America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders has shed light on some of the world-famous entertainers that are a part of the Dallas Cowboys organization, like Victoria Kalina. Victoria, who was a legacy member of the squad, had a lot of pressure to live up to during the time she was being documented on America’s Sweethearts, but it appeared that a lot of that pressure was something she was putting upon herself. For Victoria and the rest of the veteran candidates for the 2023-2024 Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, the process of making the squad was only the beginning of their difficult, exhilarating journey.
While America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders is the most recent documentary foray into the organization, the DCC has been followed for years on their own reality TV series. CMT’s Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making The Team has been a major part of the organization in recent years, and Victoria is one of the few cheerleaders who was able to appear in both series. The younger years of Victoria’s time as a DCC were documented on the original show, and with America’s Sweethearts giving a whole new side of Victoria to the world, many have wondered what her life looks like afterwards.
Victoria Auditioned For The Rockettes But Wasn’t Selected
She Took A Chance
Victoria is working hard on her post-Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders life, and even though she auditioned for The Rockettes but wasn’t chosen, she’s got a great attitude. It’s better to try and fail than never try at all. By taking chances, she’s really pushing herself. She can always try again. Sometimes, when it comes to the dance world, more than one attempt is needed – people who’ve been rejected can succeed later on, if they’re lucky and apply feedback. There’s no shame in not making the cut when it’s such an elite group – there’s only so many spots for everyone. Victoria wrote:
✨SPECTACULAR✨ If I had to give a word for the past 10 months living in my dream city – that would be it. Spectacular moments, spectacular friends and people all around, spectacular dancing and a spectacular experience to keep the momentum going🎄🫶🏼 This year is a ‘not now’ for the Rockettes but I can’t wait to continue to push this next year and continue to see what other spectacular things unravel in this magical city🤩 Cheers to all who have supported me on this new journey into the big apple 🍎 I love y’all!💕🥰 #newyorkcity #radiocity #rockettes #christmas #bigapple #dance #dancer #spectacular #love
Victoria seems to be grateful for the life she’s living. She talked about the Big Apple and how she’s been there for close to a year. The city that never sleeps is her dream location, and as a New York City resident, she’s making the most of her days and nights. She posts content online, and currently has 459K followers. She’s bubbly, she’s not negative – maybe she’s not a Rockette, but the fact that she’s open about not having a perfect life makes her endearing.
As an influencer, Victoria’s really got something – she’s able to effortlessly connect with followers whose lives aren’t perfect either. It’s her vulnerability and eternal hopefulness that make her stand out. There’s more to this former cheerleader than blonde hair and a tan – a lot more. She gets real about life in a gentle way – for example, she’ll show herself in a hairdresser’s chair, settling in for another round of blonde highlights – Victoria doesn’t feel the need to be perfect at all times. With her great personality, she is bound to go far.
What Victoria Kalina’s Up To Now
After a tough season on America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders season 1, Victoria shared in her final moments on camera that she planned to retire from the squad and move on with her life. Though she’d fought for her spot and hoped that she could move into a squad leader position in the next year, the feedback she got at the end of the season wasn’t positive enough for her to want to continue. After the NFL season came to an end, Victoria decided to try something new and moved to New York City, leaving her Texas roots behind.
While Victoria appears to have a blog she enjoys posting on and an Instagram account to keep her followers updated on her life, her primary mode of social media is TikTok. Victoria does use her Instagram, especially the stories feature, in order to interact with her followers and share what’s going on in her life. Mostly, though, Victoria is a TikTok creator who shares all her life updates, big and small, on the app. Making it a point to share both Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader content and videos about her mental, physical, and spiritual health, Victoria can be found at @victoriakalina5678.
Fun Facts About Victoria Kalina
Victoria, whose birthday is October 27, identifies with her zodiac sun sign, Scorpio. Driven and hard-working, Victoria’s work ethic had a dual motivation as she was happy to be on the squad for herself and her mother, Tina Kalina, another former Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader. While Victoria and her mother are close, there was an element of her time as a DCC that was for her mother. Both shared it was their dream for Tina to see Victoria as a DCC. Although her time with the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders has come to an end, Victoria’s life is only just getting started.
