Dalli Hensley (19), of Waynesville, will now be cheering for the Atlanta Falcons Football Team. She first came into the limelight after she started as a dancer at Legacy Dance. The Atlanta Football team selected her this year for the 2023 season. Coming from a very humble background, Dalli has come a long way in life.

She started her dancing journey at Angie’s Dance Academy. Hensley credits her success to her initial dance teachers at Angie’s academy. However, her parents also played an important role in shaping her career.

Auditioning for the Atlanta Falcons has always been a dream for Dalli. However, her selection was not at all an easy process. She had to go through several rounds of trials before she got selected.

“Dalli has always had that special spark that sets her apart from others. Her passion for dance is undeniable, and she puts her heart and soul into every performance,” Legacy Dance instructor, Hayley Justice said.
