Best Dance Team in the NBA D-League? You Decide!

Since they won last year, it's only right to assume the Skyleaders as the top team this year.

Since they won last year, it's only right to assume the Skyleaders as the top team this year.

Well, there wasn't a D-League game last night so I spent my night doing the dirty work for you: I looked at all 16 D-League team's websites to determine which dance team is the best.

Unfortunately, not every team has a dance team that I could find and some dance teams didn't include individual pictures; thus, those teams weren't included.

After much debate, these are your official choices, via RidiculousUpside, for best D-League dance team.  Since full 
team photos didn't fit, we just made sure to give you a sample of some of the better dancers* (Best Team Photo: Above).  Just click on each team to see the rest of the team. Without further adieu:

Sioux Falls Skyleaders

Rio Grande Valley Snake Charmers

Bayhawks Dance Team

Madame Ants Dance Team

*I have no idea if they're the better dancers because the D-League inundates Futurecast broadcasts with the same commercials 46 times a game at every break.

For more choices, keep reading.

Capital City Dancers (Austin Toros)

Do the Wiz not have one?

This is about how they dance, not beauty

But they don’t have individual pictures and aren’t attractive, so they were disqualified.

BANNED

Scott,

You are banned from Martz Madness unless you add the Madame Ants to this poll.

Good Day,

Garrett

Ha

Typically I’d say something really mean about you never updating Martz Madness so that wouldn’t really be a big deal to me, but I’ve turned over a new leaf and am really nice now.

Fixed!

I try to keep people happy

I could include Sheena though, because I’ve heard about the Mad Ants birthday 72 times it seems.

There is no way a dance team called the "snake charmers" doesn't win this going away.

There is just too much hilarity in there. Also, one of the “snake charmers” is posing like she’s in a wet T-shirt contest. Done.

I know

But the Skyleaders have a midwestern charm and twitter account.

How about I frame it this way.....

if the entire cast of Jersey Shore was on a dance team it’d be called the Snake Charmers. Either that or The Syphillis Squad.

the snake charmers. that they are even allowed to have that name earns my vote. classic.

Erie can’t even get on the ballot?

I'll be honest

If it was easier to find their page, they’d have been on the first ballot. Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, they’re the only team that doesn’t have a link via one of the tabs at the top of the Bayhawks page.
Thanks for alerting me though.

Clearly its a South Dakota thing...

I must say, judging by the response above… SD girls… much better than anywhere else.

by Skyforcefan on Jan 19, 2010 6:27 PM EST reply actions  

Clear winners IMO,

after careful consideration.

Interesting note: Tulsa’s photographer also took photos of Luke Ridnour and his baby:

Armorettes

I was going to complain that they are not included in the judging, but then I realized the headshots are not very good. I can honestly say the girls are far better looking in person… Come on Springfield, get a decent photographer!

by WMass_Colt on Jan 20, 2010 2:20 AM EST reply actions  

I think all the girls are pretty but....

the pictures for the madame ants do NOT compliment them at all. Their pictures stick out, not in a good way. Sioux Falls are definitely the hottest all around.

by thSituation on Jan 21, 2010 9:17 AM EST reply actions  

yeah...

Agreed… I was all for da ants last year though. I’m a Sioux Falls switcher now
