The Shooting Stars are a diverse group of cheerleaders and dancers, who perform at all Atlanta Dream home games throughout the season. Selected by a panel of judges each spring, the Shooting Stars are composed of females and males, combining years of professional cheer and dance experience with an eclectic mix of styles. In addition to providing the on-court entertainment, the Shooting Stars also make an impact off the court, serving as community ambassadors in the Atlanta area.

The Shooting Stars are led by coordinator Brandi Ahmad. Brandi brings nine years of dance and cheer experience to the program and has cheered professionally with the Atlanta Falcons of the NFL and the Georgia Force of the Arena Football League. In college, she served as the captain of the nationally ranked Division II Carson-Newman College squad and was awarded the team’s 100% Award. Brandi also brings eight years of coaching experience to the Shooting Stars, having coached all-star cheerleading gymnastics and competitive cheerleading.
