Colts cheerleaders rep U.S. for Chinese New Year
The Indianapolis Colts team of dancers represented America in Hong Kong for its New Year celebrations.
There was one group of performers chosen to represent the United States at the Chinese New Year celebrations in Hong Kong.
And while their usual color of choice is Indianapolis Colts blue, for Chinese New Year they carried the colors of a nation -- red, white and blue.
The Colts cheerleaders were the U.S. representatives for the 21st annual Cathay Pacific Lunar New Year Celebrations, which took place Monday.
A lineup of award-winning performance groups from around the globe gathered in Asia’s World City. The Colts cheerleaders were announced last month as the performers representing America.
“We are honored to have our cheerleaders selected to represent our country, Indiana and the National Football League in Hong Kong’s Chinese New Year Celebration,” said Pete Ward, chief operating officer for the Indianapolis Colts, in a statement. “Our cheerleaders are tremendous ambassadors for our organization and we are excited to have them share the spirit of the horseshoe on an international stage.”
