The Baltimore Ravens Cheerleaders are a cheerleading and dance squad for the Baltimore Ravens of the National Football League. Unlike other NFL Cheerleading squads, the Ravens squad is a co-ed squad, with the female cheerleaders doing various dance moves, and the males working on stunts, as in traditional cheerleading. The group was founded in 1998, and currently consists of 56 members (34 stunt team performers and 22 dancers).[1] The squad performs at the Ravens home stadium M&T Bank Stadium. The squad's director is Tina Galdieri, who cheered at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, as well as the WLAF's (later NFL Europe) Barcelona Dragons, and also led the University of Maryland's cheerleading squad to a National Championship in 1999.[2] The squad also has a "Lil Ravens" summer program, and unlike the other squads, boys also are permitted to join.[3] The group makes various appearances at parties and corporate functions throughout the year.[4] The female members of the squad also has a swimsuit calendar, with their 2012 calendar taking place in the Bahamas.[5] The squad currently has 31 female members.
