The MLS season is under way and we want to thank FC Dallas Girls Director and good friend of this site Tamara Jenkins for sharing some photos of her 2012 squad. FC Dallas opened the season on March 11 and introduced a few new FCDG as well as some familiar faces. Several dancers from the Dallas Cowboys Rhythm & Blue Dance Team are on the team this season.

FC Dallas Dancers: Who will be selected?

Tonight is a big night for a group of Dallas area dancers. It’s finals night for the FC Dallas Dancers. I hear from the team’s director Tamara Jenkins that there was an excellent turnout for open calls, despite the ridiculous weather.

In the past two weeks, these ladies have experienced a lot and they are fully invested. They’ve been through prelims, interviews, and training camp. They’ve had a chance to work with super talented guest choreographer Roger Lee. They’ve also received pointers on their hair and makeup from representatives from Toni & Guy. They’re as ready as they can get. (And I bet they’re pretty sore too.) Tonight the final 19 will be pared down to 12-16. Good luck, ladies!

The team will be announced tomorrow. In the mean time, check out what they’ve been up to so far. We’ve got some behind the scenes photos and the first two videos in their audition series. (James posted part 1 a few days ago, so you may have already seen it.)
