Going Pro Entertainment – East Coast Dance Convention
GPE East Coast Pro Dance Convention
This past Saturday current, former and aspiring cheerleaders and dancers from across the East Coast and from as far away as Chicago gathered at the Going Pro Entertainment East Coast Dance Convention in Philadelphia.
Participants received tips from the pros on fitness, nutrition, makeup, and attire, learned choreography from elite alumni and directors, and got the chance to network with other performers.
Two of the choreographers: Erin Donnelly and Laura Eilers
We last saw GPE founder Laura Eilers in Washington DC two weeks ago where she choreographed the Science Cheerleaders. She’s a six-time NFL Cheerleader (Chiefs and Rams) and the Director of the Richmond Lady Raiders.
Erin cheered for the Rams (2007 Pro Bowl Cheerleader). She’s pursuing her PsyD (Doctor of Psychology) at Widener University. It’s a five(!) year program. After graduation Erin hope to work in couples therapy and with trauma victims.
Anthony Molino and Rodolico
Anthony Molino was named Philadelphia Magazine Best Personal Trainer for 2009, and serious about fitness. I mean like competing in ironman triathlon serious. Anthony had the participants work up a sweat as he put them through a series of fitness stations.
Lindsay is a former Philadelphia Soulmate and represented her squad on the Arena Bowl Dream Team. She’s based in LA now, keeping very busy and working with dance teams for minor league baseball. She’s also Anthony’s sister-in-law.
