2010 Jacksonville Axe Maidens
The 2010 Axe Maidens have been selected.
Auditions for the 2010 Axe Maidens took place on April 10th at Bailey’s Powerhouse Gym in Jacksonville, Florida. Contestants were taught three routines during the week (short sideline, kickline and a dance) then performed them in front of a panel of judges. Judges included Axemen/Axe Maidens sponsors, investors and the dance team managers of the Jacksonville Sharks (AFL) and Jacksonville Suns (Baseball). According to Axe Maidens Director, Darlene Clancy, “I am very lucky to have such a close relationship with the other dance team managers. We are very supportive of each other personally as well as professionally. They know what I am looking for in a dance team so they have that critical eye and write down constructive feedback on the contestants score sheets.” Several ROAR Alumni were also on hand to help the day run smoothly. “I couldn’t have done it without my Alumni “sisters” and my husband who are always there for me when I need them.” said Darlene.
The Axe Maidens welcome back 3 veterans who are joined by 10 rookies and excited to announce that 6 additional veterans have successfully moved on to professional teams; Five are members of the Jacksonville Sharks (AFL) and the other was recently selected to the ROAR of the Jaguars.
The 2010 Axe Maidens are very excited to debut their new uniforms by Angela King Designs, the premier uniform designer for the cheerleaders for teams such as the Jaguars, Buccaneers, Chargers, Celtics and more. “When I was a member of the ROAR of the Jaguars I loved my uniforms made by Angela King. I am so proud and honored that my team will be wearing her designs.” according to Darlene.
