Shake Your Tail with the Lizards Dance Team

New York Lizards News Release
Garden City, NY (June 12, 2015) - Paula Sanders has been coaching the talented New York Lizards Dance Team for three seasons now. She has built a team of passionate girls who bring a great spirit and energy to all New York Lizard Lacrosse games.
She has had the pleasure to watch and help the dancers and the team grow over the years. Paula claims that this is her greatest accomplishment thus far.
When building her group, Sanders, the daughter of two dancers, looks for women with great attitudes that bring something positive to the table. She wants people who are prepared to learn new things and who are ready to work hard. With this in mind, Sanders created the 2015 team consisting of seven veterans and seven newcomers.
"Each dancer brings spectacular talent and a diverse background," said Sanders. "I have enjoyed watching the team melt together as a whole. The veterans have set a great example for the new girls, who have gracefully emerged themselves as Lizards dancers."
The Dance Team members come from all walks of life. From the popular NFL Superbowl commercials to performing at the World Convention Center in the Netherlands to taking part in a dance routine behind famed Swedish electropop duo, Icona Pop, the Lady Lizards have a plethora of experience that they add to the Lizards fan experience during each game.
This season, young dancers can learn from these talented women. The New York Lizards Dance Team is offering a two-day dance clinic July 7th and 8th. This clinic is open to all levels of experience from ages 6 through 17, and will consist of learning a half-time routine that will be performed on-field with the Lizards Dance Team at the last home game on July 9th.
Junior dance participants will also learn about the skills and requirements needed to be a professional dancer. The Team will give direction on class recommendations and speak to young dancers about what practices are like, as well as what they do on game day.
For more information about this clinic and to reserve your spot, please visit NYLizards.com/danceclinic or contact Mike Charyn at MCharyn@NYLizards.com.
You can catch the Lizards and the Dance Team at the last two home games of the season, June 20th and July 9th. To reserve your seats, call 1-855-NYLizards.com or visit NYLizards.com/Tickets.
