Well I just got home from a Sonics game, our season seems to be a bit up and down so far. I love the energy that Chris Wilcox brings to our team! Hopefully we can make it back to the playoffs because there is nothing like dancing at a playoff game! Our Sonics Dance Team calendar came out today, be sure to visit www.supersonics.com to purchase one. They make great Christmas gifts. The gallery portion of my website will be updated with new pictures :) Also adding some more links to on-cam work for you to check out. Things are going very nicely for me right now. I did an awesome package for Fox Sports Net today during the game, kind of a day in life of a sonics dancer, and I think there will be some more cool things to come. Be sure you catch Sonics All Access on FSN NW. I also LOVE hosting The Varsity News, its so great to be involved in high school sports. Our football programs in this state are top notch, in fact Prosser is ranked no.30 in the nation! Congrats to them for that...well I'm off to bed, I need to be up in the morning early to get some work done, busy week next week, listen to the BJ Shay show on wed. morning, I'll be making an appearance!!
Happy Holidays!

I am excited to announce to you that I made the Sonics Dance Team again for my fourth year. It was a grueling process waiting to see if I would be lucky enough to join the team again :) Check out the Sonics Dance Team page to see my bio and more info on the other girls.

It has been way too long once again since I have written so I apologize for that. Right now we are getting ready to gear up for a season of The Varsity News. This is a show I will be anchoring and reporting for in Seattle. Its basically a sportscenter for high school sports.
I traveled to Europe for most of the summer as choreographer, director, and captain of the Budweiser Beerleaders. This was the top five girls in the USA that Bud and I chose to take over to the World Cup festivities. We performed at the games and toured Germany, Scotland, England, and Ireland. This was so much fun!! I wish I could still be on tour but I am back in Seattle still doing what I love! Could I ask for more? Here are some photos from Europe:

Driving Sports Video Please make sure you check it out and let me know what you think! Trip to London was more than I EVER could have asked for. We are going back in June to tour Europe, starting off performing in Germany for a week or so at the WORLD CUP, the biggest sporting event on the planet!! We also did some great photoshoots, this picture is from The Daily Star photo shoot in the UK where we imitiated very famous soccer moments caught on camera!

Hi everyone,
I am so excited to visit London in a couple of weeks, I will be traveling their as one of the top 5 cheerleaders in the U.S. and to represent them for World Cup activities in the UK and around Europe. How exciting, it will be a lot of fun :) I am sure the days will be jam packed with interviews, photoshoots and practice but I am so honored they selected me to head up this elite group of women.
Here is an article in the Detroit Free Press that came out today, I am also putting a picture up of the phone they are talking about, my new Sidekick II jeweled by NYCPEACH, its a work of art. These photos really don't do it justice, it's blinding!

Happy Thanksgiving!
Well once again it has been way too long since I wrote a newsletter on alidudek.com so I am taking some free time over the holiday break to say Hello! Things have really been awesome lately. Sonics season started again so of course dancing is keeping me extremely busy! There is nothing better than performing and I am sooo happy that I can continue to do that with the Sonics Dance Team. I will let you know as soon as I can about the new places you can see me. Its very exciting but still a secret. I recently went to Paris, France for some work and scheduled to be going to London a couple times next year for more work! I am becoming well traveled :) Hope all is well with you and check out my gallery, I added pics.
XOXO

Today was another once in a lifetime experience to chalk up. I was a VIP guest of the United States Air Force Thunderbirds! I was up close and personal with the team and the planes and let me tell you it was phenomenal! I jokingly told a friend shortly after the visit that I was joining the military! It does its job as the most important recruiting tool they have!
My tour guide, Capt. David Moreland and I:
A couple weeks ago I was in California working at the MOTO GP. Those motorcycles are crazy fast. Nicky Hayden from the US was the winner :) Go Nicky! I also had a chance to meet the man, the legend, Michael Jordan, #23!. Oh and Brad Pitt too:
Bye for now :)

I am overdue for an update on my website! I hope you all are doing well and thanks for coming back to my site to check up on me. I have some great things in development right now. I will let you know more specifics when things begin to come to fruition, but for now I'll keep you guessing. I went to a great party the other night honoring all of the sports teams in Seattle, including the Mariners, Sonics, and Seahawks. Here is a picture from that night with Seahawks Marcus Trufant on the left and Seneca Wallace on the right. I'm a lucky lady!
I also got to go to the Snoop Dogg concert when he was in town. It was very fun especially because I got to join Snoop and Don Juan on stage for a dance. And YES I was invited lol...
And on stage...
Good times!
Well the summer has started so enjoy it. :)
XOXO,
Ali

Hi everyone,
First of all there is a new page up at ESPN.com with a story about me. Check it out!! Thanks to Todd Wright of All Night on ESPN Radio.
Ali's ESPN Article
I hope you all are enjoying the show and the controversy that comes along with it. :) It has been very interesting to see what the other contestants have to say and how they try to wiggle themselves out of things they have done or said. Much love to my man Alex..check out his website he has some great thoughts on each episode www.alexslattery.com.
Love,
Ali

Looks like there is some info up on CMT's website for Popularity Contest!
Take a look at it, there are some fun photo galleries and cool information about the show.
Also the Celebrity Poker Tournament will be airing on KIRO on March 25th. I am one of the players so check it out.
I just got back from a weekend in Vegas where I spent the day at the Las Vegas Speedway for the NASCAR race. Here is me on pit road!! It was the most amazing thing ever!

Its great to finally have my site up and running. I hope its fun to check out and easy to navigate. Let me know your thoughts or comments at ali@alidudek.com.
Last weekend I played in a "Celebrity Poker Tournament" at KIRO TV (our CBS affiliate here in Seattle). The series of 5 shows are scheduled to air during the month of March following the NCAA Basketball Tournament games! I played against some tough folks, but you will have to watch to find out how I did :) I might be in the finals which takes the winners from the first 4 shows and some special guests to Tulalip Casino for the grand prize of $10,000, to donate to a charity of course! The charity I chose was the Sonics and Storm T.E.A.M. Foundation.
My mom just emailed me and told me one of her friends saw a "Popularity Contest" commerical on CMT! I can't believe they are starting to promote it already. Its really going to be great guys, you will be hooked! I'm hoping to attend the CMT Music Awards, that would be a nice treat.
The weather has been unbelievable here! I took advantage of it today by going to the driving range and hitting some balls...three buckets! My arm is sore!! Well its the NBA All-Star break this weekend so no Sonics games, but I'm about to go watch the rookie challenge!
God Bless! :)
