Plymouth Magazine: How long have you been a Vikings cheerleader? What’s the best part of the job?
Alissa Staloch: I’ve been with the Vikings for four seasons (since 2010). I love the game-day experience; it’s always so exciting. It’s not all about the games, though. Being a Vikings cheerleader is a year-round job.
PLM: What do the Vikings cheerleaders do in the off-season?
AS: We act as ambassadors for the Vikings, participating in charity events that the NFL sponsors. Last year I went to Kuwait to perform for the U.S. soldiers there—a lot of them were from Minnesota.
PLM: What have you enjoyed in your two years in Plymouth?
AS: It’s a really convenient place to live. The city is well thought out, and I’m close to my job. I like dining out, shopping and exercising; some of my favorite places in Plymouth are Life Time Fitness, the Sunshine Factory and Target.
PLM: Where are your favorite places to go in Plymouth?
AS: The Life Time Fitness facility here is beautiful. I try to do yoga once a day, so I love Yoga Studio, too.
PLM: Are you planning on staying in Plymouth?
AS: Absolutely! I’ve been with my husband Joe for five years, and we think Plymouth is a great place to start a family.
