I was quite impressed with the new squad of Arizona Cardinals Cheerleaders. It was a nice mix of talented veterans and a new crop of promising rookies. And I was please see one of my favorite Arizona Cardinals Cheerleaders here again because she is so enjoyable to photograph. So without further ado, introducing third year veteran Arizona Cardinals Cheerleader Darby, our latest 2018 P-R-O Convention All Star.

There’s still more All Star features to come, so check back soon to see who is next. And for more cheerleader articles, please visit my personal blog: thehottestdanceteam.wordpress.com.

Our next 2018 P-R-O Convention All Star is a member of the hottest dance team in professional sports. A multi year veteran of the Charlotte Honey Bees, introducing Brittany T., a 2018 P-R-O Convention All Star.

We are beginning to wind down our coverage of the 2018 P-R-O Convention in Atlanta, but we still have more amazing cheerleaders to show you, so check back tomorrow to see who is next. I hear she hails from the Valley of the Sun. And for more cheerleader features, please visit my personal blog: thehottestdanceteam.wordpress.com.

The Atlanta Hawks completed their auditions for the 2018-2019 dance team and they have posted some images from the audition process.  Click here and here to view the galleries.

Apparently there were a lot of first year members of professional dance teams in attendance at this year’s P-R-O Convention in Atlanta, which is a good thing because change is a positive.  And our next 2018 P-R-O Convention All Star is a first year member of the Tennessee Titans Cheerleaders, introducing Erica.

If I recall correctly, our quality time was cut short due to the resumption of the dance sessions after a break in the action.  I would have liked to have gotten a few more images of Erica, but alas it was not to be.

We have a few more cheerleader features in the works, so check back tomorrow to see who is next up on our agenda.  And for more cheerleader articles, please visit my personal blog: thehottestdanceteam.wordpress.com.
