Every First Time Dancing In Boots 👢

The sad reality is that if they got rid of the DCC, the Cowboys would still sell out each game. Most fans pay to watch football at the games. The players are the cash cows which is why they're paid accordingly. Seven NFL teams don't have cheerleaders and they still sell out their games. Notwithstanding that, I do feel the DCC should be paid more than what they currently make.

I would assume there is also some concern about foot/leg injuries if they wore them for the whole training camp. The boots probably don't have much in terms of cushion or arch support, so better to keep them in athletic shoes for most of the rehearsals so they don't end up with leg injuries.

I clicked on this not knowing what it was about. I am a bit surprised that they want them to perform like the Rockettes but don't pay them in these training camps and then only pay them 150.00 a week. I did the math and for the season thats 2,550.00. Gameday is probably a 5 hour day and I'm sure they have practice 1 or 2 times week. Why do they do this for the peanuts they pay them. My brother is good friends with the Jaguars mascot, when he started 20 years ago he was working his full time job while doing this on Sunday a couple years later he made the mascot his only job. He makes over 100,000 a year and it changes yearly usually depending how the team is doing and what tricks he does. For example he has a zip line entrance from the top of the lights to the field for that trick he gets paid 10,000 the stadium has to be at a certain occupancy to do that trick. He had the mascot's website and 5 years ago he retired and probably won't have to work for the rest of his life. If that seems crazy so do I. NFL cheerleaders need to get paid more if they want this kind of performance the Rockettes make 1500.00 a week and only work 24 weeks a year plus they get year round health insurance. If radio city can pay that much the NFL surely can.

Dancing in those boots on a grass field?? My ankles are scared😭

I would think dancing in boots from the beginning would be better so they are used to them!?

[@abigaildld]

I’m sure the DCC boots are different but when I was in drill team in hs, we didn’t practice in our boots. Our boots had no traction on the soles so you can hit those turns precisely. We practiced in our cheer shoes to really make sure he had the choreography down and prevent some injury since our cheer shoes had a bit more traction (not a lot but more than the boot) Again I’ve never worn a DCC boot. It may be a little different.

[@frommousietomouthy4991]

That means sense! Thanks!

[@Angelaaa1015]

No point paying for boots for that many girls just to cut them

[@samanthafaucette5512]

Not everyone makes the team. So if they start with idk 100 girls and only 36 make it then they’re gonna buy a ton of boots and waste a ton of them. Starting with boots at 40 people means that only 4 pairs are gonna wasted. You don’t buy the stuff before you have the team

If you can dance, the shoes are immaterial. Either you have it or you don't!

[@jenniferelyse5134]

I feel like you have to have been in certain types of training to understand this method of teaching. It’s absolutely brutal. A lot of people don’t make it. I was one of them. However I can still see how it can be valuable when what you do is so military precise. I think it also depends on how many people you’re teaching at once, after a while a lot of teachers disconnect from that personal bond with their dancers.

[@ithacacomments4811]

Wow! Such different body types from the original DC Cheerleaders.

[@savahbejin7511]

I danced on my college Pom Pom squad and we wore white boots. Looks great on the field and the kick lines are perfect with those boots. Now they wear black jazz shoes and it looks like crap. You are there to entertain the fans. Big smiles and taking pictures with little kids and even signing autographs. Being on the end of a kick line is extremely difficult.

[@williamcooper2415]

So, as this was their first time ever wearing cowgirl boots, it was my first time watching a cheerleading video, but I'm from Texas, so it's my duty to watch this team. 😎 Anyway, I really liked Rachael W right off the bat, because she has the best overall everything going for her. She has overall skin tone, athletic health, fantastic hair, sculpted Greek Goddess face, strong legs and hip union which will fill the shorts amazingly gorgeous and she's tall, which is good when you represent a state team of long, tall Texas cowboys. I mean, if Rachael W couldn't dance one step, she could still do promotion gathers and let people take pictures, because she's that Miss Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader ! If you guys want to hear the most Cowgirl song ever, then look for Lisa Moo Moo Marie here on KZbin. Be blessed always.

[@kikis.1808]

I agree and will listen to that song later!!!!

[@TamiresCaron]

Tbh I think that if a rookie doesn’t want to disappoint Kelly and Judy she should practice dancing in boots before entering the audition process... I mean how hard is to find cowboy boots online?

[@Angelaaa1015]

They’re very expensive. Not like you just grab some 50$ boots with the same weight.

[@TamiresCaron]

@@Angelaaa1015 it’s not just about the weight, but the feeling, the style of the heel. Some of this girls have never danced in boots before.

[@imnotbritishh3]

they are super expensive, plus cowboy boots are WAY different from actual dance boots. they could practice with ankle weights tho, it has the same effect.

DCC Boots are custom made by Luchesse. They are not for sale. They aren't sold in stores or online hence the reason why rookies have wait until they get to training camp to wear them.

I coached dance teams and high school for many years. I do not understand when the girls are at this level why they are having trouble with kicks and jump splits?????? My girls start competing as juniors and believe me I have zero problems with the height of their kicks and they can all jump split. I can’t believe some girls made it this far without being able to do a jump split.

They should have some old boots laying around somewhere for the new girls, so they could get kind of a feeling of them. The do not have to be personalized, it's just so they can get sort of a feeling of the weight. I feel like that would help them a lot more when they get to that stage

My guess is it could risk injury to work in boots that aren't custom-made.
