The Philadelphia Eagles Cheerleaders performed at the celebrity-studded amfAR New York Inspiration Gala that was held at the New York Public Library on June 7th. During the gala, amfAR paid tribute to iconic recording artist and eight-time Grammy winner Fergie as well as Marc Jacobs International President, Robert Duffy. Academy Award-winning actress Hilary Swank presented the Piaget Award of Inspiration and Rose McGowan and Cheyenne Jackson co-hosted the prestigious event.
Accustomed to performing on a 100 yard football field for thousands of fans at Eagles games, the cheerleaders embraced the opportunity to show off their moves on the 100 yard long runway! Their high energy performance opened the sports-inspired fashion show which showcased exclusive looks by the world’s leading menswear designers. The designs featured black tie takes on athletic wear, inspired by the upcoming Olympic Games. Legendary Olympic medalist and AIDS activist Greg Louganis was the first to walk in the fashion show, followed by Rugby star Ben Cohen, and numerous top New York male models. Calvin Klein, Giorgio Armani, Givenchy, Hugo Boss, Jean Paul Gaultier, Kenneth Cole, Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, Piaget, Ralph Lauren, and Versace were among the designers that donated looks for the runway show.
Photos of the cheerleaders performing at the amfAR gala showed up on some of the hottest fashion magazine sites the next day such as Elle, Style, In-Style, Women’s Wear Daily, and Vanity Fair. Check out some of the photos from the event here

“Adding two additional locations for Honeybees tryouts is something we’ve never done before, but we couldn’t be more excited about having the opportunity to work with girls from across the Gulf South,” said Honeybee manager and choreographer Ashley Deaton.
“We’re looking for girls who will bring energy, showmanship, personality and maturity to the squad, as they will have the opportunity to perform in front of thousands of fans and participate in community events locally, nationally and internationally.”
The Hornets are looking for girls at least 18 years of age who have previous dance experience and are committed to representing the Hornets organization on and off the court.
The Honeybees perform professionally-choreographed dance routines to a variety of music during home games, and make appearances at community and professional events throughout the year.
In past seasons, the Honeybees have traveled to Spain, Germany, China and the Balkans to perform and represent New Orleans and the Hornets on an international stage.
Honeybee applicants should be in top physical condition and wear appropriate dance attire for the audition, which includes a half-top that shows midriff, hot shorts or trunks (no pants), dance or athletic shoes, flesh colored tights, and performance-ready hair and make-up (no ponytails).
At registration, dancers must provide a resume that depicts any professional and dance experience, a recent 5×7 headshot, a copy of their high school diploma, valid photo identification, and a completed application form.
