2010 Dragon Divas

On Saturday June 12, the American Dragons continued our 2010 season by participating in one of the year's most unique and entertaining races: the Dragon Divas. This annual race focuses on our Lady Dragons as they battle it out with other women-only crews from our International / Expatriate league. Our ladies showed their strength, style and technique by handily winning their preliminary heat and earning a place in the six boat final, where they finished in fourth place. Our congratulations go out to the ladies of SPC, AustCham Paddle Club and the German Dragons for finishining in the top three slots!

The American Dragons men, however, were not about to be left out of the fun and competition!

The Dragons participated in the annual fun (and only slightly disturbing) "Drag Race" and "Drag Parade." Our men (or is it ladies?) this year formed the American Dragons Cheerleader team, complete with custom made, logo-embossed uniforms, and a cheerleading routine choreographed by our own professional entertainer, stunt-man, and cheerleading coach and trainer, Adam Horwitz. Wigs were worn, cheers performed, tumbles tumbled and psyches scarred . . we may need some therapy, but everyone had a great time!

Next up for the team is one of the biggest races of the year, the Singapore Dragon Boat Festival to be held on July 10/11 at Bedok Reservoir.
