Varsity All-Americans Take On Thanksgiving!

Posted November 29, 2018

Varsity All-American cheerleaders and dancers from all across the country woke up bright and early on Thanksgiving morning to participate in some of the biggest holiday parades!

The Philadelphia Thanksgiving Day Parade took place in the City of Brotherly Love, where Junior High and Junior Varsity cheerleaders and dancers paraded down the streets of the big city.

Also taking place on Thanksgiving morning was the Varsity Spirit Thanksgiving Tour at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida. What better place to be on Thanksgiving than Disney World?

The cheerleaders and dancers were invited earlier in the year after being selected as All-Americans from camps such as Universal Cheerleaders Association (UCA), Universal Dance Association (UDA), National Cheerleaders Association (NCA), and National Dance Alliance (NDA).

The selections were tryout based on their cheer and dance skills after attending camp. Only the best were selected and they received an invite to participate in the parades.

Check out some of the special moments from the parades!
