Thunder Girl Auditions:

The Oklahoma City Thunder organization hosts Dance Team auditions each summer, with the initial round typically held in early July. Any woman 18 or older is able to audition, and team officials say they are looking for "energetic, show-stopping personalities." Finalists are then determined, and final auditions are held at Riverwind Casino in August.

If you're interested, don't miss Thunder Girls dance workshops throughout the summer, beginning on Memorial Day. For more information, contact Thunder Girls Manager and Choreographer Sabrina Ellison at sellison@thunder-nba.com or call (405) 208-4708.
