The New York Liberty's cheerleading team, the Timeless Torches, held auditions for its 20th season, attracting over 100 dancers aged 40 and above. Founded in 2005, the team is notable for its inclusivity, challenging age-related stereotypes in dance and sports. Captained by Margaret Hamilton, the group emphasizes that life continues beyond certain age milestones. Their popularity has surged following the Liberty's recent championship win, further motivating dancers and fostering a sense of community. Similar age-inclusive teams exist across other basketball franchises, promoting longevity in sports entertainment.
We are breaking barriers. We are telling people: Just because you're a certain age, life doesn't end.
I cannot believe the amount of people that are here for this audition. This is our 20th season and being champions, what less would we expect?
