Editor’s note: Here’s a unique offer to help you with your audition aspirations from our friends over at Sideline Prep.

Photo Shoot with Celebrity Photographer – Registration Open NOW.

Even though things are a little uncertain because of COVID-19, some teams are still going full steam ahead with their dance/cheer auditions.  Be sure you’re prepared when or if your top team announces their virtual or in person auditions by already having professional audition pictures waiting and ready!!  

And of course, we’re here to help… it’s time for Sideline Photo Shoot!! 

Many of you have been asking for an opportunity to take pictures so you would be ready for potential NBA audition announcements. We heard and we listened.  We’ll have a one day photo shoot in the DC area, where we’ll help you capture a “picture perfect” image for your application… while following all CDC guidelines to keep us safe and healthy!  Once you sign up, you’ll receive our procedures that are MANDATORY to follow in order to participate in the photo shoot.

Remember, your application picture(s) sets the tone for your audition. This is a GREAT way to make a wonderful first impression… or of course, the picture you submit could work against you.

Keep in mind that during deliberations… the judges constantly look at the pictures that you submit with your application. So you want to make sure your pictures represent your “best you”!!

Sideline Photo Shoot is a “one stop shop” to get quality full body, headshots, and professional pictures for your upcoming auditions. Our photographer is the best of the best! Plus former professional cheerleaders and makeup artists are there every step of the way to make this the BEST experience ever!!

This photo shoot is open to any and everyone.  You can use these pictures for personal or professional purposes, pageants, etc.

This opportunity is on a first-come, first-serve basis… so register soon!!  We will NOT have a flow over date for this time. 

The date for the Sideline Photo Shoot is Sunday, October 18th. Click HERE to register!

Just as a reminder, our NYC/DC Celebrity Photographer again this year is Drew Xeron – who also happens to be the photographer for the First Ladies of Football, Washington Wizard Dancers, and the former Washington Valorettes and Baltimore Brigade Dancers! 

….So if the Coaches & Directors of these team trust him, then he obviously knows how to make our Lovelies look their BEST!

We look forward to helping you create “your best you” via your application photo!

It’s a  new world out there and things are a bit different for NFL cheerleading.  No cheer action on the sidelines for the time being, but that doesn’t mean that the cheerleaders aren’t there, in person.  So let’s take a look at some photos of the Los Angeles Rams Cheerleaders, courtesy of Peter B. House Joneleit of the Rams.

Love the new uniforms!  Still getting used to the masks.

Per SI.com:

The NFL has banned cheerleaders and mascots from the field for the 2020 season, according to NFL Network. 

The league’s decision is the latest precaution taken under the joint NFL and NFLPA protocols. Network sideline reporters and pregame TV reporters will also not be allowed on the field in 2020, per NFL Network.

The NFL is still planning to begin the regular season on time despite the COVID-19 crisis, but the league will not be holding any preseason games ahead of opening night on Sept. 10. The Chiefs are slated to host the Texans at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, though the stadium will only be open to 22% of its capacity, per a team press release. The 22% mark accounts for around 16,000 fans. 

“As the season progresses, the club will follow the guidance of local officials and public health experts, with the potential that local regulations will allow for different capacities at different points during the season,” Kansas City said in a press release. “Future on-sale dates and details will be communicated once confirmed throughout the season.”

The Giants and Jets are among teams that will not permit fans in the stands in 2020. The Patriots are not allowing fans through September.

The inaugural squad of the Las Vegas Raiderettes were announced recently.  Check them out here.

Editor’s note: Here’s a message and a nice little video from our friends over at Sideline Prep.

First, I hope you and your family are safe, healthy and happy 🙂

Second, we know that most in person dance studios and classes are still closed for the moment…

BUT, of course, we have your back! Here is an exhilarating routine from our Annual Pro Cheer Workshop we held in January! Former Richmond Roughriders Director, Kelly Allen, taught a APFL style dance that had everyone feeling themselves!

Take advantage of this routine! Here’s what the video includes:

• Routine with music from the front
• Routine with counts
• Routine with music from the back

What better way to help you along your Pro Cheer journey than learning an actual PRO dance from the PRO’s themselves?!
