Meet Rocket Power Dancer Ann

Ann been an NFL cheerleader in Houston for two seasons. After her final season when Houston hosted the Super Bowl she thought it was a good way to end her professional dance career.

But one year later she found herself always watching the dancers and wishing she was out there dancing again! She went to the RPD audition and made the Power Dancers last season.

Being an RPD gives me the chance to be a positive role model in our community, especially when we have different appearances in Houston to reach out.

Interesting Fact: Ann was born in the Philippines and grew up with her grandparents. She moved to the U.S. when she was 10 years old.

I remember being so mesmerized by the dancers and watching their every move. The energy and excitement that the dancers had on the court inspired me to keep dancing and one day tryout for the team.
