Life of an NBA Dancer: Truths Not Seen on the Court.

In this day of reality television, it is very easy to view a show entitled The Making Of or the audition process for any professional cheerleading squad or dance team. On the other hand, there has been no detailed information presented about the lifestyle of a dancer in the sports industry after the televised audition has ended.

There are only myths that accompany the perception of a dancer in the entertainment world of a sports team. This is the first book to specifically detail the true politics and taboos for dancers in the world of sports entertainment.

This is a groundbreaking moment for dancers, because this book was written by one of their own. Likewise, it exposes and discusses the pros and cons of the world of entertainment in the sports industry. This book teaches a variety of skills needed for aspiring rookie and veteran dancers interested in auditioning for professional sports teams.

Learn about the sacrifices and time commitment needed to succeed in the sports industry. Also gain an understanding of the earning potential available and the required health and fitness practices.

The most amazing aspect of this industry is that more exposure for dance teams did not lead to answering the same questions dancers have been asking for years. Many dancers still do not know how to find out about general dance auditions or auditions for professional sports teams.  Life of an NBA Dancer: Truths Not Seen on the Court details the amount of dedication needed to perform in the sports industry today.

The audition process is only the beginning for the journey; additional personal sacrifices will be necessary in order to maintain longevity as a performer. Never forget that the foundation for a sports franchise is built politics.  Deals are made on every level, from advertising and sponsorship to the physical look of individual dancers on the court.
