Ariana, a  five-year veteran and two-year captain, has been selected as the MDC representative for the 2012 Pro Bowl.  A South Florida native, she has been with the squad since she was 18 and is currently a junior studying communications at a local university.   Being selected Pro Bowl Cheerleader is considered to be the highest honor a Miami Dolphins Cheerleader can receive.

“I am so honored to be chosen by my teammates to represent the Miami Dolphins for the 2012 Pro Bowl,” Ariana said. “I was so overwhelmed with joy when they called my name on the field and was excited to celebrate it having my best friends right beside me.  It means so much that my teammates view me as the best representation of this squad.  I know that I won’t let them down.  I am looking forward to being in Hawaii for the first time and meeting the other talented Pro Bowl cheerleaders!”

America’s Sweethearts The Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders (DCC) recently set out on to deliver cheer and a touch of home to troops and military families spending this holiday season overseas. Prior to setting out on the annual trip the DCC’s Alison Taylor had this to say:

“We all want to spend time with our family and loved ones for the holidays. But for many of our men and women in uniform that’s not possible. That’s why we wanted to make sure we touched as many military families as possible. I’m honored to be a part of the annual USO tour and to deliver a touch of home and some DCC cheer to our troops and their families.”

By the end of their 10-day trip (Dec. 13 – 22) the 12-member team split up and will have visited 21 installations, put on 6 performances and meet with and thanked countless service men, women and their families.
