What It Takes To Be A Dancer For The Golden State Warriors

[@mikaela7466]

The amount of comments that are reducing these women to basically hookers or strippers is really disgusting... dance is a sport, these women are part-time athletes balancing that with another full-time job. They deserve real respect for what they do. Even though you might not notice them, and they’re not the focal point of the game, doesn’t mean they don’t have value

[@SMAnthonyW]

not just women. there are men cheerleaders too

[@mikaela7466]

@@SMAnthonyW yeah absolutely and they deserve the same respect but many of the comments were specifically derogatory towards women that's why I focused on them in the comment

[@raytas9140]

Mikaela right even if they were strippers they deserve respect it’s hard

[@4040tee]

they are basically strippers, they wear next to nothing and shake their asses in front of many people. the standards for decency have gone out the window it seems.

Amazing woman, not only educated and intelligent from uni, but also talented and dedicated to dance. Respect!

[@ryujinxyyeji]

At least they aren’t as strict as the NFL cheerleading team weigh-ins and they have to pay for everything at least the warriors dancers have everything from food to makeup covered by the company

[@hipnhappenin]

I’m wondering if it depends on the success of the team...

[@boohere2]

The best part is the food if you ask me lol oh and meeting the players

[@koolkat214]

The cheerleaders have always been invisible, but I never realized how much they have to go through to get to the position they are in. This video has given me a new perspective. Thank you!

[@boohere2]

they are not cheerleaders as she says. That is why they got rid of the palm palms. They are "dancers". I have seen the dancers at the warriors games. They are good. I never knew how much they practiced and what it takes to become one. Typically the dancers come out mostly during half time and time outs. That is when I tend to go get more food or drinks.

[@AbbyC543]

What a lovely young lady. Smart, Talented, athletic. Its nice to see how well they are treated by the Warriors organization; gym memberships, hair and nail stipends, meals. NFL should take notes.

[@karreyes9413]

She seems like an incredible person! They really do select for character.

[@ajgreen9289]

Omg she's a software developer as well! Im so impressed with Hannie!

[@vladiinsky]

As a pro cellist in a symphony orchestra, I was jealous of them going on the stage... Such unity! Never have experienced that in such a way. Got chills. Great video.

[@Ianmundo]

what isn’t mentioned: how laughably little they’re paid.

[@psp785]

I mean they're only really performing half time

[@iVince905]

Yup. I think most of them use this job as a resume builder.

[@RedAndTheCompany567]

Saving this💖 It was actually one of my dreams before I graduated high school.

[@luciasimone7352]

What I find crazy about the dance world is that you almost have to be overqualified. Not in this group per day, but I find that at least on the youth level, it’s nearly impossible to make a team/performance unless you can do elements that are way harder than the performance entails. I guess it’s just to make sure that everyone is super clean tho!

[@wonhoscake1214]

you play like you practice so I guess that's why

[@darkwebgirl]

This isn't the case. A lot of girls on the teams are weak links, many get hired on with no formal dance experience. It's a popularity contest first-impression audition. Once you make it past round one you know you have to be just likable enough to get past round two, and if you pass through to finals you know that all you have to do is nail charisma in the interview. It's a very arbitrary and very easy process, part of the reason why to me both the teams I made and the team I didnt make don't feel very special; I was probably the weak link on my first two teams and weak links got chosen over me at the final audition I embarked on. It's literally whether they like you based off of the impression you make in a very short amount of time.

[@willowtalbott4336]

I got to go to a warriors game in February and they are such amazing dancers!

[@s.r.1255]

As someone who dedicated 16 years to training in cheerleading, I am immensely appreciative of their goal to rebrand as dancers. While I have always had a ton of respect for professional "cheerleaders," what they do is not cheerleading at all. It is technical, difficult, impressive dance. Once my college cheer career ended, it was pretty frustrating to not be able to continue to be a cheerleader, because at the pro level, one needs a dance background, not a cheer background, to be a "cheerleader." Acknowledging that these incredibly talented athletes are truly dancers and not cheerleaders definitely eases that frustration.

[@yourownperfection]

I love that they perform with guys and they look great together. Also free food!

[@Kaalokalawaia]

It is just me? Or does there seem to be a different standard for the guy dancers? All the girls are trim and lean and gorgeous. But the guys look very... average?

[@antiawarenessawarenessclub]

Generally speaking there's more competition among female dancers than male dancers ie they might not have been able to be as choosey with male dancers because there just aren't that many of them auditioning

[@livindeadghoul]

They all look like they have the same body it's weird :/

[@PeterSolarchannel]

[@marbledfashion9616]

Honestly yeah, majority of the audience wasn’t even paying attention, I felt really bad.

[@livindeadghoul]

@@princess1peach Why?

[@boohere2]

Sad? It's what they are really passion about. Plus at least they are each doing some productive with their life. Just like if you had some type of passion which we all do. Say you had a passion for playing an instrument or singing. You would do it a ton of times and even try to make a career out of it if you loved it that much. You would take it seriously because you wan to be the best and you love doing what you do. I also want to point out they seem to love what they are doing which is a major plus. How many people have you encountered that just hate their dob or better yet just dislike it but do it anyways because ''it's a job''? I have many friends like that. In fact I have one friend that has been a fire fighter for many many many many years now. That friend of mine work place has just sucked in recent year or 2. Certain people are getting promoted when they shouldn't be or certain people kissing ass. It's just all being political too. My friend is ready to retire soon and get out...that is how bad it has become. See I then ask myself well why not just get out of a job if you dislike it that much? I guess it's easier said then done. I always say...do what you love to do. Do what makes you happy.
