I was curious and looked up the pay scale for professional cheerleaders, here is the dallas link:
http://www.dallascowboys.com/cheerle...ions_rules.cfm
Cheerleaders are paid $50.00 per home game.
Interesting parts:
-Cheerleaders must arrive for home games 2 - 5 hours prior to kick-off.
-Cheerleaders are required to attend all scheduled rehearsals.
-Cheerleaders are responsible for maintaining their uniform
-There are 2-5 rehearsals per week
-extra weekend rehearsals for Show Group and Rookies are required
-Cheerleaders are not compensated for rehearsals
-Cheerleaders gaining weight to an extreme are warned, then put on non-performing status, and finally terminated from the squad
I am assuming they must make much more money from personal appearances. Anyone know?
