The Cleveland Cavaliers are searching for the region’s top dancers to join the popular Cavalier Girls dance team for the 2015-16 Cavs basketball season. Members of the Cavalier Girls serve as brand ambassadors for the Cavaliers organization, both on and off the court. Auditions to find the 2015-16 Cavalier Girls will take place at Quicken Loans Arena on Saturday, July 25th at 12:00 p.m., with registration beginning at 11:00 a.m. Pre-registration is encouraged at Cavs.com/CavalierGirls.

Dancers will be evaluated on several criteria including energy, professionalism and dance technique. Selected finalists must be available to attend a public outing and finalist workshops that will be held on select nights between Sunday, July 26th – Friday, July 31st. For a complete list of audition requirements visit Cavs.com/CavalierGirls.

“We’re recruiting high caliber dancers who share a passion to entertain — whether it is for 20 fans in the community or for 20,562 at The Q,” said Emily Smith, Director of Cavaliers Dance and Entertainment Teams. “We’re fortunate that Ohio has so many terrific dancers and cheerleaders thanks to great college and prep programs across the Buckeye State!”
