This unique dance team is made up entirely from the real fathers of current and former Orlando Magic Dancers! They are the first and only group of real NBA Dancer Dads! Their hilarious comical dance routines have been a fan favorite for the last 2 seasons and have proven to everyone just where the dance talent genes came from!
