It’s hard to source NBA dance team photos. They do not post game day galleries with the frequency or regularity of their sisters in the NFL, but I was able to scrape some photos of the Brooklynettes Dancers from their social media sites. So let’s take a closer look at this amazing NBA dance team.
The Atlanta Hawks are looking for the most enthusiastic, personable dancers/cheerleaders to represent the team on and off the court! Attending this Prep Clinic will put you behind the scenes with the ATL Dancers and give you valuable information to prepare you for your audition!

2019 Audition Process
3 things to remember:
- GET IN DANCE CLASS! The women on our team are consistently the most well trained, technical performers on the NFL stage. If you aren’t in class, it is hard to come to auditions at your peak.
- SHOW UP IN TOP PHYSICAL SHAPE! Like any athlete who tries out for a team, you are judged on how you look that day. Don’t leave anything to chance. Make sure you are at 100% to look your best and to have the stamina during a long audition week.
- DON’T GET DISCOURAGED IF IT’S NOT YOUR YEAR! Most women who audition do not make the team in their first shot at it. For many women, the audition process is new. Soak in all the information this year and be ready to take what you have learned and work on what you need to for next year.
Ways to Prepare:
Audition Prep Classes are held every Tuesday and Thursday starting mid-February. Classes will cover dance technique, flexibility, choreography and performance skills. Taught by two former Captains, the classes are a great way to hone your skills and pick up our unique style.
Director, Shawna Peters, and Assistant Director, Shelly Trujillo, will host the 2019 Audition Workshop (February 16). The focus will be on giving you all the tools you need to have a successful audition including dance technique, audition pointers, interview workshop, and finalist week specifics.
We hope the preparation opportunities above help you in reaching your goal of making the 27th team of the Denver Broncos Cheerleaders. We look forward to seeing friends, familiar and new, at this year’s auditions!
Sincerely,
Shawna Peters
Director, Denver Broncos Cheerleaders
