On Tuesday, March 15, E! will be premiering a new series
called “LA Clippers: Dance Squad”, which
will feature the Los Angeles Clippers Dance team. Based off the previews that
have aired, one of the standouts looks to be Tennessee resident and a friend of
mine and Bethel alumnus, Savanna Read.

I got to know Savanna through her time at Bethel University,
when in 2011 she was part of the inaugural group of Rawr Cats, the name of
Bethel’s dance team before it merged with the cheerleading group to create the
Bethel Spirit Squad. Fast forward to today, she has made a successful transition
from college dancer to a professional dancer and is now part of one of the top
dancing teams in not just the National Basketball Association (NBA) but in all
of sports. With her beauty, talent, and determination, there’s no telling how
far Savanna will go in the Clippers Spirit team and beyond. In fact, former 3x
WWE Divas Champion Eve Torres-Gracie got her start to fame as Clippers Spirit
dancer. I’m not going to call Savanna the next WWE Divas Champion, but I would
not be the least surprised to see her reach heights that even SHE didn’t think
were possible.
I don’t work for E!, so I can’t tell you how Savanna will be
portrayed in the show, but if her social media and my personal relationship are
any indication, I can tell you that she is going to be one of the most
entertaining parts of the show. It’s great to see someone you know do whatever
it takes to make it to the top and do it the right way, and that’s exactly what
you are going to get when you see Savanna’s journey as a LA Clippers Spirit
dancer unfold for the world to see. Strap in, folks…you’re in for a treat!
For more on Savanna, check out her website at http://www.savannaread.com and follow her on
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Youtube, as well as her LA Clippers Spirit page. And don’t forget to catch
her on “LA Clippers: Dance Squad” Tuesday nights on E! at 10PM Eastern/9PM
Central.
