Mavericks will have both dance and overnight basketball summer camps

DALLAS – In addition to the numerous summer basketball camps they annually host in North Texas, the Dallas Mavericks will host a dance camp this summer for the first time.

The program will be held three days a week from June 15-Aug. 3 in Plano, Grapevine, Dallas, Allen and Garland. All campers will receive a ticket to a preseason game next season, a camp T-shirt, a Mavs Dancer poster, and will also have a chance to dance at halftime during a preseason game next season.
