About us:

The Boston Cannons Dance Team is a professional, volunteer dance team that performs at all Boston Cannons home games and any additional league games hosted in Boston which have included events such as the MLL All Star game and MLL Championship weekend.

The Boston Cannons Dance Team practices once a week for two hours during the season (March - August). The Cannons Dance Team not only performs on the field at each game, but also participates in on-field promotions and other game day fan activities. In addition, members of the dance team participate in various community service events throughout the season. This year members of the team volunteered at the NSTAR Walk for Children's Hospital, Avon's Walk for Breast Cancer, Tour de Cure and various MDA events.
