Faith Ward

You've got to put in the effort.

I'm just going to send you the link to apply and let you know that if you do make the steps going forward for the online auditions, we will help you get a visa to come to finals.

I was like, okay.

girl absolutely so basically did all the online submissions so it started with a video round submission for online one right a video of you dancing or they want to see how you present yes so basically I just want to see like you speaking to the camera so just hi my name's Faith you know your generic details about yourself and

And then just a 1 minute 30 video of you dancing.

So I had already pre-recorded this 1 minute 30 video to send off for other jobs.

Because I was like, I wasn't trying to supply for anything and everything.

So I'd perfected this video.

I knew it had everything that I could offer in every genre of dance, style, fashion, beauty.

everything was in this video so i sent that off with pretty high hopes i was like okay like i hope they like this video i hope it's what they're looking for but i did also know that it's very different to what they normally go for when they apply because obviously the pro dance cheer style was with palms so i knew that i wasn't going to be sending that through i'm going to be sending through me with my hair up and showing my differences and you'd never the cheer that style that you'd been doing didn't involve pom-poms

No, my cheer that I did growing up was backflips.

I was getting thrown in the air.

I was doing the pyramid sort of thing.

Yes, the pyramid, you know it.

Exactly.

And that was called all-star cheerleading.

And then the pom-pom cheerleading style that you do in NFL is called pro dance style.

So they're very different to each other, but obviously have similarities in the fact that, you know, you're all put together and you're flexible and you're kicking and you're doing all that stuff.

So it definitely helped me with learning to adapt.

That's actually like a pretty hard fact to know.
