Qualifications, Requirements, and What the Judges Look for

The Indiana Pacers are looking for talented and skilled dancers who are at least 18 years old with a high school diploma or GED by July 8. If you are selected as one of the 2019-2020 Pacemates dancers, you are expected to perform at all Pacemates home games, attend rehearsals (twice a week), and have reliable transportation to rehearsals and home games. You are also asked to participate in appearances and various events. 

While you are paid for your practice time, home games, and appearances, please remember that being a Pacemate is not a full-time job. The Indiana Pacers expect candidates who are full-time students, hold full-time jobs, or are full-time moms.
