The Dallas Sidekicks Dancers, a professional dance team supporting the Dallas Sidekicks of the Major Arena Soccer League (MASL), have announced their 2020-2021 Dance Team.
Applicants were judged on being well-spoken and their ability to learn and perform a dance routine with passion and flair. The team will be comprised of 16 ladies that are team players and embody a true professional on and off the field. There are six ladies returning from last year and ten will be new to the team.

Due to COVID 19 and social distancing recommendations, the team did virtual auditions this year instead of in person auditions. "We had a huge response with over 40 applicants for the auditions and some amazing videos submitted from so many talented ladies in the community. The judges had their work cut out for them and it was difficult to narrow it down to the 16 ladies we chose," says Janae Green, Director of the Dallas Sidekicks Dancers.
The Dallas Sidekicks would like to thank the following judges who took time out of their busy schedules to review and judge the applicants and their videos.
