Ashburn (May 23, 2012) - The Washington Redskins Cheerleaders announced this week that registration is now open for cheerleaders and dancers at all levels, ages 7-17, for three Youth Summer Dance and Cheer Camps in July.


Led by one of the top instructors in the country, Washington Redskins Cheerleaders Director Stephanie Jojokian, aspiring dancers and cheerleaders will learn what it takes to become a professional dancer and cheerleader from the best in the industry.

Taught by the nationally recognized Washington Redskins Cheerleaders, camp participants will learn dance routines, improve their ballet techniques, refine their jazz skills and enhance their gymnastics stunts. They will also be taught team stunts and hip-hop routines. Awards will be given to participants for great performances, showmanship and technique.

Attendees will receive a free Redskins Youth Summer Dance and Cheer Camp T-shirt and will be taught a dance routine that could be performed at a Redskins home game in front of more than 85,000 fans during the 2012 season (weather permitting).
