Hey Cowboys Nation!
My name is Sayla Wofford. So excited for year 2 with the Dallas Cowboys Rhythm and Blue Dance Team! There are no words to explain how grateful I am to have the opportunity to dance with so many talented dancers. To be able to say I am a part of the first Co-Ed NFL dance team for America's team is so surreal and has been a dream of mine since I was a kid.
I was born and raised in Benbrook, Texas. I have been dancing since I was 3 years old and dancing competitively since I was 8. During high school I was part of the Benbrook Emerald Line Drill Team. Senior year I was honored to serve as Captain and assistant choreographer. I graduated from Benbrook High School in 2023 and decided to chase my dreams of being a professional dancer right away and why not start at the top with the #1 sports franchise in the world, THE DALLAS COWBOYS!
Making DCRB is truly a dream come true. I hope to inspire young people to chase their dreams and realize if you work hard and believe in yourself that you can do anything! Thank you to my family, friends, and dance instructors that have taught me everything. Without them I wouldn't be where I am today.
I'm so excited to cheer on the Cowboys this season with y'all! GO COWBOYS!!!
Go Cowboys,
-Sayla
Number of years on the team: This will be my second year on the team!
Prior Dance/Entertainment Industry Experience: I have traveled the country dancing at competitions/conventions as a soloist and as a member of a group. I have taught dance since I was 16 at my studio and highschool. Self-choreographed my solos I competed. Choreographed for other soloists, and my dance teams as well!
Nicknames: My parents call me Saylor and some of my close friends call me Sayla bean :)
Hometown: I was born and raised in Benbrook, Texas.
I dance because: It's been an outlet for me since day 1. Dancing allows me to have a space to feel free and be my truest self. I've always had a hard time expressing myself and dancing truly helps me express to people how I'm feeling with my movement.
What I like to do most besides dance is: I love to workout and run on the trails by my house. I also love to hunt, fish, and play golf with my Mom and Dad.
I've always wanted to: I've always wanted to be on DCRB! 😉 I hope one day to explore more of my passion for exercising and become a Pilates Instructor or Personal Trainer!
Advice to Youngsters: My advice is to dream big and take action! There is so much you can do! You have to believe in yourself. It's okay to make mistakes along the way. Mistakes get you one step closer to your goal!
My biggest role model is: My biggest role model is my dad. He inspires me in every way possible, from his work ethic to the loving dad he is. He has shown me that through the rough times you pick yourself back up and come back 10x stronger, to never feel defeated, and fight for what you want. He is the reason why I am a hard worker and has helped me to get where I am today.
Favorite Cowboys player past or present: My parents bought me a Tony Romo jersey when I was kid, and since then he has always been my favorite player.
Favorite Performer: Beyonce is my all-time favorite performer!
Favorite Music: R&B, Hip Hop, and Latin Pop
Favorite Quotes: "Every 'no' is one step closer to yes"
"The most important thing you could know in your life is yourself" -Dad
The three guests I would invite to my fantasy dinner party are (dead or alive): Beyonce, Kobe Bryant, and Janet Jackson.
