Reece Weaver Reveals Her Post-Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders Plans

Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders' Reece Weaver Shares Truth Behind Her Retirement

Now that Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders standout Reece Weaver has officially hung up her star-spangled vest, she's not entirely sure what she has coming.

In her perfect world, though, she's gonna rouge her knees and roll her stockings down and all that jazz.

"That's always been my dream," she shared of her Broadway ambitions in an exclusive interview with E! News. "I went to a performing arts middle school and high school, so I was the bun head. I was being classically trained in all sorts of genres, all styles, and just fell in love with wanting to perform on a stage."

At the University of Alabama, however, she ran a new route, auditioning for the dance team, noted the 24-year-old, "Which led me to DCC."

But now that she's landed her final jump split, making the choice to retire after three seasons on the field and in Netflix's America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, "I want to go back to my roots and my upbringing in dance," Weaver continued, "and I think that involves taking the next step of wanting to be on Broadway. We'll see!"

And she's eyeing a whoopee spot where the gin is cold and the piano's hot.

"I feel like Chicago would be one, because of the Fosse style," she explained of the long-running show that's featured Ariana Madix, Pamela Anderson and Kandi Burruss. "I mean, that's just classic and so, so iconic."

Though she dreams of slipping into lead Roxie Hart's fishnets ("It'd be a very different personality that I would have to portray, which would be a fun challenge"), Weaver is also a fan of "dance-heavy shows" like & Juliet or Just in Time, admitting, "I also would love to just be, like, a tree in the background and say I've been on Broadway."

As the Florida native put it, "If Broadway calls, I will definitely take that call."

And you won't catch her sending Disney producers to voicemail, either.

Though she and husband of two years Will Allman moved back to Alabama shortly after she turned in her Lucchese boots this past March, she could definitely be convinced to make a detour to the Dancing With the Stars ballroom.

In fact, she acknowledged, "people have been speculating," after she posted about seeing pro Mark Ballas and his season 32 partner Whitney Leavitt in Chicago this past April and then meeting judge Derek Hough.

"That is probably my favorite show," Weaver admitted. "I was raised on that show growing up. My mom and I would always vote every single week. So, I mean, I would love to, and I think it's every dancer's dream to want to be on that show."

And since it takes two to tango and foxtrot and cha-cha, she'd love to be paired up with Val Chmerkovskiy, Alan Bersten, Brandon Armstrong or the Traitors alum. "He's just so amazing," Weaver gushed of Ballas, "and his brain is so inspiring, just the way that he creates and storytells."

As for her story, "I am currently working on a book," Weaver revealed. And while she can't outline too many details, she hinted, "I think the importance of mentorship is vital, and I really want to pour into the next generation of young women. I think that we always struggle with identity and what our purpose is, and so hopefully this will inspire people."

While Weaver acknowledged that it may seem like a surprising next chapter for her, "In high school, we, as seniors, wrote down what we see ourselves doing in the next 10 years," she explained. "And one of them was DCC, one was writing a book, and one was auditioning for Broadway. Those were my biggest dreams."

And as she kicks off a new season of life, "I just want to encourage people to be bold enough to take that leap," Weaver shared. "It's scary because I'm currently in that right now, but there's so much more outside for everyone."

As for what it was like to be huddled up with her squad for three seasons, allow these DCC secrets to leave you feeling thunderstruck.
