Amy Andrus is currently in her second season as a member of the Dallas Cowboys Rhythm & Blue Dancers presented by Miller Lite, the NFL’s first and only co-ed hip hop professional dance team in the NFL.
She began dancing at the age of three with ballet, tap and jazz and started competitive dancing in junior high which led to her opening up her style to incorporating hip hop and pom routines. In high school, she continued with competitive dance as well as joining the school’s drill team and her dance studio team. While the drill team was more military in style with strict placement, the studio team was more imaginative and involved choreographing artistic and stylized routines for the purpose of competition.
Amy began her college career at Kilgore for the purpose of becoming one of the famed Kilgore Rangerettes and then transferred to Southern Methodist University where she was on the SMU Pom Squad. Her professional sports dance career began with a two-year stint as a member of the Allen Americans Ice Angels before she made the Dallas Cowboys Rhythm & Blue Dancers.
Amy was kind enough to join me for a few moments to discuss her time with the Dallas Cowboys Rhythm & Blue Dancers.
