From their star-covered vests and sparkling white boots to their dramatic jump splits, the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders are much more than a supporting act for their associated NFL team.<\/p>\n
They\u2019re stars on the football field in their own right.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s why so many women dream of landing a spot on the iconic squad. But as the opening message of Netflix\u2019s \u201cAmerica’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders\u201d reads, even though \u201chundreds of women compete\u201d for the opportunity each year, \u201conly 36 will make it\u201d on the DCC team.<\/p>\n
As of June 27, the series currently stands at No. 2 on Netflix’s list of its top TV shows in the U.S.<\/p>\n
When asked what fans can expect to see in the series, coach Kelli Finglass told TODAY’s Savannah Guthrie and Jenna Bush Hager that the show will take an inside look at the cheerleaders’ lives in and out of the spotlight<\/p>\n
“This show on Netflix actually follows the ladies in their personal lives, their careers, their boyfriends or fianc\u00e9s and it gets real. It’s raw,” Finglass said during an appearance on the place on June 27. “It made me cry. I saw things that I never saw before, that had nothing to do with the football field or the performance, but had everything to do about their personal lives.”<\/p>\n
The seven-part series follows veterans and rookies alike as they audition for a spot on the DCC\u2019s Class of 2023, offering a peek at both the thrill of making it through and the heartbreak of losing out \u2014 as well as the process behind it all.<\/p>\n
On TODAY, veteran cheerleader Kelcey Wetterberg talked about the audition process that they have to do year after year to stay on the squad.<\/p>\n
“Honestly, the only thing that really changes for us as veterans is the familiarity,” she said. “We know our teammates. We know Kelly and (head choreographer) Judy (Trammell), we know the judges sitting in front of us, so that helps a little bit to ease your mind. But we really treat it the same as we did as rookies.”<\/p>\n
Viewers who want to get to know some of the cheerleaders better can follow them on Instagram. Here\u2019s where to find them:<\/p>\n
Kelli Finglass<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Where to find Kelli Finglass on Instagram: <\/strong>@kellifinglass<\/p>\n
Longtime fans of the DCC and of CMT\u2019s \u201cDallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making the Team\u201d will recognize Kelli Finglass (as well as a few other names and faces on \u201cAmerica\u2019s Sweethearts”). Finglass is the director of the DCC and has been since 1991. That\u2019s why she\u2019s the one calling the shots on the show.<\/p>\n
But Finglass\u2019 history with the squad goes back even further than that. From 1984 to 1989, she shook her pompoms for the team.<\/p>\n
Judy Trammell<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Where to find Judy Trammell on Instagram: <\/strong>@dcc_judy<\/p>\n
The only thing as recognizable as the DCC\u2019s uniforms is their \u201cThunderstruck\u201d moves, and Judy Trammell is the mastermind behind that. As head choreographer, she puts all the hopefuls and the final Class of 2023 through their paces on \u201cAmerica’s Sweethearts.\u201d<\/p>\n
Trammell has served as full-time choreographer for the DCC since 1991, and like Finglass, she\u2019s also a former member of the squad. She cheered for Dallas from 1980 to 1984.<\/p>\n
Kelcey Wetterberg<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Kelcey Wetterberg kicks off the auditions for the Class of 2023 as a fifth-year veteran and first-group leader who quickly proves herself a shoo-in for another season. The only thing better than her moves is her willingness to help her fellow auditioners through the grueling process.<\/p>\n
Off the field, Wetterberg works as a pediatric nurse.<\/p>\n
Victoria Kalina<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Where to find Victoria Kalina on Instagram: <\/strong>@victoriakalina<\/p>\n
Fourth-year veteran Victoria Kalina is fighting for more than another year on the squad in \u201cAmerica’s Sweethearts.\u201d She has group-leader ambitions, too.<\/p>\n
Kalina considers the best moment of her life to be when she first made the team. After all, as a second-generation Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader, it was her goal since childhood.<\/p>\n
Her mother, Tina Kalina, was part of the DCC\u2019s Class of 1989.<\/p>\n
Anna Kate Sundvold<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Where to find Anna Kate Sundvold on Instagram: <\/strong>@annakatesundvold<\/p>\n
Texas Christian University graduate Anna Kate Sundvold looks every bit the part of a Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader from her earliest audition on \u201cAmerica\u2019s Sweethearts.\u201d Maybe that\u2019s because, like Kalina, she has a family connection.<\/p>\n
Her sister, Caroline Sundvold, who also appears on the series, was part of DCC\u2019s Class of 2022 and was named the 2023 Veteran of the Year.<\/p>\n
Anisha Kay<\/h2>\n
Where to find on Instagram: <\/strong>@anishakula<\/p>\n
Former Golden State Warriors dance team member Anisha Kay is one of the rookie hopefuls who tries to keep up with the pace on the Netflix series.<\/p>\n\n
When she\u2019s not trying out for a spot on an elite cheer team, Kay focuses on her primary career, as an orthodontist.<\/p>\n
Reece Allman\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Where to find Reece Allman on Instagram: <\/strong>@reece_christinee<\/p>\n
Rookie candidate Reece Allman, from Jacksonville, Florida, begins her audition process with minimal nerves on “America’s Sweethearts.” For that, she credits her faith.<\/p>\n
As she declares in the first episode, \u201cGod is in control of this whole process, so whatever is meant to happen is meant to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n
Charly Barby<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Where to find Charly Barby on Instagram: <\/strong>@charly.barby<\/p>\n
Charly Barby, the lone redheaded rookie candidate (at least until makeover day), has a background in ballet that she hopes to translate to cheer.<\/p>\n
She shares her love of dance on her Instagram page.<\/p>\n
Madeline Salter<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Where to find Madeline Salter on Instagram: <\/strong>@_madelineggrace<\/p>\n
Madeline Salter is a third-year veteran pursuing the chance to join the 2023 squad on \u201cAmerica’s Sweethearts.” And, like some of the other returning vets, she\u2019s also part of a DCC dynasty.<\/p>\n
Her mother is Shannon Hall Salter, who cheered for the Dallas Cowboys from 1987 to 1990.<\/p>\n
