The Dallas Cowboys introduced the Rhythm and Blue, a high-energy co-ed dance team and drum corps, in 2009. The Rhythm and Blue brings a refreshingly innovative, unique and exciting element to the Cowboys legendary game-day entertainment line-up. The talented group of men and women who make up "DCRB" entertain audiences from around the world as they enter the plazas of AT&T Stadium before each game. After every Cowboys score during the game, the Rhythm and Blue Dancers & Drumline dazzle fans with captivating celebration performances. The Rhythm and Blue Dancers were conceptualized under the direction of Dallas Cowboys Executive Vice President/Chief Brand Officer Charlotte Jones. It is the first and only entertainment concept of its kind in the National Football League.
The Dallas Cowboys Rhythm and Blue is a two-part entertainment entity. The percussion troop drumline masters the rhythm and the dance team moves the spirit of Cowboys Nation true blue. Music from cutting edge drum cadences and dynamic routines featuring a strong level of breakdancing and hip-hop based movement combine to form an electrifying fan favorite! In the short period of time since its inception, the remarkably high level of performances and choreography has garnered DCRB national attention and prestige. Inside Dance Magazine and notable industry insiders say that DCRB is changing the face of sports entertainment! The group has been showcased at international competitions and has been requested to appear at both charity and corporate appearances in the DFW metroplex, Texas, New Mexico, Las Vegas, Nevada and Panama City, Panama, and has most garnered national acclaim with their "Back to Football" halftimes featuring the Kinjaz & Super Cr3w from NBC's hit television show, "World of Dance."
In 2017, the Dallas Cowboys Rookie Squad, a dynamic and energetic kid crew under the DCRB umbrella, was introduced to fans at AT&T Stadium.
