Our next 2018 P-R-O Convention All Star is a rookie Houston Texans Cheerleader, one of many newcomers to the convention. As a matter of fact, I would liked to be able to photograph more of these newcomers because I like to feature as many new faces as possible in addition to some of those veteran attendees.
Well without further ado, let me introduce Houston Texans Cheerleader Shaunte, our next 2018 P-R-O Convention All Star.
We are coming close to the end of our coverage of the 2018 P-R-O Convention in Atlanta. But we have two more cheerleaders to share with you, so check back tomorrow to see who is our next All Star. And for more cheerleader articles, please visit my personal blog: thehottestdanceteam.wordress.com.

A couple of weeks ago, I shared a photo entitled “D.C. Women of Color” and that was a product of previous group photo of all the D.C. Cheerleaders that were in attendance at the P-R-O Convention…apparently they are pretty tight between both squads. So today, I want to share with you that photo featuring all the lovely ladies from our nation’s capital.
I may have mentioned this before, but one of my favorite cheerleading squads to photograph is the Arizona Cardinals Cheerleaders. I love road tripping out to Phoenix to catch a Cardinals game. And it’s a positive that they play in a modern stadium that has great sight lines and it just so happens that they drafted a talented QB, Josh Rosen, from my alma mater, UCLA. So you can say, I like the Cards and the AZCC and I guess I’ll have to make the journey back to the Valley of the Sun next season for some Sunday fun.
Our next 2018 P-R-O Convention All Star is a third year member of the Arizona Cardinals Cheerleaders and is originally from Friendswood, Texas…introducing Ashley.
Only a few more left, so check back soon to see the 2018 P-R-O Convention All Star. And for more cheerleader articles, please visit my personal blog: thehottestdanceteam.wordpress.com.
