Local girl appearing in parade
Olivia Little, a junior varsity cheerleader from Phil Campbell High School, is one of more than 500 elementary, junior high and high school cheerleaders and dancers from across the country that will perform in the 2014 UCA/UDA Thanksgiving Tour at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Fla.
The individuals invited to perform in the parade are part of a select group of cheerleaders and dancers chosen as All-Americans during Universal Cheerleaders Association (UCA) and Universal Dance Association (UDA) summer camps across the country. All-Americans are selected via tryout based on either superior cheerleading or dance skills. Only the top 12 percent of the cheerleaders and dancers from UCA or UDA camps earn the chance to march in a holiday parade of this caliber.
Little will perform with the UCA/UDA All-Americans group in the pre-parade at the Magic Kingdom Park on Thanksgiving Day. The Varsity All-American program is celebrating its 27th year of choosing camp standouts.
