Shout-out to the MVC Training Program
At least once a year I try to give a shout out to the Minnesota Vikings Cheerleaders Training Program. Every year the MVC extend invitations to around 20-30 dancers who didn’t make the team, but who show a lot of potential. Those ladies spend the next year prepping for the following year’s tryouts. They meet weekly, they dance, they learn technique, kicks, cheer, interview and media skills. They learn how to achieve their best look, how to perform with presence, and much more to bring that potential out. They also have opportunities to perform with the Vikings Cheerleaders during the season. A year is a HUGE commitment for both the MVC and the ladies involved, but the program has been going strong for almost 10 years. There’s nothing else like it in the NFL, and many an MVC has the Training Program to thank for eventually making the squad!
