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.

The fact that they tried to convince her not to retire says a lot

I would like to see kelli’s, Judy and kitty’s journey. It also would be nice to know what the veterans are doing today after leaving DCC please!!!

Jinelle is absolute class. She knows when yo quit before her performance starts to slip. It’s better for fans to remember you as a top performer than as a performer losing the edge!!

[bergercookie]

What a complete class act Jinel was !!!! She put her heart and soul into the team and was always so professional. She represented the team so well . It was truly her destiny!

I love love love how this channel listens to their audience!!

I can’t believe they don’t let the retirees keep their boots!!! Those girls earn their poms and boots!

I love how her hair got bigger and bigger through the video 😂❤️ that’s the Texas look!

I would love to see more full-length performances from the DCC! There aren't very many high quality performances of theirs online, and it would be a great way to honor these amazing dancers!

I’ve never thought of Jinelle as one of the strongest dancers but her dedication to the team, and being an amazing example of a great DCC make her so memorable.

Oh Jinelle.. wow that girl was awesome! Wish she could continue forever, if there was a dream squad she'd be on there definitely

[MrCheerleader-qdhm]

Love love LOVE Jinelle!!! I’ve been a fan of her from the very beginning!! That accent and genuine smile is so contagious! Thank you for letting us relive her journey and hope she is doing well today.

jinelle is definitely one of my favorite cheerleaders who have been on the team. she’s supportive, hard worker, kind to others, and so much more. she was so strong and confident even though she had some tough challenges throughout the seasons, but luckily she had a lot of supportive people around her to help her through it.

I was so excited when I seen Jinelle was being featured!! She is my all time favorite DCC!! She is so beautiful inside and out. I love her and wish her much success and happiness in her life.

[dr.natterman]

Wow they begged her to stay, never seen that. She really draws people in.

Can we see “Best of Point” video? I know you won’t let us down 😃

It's mad how much these girls put into dcc even before they make the squad yet get paid so little. They deserve more respect and be treated like the athletes they are

4:58 ...he asked for permission to touch her hair 😭😭

[burnerbaby]

LOL that hairstylist that wanted to cut her hair did not know what the hell she was talking about 😂

[TinaMariaJeanette]

Jinelle has the full package, a true star as a dancer, good teammate and smart too:-)

[daisyylc]

Jinelle is THE sweetest person ever! She has such a kind soul and will forever be my favorite DCC!!
