Ni hao from China!
After 21 hours of travel, we finally made it to Shenzhen, China! As you may have heard, the six of us were invited by the NBA to represent the Sacramento Kings and perform as part of the Proctor and Gamble Pavilion Tour. We were welcomed by NBA staff members who were extremely friendly and accommodating. They allowed us to get a few hours rest before they treated us to an authentic Chinese dinner. Yummmmy! Although very different from the Chinese food we are accustomed to in America, it was still comforting and exciting to try new foods. Some of our favorite dishes were shrimp salad, sweet and sour chicken and chicken and mushroom soup. After dinner we were stuffed and couldn’t wait to get some sleep on Saturday.

As you may have seen on Kings.com, the 2009-10 Sacramento Kings Dance Team was announced last week. I feel honored and humbled to be back for my fourth season. The auditions were intense, and each year I feel as nervous as the year before.
The Biggest Little Dance Team
February 25, 2009 by Katie ·
Last weekend while the Kings were on the road, the Sacramento Kings Dance Team and I took a road trip of our own to Reno, Nev. We performed at the BigHorns-Stampede game Saturday afternoon to give D-League fans a taste of the NBA experience.
Six of us and four members of the Kings Crew left ARCO Arena at 9:30 a.m. excited for the day ahead. After doing hair, make-up and costume changes on the bus, we arrived at the Eldorado Hotel Casino for our first appearance, signing autographs at Brew Brothers restaurant.
Stepping off the bus we were greeted by BigHorns Co-owner Herb Santos, staff members and a group of awaiting fans. After signing SKDT posters and mingling with fans, we were off to the game at Reno Events Center.
The game was very exciting. We performed twice and the crowd was very receptive and complimentary. Having only six members of the SKDT performing, it was much different than a Kings game. With a smaller group and a smaller crowd, we really had to make sure each move and formation was on point. At halftime the Kings Crew showed off its break dancing ability and then we helped the Crew pass out tons of Kings t-shirts and mini-balls. The crowd was going crazy, and we wished we had brought more.
The BigHorns, who sported Kings jerseys for the night, ended up beating the division-leading Stampede with a half court shot at the buzzer. After the exciting finish we headed to our final appearance at Silver Legacy Resort Casino. We entered the casino to find our posters everywhere advertising our appearance. We felt honored the BigHorns put so much time into promoting us.
Following the appearance, we said our good-byes to the BigHorns staff and our Reno Kings fans. On our ride home we were all very thankful of the BigHorns’ organization and reminisced of the good memories we had made in The Biggest Little City. We were impressed by the professionalism of the BigHorns and can’t wait to go back as fans.
One of my favorite aspects of being a member of the SKDT is performing for fans who can’t make it to out to Kings games. Speaking of Kings games, its nearly tip-off for tonight’s match-up against the Charlotte Bobcats! I hope to see you all in the arena supporting our Kings!
