Who are the Body Armor Dancers?
The Body Armor Dancers are the official dance team of Washington, DC’s only Arena Football team, The DC Armor (American Indoor Football Association). This dance team consists of professional, talented dancers and performers that reside in the DMV area. All of the women on this team have what it takes to represent the Nations Capitol in a professional manner. This group of 20 women range in ages 20 to 39 years old. Their careers are in a variety of professions, including business, human resources, medicine and teaching. The Body Armor dancers plan to participate in community events, parades and festivals in and around the DC Metropolitan area.
