2011 Denver Broncos Cheerleader Auditions begin Sunday April 3, 2011!

Letter from Teresa Shear, Director of Cheerleaders:

Yes, it is that time of year again! Auditions are right around the corner and I wanted to fill everyone in on the details for 2011 as well as dates, times, workshops and everything you will need to know to prepare you to have the best audition possible.

For 2011, the audition will select 26 members to the Denver Broncos Cheerleaders and select 10 women to the Denver Outlaws Dance Team. The Outlaws Dance Team is open to women ages 18 and up. Both teams will be selected from the finalists from the audition process. The Denver Broncos Cheerleaders will only select women 21 and up by the deadlines listed on the audition forms (PDF).

The process will be very similar to last season's audition. Our preliminary round will consist of a short combination (4 eight counts) of basic dance technique. A turn, a leap, right and left kicks and simple choreography will be taught on the spot and participants will perform that combination for the judges in groups of three. After all participants have performed, 100 participants will be selected to move on that day to the Semi-Finals.

During the Semi-Final round, the participants will be taught a routine very similar to routines performed on game day by the Denver Broncos Cheerleaders. Again, the choreography will be taught on the spot and the semi-finalists will perform in groups of 3 for our panel of judges. The field will be narrowed down to 60-70 women who will be our finalists for both the Denver Broncos Cheerleaders and the Denver Outlaws.

The biggest change for 2011 is that workshops will only last one week instead of two weeks. Finalists will be evaluated over the next week in a series of workshops on either Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday. Finalists will be interviewed, tested on football knowledge, judged on work ethic during rehearsals and observed on interaction with the other finalists during the process.

Don't miss our Audition Workshop (PDF) on Saturday, March 19th. This workshop will give you inside information from former Denver Broncos Cheerleaders, and the women that run the DBC program.

We are excited to once again open up our final night of Auditions to the public. Last year we hosted a sold out crowd of 500 and this year we expect the turn out to be even larger so buy your tickets early. The evening is full of entertainment, from the opening group number, to the beautiful kickline sequence, solos by the finalists, performances in groups of 3 on more technical choreography, and a final performance by the new 2011 Denver Broncos Cheerleaders. It is a fun night for all ages!

Cheers!
