Gotham City Cheerleaders Head to India This Wednesday
From New York to Mumbai The Gotham City Cheerleaders will be performing for 2 months in India on set of the IPL’s sports show “Extra Innings”
New York, New York, March 25, 2013 — For the first time in sports entertainment history, New York cheerleaders will travel to Mumbai, India to perform during the country’s two month cricket season. Their goal is to bring the glamour, talent and professional cheerleading and dance experience of traditional American football to the centuries old game of cricket.
The Gotham City Cheerleaders (GCC) will perform on the popular sports network of the Set Max channel, Extraa Innings, an ESPN-type of sports coverage including game analysis, commentary, celebrity appearances and of course, professional cheerleading. The GCC will be performing on set as well as at various promotional locations, including the stadium, community outreach projects and marketing appearances in an effort to continue to build the brand of the Indian Premier League (IPL), the second largest sports brand on the globe.
In the past, the IPL experience has been extended to NFL cheerleaders such as the Miami Dolphins and the Washington Redskins Cheerleaders. This year paves the way for New York City to travel abroad and continue to spread the prestigious tradition of American cheerleading to the IPL’s cricket season.
“Having the opportunity to follow the steps of fellow pro cheer teams to represent the class and glamour that American cheerleaders bring to sports entertainment is a true compliment. We are honored have been selected out of hundreds of talented woman in our industry and we will represent our team, our city and the cheer world with pride, while bringing to Mumbai the powerful and unique talent found in NYC,” said GCC 2 year veteran, Sarah Friedson.
