NFL Divisional Round Cheerleader Preview: Steelers vs. Broncos

As a Kansas City Chiefs fan I find it very hard to root for the Denver Broncos. As much as I love the Broncos cheerleaders, I spent too many Sundays watching John Elway destroy my beloved team to ever really root for them. But I am going to make an exception today. I just hope 11-year old me can understand the sacrifice I'm making for the greater good here.

After all, I think 11-year old me would understand putting my allegiances behind a team that has cheerleaders over a team that doesn't. That sounds like something 11-year old me would be cool with.

LA Kings Ice Crew Hottie Meagan is an Animal Lover

We have more than 40 posts on Pro Cheer Heaven devoted to the LA Kings Ice Crew, yet somehow we've never done an actual feature on one their members before. How is that even possible? I feel like we should have done like a dozen features on the Kings' girls by now.

But in an effort to remedy this massive flaw in our your favorite pro cheerleader blog I contacted 2nd year Ice Crew member Meagan (we shared her profile video back in July) and asked if she would be interested. Thank God she said yes!

Meagan is a recent graduate of UC Davis with a degree in Animal Science. Her biggest passion is, as you might have guessed, animals. She is a huge proponent of animal adoption and rescue and thinks people just don't know how easy and gratifying it is to rescue an animal. Her goal is to find a job in an animal-related field soon.

Growing up Meagan spent her time riding motorcycles, wakeboarding and competitively figuring skating. But she had to trade in those figure skates for the hockey skates once she joined the Kings Ice Crew. I think we can all agree that was a pretty amazing trade.

If you want to follow Meagan on social media (and maybe ask her some questions about rescuing/adopting an animal), you find her on Twitter and Instagram.

NFL Wild Card Cheerleader Preview: Chiefs vs. Texans

The NFL playoffs are finally here, and I finally get to root my team on during the festivities. For the first time in a few years, the Kansas City Chiefs are in the playoffs and are actually playing like a team that could win their first postseason games since 1993.

The only thing that stands in their way is the Houston Texans. And while I normally root for the Texans solely based on my love of their cheerleaders, this week I'm going to have to stay loyal to my Chiefs. Sorry ladies, I can't betray my boys in red!

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS

Christmastime in Dallas is a Fabulous Thing for Pro Cheerleaders

We posted some pictures from around the professional cheerleading world on Christmas day of cheerleaders celebrating the holidays. But we're back today with a few more pictures specifically from Dallas this time.

We all know that the Dallas pro cheer teams are top notch, but now we also know that they have Christmas all figured out. Well done to the Stars ice girls and Cowboys cheerleaders!

The Baltimore Blast Cheerleaders Make a Cheer Selfie Saturday Appearance

We've featured the Baltimore Blast cheerleaders here on Pro Cheer Heaven once before (posing with Batman, no less), but it's been a long time, and I was kinda feeling the itch to head back that way. So what better time than Cheer Selfie Saturday? After all, Cheer Selfie Saturday doesn't get a lot of posts from minor league soccer cheer squads!

Cheer Selfie Saturday Checks in on the Orlando Magic

I have to admit that I have no idea whether the Orlando Magic are any good or not. The only time the Magic entire my life at this point is when they show up on Fresh Off the Boat. But while I may not be up-to-date when comes to the players on the court, I am fully on board with the squad lurking on the sidelines.

The Magic dancers have always been top notch, even before Shaq showed up in the 90s. And today's squad is no different. Which is why I felt it necessary to share a couple of cheer selfies from our pal Molleigh today!

The Jacksonville Jaguars Rocked the Hell Out of Their Pink During Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Sure these pictures are a little bit old (Breast Cancer Awareness Month is in October, after all), but I don't think that matters. Honestly, we could post these pictures in June and they would be just as relevant. The Jacksonville Jaguars cheerleaders are ALWAYS relevant.

And I snuck a few sweet cheer selfies in there for good measure.

The Miami Heat Dancers Just Slay Their Cheer Selfies

I was trying to come up with the exact right word to describe today's Cheer Selfie Saturday selection from the Miami Heat dancers. At first I was going to go with hot, but that seemed too obvious and too tame. Then I thought about smoking, but I use that too much.

But then it hit me, this picture is only one thing: fierce!

The Toronto Raptors Dance Pak is Bad!

You know, not bad meaning but bad meaning good (if you didn't read that sentence in your best Run-DMC impression I feel sorry for you). Actually, I'm a little embarrassed we've only featured the Raptors Dance Pak four times before today's Cheer Selfie Saturday post. That is not even close to enough coverage!

A Very Serious Cheer Selfie Saturday Picture

Basically every cheer selfie I've ever seen has featured some of the biggest smiles on the planet. The girls are all suited up and ready to hit the field or hardwood and show out for their team and fans. But today's Cheer Selfie Saturday picture is quite serious. I'm not sure what this Honeybee has on her mind, but she is focused!

Allen Americans Ice Angel Stashia is Living the Dream

We have long considered the Allen Americans Ice Angels to be one of the pre-eminent minor league cheer squads in the entire country. Which is why we have featured them 9 times in the past. And honestly, I think we saved the best for number 10.

Brand new Ice Angel Stashia has a pretty strong history in the minor league cheer world of Texas. Before joining the Ice Angels in August, Stashia was a member of the Texas Legends squad; another one of my favorites.

But this full time fashion merchandising student at the University of North Texas doesn't show any signs of stopping here. With a long term goal of owning her own clothing boutique some day, Stashia's more immediate plans involve trying out for the Dallas Cowboys Rhythm & Blue Dancers squad now that she finally turned 21 on Sunday. Based on her rise through the Texas professional cheer ranks already, I have no doubt we'll see her in Cowboys blue and white next year.

Stashia would also like to be a role model for young girls suffering with depression and mental illness by sharing her story and her strength. That is a very important and humbling goal in life. If you can't root for somebody like Stashia, who can you root for?

You can follow Stashia's time with the Ice Angels and her quest to join the Rhythm & Blue Dancers on her Twitter or Instagram accounts. 

We're Celebrating the Return of the NBA this Cheer Selfie Saturday

I'm so glad the NBA season is finally underway because that means the Phoenix Suns Dancers are finally back in our lives. And you can NEVER have too much of the Phoenix Suns Dancers in your life. That would be like having too much steak in your life. Of course, the Suns Dancers aren't going to clog your arteries, so that might be a bad example.

Couple of Shots From the Washington Redskins Bikini Calendar Photoshoot

As it starts to get colder here in the US and fall starts to take hold, I thought it was time to harken back to some warmer days just to remind us what things used to be like. After all, it snowed in the Northeast this weekend.

So let's all remember fondly the time it was warm and the Washington Redskins cheerleaders traveled to the beach to take pictures for their newest bikini calendar. Yeah, those were the good ole days!

Cheer Selfie Saturday Heads North of the Border This Week

The B.C. Lions haven't had a great year so far up in the CFL, but that has absolutely no bearing on their amazing dance team the Felions. The Felions are, year in and year out, one of the hottest pro cheer squads in the world. So it's a little surprising they haven't been featured on Cheer Selfie Saturday yet.

Oh well, there is a first time for everything!

Sydney Durso is a Dallas Area Pro Cheerleader Celebrity

Many of you know the name Sydney Durso well. She was a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader for seven seasons, and when you spend that long on the most famous cheer squad in the world people get to know you.

But know Sydney has moved on from the Cowboys cheerleaders and started a brand new pro cheer career. And we felt like there was no better way to highlight her new path than a Cheer Selfie Saturday post. So here is Sydney in her new digs as a Dallas Mavericks dancer!

Miami Dolphins Cheer Alum Brianne Takes Over Cheer Selfie Saturday

One of the big problems with being a fan of cheerleaders is the constant turnover every squad has to deal with. So just as I start to recognize girls they take off down a new path in life that is not conducive to the cheer life. I understand that's natural, but it's still a bummer.

One of the cheerleaders I miss the most these days is former Miami Dolphins cheerleader Brianne. We did a mini feature on her back in 2013 and even had her as our Twitter avatar until just recently. Now that she's done cheering we'll probably never see her again. But at least we can have this one last Cheer Selfie Saturday together!

Cheer Selfie Saturday Hits the Nation's Capitol on this Fine Morning

It's a beautiful day, isn't it? It's Saturday, there is college football on like 1/3 of the TV stations and the first Sunday of NFL season is just one sleep away. That is a very fine day indeed.

Speaking of fine, today's Cheer Selfie Saturday shot comes from a mighty fine Washington Wizards dancer named Megan. A fine lady on a fine day is just fine by me.

The Orlando Predators are the First Arena Football Team Featured on Cheer Selfie Saturday

Cheer Selfie Saturday is about to take off. I just have a feeling now that football season is getting into full swing that we are going to see more and more cheerleaders hit us up on social media with the Cheer Selfie Saturday hashtag. At least, that's what I hope is about to happen.

Until the floodgates open, I'm going to hit up the arena league and check in on the Orlando Predators for this week's Cheer Selfie Saturday selection. I'm thinking that will be just fine with everyone!

Cheer Selfie Saturday Makes a Stop in Baltimore This Week!

The Cheer Selfie Saturday tour of America has been a major success, and as we get football season fired back up the number of cheer selfies coming into our offices is going to explode. I am so excited to finally have football and (most importantly) cheerleaders back in our lives!

Today we're in Baltimore thanks to a gorgeous cheer selfie from Baltimore Ravens cheerleader Melissa!
