On Thursday I was back at the Kings Practice Facility to attend a regular Sacramento Kings Dancer practice. The SKD practices are usually about 4 hours long, and they are non-stop! I buckled down and got ready for a long evening of photographing.
I arrived at the practice just before the dancers started to warm up. It was cool to see how the SKD prepare themselves for a long night of activity.
It was fun to see the dancers wearing all sorts of different Kings gear tonight. There were retro Kings logos, current ones, and player specific shirts like of DMC and Peja. All together the dancers mix of clothing choices made for a very nice blend of all things Kings.
After the warm up, the real work began. The dancers went through their first routine step-by-step. All aspects of the dance number was gone through carefully. Each dancer was responsible for making sure their part was precise and perfect.
It's a beautiful thing to see a routine come together. The hard work and tweaking really pays off in a satisfying way. These routines have to be perfect as the SKD are a professional dance team seen by thousands of people at each game.
Kudos to these amazing girls as they perform complex routines at every Kings home game. They work tirelessly to bring you something entertaining every time they step onto the court. For more from this practice, check out my photography blog HERE.
