Victoria Kalina On America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders
In a documentary series titled America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, Netflix revealed “the personal stories behind the uniforms, revealing the ambition and drive shared by the cheerleaders and their coaches through the 2023–24 season.” Victoria Kalina, a fourth-year veteran candidate when the show was filmed for the previous season, was one of its stars. Victoria, a fitness and dance instructor, is a second-generation DCC.
Over the course of the six episodes, Victoria opens up about the difficulties she overcame to fulfill her childhood dream of cheering for the Cowboys squad and is upfront about how being a cheerleader has affected her relationship with her body and mental health.
Talking about her experience filming the show, Victoria told TIME, “It was absolutely amazing. The director Greg (Whiteley) and all of the crew were absolutely amazing. And I’m just so thankful for the opportunity to have been a part of it.”
One of the biggest surprises of the season was also given by Kalina, who said in the series finale that she would not be joining the cheer squad for a fifth season.
“I truly didn’t know walking into that first meeting. I had full intentions on coming back, doing a fifth year, wanting to go back, still wanting to give more to the organization and to DCC. That ending meeting made me feel that Kellie and Judy—I don’t know how to explain it. I felt as though, no matter what I did, I was never going to ride that career ladder,” spoke on her choice to leave the team.
She added, “As a performer or any other job, you always want to strive to be better and I know that I didn’t want to spend another year being the same. I would love to do nothing but perform because that is my ultimate dream. My ultimate passion is performing. But I also would have liked to have known whether or not I was going to be moving on, so when I didn’t get that specific answer is when I was really like, ‘okay, I want to put my energy and techniques somewhere else.'”
Talking about her time as a cheerleader, Victoria added, “It’s okay to be you, not everyone is going to love it. Some people are going to love it Some people are gonna hate it Some people are gonna vibe with it. And that’s okay. You just need to know that what you’re doing and that that’s where you’re at and where you should be. And if you love it that much and you love it fully, make sure that you are happy there and that it’s filling up your tank.”

In 2024, Victoria Kalina’s estimated net worth is under $500 thousand. When Victoria was just eighteen years old, she participated in her first training camp. She did not, however, make the cut.

The cheerleader spent every summer at Camp DCC and was raised close to DCC. She advanced to junior DCC status.
“Watching and learning from the DCC as a little girl, I knew I wanted to be a DCC because I loved the sparkle of the iconic uniform and getting to dance with pom poms,” her cheer bio reads. “As I got older, I began to see how they made a difference in the lives of others — USO tours, hospital visits, nursing homes, waving to fans at the games, being a positive role model, etc and I knew I loved the organization even more.”
