The arenafootball2 (af2) league and one of its new partners, Aaron’s, are pleased to announce an exciting new addition to this year’s ArenaCup festivities – the Aaron’s af2 Dream Team. The 2009 Aaron’s af2 Dream Team will be involved in ArenaCup10 activities including performing during halftime of the championship game and appearances throughout the weekend of events. The team will be a special 12-member group comprised of dance team standouts from around the af2.

With so many stellar dance team participants in the league, narrowing the field down to a dozen is a tough task. Therefore, the af2 and Aaron’s are enlisting the help of the fans. Beginning in May, a national online promotion called “Vote for your Favorite Aaron’s af2 Dancer” will be conducted where fans will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite dancer. The top 12 dancers with the most fan votes will represent this year’s 2009 Aaron’s af2 Dream Team at ArenaCup10 in August.

“We’re very pleased that Aaron’s has partnered with the af2,” said af2 President Jerry Kurz. “We are equally excited about the upcoming Aaron’s Dream Team promotion and how the addition of this special group will enhance our annual ArenaCup festivities.”

Out of hundreds of dancers performing throughout the league, the final field of 24 that will be voted on are listed below:

Jenny – Albany Firebirds

Ali – Amarillo Dusters

Sara Beth – Arkansas Twisters

Shellie – Boise Burn

Lorene – Bossier-Shreveport BattleWings
