Want to find out how NBA dancers get those killer figures? Vert Fitness & Wellness Center in East Dallas has a new class form Mavs dancer Dinesha McGill. The class is called "Hip-hop in the Box." McGill literally makes a box on the floor using tape, and teaches students dance moves that keep them in the box, which she says is a technique that a lot of dance classes use. McGill claims that anyone — even those of us whose main dance move is there’s-something-stuck-to-my-shoe-and-I’m-shaking-it-off — can take the class.

McGill isn’t the only Mavs dancer who teaches at Vert. Lauren Castillo, a former Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader and current Mavs dancer, teaches Balloga, which combines ballet and yoga techniques.
