Making The Team Season 16 Release Date And Cast

If you've been eagerly awaiting the upcoming season of "Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making the Team," you really don't have to wait much longer. Season 16 will premiere on CMT on Friday, September 17, 2021. 

CMT released a press release about the upcoming season, noting that it will truly be a unique experience. This time around, the competition is stiffer than its ever been before. As the release notes, "With more auditions and contestants than ever before, the competition is stiff and the pressure remains at an all-time high as the candidates work to perfect new technically-challenging routines to impress longtime coaches Kelli Finglass (Director of Cheerleading) and Judy Trammell (DCC Head Choreographer) to earn an esteemed spot on the field."

Even though the process can be intense, the cheerleaders are truly in the best hands with Finglass and Trammell. As Finglass told Amstar, she knows exactly what they are going through. "Well, it's a whirlwind. It's a very busy lifestyle; a fabulous collection of friends and dancers and athletes. For performers it's really a dream come true to be able to perform and dance, and then you mix that with the NFL and it's an amazing experience. The best part is probably the close friendships that develop through the camaraderie of the travels and the locker room."
