This past Saturday, I made the trek to the Valley of the Sun to cover the 2016 Phoenix Suns Dancers Auditions. The Suns have a new coach, Earl Watson a former standout at U.C.L.A. whose NBA playing career spanned over a decade, and there is a tangible sense of excitement over the team’s future prospects. And this excitement extended over to the Suns Dancers auditions, which drew over 80 hopefuls to the Talking Stick Resort in Scottsdale, Arizona.

As we wind down our coverage of the 2016 P-R-O Convention, I just want to say that is was another great year and I was so fortunate to meet so many amazing professional cheerleaders and dancers. It was truly a wonderful experience and if you have a passion for dance, you should be there next year.
Our final 2016 P-R-O Convention All Star is another one of those amazing Houston Texans Cheerleaders. She is a first year member of the HTC and graduated with a degree in accounting, introducing Taylor C., our final 2016 P-R-O Convention All Star.

One thing I noticed about Taylor…she’s very photogenic, a rare quality indeed.









Well that’s all for this year’s P-R-O Convention. To all the cheerleaders who took time out of their busy schedule to pose for me, thank you. And to all who were in attendance, I look forward to see you all again next year.
I have been covering the Arizona Cardinals Cheerleaders auditions since 2009 and I enjoy my time there because its a wonderful event to cover and I get some amazing photographs of some amazing cheerleaders. So you could say I have a fondness for the AZCC and I was pleased to see them in attendance after a one year absence. Our next 2016 P-R-O Convention All Star is a first year Arizona Cardinals Cheerleader from Friendswood, Texas…introducing Ashley.











Only one more cheerleader to feature! Check back tomorrow to see who is our final 201 P-R-O Convention All Star. And for more cheerleader articles, please visit my personal blog: thehottestdanceteam.wordpress.com.
Twins! I love twins! Especially twin professional cheerleaders because there is a certain symmetry about them and I get a kick out of watching them pose themselves. It’s so fascinating watching them interact with each other…like when they were trying to pose while making a heart with their hands. But I digress.
Our next 2016 P-R-O Convention All Stars are a couple of those amazingly beautiful Charlotte Honey Bees…introducing Honey Bee twins Kirsten and Kristen (cute play on names, eh?).




It’s like they’re looking in a mirror!




Only two more left! See you tomorrow!
I first met Melanie in 2009 when she was a San Diego Charger Girl. Back then I discovered that she was a Californian from Rancho Palos Verdes who had recently moved back to Southern California from Seattle, where she was a former Seattle Sea Gal. If memory serves correctly, she was a Charger Girl for one season and starred as one of the Ironettes in the movie Iron Man 2.
Flash forward to a couple of years later and Melanie is back as a Sea Gal and has been on the squad since 2013. Well as fortune would have it, she became a captain this year and was one of the Sea Gals that made it to Atlanta for the convention. And for me, it was nice to see her again after all these years.
So, without further ado, let us introduce our latest 2016 P-R-O Convention All Star, Seattle Sea Gal Melanie.











We only have three cheerleaders left to honor, check back tomorrow to see who is next. And for more cheerleader articles, please visit my personal blog: thehottestdanceteam.wordpress.com.
Our friends from the Minnesota Vikings Cheerleaders sent us some photos of the MVC at the opening of their new billion dollar venue, the U.S. Bank Stadium.
