"I am extremely proud of these girls, as well as the ones who were not selected. It is difficult to subject yourself to this kind of scrutiny," said Tampa Bay Storm Dancer Choreographer Kindra Strocher-Ebanks. "In the end we can only take 16...that did not mean that we did not have 29 amazing young women out there."
The dancers had to survive three preliminary cuts to become one of 29 finalists. Most of the dancers have been training for months; working out and taking dance classes to prepare themselves to make the dance team. Finalists had additional rehearsals, fitness evaluations, interviews and a final public appearance last week.
"All of these ladies share in their love for dancing and performing. They are gorgeous and talented every year, this year was certainly no exception. The judges had their work cut out for them," added Strocher-Ebanks. "Every season the dynamic of the team changes, I am excited to get started and to get know this new group."
The Tampa Bay Storm look forward to next season with many key players from 2008 returning. All-Arena defensive lineman Tim McGill, quarterback Brett Dietz, wide receivers Hank Edwards and Tyrone Timmons among others will be back to take the 2009 AFL season by storm.
