Nets Dancers in South Korea
From Nets.com
Hi family, friends and Nets fans,
Each day in South Korea is more amazing than the last! Today we performed at our first NBA Generations vs. KBL game in Seoul. The minute we stepped onto the court, our Korean fans went crazy. They loved our high-energy performance to “Proud Mary.” After getting such an overwhelming response, we were pumped to show them our dunking skills.
Right before entering the court, we circled up to remind each other how blessed we are to be here, and then we did a song and dance ritual to get us amped up. Our dunk show was CRAZY! It couldn’t have gone better. One Dunking Diva after another nailed their individual tricks and slammed the ball into the hoop.
The crowd went wild, especially for our more advanced dunks, which included a few passes and then a grand finale of Melody dunking over Cecilia — who was sitting on Siobhan’s shoulders! Our last performance of the game was a new hip-hop routine to Ciara’s song “Work.” The song says, “You better work” and that’s exactly what we did!
After the game, we came onto the court to take a few photos. When the fans saw us posed for our cameras, they came flying down the stairs to take our pictures. Parents were handing off their babies to us, and we were so grateful to be able to capture this moment on film. It was an emotional experience for all six of us and Sly to see how much the fans loved us. Words can’t even express our thoughts and feelings about today. I can speak for all of us when I say it’s something we’ll never forget.
After dinner we had some free time, so we went out to see more of Seoul. We took the subway, and it was the cleanest and most advanced subway system we’ve seen in our lives. We went to the N Seoul Tower, which was located all the way on top of a mountain.

There were thousands of locks locked in pairs on the trees and fences to represent love for a significant other. Our last stop was the top of the tower overlooking the entire city. The view was beautiful.
After a long day we headed back to the hotel to prepare for tomorrow. We’re so excited to perform again, but this time in Incheon. Be sure to check back soon for our next blog. We are having so much fun, but we miss all of our family, friends and Nets fans.
See you soon!
