Although the weeklydcc.net and blackdcc.net websites are gone, the Five Year Club lives on. For those who don’t know, the Five Year Club is that exclusive group of Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders who cheer for at least five seasons. Every year the club gets new members and this season is no exception.
2016 brings a new trio to the mix. Danielle Marie, Jenna Lene and Jessica Marie are the senior members of this year’s squad. It is so difficult to make the DCC team, but making it five times? That deserves a tribute. So the following is a salute to each deserving lady.
DANIELLE MARIE
From the rookie with the big, beautiful eyes to respected veteran, that’s how Danielle’s DCC career has blossomed. The Jersey Girl had over 20 years dance experience before moving to the Dallas area to try out for the Sweethearts. She went from being heavily criticized by DCC Technical Coach Kitty Carter to being one of the elder stateswomen on the squad, looked up to by the newer members of the team. Her star has risen so high that she was the cover girl of the 2015 Dallas Cowboys Star Mag Swimsuit Edition. To top if off, she is a now a Group Leader, the highest honor for a DCC (other than the Pro Bowl). Here’s to a great 2016-17 season, Danielle.
JENNA LENE 
Every year the DCC travel overseas to entertain the troops. One of the most popular spots is South Korea where Jenna Lene’s family was stationed five years ago when the DCC made their annual Christmas trip. The “military brat” was a cheerleader who attended a Camp DCC. She was so mesmerized by the ladies in blue stars and crystals that she made the trip back to the U.S. to audition for the world renowned squad. The California native made the team her rookie year, propelled herself to Second Group Leader in her fourth season and is now Group Leader in her fifth. She is also a member of the vaunted Show Group which means she now makes those trips to Korea (and many other places) where she can hopefully inspire another girl to live her dreams as the DCC once did for her. Jenna’s story is a great one. May year five be as sweet as the rest.
JESSICA MARIE
Several women try out for the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders after cheering for other pro teams. Jessica is no exception. She was a dancer for the NBA’s Indiana Pacers before auditioning her way into the coveted DCC boots. The accountant and graduate of Indiana State University made the team and hasn’t looked back since. Now in her fifth season, she is one of the most prominent members on the team, a Show Group member and a Group Leader. Kudos to the Iowa native and may the 2016-17 season be a cheerful one.
CHEERS!!!
