Honoring Our Legacy. Inspiring the Next Generation.
The NBADA unites women who performed at the highest level of professional basketball — celebrating their legacy, their sisterhood, and the generations they continue to inspire.
"We didn't just perform. We represented."
Our Mission
The NBADA was founded to honor the women who graced the courts of professional basketball — performers who brought artistry, athleticism, and grace to the world's most celebrated arenas.
We build lifelong community among alumni, preserve the history of NBA dance performance, and give back through charitable outreach — mentoring the next generation of young women who dream of performing at the highest level.
Our sisterhood transcends seasons, franchises, and decades. Once a dancer, always part of this family.
