NFL Cheer/Dancers
*Carolina Panther Girls*:
"The Top Cats, the Carolina Panthers Cheerleaders, help cheer the Panthers to victory and entertain fans at every home game at Bank of America Stadium. A group of 35 women, the
Top Cats represent all regions of the Carolinas and range in age from 19 to 35 years old. Their careers are in a variety of distinguished professions, including banking, engineering and teaching.
Auditions for the Top Cats are a comprehensive and intense process. The final squad members are chosen based on their personalities, showmanship, dance skills and physical fitness.
The Top Cats are visible throughout the Carolinas at corporate appearances and charitable events. With a variety of music selections and dance styles, the
Top Cats appeal to Carolina Panthers fans of all ages."
*Dallas Desperado Dancers*:
"The Dancers' uniform, like the dance team, had to be both dynamic and original while still functional for performing. The designer was a young woman by the name of Terra Watson who just happened to be a former five-year Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader (1995-2000). Ms. Watson drew her inspiration for the uniforms by imagining the Desperados Dancer as a kind of western styled Superhero... perhaps a Wonder Woman of the West.
The final uniform design includes a sparkling, crystal studded royal blue and black halter top with western styled white piping, matching shorts, fringed gauntlets for the wrists, a custom designed star belt buckle covered in Austrian crystals and, of course, the black sequined chaps. Depending upon the performance or appearance, the uniform is worn with black and silver
Sketchers, black go-go boots or black western boots."
*Denver Broncos Cheerleaders*:
"In 2004, the 34 members of the Denver Broncos Cheerleading squad divided more than 1,100 hours of civic involvement among 85 Colorado organizations. Many associations, from Craig Hospital to the Race for the Cure, were visited by members of last year's team. For the upcoming season, the squad will continue to promote community involvement as its number one commitment.
Also in 2004, members of the Denver Broncos Cheerleaders visited military bases in Egypt and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, with a traveling 90-minute show to boost the morale of the troops and thank them for their service to our country. In April 2005, three Broncos Cheerleaders along with five players
traveled to Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington, D.C., to visit soldiers who have been injured in the war in Iraq. The Broncos Cheerleaders are committed to helping the U.S. military and are honored to be able to thank them on behalf of the Denver Broncos.
Entering their 13th season, the Denver Broncos Cheerleaders are one of the premier teams in the National Football League.
The Broncos Cheerleaders are selected through auditions held each spring. In 2005, 350 women tried out for the 34 available positions. Auditions focus primarily on dance ability; however, appearance, personal accomplishments and community involvement also are contributing factors.
Known for their distinctive western uniforms, the Cheerleaders wear long leather chaps and jackets in the fall months, ski-wear for cold games and a more traditional cheerleading leather skirt and vest in the summer months."
*Colts Girls*:
"The Indianapolis Colts Cheerleaders are entering their 21st season with the organization. The Colts Cheerleaders continue to be an integral part of the Colts organization and in the overall marketing outreach of the team. On the field, these women perform for more than 56,000 fans in the RCA Dome at every home game. Off the field and in the community, these women donate their hearts and time as community representatives for hundreds of events across the state.
Being a Colts Cheerleader is almost a year-round job. The Colts Cheerleader season begins well before the first player is selected in the annual NFL Draft. The final audition process for Colts Cheerleading includes weekly practices, personal interviews, a football quiz, in addition to learning and performing multiple dance routines.
After the squad has been selected, it is time for uniform fittings, hair makeovers and more. The women also attend a �Colts Cheerleader mini-camp�, an intensive few days to learn choreography as well as the duties and responsibilities that will be expected of them in serving as an Indianapolis Colts Cheerleader.
While the rookies are learning the basic material to bring them up to speed with the general squad choreography, veteran squad members get busy in the community and begin their community service activities.
The Colts Cheerleader program prides itself on its service and commitment to the community. Each squad member is required to do a minimum of 15 charity events each year. Most women on the squad go well above expectations with their number of appearances averaging around 18 each. The Colts Cheerleaders logged more than 1,500 hours of community service while appearing at more than 320 charity functions, conventions, grand openings, fairs, tradeshows, among other events last year.
With all of the hours the women are together at practices, appearances, game
days and more � it�s no wonder the Colts Cheerleaders consider their fellow squad members as family.
There is much more to being a Colts Cheerleader than dance ability and a pretty face. Much is put into developing the ladies you see on the field on
game days and around the community at different events. They and the team�s biggest fans � they are the �Sweethearts of the Horseshoe�."
*Dolphin Chicks*:
"The Miami Dolphins Cheerleaders and Dolphins Mascot T.D. appear and perform at special events, grand openings, corporate meetings, parties, trade shows, state and county fairs, sporting events and any other event that brings people together for fun and excitement. The Show Team offers entertainment in addition to autograph and photo sessions. They are a group of 10-12 cheerleaders and T.D. who, in addition to performing at all the Miami Dolphins home games, also perform a 20-30 minute �Broadway Style� show consisting of signing, dancing and audience participation. Each show may be customized to suit the theme of the event; there are up to 15 different costumed and staged production numbers ranging from 60s classics to Patriotic to Rock and Roll."
SAINTsations
"The New Orleans Saintsations joined Lieutenant Governor Mitch Landrieu in a special send-off to the Louisiana troops stationed in Ft. Hood, Texas. Team members boarded a special military flight to the base where thousands of solders waited their arrival with great anticipation. �This was definitely one of the highlights of my life,� stated Charis. �My brother recently returned from serving in Iraq and this experience truly made me appreciate his endeavors event more.� After performing, the team autographed calendars and posed for pictures with the troops. The team joined fellow entertainers Rockin' Doopsie and several VIPS who fed and entertained these brave young soldiers just before they headed to Iraq."
