before announcing which women will be a part of the final DCC squad.

The squad gears up for their first game day performance, some of the rookies meet with a nutritionist, and the women gear up for photoshoot south of the border.

The dancers endure an intense rehearsal schedule as Kelli and Judy prepare for their first regular home game performance, and one hopeful's tardiness creates stress for everyone.

Cheerleading hopefuls travel from near and far to follow their dreams and audition for a highly coveted spot on the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders' squad.
