Dancing up a storm: The Dallas Mavericks' cheerleaders debuted a new costume at the NBA game against the Portland Trailblazers on Monday night
- White, glittering spandex dresses were on show during the half-time performance on Monday night in Texas
On
Monday night, the cheerleading team took to the basketball court for
the half-time show wearing short, white spandex dresses with cut-out
panels.
Although
skimpy outfits are run-of-the-mill for women who perform the daring and
athletic routines at professional sports games, the briefness of the
Mavericks new ensembles could raise some eyebrows.
The costumes bring the Mavericks on par with other cheerleaders in the same Texas city - the Dallas Cowboys' dancers, who are known for the briefness of their hemline.
The
attention-grabbing get-up has paid off - the Dallas Cowboys'
cheerleaders have become famous in their own right and have their own
reality TV show on the CMT network.
Despite the Mavericks'
prominent public profiles - up to 16,000 fans have been known to attend
games at their home stadium in Texas - the financial reward is somewhat
lacking. They are paid a flat rate per performance.
Most
of the Mavericks' dancers - a commitment which can involve three
practices and three games a week - have other careers. Although some of
the women are professional dancers, others work as elementary school
teachers, radiologists and sales girls.
Drawing focus: The Dallas Mavericks dancers can rehearse up to nine hours a week to be ready for the big games
