Last month, nearly 500 women woke up early, tugged on their dance clothes and headed to the Lakers’ facility in hopes of fulfilling their dreams of becoming a Laker Girl.

Twenty-two women realized their dreams and will be dancing nightly in front of sold out crowds at Lakers games – that is, if the 2011-12 NBA season gets underway.

Regardless, the new Laker Girls still will be making appearances around Southern California, giving Lakers fans a chance to see them up close.

Here’s a glimpse of the 2011-12 squad. There a few recognizable faces.
