Angela has dressed every type of dance: celebrity stage shows, half-time shows of over 800 performers, professional sports dancers, competitive dancers, professional wrestling and even events for The Grammy Awards featuring artists such as Stevie Wonder, Elivis Costello, and Mary J. Blidge.  Styling events is another of Angela's talents.  This past year, Angela was hired to style Cartier's, star studded, Rodeo Drive Anniversary Party with designs from Roberto Cavalli.

"Dance has always been a theme in my life, between ages 3-25, it is a part of my every memory." says Angela, founder of Angela King Designs, Inc.  Angela began dancing at age 3, spent all four years of high school on the pom squad, and continued into the pros with the San Francisco 49ers "Gold Rush" Cheerleaders, where she danced on the team for 7 years.  She then moved up, into management with the 49ers, directing the Gold Rush for 5 years.  During that time, Angela also co-founded the NFL Pro Bowl Cheerleaders and coordinated dancers for 3 NBA teams and 1 other NFL team.  "Being a dancer and working with dancers comes naturally to me.  It is something I love and believe in strongly." 

During her time as a professional dancer, Angela appeared in TV commercials, toured the world with USO Celebrity Tours, and danced with some of the best... Paula Abdul, Patrick Swayze, Tina Landon and Kenny Ortega. 

Angela published the first book of it's kind on professional cheerleading.  "There wasn't any type of resource available for people moving from cheerleader or dancer into management.  Now there is - I hope this book fills a void and helps directors prepare for their transition into administration." says Angela of the reason she wrote the book.  (For more information please see the link at the top of the page.)

In keeping with the fast pace of the industry, Angela works to bring new and different aspects to AKD.  The creation of The Costume Lounge Club is one of her newest additions.  The Costume Lounge brings industry information to the world of professional cheerleaders,dancers, and directors.  It links together the community and shares updates on products, events, and advice from the best in the industry.

Go Wild! Wear was lauched in 2009 to provide cheerleaders and directors with AKD house pattern designs available on-line for quick delivery.  Go Wild! also offers everything a cheerleader would need for costumes; poms, warm-ups, work out wear, audition costumes, and hard-to-find cheerleader boots.

Angela King Designs is proud of it's employees, the people who make this business possible.  The dedication they have to their art shows in each costume produced at AKD and the years of work they have in the industry speaks for itself.
