DANIELLE

DANIELLE:I love being able to combine my love for the 49ers with my passion for dance. And nothing is better than cheering on the best team in the NFL with my amazing sisters by my side.

VANECIA: I love the sisterhood and comradery that develops throughout the year.

What does it mean to be a 49ers Faithful?

DANIELLE:Being a part of a welcoming family with a championship pedigree in the community. It unites all our fans sharing one true love of 49ers football and continuing a dynasty of excellence.

What have you learned from being a member of the Gold Rush?

VANECIA:You really need each other to succeed. These woman have always been by my side and have been there for me whenever I needed them, on and off the field.

What is your most embarrassing moment?

DANIELLE: While cheering in college, we often went out on to the basketball court with signs to cheer with the crowd. While we were cheering I noticed that the crowd was moving their arms around and I got so excited that they were dancing along with the cheer. They were actually trying to tell me that I was holding my sign upside down! Oops!

What is your biggest fear?

VANECIA:My biggest fear is the unknown. It terrifies me not being in control, and not knowing what is going to happen to me when it comes to career, relationships, and family.

How would you describe your style?
