Hundreds audition, but only a select group will secure spots in the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders training camp. DCC director Kelli Finglass and head choreographer Judy Trammell oversee the intense audition process and decide which hopefuls will make the team.

I was one of those that felt Meredith should not have made the team last year. It was so hard watching her get cut. This was something that should have happened last year, her pain would not have been so paralyzing. She is a fun sweet woman and she deserved better. They did her no favors last year.

[@verakleinsmit2850]

[@chogan201]

I think her and Lili were great to make it and Meredith should have gone to the Bronco's with LiLi...Took what they learned from here and Showed what they knew ...LiLi made it on her first try and she is going on her second or 3rd season now...

She needs to get it a lot more together on the field to even think about group leader. There are plenty of other second years that will be more than qualified next year, depending on retirements.

I feel like Meredith just lost her spark/passion for this. She got too comfortable in her spot as a “veteran” but the rookies this year are just soo strong it really shows. I just doubt she’ll be back next year. It’s like she just gave up. Poor girl.

The fact she was caught off guard says it all. She’s not recognising when she’s sloppy and being outperformed in hard hitting groups. Nothing against her as a person and she’s a wonderful lyrical dancer but they should never have put her in the team. She doesn’t fit with their style.

I'm not trying to be mean but i noticed that both her hip hop audition solo's looked a lot the same. Same trics, so it doesn't really looks new to me. I like Maddie and she has come a long way but I find that her solo's look all the same for me.

[@zozoey_0537]

@@eskimo0 i agree- she's a wonderful dancer with a bunch of different tricks and styles under her belt but because she choreographs everything (or has the same choreographer) each year, her solos look quite similar. i think she could reach her full potential with some other choreographers or a different style influence (she's fully capable of doing something different but she's sticking to her comfort zone right now)

[@j.v.r.1981-]

I was surprised that Meredith made the team AT ALL! She was called into the office more times than anyone else I can remember. And even as a veteran, she was still behind with the choreography.

[@jasminewashington5953]

Since last year, many people said that Meredith’s boyfriend knows Jerry Jones personally, and that he threatened Kelly and Judy that if she does not make the team, they would get fired. Many people also said that she slept with Jerry Jones and a few others to be a DCC. Personally, I don’t know how she made the team, but I do know that she is NFL Cheerleader material, but not DCC material

[@aldccrazy1773]

pretty privilege

[@elenapatout1698]

I feel like after that first office meeting, Meredith kinda gave up. She wasn't even trying during Charm's choreography, wasn't even using her plié. Tyce Diorio said something about her last year that she didn't "understand the movement". In her presentation last year she said that she had tried to audition on Broadway but it hasn't worked out. I think it takes her wayyy to long to learn and to perform a dance. Not to mention that the DCC style was definitely not her strong suit.

[@andersonsmith3147]

Definitely

[@caseymarie9284]

I remember the first year Meredith auditioned (when she did not make it into training camp) they did an in-depth backstory of how she wanted to be a dancer in New York, but got cut from basically everything. No doubt she’s a beautiful dancer with beautiful lines, but she needs to work on picking up choreo quickly and then performing it full out on the spot.

[@bigonbooks4736]

Broadway is EXTREMELY fast paced, and if you make a mistake--lead or chorus--you best not make it noticeable. I've never been on Broadway (but I love it and follow a lot of people), but my guess is that in auditions if you make a BIG mistake (i.e. turning wrong way, timing), you're out. Plus, you need to be able to sing and act, too.

[@kristiisham3711]

@@bigonbooks4736, yes! That’s how it is in professional orchestras/bands, too. In an audition you screw up once or twice and you are out. Done.

[@beccabarnes2415]

I’m sorry, Meredith never should have made the squad in the first place. Other girls were cut for much less who were much better. I believe she made it based on her looks more than anything

[@karlyriver2298]

I think they let her through only because she was pretty. She wasn’t even that good when she did make the squad.

[@jabarijones8091]

Ashley H should of made it over Meredith last year.

[@littlemaridee]

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks this. She is stunningly beautiful and graceful. Her talent was in classical dance and she never translated her skills to DCC routines. When she did the routines, her technique seemed clunky and awkward.

[@yiyarox]

Apparently she also have a connection within the company somewhere as well which is why they pushed for her last season. But I guess it just wasn't enough to keep her. She's beautiful and lovely to see when its within her comfort zone.

[@ramonagaerin258]

I don't believe it about a connection. Can you actually see Jerry Jones telling Kelli to keep her? No way. She has been director for almost 30 years....just don't believe it. Why didn't she make it into camp the first year if that were true? Kelly was the only one who voted for her this year.

[@rachelgreenberg26]

Dang do the cameras do not like some of the dancers? Gina, Maddie(specifically this year) Also, how did Armani not make show group? I’m sorry, but she is one of the strongest, if not the strongest,rookies this year!

[@Flashygrrl]

Yeah apparently they didn't film Maddie this year, which to me is sadly signaling that this is probably going to be her last year and unfortunately she doesn't get to go out with much of a bang if that becomes true.

[@nylanelson5212]

Armani is one of my favorites on the team & should have made show group. The judges play favorites as we saw from last year with Meredith 😡

Wait, didn’t Meredith have an entire year/game season to do every dance over and over again? How does she not know them?? I’m so confused

[@rentme2011]

I’ve always wondered how many routines they retire from previous year. This year the rookies learned 17 dances (at home via DVD) before arriving to TC which leads me to believe they learn about 30 new ones at some point during season. Meredith struggled with the new routines taught by Charm and Evan.

[@h06anbjo]

In one clip they've posted on youtube, Meredith claimed training camp was a "catch up".. So she'd been using training camp to remember something that should already be ingrained in her muscle memory.

[@Trblmkr07]

Meredith forgot that each and every year is starting over.. veteran's aren't guaranteed a spot, they have to earn it. She didn't earn it starting from day 1 she was bad and never got better.

[@sandranorman5469]

She (as I got from different sideline watchers) made mistakes during the games and during the routines during halftime. There are some people that just can’t get their style. Sorry for Meredith.

[@ramonagaerin258]

I wish we knew how many games she actually danced at last year. Oh well...doesn't matter at this point. I think she is confused as to what training camp is about as a vet. Its not for catch up.

[@JillianLovesBooks]

I love Meredith's dancing. It's what I live for on a show like SYTYCD. But it's just not for DCC. I also think she has a lack of self awareness. She claimed she was "caught off guard" by being called into the office, even though she was already there twice. I just don't think she gets it. She doesn't understand why she's not at the level, and she doesn't understand what she's doing wrong or how to fix it. She needs more classes where she's put under pressure to learn quickly, but with lower stakes. She's such a beautiful girl, and a beautiful dancer. But she needs more pom training to sharpen up her field skills.

[@mrsx7944]

More power jazz and hip hop. She danced too soft but I really liked her. I think they should've kept her.

They did Meredith dirty. Everyone saw how she should have not made the team last year and yet they still added her. Now giving her a veteran position and then just destroying her by removing her now. They were giving her so much attention that she was doing well in all actuality she never improved.

[@josephine.france5]

Yes they shouldn’t have let her stay in her first year, it just made cutting her harder.

[@jCh33r]

Yesssss!!! I feel like if they had cut her towards the end of training camp last year and told her exactly what she needed to work on she would’ve been so much better off as a performer because she would’ve had some experience in training camp and known what their expectations were for the team, but she would’ve also had a year to really take fast paced dance classes and learn to pick up hard hitting choreography better. I feel bad for her because Kelli and Judi made so many exceptions for her last year and made it so that she was unable to uphold the standard expected of her as veteran

[@jerriarriola2029]

Meredith is the reason she is getting cut not anyone else. She is a veteran and she is making excuses. Meredith is responsible for bringing her “A Game” to every performance.

Inconsistent. Both are beautiful souls though ❤

[@brennenrivera4288]

It warms my heart to see Victoria come so far. From her crazy first year in training camp when she got cut to now holding her own and standing strong as a DCC vet. I bet she had a chance of being a group leader in her 3rd year. I'm also hoping Gina is a group leader this year. I'm assuming they will have Maddie as point, perhaps Gina as backup point like what they did with Maddie when Amy was point.

[@EmVee.]

It is already known that Maddie, Tess, Gina and Lexie are Group Leaders and that Maddie shares point with Rachel W

[@brennenrivera4288]

@@EmVee. OH okay cool!

[@brennenrivera4288]

@@EmVee. I personally feel Gina is the strongest vet dance-wise. But they REALLY like Rachel W. so that makes sense. If I may ask, where was that information released ??

[@EmVee.]

@@brennenrivera4288 Gina maybe the strongest vet dance-wise but point is more than that. Jackie Bob was at one of the games and recorded the big screen where at some points in Thundershock you'll see a empty AT&T and Maddie and Rachel W were shown as point. It is on Jackies YT channel

[@brennenrivera4288]

@@EmVee. I understand that about the point, I am just partial to Gina and to me she is the strongest bet dancer. And okay cool on Jackie Bob. With the rushed nature of the season and not doing it at the start this season has missed some things like the group leader/point announcements and the retiring veteran farewells and stuff.

Hi! Second Love this soo much! Is it me or does Amanda reminds u of Taylor swift when she was country? (Edit: omg thank so much for the likes!

Did you know that Amanda has an old music vid she did with Howie Mandel? Called go go go? I think...

[@danasullivan9023]

These choices that have to be made must be extremely hard on all parties. Everyone stepped up but some went backwards. Hopefully they will come back after more lessons in dance. 🙏❤️🙏❤️

[@taylorkenney6440]

It really bothers me that Kelly was giving Meredith all those compliments just cut her. I feel bad for Meredith.

[@nailslacquer]

That's what you call a shit sandwich lol Kelli does them a LOT when she's cutting. In fact it's how I know she's about to cut someone lol.

[@lbar973]

based on her IG post, meredith is definitely permanently retired from DCC and based on her age, I would assume she's retiring from like professional dance teams/companies in general.

[@mrsx7944]

That's a shame. If she had more confidence and higher energy she'd be phenomenal.

[@notpageuh]

I hope Armani at least makes show group next year 😭

[@EmVee.]

I am sure Armani and Elli will easily make showgroup next year!

[@shojic4894]

I love their picks for Show group..Victoria, Amanda, Chandi , Maddie , Caroline all had rocky starts on their season ..Nice to see them finally show that hard work and experience pays off in the end 👏

[@Pieeee1111]

Kelli said “Kat needs to prove herself to me” . I must have missed it. Did something happen between the two of them?

[@EmVee.]

They really didnt add rookie Claire outdancing everyone else. The shame

[@i_v-ro4of]

Yeah ikr. I honestly expected that to make it in more than some of these other clips.

[@kristen61997]

I saw her solo on Instagram and am shocked at how little camera time she gets! I wanted to see the judges comments!

[@bratzsnoopy]

She was robbed

Aww Meredith 💔 She is so gorgeous, I hope she comes back next year!

you can tell Kelly and Judy love Meredith they tried holding in their tears

It's crazy to see Maddie 13th on the leaderboard!!

[@aj_neymar54]

even though meredith was not doing her best i really did love her personality and Beautiful danceing

[@nylanelson5212]

Hannah did an Amazing performance & one of the best. They voted to give her no’s & maybes because she was one of the woman that spoke out about 4 of the DCC women testing positive for COVID19 also they wanted to make it look like they got rid of her based on not performing well. You will see in some of the other previous videos Sydney you don’t see at all so I’m assuming she was one of them that was sick

[@oggtastic]

Her solo was great but in one of the shots where she was dancing in a group she looked a little off to me.

[@nylanelson5212]

She was stressed because they has Sternly warned her for speaking out about DCC participates getting COVID19 a as 4 of them at least got sick while Hannah was there. In past if any of the girls said Anything that the DCC team dreams negative then it’s reason for them to remove you. They wanted to make it look like Hannah did a bad job. Remember they are in charge of the camera film & can split & tape to put only the few mistakes on tv to make it look like mistakes is all she did. Hannah was one of the Strongest Best ones on the team

[@EmVee.]

Boohoo

[@KellyVermeulen]

We only 'heard' Hannah's side of the story. Maybe she really was lacking in power and choreography. There's always 2 sides to a story.

[@ambermahan1031]

Sorry, but I didn't think Meredith should have ever been on the team. Especially when they turned down Lilly her first try out just because of her face. I didn't think Meredith ever got the style of dance down.

[@lisacarico1439]

Merideth should be a model for sure

[@sommerkilgore640]

Kat is hands down my favorite DCC

[@user-ct4mw5yw4g]

the height that ashlinn gets on that jump at 2:01 is so impressive

[@sharonsaunders2108]

Meredith has always been bad and I’m surprised she even made it last year tbh.

[@TamiresCaron]

Meredith wasn’t a top contestant last season and came back weaker, playing “catching up”. I’m not surprised she knew that she was getting cut.

[@autumnwelkenback327]

I love this show

[@MGM5678]

Me to

[@littletexas1882]

I truly don't think Meredith should've been on the team to begin with. But, her cut was absolutely heartbreaking, and I felt for her, and cried with her. She's a beautiful woman, and a BEAUTIFUL dancer. But maybe DCC isn't for her? Or maybe she should take Kelly's advice and work on her timing and all that. Loved her, I adored her. But I don't think she was right for the team, from the jump.

[@claymountain1300]

I don't know why Meridith does this job for minimum wage when she is such a good classical dancer

[@Vale82164]

There are much better classical dancers than her that don't get to work as dancers, ballet is an extremely competitive art, and very few of them get to sign with a ballet company, also, most ballerinas start retiring after they turn 30 so age is not in her favor either

[@abij1772]

That sucks I was rooting for her last season and was so happy when she made it

[@kaelynhancock7383]

also can we get a video of Alanna? I feel like we never see her!

they have favorites

[@ykskes2561]

They cut Malena ( after auditioning 5times) in the last week every time... she had trouble learning routines but was a genuine sweet kind girl... But she deserved to become a DCC... Meredith however is drop dead gorgious, has some connections with management I believe, mess up every routine and she made the team 🤷🏻‍♀️... Glad she was cut this year so a rookie who dances better wil take her place 👍🏼

[@EmVee.]

A pity you are happy like that about someone getting cut. Btw Melena didnt audition 5 times, Amy Simone did 😉

[@haleyglavich9582]

victoria made my jaw drop

[@jenlunceford]

I find it crazy how far the solos have come. Have yall seen the solos from the first few seasons? Most of those girls would never make it nowadays.

[@shojic4894]

Marrisa will be a future leader of the team just you wait guys . The show group only had two rookies selected ...Marissa and Clair . That is some compliment to these two.

[@starwarsanakin1977]

In every other scene in this video when we see Kat she is on the beat keeping up not making mistakes and Kellie says "she has to prove herself" but is just willing to keep Meredith just because, that is not how you run a team
