Baltimore Blast Cheerleaders Auditions
Auditions for the NISL Baltimore Blast Cheerleaders took place last Saturday at Bally’s Total Fitness in Glenn Burnie, MD.
Hopefuls were taught a short dance routine and a kick-line by Blast Cheerleader Director Elizabeth “Liz” Guaraldo. Liz is a former Washington Redskins Cheerleaders and is entering her third season with the Blast.
Liz is a graduate of UMBC, and earned her Masters in Education from Johns Hopkins. She’s now a 7th grade Social Studies teacher.
Former Blast Cheerleaders Erica and Joy served as two of the judges. Erica is taking the season off, because she is getting married. Congratulations! Joy is taking the time to concentrate on her studies.
Results of the auditions were posted online and the team held their first meeting Sunday night.
So what’s next for the Blast Cheerleaders?
There are two rehearsals this week and then on Thursday Liz will be taking eight of the Cheerleaders to Bermuda. The ladies will perform at the ISL-NISL. (Sort of like the NFL Pro Bowl) In addition to the performance, the Cheerleaders will be making a ton of appearances around the island. Then in August the squad is off to Cambridge, Maryland to shoot their 2009-2010 Swimsuit Calendar.
