The Orlando Predators Arena Football team is ready to entertain once again, and its dance team is a big part of that. From new dance captains to enhanced wardrobe accessories, these ladies are pushing for Prowler perfection.
Inside a Longwood dance studio is a dance practice led by full-time middle school teacher Lora Costantini, who is also the dance team director for National Arena League squad, the Prowlers.
The squad enhances the Orlando Predators Arena Football fan experience. The young ladies are the spirit behind the Preds, and say they are stoked about a fresh season and fresh personalities.
Lora was a Prowler for three years. Born in Canada, she moved to Central Florida as a wee little tot. As a teen, she started dancing for Disney. “I danced for theme parks and for a whole bunch of companies," she said. "And I just started dancing and making a living off of it.”
From team outings, promos and charity work, the Prowlers pride themselves on fine-tuning their competitive dance skills to bringing joy to fans of all ages. She says getting the call to lead this team of young women was the best pick-up of her professional career.
In 2021, the Preds returned to competitive play, led by newly collaborated owners. You can catch the arena action when the season starts Saturday.
