Laker Girl profile: Danielle a big fan of Crest strips
This is the sixth post of a weekly series that helps you get to know the Laker Girls (who, by the way, officially go by one name only).
Laker Girl name: Danielle
Hometown: Louisville, Kentucky
Years on the Laker Girls squad: 1
Area of Residence: North Hollywood, California
College/High School: Assumption High School; University of Louisville and Orange Coast College
What prompted you to want to become a Laker Girl?
I wanted to be a part of the most prestigous dance team in the NBA and become more involved in the community.
What do you think stood out to the judging panel, about you, regarding your audition?
I think my passion for dance stood out. When I perform, I feel it is important for anyone watching, to be able to tell that I'm having fun and I love what I do.
What do you think makes a good Laker Girl?
I think a Laker Girl should be professional, conservative, hard working, dedicated, positive, enthusiastic, and genuine.
What is your dance experience?
I've been dancing since I was 6. I am a studio trained dancer and was also a member of Assumption High School's dance team. (where we won 2 national championships) I then went on to dance for the University of Louisville Ladybirds. After that, I was a member on Orange Coast College's dance team. For the past 2 years I have been working at Disneyland as dancer. In addition, I take all styles of dance classes in L.A. whenever I get the chance.
Favorite dance routine, while being a Laker Girl?
Walk This Way
Favorite uniform?
Our newest one! We call it our “ruffle” uniform. It is purple, a two piece outfit which consists of a top and skirt. The uniform has yellow trim, ruffles and rhinestones.
Favorite Lakers Player?
Shannon Brown
Favorite Laker Girl memory so far?
My favorite memory was when my parents visited me from Kentucky and got to see me perform on the Christmas Day game. It was my parents first Lakers game!! Unfortunately we lost that game, but it was still really nice to have them there.
What do you like most about being involved, as a Laker Girl, at local charity/community events?
I love that I have the chance to put a smile on a person's face, or maybe make their day a little brighter.
What would you say is your beauty secret?
Crest white strips!
What diet/workout tips do you have?
I've found that running makes a huge difference for me and my body. I try to do an ab workout everyday and drink lots of water! Take it one day at a time.
What are your hobbies?
Yoga/Pilates, Photography, travel, boating, watching movies and I am learning how to play the guitar.
Career aspirations?
Right now, I would like to stay a professional dancer in the industry for as long as I can! (book commercials, movies, award shows, tours, etc.)

A LAKERGIRLS PROFILE OVER THE FABULOUS JUSTANOTHERMAMBAFAN ....NEVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!
Posted by: Mamba24 | January 15, 2011 at 01:40 PM
Well, I am certainly glad that I stopped by today. Personally, I usually get Colgate because it's often on sale at my local supermarket. I have however, used Crest in the past. Never the strips though. Once, many years ago, I was summoned to partake in the civic responsibility called "jury duty". A large group of us filed into a courtoom where questions were asked. One elderly gentleman was asked what his profession was. He answered, "dancer" and was promptly dismissed. I guess that's about all I have to contribute to this thread.

Just imagine if any of the Laker Girls used both Crest White strips and also moisturized, moisturized, moisturized. But even then they would be as if a pimple besides the glorious Fabulous Justanothermambafan. Now Stop this ISH, stop it now and give Lakers Blog what they want.

As well he should WesJoe! This nonsense has gone on long enough. The nerve!!! Stringing the Fabulous Justanothermambafan on that way. The man should be down on his knees begging, Begging I say for fabulous to go to the ASG!! As for you, you say you haven't seen a game in weeks? Shame on you, you should stay up just on general principal because of that. Now get yourself to the drug store and get some Dr. Fatty's Lakerholic tonic immediately man.
Posted by: Mamba24 | January 15, 2011 at 04:35 PM
OH NO!!!! TIE GAME STEELERS 24 RAVENS 24

Wes - don't know if you're still checking this thread but the Bulls/Miami game's on now, NBA TV. Tied in the second, go Bulls!
****
Mamba24 - wth?? I'm owning a bandwagon? Last time that happened it must have been about Slava or Kwame. I need to stop by more often old friend.
