Pershing proud

The Pershing Dance Company brought school spirit to the big stage, performing on the field at NRG Stadium as part of the pregame entertainment before the Houston Texans played the Denver Broncos. The dancers were invited through Pershing dance teacher Angie Amaro (pictured, kneeling, at left), who is a current Houston Texans Cheerleader (HTC). The team dressed in Pershing colors and delivered a high-energy routine the fans loved. Pictured (back row, from left) are HTC Callie, Pershing students Savannah Owens, Ava Hutchison, Hudson McPhail, Kyndal Rivers, Syndi Law, Tamara Milutinovic, HTC Anyssa; (middle row, from left) Kelyse Block, Jordan Lenton, Annalise Templeton, Ameerah Jackson, Madison Stigers, Lauren Anderson, Madison Armstrong; (front row, from left) Pershing coach and Houston Texans Cheerleader Angie Amaro, Aaliyah Porter, Zoe Bradshaw, Karter Milburn, Dashiel Batts, Natalia Aguilar, Ivy Evans, and Aleyla Jimenez.
