Former Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader (D.C.C.) Caroline Sunvold opens up about the challenges and allure of being a part of the iconic cheerleading squad in a new series that delves into the world of the D.C.C.
In the series, Sunvold, who has undergone hip and knee surgery in her 20s, reflects on her time as a D.C.C. and the impact it has had on her life. Despite the physical toll it took on her body, Sunvold admits that she misses the team dearly and describes the D.C.C. as a “mythical, magical world” that is hard to leave once you’re a part of it.
The series also highlights the traditional values and femininity promoted by the D.C.C., with cheerleading being portrayed as a celebration of others’ success. Sunvold even offers audition coaching to her younger sister, who is overjoyed to follow in her footsteps and make the team.
The show explores the deep-rooted family traditions within the D.C.C., with several women whose mothers also cheered for the squad decades ago remaining deeply invested in the organization. The emphasis on altruism, tradition, and Christian faith is evident throughout the series, showcasing the dancers’ dedication to serving others and giving glory to God.
Despite the bombshell look and provocative dance moves associated with the D.C.C., the series raises questions about the dichotomy between upholding traditional values and embracing a more sensual image. The title “America’s sweethearts” reflects the squad’s commitment to maintaining a wholesome image, even as they perform in revealing outfits and execute seductive routines.
Overall, the series offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, shedding light on the complexities and contradictions that come with being a part of this iconic squad.
