The NFL season officially got off to an exciting start last weekend with the Vikings vs. Steelers NFL Hall of Fame game in Canton, Ohio. The night before the game, the Minnesota Vikings Cheerleaders had a little time off to enjoy the Aerosmith concert- and the five captains performed on stage in their signature uniform "Baby Helga!" So Awesome ladies!

University of St. Thomas Dance Team: 2015 National Hip Hop Champions
Going a different direction on a dance, costume and theme is a risk many teams take. This past year, the University of St. Thomas Dance Team (located in Minnesota, not the island) took a major risk with a one song, Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z "Holy Grail" routine at the 2015 UDA College National Championship and it paid off! We were eager to bring their costume vision to life and match the "JT swag" they were going for.
