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.

82 year old woman made the Nets Dance team

Two women are now officially the oldest members of the Nets’ new senior citizen dance squad. Margaret Dellavalle, 82, made the cut. So did Fanny Militar, 80.
“We’re living much longer today, and we’re capable of competing,” said Dellavalle. “I’m happy to have made it at my age.”

Auditions for the squad were held last week at the NBA team’s practice facility in East Rutherford, N.J., and the winners were chosen Monday.

Originally, Nets management planned to select 12 dancers age 60 and over, but the final roster numbers 15 - and they bent the age requirements by a few months.

“The turnout was great, and the talent was great,” said Nets spokesman Barry Baum. “It was better than we expected.”

Six dancers are from Manhattan, including Deanna Schwartz and Jeri Kadison, and one is from Bronxville in Westchester County. The rest hail from New Jersey. All are women except one: Joe Bianco, 62, of Ramsey.
