Sophia Takla Miss Oregon Jr.Pre-Teen was recently chosen as a Junior Blazer Dancer for the Portland Trail Blazer’s Professional Basketball team. After a grueling 7 hour tryout she was selected to fill one of only a few open spots! Many girls ages eight to eleven try out for the honor of being a team member and dancing at home games for the Blazers. Junior Blazer Dancers are always a crowd favorite. Sophia loves warm ups because when she’s warming up so are the Blazer players and their opponents, like the LA Lakers! After the games she loves to hear that she was featured on the HUGE Jumbo-Tron at the Rose Garden Arena! Sophia dances six days a week on top of a three hour JBD practice every Sunday evening! Sophia was part of an article featuring the Junior Blazer Dancers on OregonLive.com!
