Editor’s note: Satin Stitches, a long time sponsor of UltimateCheerleaders.com, has shared with us their top ten audition tops for this season.  If you are auditioning for an NFL, NBA or another professional dance team, please consider what Satin Stitches has to offer.


Are you still looking for your perfect Try-out top?

Audition outfits should fit your personality, your style and your shape. When choosing, you have the option of sporty or sexy, and plain or fully embellished.

Always check on what type of outfit is suggested or even required by your team that you are auditioning for. Consider team colors or your all-time favorite personal color! Halter or strappy tops are most generally worn, but cap-sleeved or even long-sleeved or hooded tops might catch your fancy. At Satin Stitches we have them all!

In our Web Store, we feature hundreds of options for customizable tops, skirts and shorts, for ordering your perfect audition outfit. These garments are not on a shelf, but cut, sewn and hand-crafted to your specific desires in as little as a few days. Always call us at 763-323-9507 to check just how fast we can ship your outfit to you.

As head designer for Satin Stitches, my personal TOP TEN tops are shown here!

All of our Pro Audition tops feature moisture-wicking Supplex lining and great support, along with adjustable neckbands for perfect fit, durability and comfort.

This past Sunday, the Los Angeles Rams held their preliminary auditions for their 2019 cheerleading squad.  As you might expect after a Super Bowl appearance, interest in the Rams is at an all time high and the preliminary auditions attracted over 250 young women and men. 

Last season, the Los Angeles Rams became the first NFL team to select a male, two to be exact, for their dance team.  The Baltimore Ravens and Indianapolis Colts have had co-ed stunt teams for several years, but I believe the Rams were the first team to select a male for their dance team.   The New Orleans Saints also selected a male for their dance team last year, but I believe they held their auditions after the Rams.  

This year, there were several men in attendance at the preliminary auditions and there were two very special individuals with unique qualities that also tried out.  This was in addition to the two hundred talented young women who were among this year’s hopefuls. 

I think you could certainly say that these auditions were the most inclusive in history.  And judging by the caliber of young men and women trying out, these auditions were certainly most auspicious…perhaps an indication of the shape of things to come.
