Junior Dance Team Auditions - September 8

Back for another season of excitement and high-energy performance is the talented Sixers Junior Dance Team. One hundred energetic kids showed up to shake their groove and give their best hip-hop moves to make their dreams come true. The dancers ranging from ages 9 to 12 were then cut to a group of 45 enthusiastic kids. This lively group of finalists were then taught a rigorous dance routine to showcase their moves to the panel of judges, which consisted of members of the Sixers Dance Team and Sixers executives. The selection process will continue and ultimately a thirty-five member team will be announced. The Sixers Junior Dance Team will be given the opportunity to show their hot hip hop moves to nearly 21,000 Sixers fans on selected game nights this season. Please check back soon for dates of their anticipated performances.
