Looking back at the Orlando Magic Dancers super-spectacular holiday halftime extravaganza

Whew (as I breathlessly type away), it’s the end of January, can I squeeze in one more holiday season story? The Orlando Magic Dancers and all of the entertainment teams did their super spectacular halftime presentation right before Christmas during the game against the Jazz. I was all ready to post pics of all of the holiday festivities, then the flu hit me, my family, my co-workers, and eventually the rest of the state. But, even though it is almost February, I have to share the glittery goodness of the fun, so let me reach through the screen and sprinkle some holiday Magical dust upon the top of your noggin, and you can relive the late December halftime, featuring….

The Magic Minis from partner studio Starz Dance Galaxy,

The Dancing Dads (dads of current or former Magic Dancers),

The Silver Stars, always show stoppers, with a familiar red coated man now on extended vacation,

The Southwest Flight Crew and mascot Stuff,

And of course, the Orlando Magic Dancers,

Center court started off with the littlest Minis. In the middle is Malia, daughter of Jeanine Klem-Thomas, the Orlando Magic Dancers Manager (and she manages all the units that performed at halftime).

I hope Malia received that dolly that she was pining for! But what Malia really wants is her mommy’s job. Ready to skip the Magic Dancer portion of the journey, Malia has already decided that she will just jump in and replace Jeanine one day with the Magic.

Next, the Dancing Dads took the stage. The Dancing Dads, and their dancing daughters, discussed their motivations for being part of NBA entertainment, and will be featured soon in UltimateCheerleaders,

Silver Star Mary walked out onto the court, but soon, she was a “grandma who got run over by a ‘reindeer'”

Mary exclaimed, “I’ve fallen, and I can’t get up!” The Magic Minis showed their concern,

But soon, some medical attention was on the scene,

And Mary was right up there dancing with her Silver Stars,

The Southwest Flight Crew incorporated some holiday break dancing….

And of course, the NBA’s outstanding Orlando Magic Dancers topped it off as shining stars,

So Malia, if you get the chance to do your mom’s job someday, you will have big shoes to fill to match mommy Jeanine’s super-spectacular holiday halftime extravaganza!

Thanks to Jeanine and all the entertainers for all of their help!
