TUCSON, Ariz. (13 News) - It’s a full-circle moment for one professional cheerleader.
Chandi McCright is returning to her Tucson roots after years of cheerleading for the Dallas Cowboys.
McCright’s career has earned her a feature on Netflix’s ‘America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders,’ but her next chapter will be dedicated to helping young women at the University of Arizona pursue dreams of their own.
“It’s so amazing to watch these girls just blossom as dancers and humans,” Chandi said.
As the newly appointed Assistant Coach of the Arizona Pom Line, she brings a wealth of experience, having spent four years on the team herself, including as both Co-Captain and Captain.
Her passion for dance began in Tucson, where her mom enrolled her in her first class at just three years
