Seahawks Dancers
The Seahawks Dancers, formally known as the Sea Gals,[1] are the official cheerleading squad of the NFL team Seattle Seahawks. Noted as one of the most intensely trained groups of NFL cheerleaders, the Sea Gals perform a variety of dance routines during home games. Throughout the year a select performance team called the Sea Gals Show Group travels in parades, performs overseas and at home with the USO, and participates in events with other NFL Cheerleaders around the world.

The Seahawks along with the Indianapolis Colts, Philadelphia Eagles, New Orleans Saints, Los Angeles Rams, Tennessee Titans, and New England Patriots are the only ones with males on their squads.[2]
