Dallas Cowboys Rhythm & Blue
This season, the Dallas Cowboys added the Rhythm & Blue Dancers to their game day entertainment package. The ladies on the dance team were originally members of the Dallas Desperados Dancers (DDD). Unfortunately, the Arena Football League folded over the summer, and that left the DDD out of a job, or so they thought. As it turned out, the dance team was retained and reincarnated as the Dallas Cowboys Rhythm & Blue Dancers. They perform at every Cowboys home game. (Cowboys owner Jerry Jones also owned the Desperados, so the sharing makes sense.)
Now- as some of you may know – the Arena Football League is back. Its assets were purchased by a group of investors and the league renamed Arena Football One. (Same difference, if you ask me, but what do I know?) The inaugural season begins in April, with 15 franchises, one of which will be based in Dallas. The team may or may not be called The Desperados – those legalities haven’t been worked out yet.
My question is what – if anything – does this mean for Rhythm & Blue? Do they trade those silver suits for their old DDD costumes? My guess is no. I’m basing this on NO information whatsoever, but I expect they Cowboys will keep the Cowboys Cheerleaders and the Rhythm & Blue, and the new arena football team will hire a new troop of dancers.
But just in case Rhythm & Blue does go away, here’s a look at what they’ve been up to this season.
