Professional cheerleading takes hard work, determination and nerves of steel as the new crop of recruits quickly finds out in the second season of CMT’s DALLAS COWBOYS CHEERLEADERS: MAKING THE TEAM. CMT’s eight-episode series reveals all the behind-the-scenes action of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleading try-outs as girls struggle to make the team, survive boot camp and make their big debut as one of the most famous cheerleaders in America.

Each summer, over one thousand hopefuls descend upon Texas Stadium with the same goal of becoming one of the few chosen to don the famous blue and white uniforms. DALLAS COWBOYS CHEERLEADERS: MAKING THE TEAM captures the contenders from preliminary auditions, through training camp and tearful cuts, where the cheerleading hopefuls must master the signature kick-line and intricate dance routines in order to advance. Finglass, Jay Johnson, the hardcore fitness instructor and Judy Trammell, team choreographer, don’t mince words as they test each individual for the physical and mental stamina required to make the team.
