The Washington Redskins Cheerleaders had their time in front of the cameras Thursday night at FedExField, as the Redskins Broadcast Network was shooting its WRC video capsules for the 2012 season.

The ladies were revealing all kinds of information, including an interesting fact about themselves and their favorite memories being the First Ladies of Football.

After the shoot — which ended around 7:30 p.m. Thursday — the team immediately went back into their studio for another hard practice to perfect their routines for Sunday’s home game against the Minnesota Vikings.

Here’s the behind-the-scenes photos from Thursday’s video shoot, via the Redskins Instagram account:

‘Skins Cheerleader Appears On ‘Today’

There’s a whole lot more that goes into the professional cheerleader world than simply showing up for the games and putting on a good show.

Being a Washington Redskins Cheerleader, for example, is a part-time gig. Every member has another full-time endeavor that takes most of their time Monday through Saturday.

Talmesha was among several professional cheerleaders profiled in a piece this morning on the “Today” show that takes a look at “Science Cheerleaders,” a growing group of women who perform during professional sporting events while also pursuing advanced degrees in science, engineering and medicine.
