Seven Waukon High School (WHS) cheerleaders were among those nominated or who made the National Cheerleaders Association (NCA) All-American Cheer Squad by attending NCA Summer Cheer Camp that took place at Village Creek Bible Camp, rural Lansing in early August. WHS cheerleaders Michaela Dehli, Ayonna McKithen, Taya Duehr, Jasmyn Enyart, Oonagh Ahouse, Aleah Howes and Allie Bieber were among those nominated on motion, technique, stunting ability, and other qualities the NCA staff is looking for.

Of more than 800 high school cheerleaders and dancers from across the country that will represent the camp brands of Varsity Spirit in the third annual Varsity Spirit Spectacular at the Walt Disney World® Resort in Orlando, FL from November 29-December 3 of this year, three WHS cheerleaders have chosen to attend this special event.

The individuals invited to perform in the Spectacular are part of a select group of high school cheerleaders who attended a Varsity Spirit summer camp this summer hosted by Universal Cheerleaders Association (UCA), Universal Dance Association (UDA), National Cheerleaders Association (NCA), National Dance Alliance (NDA) and United Spirit Association (USA).

Allie Bieber, Michaela Dehli and Taya Duehr will perform in an exclusive pre-parade performance through Disney’s Magic Kingdom Park before thousands of fans. Performers will have the opportunity to meet cheerleaders and dancers from across the nation and enjoy a magical holiday season at Walt Disney World® Resort parks after many rehearsal sessions and parade performances. These three girls will now begin the task of raising funds for their trip.

“These girls attended summer cheer camp this year and have learned so much from these opportunities,” Waukon High School cheerleading coach Amy Bieber said. “They are really looking forward to representing their school and Waukon at Orlando Disneyland, being part of the Varsity Spirit Spectacular.”
