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.

[@ramonagaerin258]

It's so great to hear Judy talk so much this season! And her hair...it always understands the assignment. Iconic Texas hair.

[@tararose9606]

Judy looks the same as she did in Season 1

[@fbueller]

So glad she finally got a chair the same height as Kelli. She always looked like she was in detention during previous seasons. LOL

Few may know this, but Alora-Rose was actually a Rockette even before becoming a dcc but had to left because she was injured

[@jocklynsquriewell160]

I don't think that's uncommon knowledge, it was mentioned last season.

[@Lizzie-ve7kt]

I think the issue isn’t that Alora Rose was auditioning at the same time for both, it was more so that she was auditioning for the rockettes the week after the final team roster is announced. By that point she actually would have known if she’d made DCC and so she can’t have the excuse of not knowing her job security at that point. I think if she had said if I don’t make this team then I do have a backup plan in mind, but if I am part of the team I guarantee my commitment and won’t attend another audition, I don’t think it was as simple as her having conflicting audition dates, it was that she wasn’t committed to DCC. I think if she’d explained to them that this was her backup plan then they wouldn’t have been as upset. To me it’s not the same as interviewing for multiple jobs at the same time, in this case it’s being offered a job, saying yes and then a week later interviewing somewhere else.

[@tiffanybrown1001]

Thanks for explaining. It sounds right to me!

Was Alora Rose a veteran dancer with DCC? Or a Rookie?

[@stephanies5658]

Loved the idea of this KZbin series. It was a great retrospective to get to know perspectives and cheerleaders!

[@michellemiller8607]

Me personally, I NEVER would have put Alora Rose on the team last year. I would have put Tori on the team. I could tell last season that Alora Roses heart was not into DCC. She only tried out because NYC was completely closed and TX was fully open. I knew she was not DCC material.

[@Lizzie-ve7kt]

OMG FINALLY someone said it! I’ve said the same exact thing. Tori was consistently one of the favorites last year and the only negative feedback she got was maybe one time on her fan kicks not having as much range of motion while Alora Rose was constantly singled out for being behind, messing up or not performing up to par, there were definitely moments where she was fun to watch but not enough to put her over Tori. I was shocked they let her through last year.

[@beautifullvega]

:(

[@michaelhiggins9791]

Thank you! I was shocked that Tori didn’t make it her first year! She was on fire!

[@BIGBOYMATD]

Alora Rose was last years Meredith... lots of more talented girls got cut to make room for her since she's pretty. Good luck with Rockettes though.

[@BIGBOYMATD]

@@Mariegilbert12345 she did not.

[@heatherramsey9190]

Meredith was a great dancer - Wonderfully trained but her style of dance did not suit the organization. Meredith was also one of the sweetest girls to be on this show. Quite frankly I'd rather it be her than some of the cookie cutter personalities on the squad this year.

[@lmjcm]

Plum is THEE color for Kelli! She looks good in every color, but plum is gorgeous on her!

[@natalieh8023]

And her makeup is always stunning

[@NoaNoir]

Also, some of you all are in the comments comparing it to going on different job interviews, saying it's reasonable for Alora Rose to weigh her options. Lol that's not what she was doing, if she'd made Rockettes she was going to leave DCC, that is the ONLY reason to audition. Different job interviews would be going to job A and job B and telling them you have different offers and seeing who will offer you the most money & perks. DCC & Rockettes contracts are fixed, Alora Rose wasn't going to bargain between them, she was going back to the Rockettes.

[@kerteeveeyuh]

Exactly she probably should of stayed in Dallas at least she’d have a job ..(she’s not a rockettes.. she’s doing something similar but it’s not what she left for )

[@victoriabardsley8097]

I can't wait to watch them announce the team! That's a moment I look forward to every season!

[@lancelotyu1638]

on Alora-Rose, DCC seems to demand commitment and professionalism yetb thet are poorly compensated in comparison. its easy to understand why the rockettes would be attractive = fulltime dancing at fulltime salaries. DCC - lots of hours at low rates, especially if you dont make show group.I heard Randy, the DC mascot makes $70k a year. This seems a reasonable base salary for DCC. Considering theCowboys are approx worth $4bn, this is chump change!

[@ellingtonfeint13]

I noticed that as well, the DCC expect full-time commitment with less than minimum wage pay. That’s not acceptable period.

[@deniseflygirl]

I agree wholeheartedly. Even with the pay raise they received after a court case, these ladies are still underpaid.

[@slenaarts]

I don’t really see it as a commitment to Kelli and Judy, but I think it is not collegial to the other girls who are working so hard to get on the team. Especially when the audition is after the team announcement and someone has been cut in her place.

[@nylotus]

@@slenaarts but that's life... it's no different than interviewing for jobs and getting multiple offers and then deciding. Are you only going to interview for 1 job because you're concerned that you make take a job from someone else. That's absurd.

[@slenaarts]

@@nylotus Going to an interview and moving to Dallas for multiple weeks and already working with the team is something different in my opinion, but I definitely get where you are coming from.

[@khloekloset3645]

I can't help but feel A-R tried out for DCC as something to cross off her bucket list more than anything else. Compare this to some TCC's who give up jobs, careers to focus on making and staying with the team for as long as they can dance. Let's see if any other high profile dance team gives A-R an opportunity to join them after this.

[@BIGBOYMATD]

exactly, there is an unspoken code in the dance world that you don't leave a team on bad terms, and this was nationally televised. Stupid choice on her part.

[@EmVee.]

She only audition because it was the only open dance job that was open at the time

[@kendraowen2841]

LOL ... why is this any different than any other job? You don't send a resume for one and then sit around and wait for them to reply .... or fail too altogether. LOL Yes ... we demand that you have absolutely no other commitment or anything while we are going to pay you thousands of dollars less a year that the fool who wears that stupid cowboy outfit. Maybe you will make into the double digits with us!! Whatever ... anyway ... hmmmf .. to answer your smart@ss question ... yes ... she did get "another opportunity to join another high profile dance team". The Rockettes ... who actually pay dancers.

[@khloekloset3645]

Not only did Alora Rose make a bad decision.. it was also inconsiderate.. She shouldn’t have even auditioned this season if New York has her heart.. someone else who really wants it could have been invited to training camp. Just glad they found out before the final squad announcement.

[@mrsamaziin]

Alora Rose knows that this is a tough auditioning process. Like with any job if it's a competitive market you always have to have a back-up plan because if she were to get cut this season before they found out, Then she wouldn't have had a job. I think who ever told on her was jealous that she had options.

I really hope they continue to stick to the high standards that have been setup to make DCC what it continues to be.

[@gretabranikova1752]

I disagree with many of the comments about A-R. No one is discussing their salaries. We ALL know how underpaid they are. Hence why this is not the main income for most of them. The question is about integrity. If she wanted to go back because she was not satisfied financially - great. Make a statement, grow some b*lls and leave. But nooo - “I don’t want to waste your time”… now that you found out the truth. This right there shows your personality and dependability.

[@deniseflygirl]

I would love it generally if the candidates would stand up to K&J, although difficult since they have control over their this part of their future. AR should have said I really like & respect DCC, but the trying out for Rockettes is a great opportunity I couldn’t turn down financially & professionally. Also when rookies get called out on social media (depending on what it is), I would love to hear “That is an adult enjoying a legal drink with friends celebrating after a lot of hard work.” Or something along those lines. But they would likely get the ax, Lol.

[@gretabranikova1752]

@@deniseflygirl I agree with that to a point. What I am trying to say is that if us here, who are not applying are aware how underpaid they are, then so are the women who do. Why go and take someone else's place when you know in advance that the conditions do not satisfy you? Additionally, everyone is talking how someone betrayed her. How do we know that? The dancing world is close-knitted. We will never know who told them. It may not be one of the candidates. Not to mention that Jacie is a Rockette so here is another connection and somone who could potentially have received that information. As per the social media - I mean everyone has fun different ways. I don't think flipping anyone is my type but hey ho... That being said, I assume they have clauses in their contracts about those as well.

[@EmVee.]

People need to realize that DCC is a job, plain and simple. When you apply for a job your boss expects full commitment. K&J aren't made that she wants to be a rockette, they are mad that she didnt made the decision earlier to leave

@@EmVee.I don’t fully commit to any job, big or small, unless I’m the one who owns the company. Everyone is replaceable so you have to look out for yourself. It’s absolutely important to be a dependable employee with a good attitude who always offers to help out others, but your boss will kick you to the curb to save their own behind at a moment’s notice. The only thing Alora Rose did wrong was get caught. Remember: be polite and professional, keep your mouth shut about anything that can get you in trouble and always keep your options open.

[@samantha1587]

I get it Alora-Rose was not the best last year's training camp but did anyone see the fact that when they first had the group to over she was on top of that list. I think she was good in the year that we don't see unless you are there. But I do get both sides if she knew she wanted to go home then she should not have stayed. However, they also don't really have a say in that matter.

Really, after nine weeks of a ten-week camp and two weeks before the first game? Put it like this: Imagine a linebacker for the Cowboys goes through OTA’s, mini-camps, and training camps, and looks to be making the Cowboys….when word gets back to the coaching staff that this player is actively looking to try out with, say, the Packers. When confronted, the LB says yes, he was going to try out with the Packers in two weeks. What do you think the Cowboys head coach would do? Likely the same thing-that player is outta here, either by coaches cutting him or him leaving.

[@Diana-yk7sp]

@@2themoon863 Well said. I do think O-R was absolutely wasting their time. I'm not sure why she was considering the Rockettes. Maybe she thought she might not make the team but if it was hypothetically a matter of "pay".....then why even try out for the team? It's no secret that the DCC's do not make much of a salary. That's not Kelli's fault. I'm sure she would love to see the DCC's get paid a decent salary but at this point it's more for the privilege of serving on a legendary team, the sisterhood, the uniform, etc. I could go on and on but if I genuinely wanted to be a DCC, I would be completely focused on making it on the team. Period.

[@BIGBOYMATD]

I'm torn, Because yes, it is normal to apply for multiple jobs then decide which one will be a good fit, but I also see how Judy and Kelly would be annoyed because she tooks someone spot in training camp. Apparently she didn't make Rockettes, so now she has no DCC or Rockettes. Her choices definitely bit her in the end.

I am very surprised that the girls are not contractually signed. Even during the initial auditions. The reason being is that they could have other reasons for trying out like, e.g. hey, I know the routine that is being taught to the DCC girls - Would you like to see it 😁?

[@LucyLighthearted]

It was obvious that AR preferred The Rockettes over the DCC and that's why they were so mad. She would have left the team after 8 weeks of training camp and several cuts of other girls who really wanted the spot. If she was serious about being a DCC, she would have not brought it up because she either would have been a. on the squad, therefore no need to audition for The Rockettes or b. not on the squad and therefore free to audition elsewhere. They were ready to put her on the team, but if she would have gotten The Rockettes, she would have left them.

I checked out the Rockettes and they do something called eye high kicks. I think DCC kicks r higher and in heavy boots

I support Alora Rose wanting to go back to NY. Dallas is a bore (I've lived in both cities) and the Rockette organization is far more elite. The majority of DCCs would never make it past the first round of Rockette auditions and I think Kelly needs to realize that and stop saying that is the toughest audition in the world. That just isn't true. What she did is no different than going on multiple job interviews and deciding between two offers. They act like it was the end of the world lol... I'm pretty sure they contacted the Rockettes as well and that's why she didn't make the team. She shouldn't have said anything to her teammates. That "sisterhood" is a joke and they snitched on her so quick. Let's not forget DCC had to be sued by one of their own due to the mistreatment of their dancers and underpaying them. I used to love the show but Kelly and Judy really need a reality check.

They do not, they only receive pay for their practices and dcc events. These poor girls don’t even get money from the sponsorships the team gets. They are seriously being screwed over with how much the cheerleaders brand is worth

[@fbueller]

@@alyssasumption3644 This is horrible since DCC leadership must make participation in the reality show a requirement for team consideration. Judy and Kelli should fix this!

[@KellytheChiro]

I feel like it may have been on Robins channel that they talked about what they get paid for.

Ava is great! Massive mistake not picking her

[@EmVee.]

For every Ava are 3 other great dancer so I doubt it is a mistake

[@summerbellewaters9576]

I really dislike Kellie and Judy for airing out Alora-rose business on the show. That did not have to be aired, now look at what’s going to happen when she’s auditions for high class dancing jobs. What Alora did was no different from anyone applying to different jobs and going through a couple interviews procedures. The girls don’t get paid enough for how much they are expected to do so I truly respect Alora’s decision. Although I wouldn’t be surprised if they made a few calls to decline her spot on the rockettes.

[@EmVee.]

Lol Alora knows what she signed up for. And Kelli and Judy aren't annoyed that she decided to audition for the Rockettes, they are annoyed that she waited until the end of week 9 to "tell" them. Thr Rockettes auditions would take place after TC so if she made the team, them what?. AR messed up and these are the qonsequences. And Rockettes didnt take her bake because she simply wasn't good enough. She was a rockette in the 2017-2018 season and even Jacie Scott said that she took a year of to prepare for her audition

@@EmVee. You said a lot of information I wasn’t aware. That actually makes sense, thank you for your comment.

@@summerbellewaters9576 No problem!

[@gracepatton1763]

Is it true that Kelli and Judy gave a bad word about Alora Rose to the Rockettes directors during the audition process and that's why she didn't make it back on the Rockettes?

[@amytompkins3401]

Get over yourself Kellie. I think she would of told you . I think she liked both. If you can go to the Rockets I would run at at the chance.

[@EmVee.]

Lol no way she wouldn't have told them 😂

[@BIGBOYMATD]

lol, well now she's not a DCC OR Rockette, so tell us again how smart her choice was?

Ava should've made the team.

[@sherrisRN]

I want to know!! Does AVA get cut? I’ve think she should.

[@BIGBOYMATD]

yup.

[@Mariej123]

Rockettes make more, DCC gets robbed

[@ms.roberta8305]

I 100% believe Alora-Rose never WANTED to be a DCC in the first place. She used it (as Julia wanted also) to utilize DCC as a stepping stone for her future career in dance. Shameful.

[@selenalmartinez]

I feel the exact same. That was the vibe I got from her last season. Definitely messed up to continue to string everyone else along especially while cuts were already being made. Seems like she just wanted stay to see if she made it or not so she’d still have dcc to bounce back on in case she didn’t make it.

[@sintara8442]

I really dont see whats wrong with that, as long as she does well and stays the year

[@ms.roberta8305]

@@sintara8442 When THOUSANDS apply and hundreds of girls audition for DCC and you get one who never wanted it, you don’t see a problem? To some it is their ultimate dream.

Alora-Rose auditioned for both DCC & The Rockettes & didn’t make either of them which is hilarious! I’m glad she was cut! Bye traitor!

[@sjh3350]

Talk about a show that just rips on womans body image

[@starscotten]

Alora Rose was an idiot, and got greedy. ANY job that requires an extremely strict audition process, like the Rockettes and the DCC, requires you to do only ONE of them at a time. You do NOT break that unwritten natural law, under ANY circumstances, and that's what Alora Rose did. The smarter play for Alora Rose would've been to go through the DCC, and if she got cut from the DCC (or after the NFL season is over, if she makes it back), THEN she can audition for the Rockettes in New York, and NEVER come back to Dallas (unless the Rockettes are on tour there).
