Our next honoree is a second year member of the Washington Wizard Girls, but, if memory serves correct, a first year attendee to the P-R-O Convention. Derric Whitfield, the Director of the Wizard Girls, always provides some great, high energy choreography that members of his squad are often called upon to demonstrate for the members of his class. And this is where I first saw Jackie and her fellow Wizard Girls shine.

So without further ado, introducing Washington Wizard Girl Jackie, our next 2014 P-R-O Convention All Star.

We’ve got a few more outstanding cheerleaders to feature, so stay tuned!

So you think you can dance?  Most professional cheerleaders think they can.  But our next honoree really can dance…so much so that she was a contestant on So You Think You Can Dance this season.  So let us introduce our next 2014 P-R-O Convention All Star and SYTYCD contestant, Tennessee Titans Cheerleader Marissa Mielele.

It really is a small world out there and you’ll never know who you’ll meet at P-R-O.

Our cavalcade of All Stars continues with a lass from down New Orleans way.  For the past two years, the Saintsations have brought a couple of girls to P-R-O and this year was no exception.  With a Drew Brees led team on the field and the Saintsations on the sidelines, the people of Louisiana are truly blessed.  So without further ado, introducing Saintsation Taylor, our next 2014 P-R-O Convention All Star.

Our parade moves on…stay tuned to see who is our next P-R-O Convention All Star.

I am an animal lover and when I saw this Seahawk with a broken wing, I was almost driven to tears.  Seriously, our next honoree was dancing with an arm in a sling and, of course, I wanted to photographer her for that and other more obvious reasons.  An exotic beauty, our next 2014 P-R-O Convention All Star is four year veteran Seattle Sea Gal Cassie.

We are only just beginning to scratch the surface.  There were so many beautiful and talented cheerleaders in Atlanta, it was an embarrassment of riches!

Our next honoree has a special quality about her…an All-American, girl next door sort of vibe with a fun personality.  She is a member of the Jets Flight Crew and a big sports fan.  An NFL cheerleader and a big time sports fan?  I must be dreaming.

So let’s recognize another 2014 P-R-O Convention All Star…introducing Tara.

And Tara, if you are reading this….GO KINGS, GO!

 

Our next 2014 P-R-O Convention All Star is from the Jacksonville Axe Maidens.  James and I met her and a few of her teammates last year while we were dining in the Atlanta Hilton Hotel and to say that these girls were engaging would be an understatement.  We have a nice conversation and I photographed a few of them for this featurette last year.  I happen to like their uniforms and they looked good in them.  I am a big uniform guy as you can tell.  Hey, cool looking uniforms and beautiful girls are very relevant.

Well our next honoree returns for the second year in a row, introducing Axe Maiden Carolyn.

And here is a bonus pic of her squad, the Jacksonville Axe Maidens.

Stacie Kinder brought a lot of girls with her to P-R-O and for that I am thankful because they have an absolutely gorgeous squad.  And I am thankful that they wore their game day uniforms, one of the most glamorous uniforms in the NFL.  So let us continue our coverage with our feaurette on Tennessee Titan Cheerleader Tandra, our next 2014 P-R-O Convention All Star.

More to come, so stay tuned.

I remember our next All Star from the time that I did a road trip to our nation’s capital back in 2011.  The second lead off photo of that article was a photo of her, so you know she made a lasting impression.  She has all the qualities that an NFL cheerleader should have:  good looks, dance ability and being photogenic.  So, without further ado I present Washington Redskins Cheerleader Maigan…our next 2014 P-R-O Convention All Star.

The people in the D.C. Metroplex are very fortunate to have Maigan and the First Ladies of Football…very fortunate, indeed.

The P-R-O Convention is the premier professional cheerleading and dance convention in the nation and cheerleaders from all over the country gathered in Atlanta, Georgia for two days of intensive dance training and team building.  It is a truly amazing event to photograph and one of the highlights of the year.

And if you weren’t in Atlanta, here’s what you missed.

The staff of All-Pro3 gave James and I complete access to the convention’s events.  In the second part of my article, we continue our coverage of P-R-O with a report on Sunday’s events.

There’s only one word to describe our next All Star…firecracker.  What else would you call a rookie cheerleader who moves towards the front of the room and demands your attention with a vivacious and sassy personality.  Yep.  Firecracker.  Introducing our next 2014 P-R-O Convention All Star…Karrie.
