BASRA, Iraq – Dressed in tie-front blouses, mini shorts, cowboy hats and boots, five Purrfect Angelz danced their way up on stage while the audience welcomed them with cheers of excitement.
The girls, Amber, Camille, Dakota, Giselle, Lindsay and Paige from the Purrfect Angelz elite dance troupe performed at the U.S. Division-South Resiliency Campus for the soldiers and civilians of Basra, Iraq.
“This is an amazing experience to be here performing for you,” said Gieselle a local of Orange County, Calif.
At one point during the show, Sgt. 1st Class Julio Torres, 1st Infantry Division, Division Headquarters, Headquarters Battalion was brought up on stage and experienced a one-on-one dance performance by Lindsay as she sang to him “The Way You Make Me Feel” by Michael Jackson.
“The show was awesome,” said Sgt. Stephan Nickell, 1st Inf. Div., DHHB.
Nickell said that he and his battle buddies had been planning for a month, arranging different work schedules to be able to attend the show together.
“They really put on a great show,” Nickell said. “They lifted our morale so much.”
For the Purrfect Angelz it’s an honor to be chosen to come here and provide entertainment for the men and women fighting in Iraq, said Dakota, a native of Bronx, NY.
“I’m so humble to be here,” said Camille, a local of West Hollywood, Calif. “This Thanksgiving I didn’t hesitate a second to come here, I am so happy."
“We love you guys,” said Giselle, “You guys are truly my heroes.”
