At the Pacer game they were giving out pictures of the power dancers and the ladies sat around and were autographing them. I dont know if they do that at every game or just for this one. Anyway, I didn't find them that attractive, actually I saw alot more attractive ppl in the stands then the one's dancing around with the pompoms. Also there dancing did look pro, I mean I didn't notice anything unprofessional about their performance. ------------------
C'mon, guys, this is a team site. If you want p*rn, go somewhere else. I'm sure Clutch has enuf on his hands, without... This is a BBall site. There are probably 10 million p*rn sites if you're inclined to that sort of thing. Here, the most outrageous thing you'll see is Hakeem in a Mavs uni... (which probably hurt Clutch to even make) Not to be a Puritan, but this aint the place for that. ------------------
wink3 spoke volumes w/o saying a word...TIGHT SHINY SPANDEX... mull that one around for a bit. the only place that would pass for street clothes is on South Main. guys on the street wearing b-ball unis are either ignored by the women or snickered at as if they were little boys. Rollin, i must clarify and disagree on a couple things- - my s/o was never ashamed of her looks; she knew she looked good, and did so without exposing any flesh. (pause for effect ) rather, she had to have eyes in the back of her head, as well as friends around her so that she was never alone and vulnerable to the marauding swine out there. that can be rather irksome... but then, she loved to party with friends and in so doing paid the price. - even treeman alluded to it- those power dancer outfits are designed to be lurid and to stir up your testosterone pudding. (they do a rather poor job, i might add) put them in a full-body, flat finish leotard and try it- would we still be talking? probably not. I've gone on too long about this... it's not even an equal time thing at this point, despite rather humorous suggestions that the power dancers are every bit as athletic and talented as the players on the floor- try running that by the Comets! What would warm the heart and not cost a dime would be to let the ball-kids run it out at T/Os and halftime and have a shootaround. either you'd find them endearing... or you'd run to the loo and /or grab a pop. ------------------ It takes a lot of brains to enjoy satire, humor and wit- but none to be offended by them.

Gotta comment. I can't speak for the Rockets dancers, but I did a feature on the Nugs Dancers. I know for a fact that all of these ladies either have another job on the side or are attending school full time. In other words, dancing for them is a second job. They spend around 10 hours a week on rehearsals alone. They do charity work, and they are constantly working. These girls have tons of dancing background, and I know they have to go through an audition here in which usually 150-200 girls audition for 15 spots. They are not just "another pretty face" as someone put it. Just my $0.02.

I can't believe some of you people. The Power Dancers are pornographic??? Puhleeeeeeze!!!!!!!!!! Tight, shiny spandex is wrong?? How else do you propose that they stand out? Dancing is about using the body as an art form. The tight fit shows off the body so that it may be used as such. Maybe if they danced in paper bags (some of) you guys would be happy. ------------------ "We got f*cking smashed every day.

During the overtimes in the Indiana game. The powerdancers brought out like 5 young girls from the stands to dance with them. They were having alot of fun out there dancing with the powerdancers. Plus what's wrong with their outfits? It looks like something any dance team would wear. Do you have a problem with Turbo and his tight fitting outfit too? ------------------
guess what i should have said was... keep the shiny noisy crap in the bedroom- the real deal puts it in the hole and gets back on D. PEACE OUT. ------------------ It takes a lot of brains to enjoy satire, humor and wit- but none to be offended by them.
Goods points by everyone, but I just want to say one thing: Was this not an appeal to the base instincts of the men on the board, as well as placing your s/o in the category of "look at the babe I have as a girlfriend"?

To compare music to sports to dancing and try to determine which is more difficult is ludicrous. Sure high school sports 2-a-days are more difficult than being in band if you are talking about pain. Why would you think that music is about pain? Have you ever been to the Houston Symphony? Those musicians practice 6 hours every day to maintain their playing ability (and they are some of the best musicians in the world).
the Houston Symphony, thats not high school is it? i am comparing MY high school sports to MY high school band, i was in both. In MY opinion high school sports are harder. At least in MY experience. ------------------ http://www.democrats.com
Its all cool man...but if her own mother was accusing her of being loose just because of her cup size, and men jeering at her makes her uncomfortable to the point that she intentionally tries to dress down and emphasize her intelligence over her beauty...it seemed to me that she felt somewhat ashamed. If she were proud of her looks perhaps she wouldnt try to downplay them. I dont know her personally, so I will take your word. My point was that if she is not a power dancer...and not trying to be tempting at all...yet she still is...then who cares whether they wear burlap sacks or spandex? (Although I think if you ask the power dancers themselves...they will choose the spandex) Hell sometimes on halloween they wear scary masks when they dance....is that to turn everybody on? My wife doesnt have a problem with me watching the power dancers...and the girl I knew who was one was her friend and co-worker. I certainly wouldnt put them in the p*rn category (which my wife would most definitely have a problem with)...nor do I agree with your accessment of them as being merely a spoon to stir up our testosterone pudding. They do not have that affect on me at least. If they do that for you...then perhaps that is why your wife objects. And if you think that what they do requires no talent or athleticism, I would challenge you and your wife to dress in whatever outfit makes you feel comfortable and try to keep in time with their next dance routine. I am sure that would make for a fabulous halftime show...and I will skip a trip to the loo to see that my friend. I am done re-hashing my points over and over as well, so lets agree to disagree. ------------------ [This message has been edited by Rollinrockets (edited March 14, 2001).]
Originally posted by DC Rock: I doubt anyone would disagree with you there, but this thread is about the Power Dancers and how they (professional dancers) relate to professional athletes and professional sports teams.

If you think the powerdancers, and discussions thereof are pornographic treeman, you should have grown up in the era of Sigmund Freud - you know, when they used to cover up table legs because they were considered phallic.

Payaso are you serious man? lol Goodness... A lot of sports is about sex appeal. If you don't like the cheerleaders, don't go to the games. There's absolutely nothing wrong with having cheerleaders dancing during games. It's not JUST sports. The NBA is entertainment. If you just want sports go to the park. ------------------ Hofstra 2001 NCAA Champs - BELIEVE! [This message has been edited by Timing (edited March 15, 2001).]
