This past Tuesday night the Philadelphia Sixers Dancers held their Calendar Unveiling Party at the Public House in Center City.
The 2009-10 swimsuit calendar was shot last Summer at Harrahs’ Casino it Atlantic City.
Carolina Correspondent Rick Reports:
A chilly 43 degree day in Charlotte did not stop the Topcats from their usual appearances. They were bundled up and ready to cheer on the Panthers to a hard fought victory over the division rival Buccaneers.

Phil from the Buffalo Pro Cheer Blog tells us:
It’s that time of year again, when NFL Cheerleaders select their Pro Bowl representatives, this year sending their representatives to Miami for the January 31st AFC-NFC All-Star game. This year’s selection should be no surprise to anyone as it’s 4th year vet and captain Christina. She started off her career as a Jill as the only rookie member of the Events Dance Team and also won the 2006 Rookie of The Year. In 2008, she was named a co-captain for Omarlla’s line and moved over to Nicole’s line this season. However, after Nicole resigned suddenly, Christina took over handling the captain duties on her own and doing a great job with it, obviously.

As I mentioned earlier, I was in Jacksonville on Sunday for the Texans-Jaguars game.
It’s supposed be warm in Florida, but at game time the temperature was in the low 50s. That didn’t stop the ROAR from performing in short shorts and half-zipped up satin jackets. The Football Gods smiled on this display of Cheerleader Professionalism and the Jaguars defeated the Texans 23-18.
And not only was it cold, it was windy!
ROAR Manager Christy Stechman Zynda
And Christy has the ROAR working so hard they are literally wearing out the field. The grounds crew came around during the first quarter to spread grass seed on the bare spots where the ROAR have been performing this season.
In the second half the ROAR changed into their black satin jackets.
And it was even colder by the fourth quarter. I believe I saw the NFL’s reddest redhead, Kelley, shivering at one point.
Kristen’s line circles up after the victory.
After the game Darlene, Laurie, Kristen and Liana. (That big gift basket is Laurie’s!).
In addition to her job, Darlene (who cheered for the ROAR for 3 seasons) is a founding member of the Professional Cheerleaders Alumni, the Director the AMNRL Jacksonville Axe Maidens, and Chief Communications Officer for the Sweethearts for Soldiers.
Five-year veteran and line captain Laurie (this is her last year) is Miss River City USA 2009 and is the founder of PROJECT GIRL TALK – a teen advocacy program. After graduation (she’s completing her master’s degree in health administration) she will be pursuing a career as a United States Navy Officer. More at LaurieConley.com.
Kristen is a five-year veteran and another line-captain. She’s a graduate of Bethune-Cookman University with a B.A. in sociology. She’s also a graduate student pursing a MA in counseling and works as a counselor.
Liana was a member of the ROAR for three seasons and represented her squad at the 2009 Pro Bowl. She’s a practicing attorney and received her juris doctorate degree from Stetson University College of Law.
That’s just four examples of the extraordinary women who cheer (or have cheered for) The ROAR. It was a great pleasure to meet such accomplished women.
I even got to meet Laurie’s Mom, who’s a wonderful lady and a big fan of theblog. She told me to make sure to feature this photo on the blog!
Congratulations to Carolina TopCat Kelli who will be representing her squad at the 2010 Pro Bowl next month. Kelli is a 5-year veteran of the TopCats and a student.
The announcement was made in the TopCats locker room during their Christmas party so that her teammates and sisters could find out first.

Take a look!
Yesterday, I posted that the Rocky Mountain RockStarz had auditioned for America’s Best Dance Crew Season 5 and incorrectly identified the group as former Nuggets Dancers.
I’ve got the straight scoop today along with a pair of never-before-seen photos of the RockStarz.
