The New York Giants is one of only a few teams in the NFL without cheerleaders. But The Unofficial Dancers of the New York Giants, Incorporated have joined together to bring the tradition of sideline entertainment and team spirit to one of the NFL’s most highly regarded teams.
“The Unofficials” aim to connect the unparalleled talent in the Big Apple with the NFL team closest to the hearts of New Yorkers. For this group of professional dancers, it’s about bringing every aspect of what it means to live in NYC to each Giants game, embodying the passion, spirit and the bright lights of the city that never sleeps. With their unique talents and varied dance backgrounds, they are hoping to bring a new aspect of dance to the sports side of the entertainment capital of the world.
Dancers from New York and New Jersey auditioned in mid-August for coveted spots on the 22-person team. The co-directors, Ana De Villegas and Cassie Russo, chose both female and male dancers whose specialities range from classical styles like Contemporary to commercial styles like Street Funk.
“New York City is such a diverse city when it comes to talent and culture, so if we are going to represent what New York is all about, we have to do it right,” said Russo. “It really makes a family when you have so many different personalities coming together for one purpose.”
And the purpose? The team plans to be entertaining and engaging fans during every game this season – home or away – whether it be hosting events at sports bars or performing for tailgaters at MetLife Stadium. They consider themselves to be the ultimate Giants fans.
“I was born and raised a Giants fan. I am definitely into the tradition and how traditional the Giants organization is. That’s why I fell in love with them,” said team member Tia Testa. “So I’m honored and privileged to be in a position where I feel like I can promote and support them.”
The official launch of The Unofficials will take place during Fashion Week 2011, just days before the Giants’ first regular reason game on September 11, 2011 against the Washington Redskins.
Back on August 27th, the Philadelphia Fight hosted the New Haven Warriors in the 2011 USA Rugby League Championship. The scheduled kickoff was move up to avoid the imminent arrival of Hurricane Irene, but showers still fell as the Vixens Dance Team debuted their newest uniforms.
