The Raptors Dance Pak Shows Us How They do Christmas in Canada

We've had a few posts memorializing how professional cheerleaders and dancers celebrated Christmas this year, but somehow we never made it across the border into Canada to check out how our neighbors to the north celebrate Christmas cheerleader style.

Fortunately I found these pictures of the Toronto Raptors Dance Pak from their Christmas-themed game and determined that they Christmas just like we do. With Santa-style uniforms and plenty of fuzzy white trim. I knew I could count on the Dance Pak to bring the Christmas spirit in the Great White North!

The Brooklyn Nets Dancers are Ready for Center Stage

As the NFL season draws to a close, it's time for the NBA to take center stage around here. Which means our friends over at Slam Dunk Babes are going to be very happy about our posts!

We thought we would start our transition to NBA dominance with the Brooklyn Nets dancers. The Brooklynettes have been one of my favorite squads since they relocated to Brooklyn a few years ago. I think you will be able to tell why!

SI Cheerleader of the Week: Charlotte Hornets Honeybee Lauren

You should know of my love for the reboot of the Sports Illustrated Cheerleader of the Week feature. This thing was a staple for years before it inexplicably went away for a bit. But then cooler heads prevailed and they brought it back with a vengeance.

Most of you are also aware of my love for the Charlotte Hornets Honeybees. So when these two loves collide (like it did this summer with Laken's feature), you know I am on cloud nine. Today we've got Lauren's SI feature and, as expected, it is amazing.

See the rest of Lauren's feature here. Photo credit to Yeung Photography.

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 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!

It's Never a Bad Idea to Feature the Dallas Mavericks Dancers

There are a lot of reasons to highlight a team here on Pro Cheerleader Heaven. We could be celebrating a championship or the release of a brand new bikini calendar. Or maybe they just rocked some epic Halloween costumes on the field.

But for some squads, you don't need a special reason. The Dallas Mavericks dancers just happen to be one of those squads. Honestly, it wouldn't be a terrible idea to commit one day every week to these lovely ladies. But until that day comes, you'll just have to be happy with this great set of pictures!

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!

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.

The Chicago Luvabulls are Ready to Start the Season

The NBA regular season tips off in just under two weeks, and I could not be more ready. I feel like this is the year I actually pay a little more attention than usual. Not sure why, I just think I want to give it a real shot this season.

But now I need to find a favorite team. Based on today's post, the Chicago Bulls might be an early favorite for that #1 spot in my heart.

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!

Is It Time for the Charlotte Honeybees to Take the Court Again?

I don't know about you guys, but I have been having a serious case of Honeybee withdrawal. These lovely ladies haven't been on the court in a while, and I think I'm starting to have a physical reaction to their absence. Luckily we have a few pictures to tide us over until the season gets started back up again!

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 Houston Rockets Power Dancers Can Sign Some Autographs

Since we are about to be knee deep in NFL cheerleaders around here, I thought I would try to spread the love a little bit today. So we're stepping away from football for the day and heading over the NBA. Though we're not straying too far from yesterday's post since we're actually staying in the same city.

But that's only because I feel like we really need a dose of the Houston Rockets Power Dancers before coverage of the NFL season takes over. Hell, the pictures are even from the same source as yesterday. After all, Scott does a hell of job, so I don't see a real need to fix what ain't broke!

Happy Cheer Selfie Saturday from the Memphis Grizzlies Dancers

Somehow the Memphis Grizzlies dance squad keeps getting overlooked here at Pro Cheerleader Heaven. I don't know why that happens. It sure as hell isn't a conscious decision. I think it really comes down to a "too many cheerleaders, not enough time" issue. Which is a terrible excuse.

So we're going to start our apology to the Grizz Girls with this great Cheer Selfie Saturday submission and hope that we can keep them more on our radar as the year progresses.

I Feel Bad for the Dallas Mavericks, So They Get Their Cheer Selfie Saturday Debut!

Deandre Jordan absolutely did the Dallas Mavericks dirty this week. Sure it created the greatest emoji war in the history of emoji wars, but that's not the point. In the end the Mavs were out-emojied by the Clippers and Jordan is staying in Southern Cali.

But you have to feel bad for the Mavs and their fans. Which is exactly why I thought today was the perfect time for the Mavs Dancers to make their Cheer Selfie Saturday debut. Because nothing lifts the spirits of a down-trodden fanbase like a cheer selfie!

We Didn't Properly Celebrate Golden State's Championship

The only way we truly know how to celebrate a team's championship is by featuring their cheerleaders and sharing the best their squad has to offer. So that's what we're up to today: celebrating the Golden State Warriors first championship is a few decades with the Warrior Girls!

Props to Nicholas La for the 1st 2 pictures!

The Charlotte Hornets Honeybees Should Never Wear Anything But This Uniform

Seriously, why would the Honeybees ever wear anything but this? Those pants have to be the best thing that have happened to professional cheerleading since . . . well, I don't know what. The point is these pants are fire and the Honeybees should never be seen without them!

The Spurs Silver Dancers Drop a 6-Piece Cheer Selfie!

So it should be obvious by now that I love a good cheer selfie just about as much as anything. Why else would I create something like Cheer Selfie Saturday?

But with as many cheer selfies as I've seen in my time, I don't remember too many featuring this many NBA dancers in the same shot. The Heat dancers got 7 in their shot a couple of weeks ago, but that's an anomaly. Most of the time we get only get a couple of cheerleaders per cheer selfie.

So major props to the San Antonio Spurs dancers for squeezing 6 Silver Dancers into their shot. After all, you can never get too many dancers in a single picture!

Our Pal Carin Won the Miami Heat Dancers Award for Veteran of the Year

I meant to share this a couple of weeks ago, but it completely slipped my mind. Our pal Carin recently won the "Veteran Dancer of the Year" award at the Miami Heat dancers annual banquet. Carin is a 2 year vet for the Heat dancers and one of my very favorite NBA dancers.

Congrats Carin!
