“Hi there! My name is Taryn O. and I am proud to call myself a 2014-2015 Washington Redskins Cheerleader. Like so many others, dancing has always been an integral part of my life. Once I graduated from college however, the opportunities to continue dancing diminished and I craved an outlet for my passion. I always knew that NFL cheerleaders had the luxury of balancing a career of their choice with intensive, glamorous dancing, but I never thought that I could be among those outstanding women. My best friend reminded me that I would never know if I could make it unless I tried, so I took the first step: I decided to audition for the Washington Redskins Cheerleaders, one of the most esteemed cheerleading organizations in the world.

I knew I couldn’t blindly walk into the open call audition and expect to make it very far, so I did ample amounts of research. That’s how I found Sideline Prep and I am SO thankful that I did! Sideline Prep allowed me to gain the confidence I needed to give it my all during the audition process–nothing that I read on the Internet could compare to the one-on-one coaching I received from GeNienne. She helped me perfect my look, taught me valuable techniques for both runway and print modeling, and acted as a support system throughout the months of prep classes and week of auditions. I can’t thank GeNienne and Sideline Prep enough for answering my slew of questions and teaching me the ropes!”
