This episode is full of good news for female athletes and dancers about ways to care for their bodies and feel more empowered about their overall health!! Brittany and Mhkeeba interview Dr. Brittany Krake, a Naturopathic Doctor and former NBA Dancer for the Portland BlazersDancers. Learn about how Dr. Krake completed medical school while dancing in the NBA and built her naturopathic medical practice to empower people to make informed decisions about their own health. Dr. Krake’s background as a professional dancer gives her a unique understanding of the specific health risks and physical demands placed on pro cheerleaders and dancers.
During Cheer Chat, Mhkeeba and Brittany discuss their self-care regimens (or lack thereof) during their time cheering in the NFL. They also discuss the Philadelphia Sixers’ decision to change the Sixers Dancers female dance team to a coed hip hop dance team. The ladies also recap Mhkeeba’s appearance on the Open Mike morning sports radio show hosted by Mike Bianchi from the Orlando Sentinel in response to his blog post about the Orlando Magic Dancers, Dr. Krake shares the funniest story involving hair extensions for this week’s Locker Talk and plays along for Drop It Like It’s Hot!

Editor’s note: The NBA audition season is here and if you are a dancer who is planning on trying out this year, you may want to consider an audition outfit by one of our longtime sponsors, Dallaswear.
THERE IS ONLY ONE DALLASWEAR
For over 20 years Dallaswear Uniforms has designed some of the most iconic uniforms in the industry. From the Laker Girls to the Atlanta Falcons, our uniforms can be seen on beautiful Pro Cheerleaders in the NFL, NBA, NHL and many college and semi-pro leagues. Our clients come back time and time again because we deliver the hottest, best fitting uniforms in the business… always on time! Take a look at our Gallery to see our hundreds of gorgeous clients!
Excellent Fit
Our outfits are specifically made to flatter all of your best assets. Our signature ‘Dallas Shorts’ are cut to give you the best low-rise look with the perfect cheek coverage. Our waistbands don’t dig into your skin so there’s no ‘muffin-top’ or bulges. Mostly all of our tops are designed to cover your own personal halter bra, so you can feel secure and comfortable at your audition or on the field. Fashion changes fast, and so do we. Keeping our styles sexy and modern is what makes you stand out in the crowd.
Best Quality Fabrics
We only use the best Spandex Tricot and Poly Blends in our uniforms. Our fabrics are perfectly stretchy and washable. You’ll love the selection of colors that will surely match your team’s colors or your dream outfit. The fabric we use for the NBA and NFL is the same fabric we use for your dancewear and audition outfits. We believe that when you look good, you feel good (and you dance good!), so all of our Lycra, sequin and prints are top quality. In addition to our wide selection of solid color fabrics, we also have several Limited Edition prints. One of the things that can really make your audition or team outfit stand out is to use fabric with a cool pattern. We add new prints often to keep the style and looks fresh!
If you are a team director, send us an email from our Contact Us page and we’ll help you design something special. So have fun mixing and matching all of our styles and prints and create the outfit of your dreams.
Cheers and Love!
