It was a dance off!

Cheer New Yorkers Lamont J. (left) and Will A. (right) took home first and second respectively at a dance competition at the Ritz on Wednesday, May 28. They were each given one (hot) minute to show their stuff to a song by Kylie Minogue. They each received a free ticket to her NYC concert for their talents.

Hostess Miss Chaka Convict rallied the crowd behind both contestants, and lovingly dubbed Will "Chuey"... Chelsea Handler's sidekick on the Chelsea Lately show. The crowd chanted "Go Chuey" as Will impressed the club goers with his hip hop dancing and toe touches!

Lamont, a veteran from "So You Think You Can Dance" stole the show with his unique style and floor work that left the audience chanting for more! —Mike V.

Why I love Cheer New York...

Happy Birthday Cameo!!

Today is Cameo's Birthday!

Cameo is one of our newest newbies and absolutely wowed judges at the January Cheer New York try-outs with her reenactment of a scene from Bring It On. Though she came onto the team as a base, she looks so beautiful in the air everyone keeps pushing her to be a flier. And trust us, she is up for the challenge.

What can we say "She's sexy, she's cute, she's popular to boot!" Happy Birthday Cameo! We are so happy to have you on the team.
