The Dance Craze of 2018 is... the Curl?! Cheetos Teams Up with Todrick Hall, Vernon Davis and LaDainian Tomlinson to Release New Music Video "Teach Me How to Curl," Rallying Support for USA Curling

Cheetos tapped musical sensation Todrick Hall and pro football friends Vernon Davis and LaDainian Tomlinson to create a new dance move, "The Curl." The dance is designed to win support for the unsung heroes of the sheet (that's the ice for curling newbies) leading up to USA Curling's big competition this February. The music video, "Teach Me How to Curl," is available now on Todrick's and Cheetos' social channels.

Inspired by the beloved tradition of the touchdown dance, Cheetos looked to America's most popular sport, football, for inspiration and enlisted two of its all-stars to lend flare to "The Curl." Pro football tightend and curling fan Vernon Davis and hall of famer LaDainian Tomlinson joined Todrick Hall to teach America how to #DoTheCurl in the new video. As a show of solidarity behind the sport and USA Curling team, Cheetos is encouraging fans worldwide to get in on the fun and share their own curl dance using #DoTheCurl.

"I'm always looking to entertain in exciting and unexpected ways. When Cheetos wanted to team up to create a new dance move, 'The Curl,' I immediately leapt at the opportunity," said Todrick Hall, singer, dancer and entertainment triple-threat. "Doing 'The Curl' is a blast and I can't wait to see people get behind this new dance craze and the USA Curling team by sharing their own renditions."

Cheetos Debuts Cheetos Winter White Cheddar Curls
While Chester Cheetah has been focusing his mischievous energy on curling, let's not forget that Cheetos is still the expert in a different kind of curl, cheese curls. The brand will debut the new, dangerously cheesy Cheetos Winter White Cheddar Curls, available for a limited time beginning February 12, so you can enjoy a snack while supporting USA Curling.

"The Cheetos brand prides itself on adding a little mischievous flare to whatever we do, whether it's supporting a sports organization or opening a new restaurant. We hope our fans join us this winter by getting behind 'The Curl,' and supporting USA Curling" said Ryan Matiyow, senior director of marketing, Frito-Lay. "The more fans who join the movement and do "The Curl," the more love and excitement USA Curling will feel, bringing the curling team that much closer to sweeping the competition this February."

Fans can follow #DoTheCurl to join the rallying cry for USA Curling, witness fellow fans' epic curling moves, and share their own sweeping skills while learning more about the sport. For more information about upcoming activations, visit www.Cheetos.com and follow Cheetos' social channels:
