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.

As the 2018 P-R-O convention neared its conclusion, several cheerleaders gathered on the stage to pose for photos.  After the Washington Redskins Cheerleaders took a group photo, the Washington Wizard Girls joined them for a few more.  And one of those poses was a group photo of what I call the D.C. Women of Color.  It made for a rather interesting photo, so I took it and I am sharing it with you, our loyal readers.

There were many amazing cheerleaders at the 2018 P-R-O Convention in Atlanta and it was a visual feast for the eyes.  I have said this many times before and I will say it again…the Washington Redskins Cheerleaders are one of my favorite squads to photograph at the convention.  Beautiful girls, talented dancers and amazing uniforms…all make for some interesting images.

Our next 2018 P-R-O Convention All Star is one of those amazing Washington Redskins Cheerleaders…introducing Ashley M.

We still have a few more girls to feature, so check back soon to see who is our next 2018 P-R-O Convention All Star and for more cheerleader articles and photos, please visit my personal blog: thehottestdanceteam.wordpress.com.

The Houston Texans once again brought a large contingent of cheerleaders to the P-R-O Convention in Atlanta.  And I was surprised to learn that this year, there are many rookies and only seven returning veterans, if I recall correctly.  And I was fortunate to be able to photograph one of the HTC veterans, who happens to be our next 2018 P-R-O Convention All Star.  A three year veteran and one of the most impressive Houston Texans Cheerleaders, introducing Natalie Y.

Who is next?  Check back tomorrow to see who is our next 2018 P-R-O Convention All Star and for more cheerleader articles and photos, please visit my personal blog: thehottestdanceteam.wordpress.com.
