Dust off Your Pompoms!
The NET-Sational Seniors are a dance squad wowing spectators between quarters at New Jersey Nets basketball games. Guess what? These cheerleaders range in age from 59 to 83. They keep a rigorous practice schedule, learning new routines and perfecting their moves.
The NET-Sationals perform to crowd applause, including at the team’s playoff games against Toronto this past season. The troupe, which consists of 12 women and one man, dance to a mix of old classics and modern music.
If you were a cheerleader in school or always wanted to be one, now is your chance. Remember, old age is an art, not an illness. Challenge yourself! Call 1-800-7NJNETS (765-6387) if you’d like to try out for the team. Let us know how you make out.
